Whos running your college and pro scouting all fall? Who is is managing your salary cap? Or or are you saving all that for after the super bowl?

If we kept marrone I imagine it would’ve gone this way. He might’ve suited up at RG too.

Ultimately, I think you can make a case to a player if you think they will be more impactful at the new position. ”we think LG is your real calling and you will be elite there” plays better then “if it’s all the same to you, we’d like to kick you inside since we have a decent backup tackle and you can probably fill a hole elsewhere”

Or that Dawkins is a pretty decent player at a tough position and when you have a multi year starter like that it’s their job to lose

I saw some comments on it along the way but took it with a grain of salt as he didn’t even hit puberty til his sophomore year and comments like that often get hung on guys the are younger but highly athletic. It’s often hard to tell at that level who is taking calculated risks knowing they are playing on another level and who just isn’t making great reads and get away with it that said, he definitely has to work on being a technician and his athleticism did probably let him get by in some spots in HS and college

If I recall correct, I think weo is often in the boat of random offseason workouts only being so valuable and everyone being dramatic about it

Nor would it be a big deal if they skipped a meeting and workout

He turned down many head coaching opportunities to be the Browns DC ?

Photos in a rainy apple orchard Or the events, while nice to have, simply aren’t as drastically important as sometimes made out to be

I think the intention always has to be brown number 1, but not likely a commanding one

I believe he ended the season with an injury, right? Not ideal, but stuff like that, especially heading into an offseason, can sometimes be larger setbacks for big dudes. He’s got a good bit of time to get in shape and knows the system, which works in his favor. Or he could be a lazy schmuck that celebrated getting his $3m too hard

Easy for the big boss to cause issues. Even unintentionally if you talk about a coach or player it can quickly cause a divide if you aren’t smart/measured in comments

If you throw out the 1 season that was a complete wash, his average games played hasn’t been drastically different between the clubs. While I think training for another sport isn’t ideal, I don’t know if it’s as drastic as some portray. A better qb, not returning kicks, etc... can all be factors to his productivity

You may not like him but I think the word average is a bit much here We will see. Part of that might’ve been having a qb and offensive scheme that worked.

Pairing that statement with last years talent level is a real head banger

I’d venture the guess that BB does that page better

I like that the “#1 key thing to win” is three bullet points with subsections... including we must know we can win as the top thing ?‍♂️ while they might be smart X and O football guys, dumb stuff like that really makes me question how well they actually could run organizations.

These guys passed on josh Norman in Carolina- but wasn’t their final decision and not the same player. I think they keep tre but they’ve let a top cb walk recently. likewise let Gilmore walk.

Ill admit, it wasn’t an aggressive endorsement of him as much as the acknowledgment that Beasley certainly shouldn’t be #1, brown hasn’t reliably proven to be that guy and foster is a huge wildcard. As a generally well rounded guy that led the unit in snaps last year.... even if unspectacular the depth chart could easily be zay, brown, Beasley, Foster.... or darn near 100% the opposite without zay playing substantially different

Zay could still end up our number 1, honestly.

Essentially 3 years guaranteed here... and at absolute minimum even with injury this year you are paying him for 2-3 years quite simply put- they’d pay him lots of this even in a bad scenario with another partial season, barring horrific career ending injury. Doing it now might actually get them out earlier if needed when compared to giving him a similar deal next year anyway

So a few gut reactions the killer next door was always a quiet neighbor, the gang member in the drug war is often described as getting ready to go back to school etc... point being, people often err on the side of positivity when you put a mic in front of them about someone they know going off the rails i do think that the differential in volume of attacks is in part perception due to a combo of eager coverage, terrible breed ID (so many breeds get lumped in by news) and the fact that a golden or such nips a 3 year old and you get a cut or two but a Pitt on the same level of aggression can wreck someone. ive owned one that was a great dog and trust it as much if not more than any dog I’ve had.... but I see them at the dog park and I do go the other way as all it takes is catching the wrong one once and the damage is huge I almost used the analogy to “assault style weapons” being subject to similar reporting errors (a million types lumped, makes for a good headline) and the devastation possible in the wrong hands compared to a chihuahua/bb gun.

Well, I meant he can drop into zones, or occupy multiple blockers and anything in between. honestly, a lot of people will think this is a knock but it’d be shades of Mario. Just a big hulking athletic dude that doesn’t need to sell out on a pass rush to be impactful rushing. But can also drop in space too. What is funny though is I’ve never been around folks that care more about a RB pass blocking or wr run blocking but post Rex it’s almost bannable to say clowney can also hang in coverage

Someone mentioned dline id venture more than a few years we were pretty highly ranked at cb

For all you know, whatever he’s doing is more impactful than attending and he could be doing a ton all offseason. To assume he’s doing the bare minimum because he missed some voluntary practices is a jump. Perhaps fair but easily could be inaccurate
