In his explanation, he did say that if they had no confidence in the player and they didnt think he could do the job, then he wouldnt even have made the roster...... Of course, at that moment, I was praying someone would ask him about Austin Corbett......hahaha.....

I had a racquet ball partner(and competitor) who always smashed his racquet when he screwed up(which was often)......we were always waiting for him to go up to the front desk and buy another one.....tick tick tick..... Ive told him to just buy in bulk and bring em all with you......at least we wouldnt be losing time waiting for the next purchase......

Heck...Id do a first & "something else" to get a good talent....ala a 5th or another lesser player.....especially if he's versatile enough to move around. Hadnt thought of safety as an option for him......adds to the intrigue....

Word is that the price is 2 firsts..... While Ramsey is a nice player, we presumably have 2 up and coming nice players........if were gonna spend big, lets go for a position of true need......Tackle or Guard anyone?

Nope....just dont see any evidence that is the case here..... Not like doing a few commercials hurt Manning or Montanas games.....lets talk about this in 3 years, when he's making movies or something....not after his first handful of gigs...

And you think his # of endorsements directly effects his play? Thats a reach.....

Browns better get creative on offense(fast), cuz the Rams D-line will have a field day if Baker is trying to sit back there like he has the 1st 2 games...we need quick hitting passes and lots o Nick Chubb......

another newcomer, the scottish hammer, has started well too......was just named ST player of the week.... https://www.clevelandbrowns.com/news/jamie-gillan-named-afc-special-teams-player-of-the-week

Here's what I like about Myles right now.....and I know the penalties are bad(baaaad myles, baaaad).....but I love him creaming these guys.....relentless......and here are the reasons why... 1) I was concerned he could be a lil soft, w/o killer instincts.... 2) I didnt know, for sure, that he REALLY wanted to be great and put in the effort.... 3) With his intellect, I had concerns how much he wnated or needed football.... And now I see he aint soft....he's giving 110% effort....he wants it baaaad......and he is striking fear into opposing QB's and teams in general....and the fouls just add to the fear factor.....Im all in 100%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Definitely need to step up the running game and utilize Chubb better......the whole flow to the offense has been very disjointed... the limited running plays weve seen have not been properly set up either.....not so sure its an issue with the line, as much as the flow and predictability of the plays....Freddie and Baker both need to settle down and develop some chemistry(and patience)....

The following Browns will be inactive for tonight's game against the Jets. S Damarious Randall RB Dontrell Hilliard DE Genard Avery LB Adarius Taylor C Austin Corbett T Kendall Lamm WR Rashard Higgins Sorry to see Higgins out.....Corbett still inactive, even after last weeks OL debacle.......oh man, he must be worse than we even imagined(and I imagined pretty bad).....hope thats the right decision, knowing Lamm is out and how we could have used the extra OL last week....

Well, Id never wish an injury on anyone.....stoolers included.....but, sure, Id rather not play Ben..... Ben.....See ya, wouldnt wanna be ya.....

Agreed....that giant egg they laid sure shut everyone up....and fast....... Righto.....I was stunned at how terrible they looked.....Expect a complete turnaround this week..... But, if they play the same.....then all bets are off.....I think the season could spiral out of control and be a massive disappointment... That O line better come to play .......

Thats how it shouldve been all along.....IR is a good way to not waste a roster spot..

Screw the media....its a win win if we win..cause a win is a win is a win..... Besides...they're more worried about what Odell will be wearing then if we actually win......

Loved Cribbs, but agree he has no chance at the HOF...... I think that a HOFer should at least be considered a full time player and starter....exceptions, maybe, being kickers......But Id be agreeable to creating a HOF category that includes specialists(elect 1 per years)....kickers, punters, returners, 3rd down backs, gunners, etc.....

A little pre-game posturing perhaps?......Telling the Titans I cant run full speed, then ripping the top off their defense? He does practice everyday -full speed - so Im not really sweating this one.....

The Browns pulled their offer off the table because Schwartz talked to another team. And Schwartz did in fact come back to the Browns to accept the offer, but was told "too late" by Sashi....... Possibly the worst free agency day by any team ever.....Browns couldnt retain their players(Mack, Schwartz, Benjiman, Gipson) and signed no one...... One of Sashis many screwed up deals....or non-deals...depending on how you look at it....

Yep....love how he looks so far...... Not too often that you'll feel excitement when a reserve comes in....but this guys gonna make that happen//////

What two teams play in the Super Bowl? Who wins? chargers and seahawks........Rivers finally gets his......

So, Ill just revisist this comment, as it has played out exactly......Corbett was just replaced with a 6th round pick that has only played 8 games and graded out as "fair", at best..... We should just agree that he is terrible and the Browns dont see enough there to give him the "time" to get better..... Hey....someday he might be good....perhaps.....but it will most likely be on some other team that isnt looking to win "NOW" Oh....and Ill add I did imply I thought he came off like a pussy....has nothing to do with his meeting expectations and everything to do with how he acts and plays......(personally, I did not have high expectations for this one)(and he met my expectations exactly)

Unless Joseph goes 4 for 4 next week....then what?

We didnt let him go.....he was simply an unrestricted free agent and chose to sign elsewhere.... My memory is that we were trying to resign him, but then traded for OBJ, which prompted him to not sign here and, instead, look elsewhere(where he'd get a chance to start and probably a better contract)....

Right....he could get better or he could be a bust.....I think everyone gets that and can agree to a point. I see the examples you gave of both and my one argument would be that those other guys could at least get on the field.....most high picks(1st & 2nds for sure) get the benefit of the doubt and will get playing time to see where they are....in the case of Corbett, the fact that he cant even get a starting nod(when we have NO decent alternative) tells me he's pretty bad......Id say an average or even below average guy might get the start in this situation(no good alternate) .....but not so with Corbett.... So....until I hear(and see) otherwise, I have to assume he looks "terrible" to our coaching staff..... How many guys on your list were so bad they were not even given a chance as a starter in their first 2 years.....any?
