How did the Defense get so bad?
-
Yeah, and it makes me wish we had Joe Schobert every week. I know we can't pay everyone, but middle linebacker seemed pretty important to me.
I get the sentiment... I wanted to keep Joe, too, just not at the final price paid. He's far from irreplaceable. LB simply was not a priority this off-season.

Yep, you absolutely nailed it. Left us with a big hole, but hopefully Mack can somewhat fill it.

I don't think Mack is that good honestly...

Yeah, me either really. But he honestly can't be worse than who's out right now. The combination of Mack and Kevin Johnson returning could actually make a difference. Johnson especially, as Tavier Thomas should NEVER be playing anything but special teams. He's literally that bad. I want to say he gave up a catch on 90% of his targets or something like that. Johnson will be a stratospheric upgrade, and Mack should help a little.

Mack was a 5th round pick rookie. Who knows what kind of jump he was about to make going into year 2.

What a pussy answer. you want it to be that simple but it fucking just isn’t. Part of my belief is that this general manager ,who you like to suck the dick of , has dropped the ball in talent acquisition on that side of things so Lick his scrotum if you must while the rest of us try to come up with answers.

Holy crap, are you channeling he who’s name is no longer in this forum ?

I know that, my point is, he's not tearing up the league since he left here. He was notorious for making the tackle 10+ yards downfield. He was not worth the contract he was demanding.
He was better than anything we had...

isn't he out of football now, haven't heard his name since he left the Browns.
He starts for the Jaguars He had 8 tackles last week with 1 TFL

And the Jags are a lot tougher than anyone thought this year: Won last week when they were not expected to. Lost in the last minute to the Tits....who could very well be Super Bowl contenders. They are not to be overlooked. Thought they may Tank for Trevor...but, alas, no it seems. Minshew has played lights out.

we are in a LB rebuild. These young guys need to step up their game.
First they need to heal. Hard for Phillips and Wilson to step up from the pinewood derby.?

Indeed Wilson and Phillips need to step up and hold on when they get healed:

If mack wilson makes a jump this year, it will be from 93rd all the way to 90th best LB who gets 300+ snaps. The mack wilson roller coaster.. is who he is.

Newton picked on.. Jamal Adams. He would not be "the solution" - and it's probably good we didn't blow our cap to sign him.
Speaking of changes to our defense, I'm fully on the "Start Porter Gustin" train.

It's definitely possible. I wouldn't expect it to happen, but you never know. Most 5th rounders don't end up starting in their second year, or at all really, so perhaps he's that rare diamond in the rough? The best things about Mack are his speed and his nose for the ball. When I went back through the Bengals game, one thing I noticed was our lack of speed in the middle of the field. Mack will certainly help with that.

He cannot be any worse than what we currently have

Didn’t blow our cap to sign him? The Browns have the most cap space in the league, and are projected to be no worse than 14th in space clear through 2024....
I think this is the most frustrating thing about this team for me. “Can’t sign Joe Schobert because he wants to much” so let him walk and replace him with NOBODY because we need that cap space. It’s been the same story for years.
Never sign Free Agents because you gotta build through the draft! So sit on all that money and leave massive holes in the roster and keep taking your “behind the wood shed” beatings year after year. Meanwhile you draft worse than Yahoo! Fantasy auto draft picker...
How about signing some middle of the road Vets to fill those Linebacker gaps with short term contracts so we don’t have to watch TakiTaki out there looking like someone’s little brother playing in a pickup game with the big kids.
