  1. All parties said it was fair and clean. I have to wonder why the NFL is looking at it so closely, they obviously feel otherwise. He was blocked down to the ground and then lunged at the Palmer's legs. He was trying to make a play not injure anyone. The momentum of the block did not take him into the QB's legs.

  2. Moulds was the more productive player last season and we give more? No way to this years third, that is dumb. GB takes Moulds and the 77th pick and a pick next year for Walker coming off an injury, and a fifth? No thanks.

     

    Negotiate that to Moulds and a day two pick for Walker and a later day 2 pick.

  3. Some progress can be made by subtraction. I believe losing Mike Williams will be a plus.

     

    If Takeo can come back healthy and return to his impact status, the whole D will be better. Big if, see Cowart and Julian Peterson.

     

    The team can run to the edge better if Royal can seal the outside. Nuefield is a lousy blocker.

     

    Seems like we may go young at OG if a draft pick starts there rather than Benny. Marv never was big on starting rookies though he did give Henry Jones and Ruben Brown starting jobs.

  4. My reason: Lack of starting players who have accomplished achievement.

     

    For instance;

     

    Craig Nall- never started an NFL game

    Lee Evans - never been #1 receiver on NFL level

    Melvin Fowler - never started for a 16 game season

    Jason Peters - never started for a 16 game season

    Matt Bowen- always been a backup, likely a starter

    Benny Anderson - still a starter

    Tim Anderson- if team was sold why the push for Pickett

    Troy Vincent - was weak last year, still starting

    Takeo Spikes- leader of team coming off injury that others struggle to come back from

     

     

    Not doom and gloom, just a look at the personnel. It's obvious Marv wants younger team to grow together even if we take some losses next year. His Super Bowl teams were built around a core of guys drafted early who grew in the league together, would not surprise me if this was his goal.

  5. I think he would be excellant at LT. He has good feet, long arms and a nasty attitude. I always loved watching him mow over peole on special teams. Wonderlic scores are more important for QB's than OT's. Can he get a push or not? The guy is a talent. I bet Teague had a great wonderlic score as he got pushed backwards into the QB the last 3 years.

  6. Started a few before transferring. Chose LSU over Florida and ND so he must of had some talent.

     

    Started two games, including the 1999 season opener, in three seasons at LSU … Career stats were 431 yards passing on 35 of 79 accuracy with four interceptions in 14 games … Played eight games as the No. 2 quarterback behind Herb Tyler in 1998, including starting the season finale vs. Arkansas (15 of 30 for 1 TD and 147 yards) after a strong performance in relief in a narrow loss at Notre Dame (4 of 9 for 70 yards) … The steadiest performer in a three-way preseason competition also involving Josh Booty and Rohan Davey, Nall started the '99 opener against San Jose State (6-15-2, 79 yards), played quarterback in another game … Volunteered to move to receiver when injuries depleted that position, and he played in four games there during his sophomore season … Played in one game in 2000 and missed last six games with a broken thumb … Redshirted in 1997.

  7. Send them a fifth Marv

     

     

    The Browns have given center Jeff Faine's agent permission to seek a trade for the 2003 first-round pick, an NFL source said Monday.

     

    The Browns also finalized the trade of safety Chris Crocker to Atlanta for the Falcons' fourth-round pick in next month's draft and announced the official signing of former Ravens tight end Darnell Dinkins.

     

    Faine (6-3, 291) became expendable last week when the Browns signed former Saints center/guard LeCharles Bentley as a free agent.

     

    If the Browns can trade Faine, Bentley will start at center. If they can't trade him, Bentley, a two-time Pro Bowler, most likely will move to guard, and Faine will be the center. The Browns have explored moving Faine to guard, but that move is unlikely because they like bigger guards. Faine, who started 14 games last season before being placed on injured reserve with a torn right biceps, has been out of town and unavailable for comment.
