Guest jparsh Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Nice. Now you have three guys that want to kick your ass. Do you like tailgates? Zombo Nope, but I'm going to be hoopin later at the Y on Detroit. Feel free to stop on up. I'm a white guy with some tats, I'll be in the gym. If you want in just tell them that you want to check the place out. Come on the court and ask for Jesse. I'll be there around 4 or so, probably til about 6 or 7. Stop on up pussy.

Guest jparsh Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Oh my God. It's Quinn-Anderson all over again. Really? There were people who thought either one of those guys were good? You guys are dumber than I thought. I knew from day one that both were garbage. I gave Quinn the benefit of the doubt because Weiss was so sold on him but Anderson was a no brainer garbage QB.

The kinfolk only let me fly up for the tailgates, that's why I'm asking. Unless, of course, it interferes with the Possum Fest that weekend.

I can't do anything for you if you're too big of a pussy to say something to someones face. I'm done, if you ever actually make your way up to Cleveland from that hell hole of Florida let me know.

VaporTrail Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 I'd rather get a feared linebacker EARLY in the draft. One that will make our LB's much more improved. I don't think that we need a DE early in the draft, I tend to think that Marcus Benard will be the piece that we need opposite Sheard. Marcus was a beast for us and getting better every game until his accident. The guy will improve the line when he comes back for us. I feel that drafting an OLB really high tends to not work out. I mean, yes, there is Clay3, but I think he's a rarity compared to guys like Von Miller and Aaron Curry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean, but have the Browns EVER drafted a Linebacker in the first since coming back in 99? I just want our version of a Clay Matthews, a Ray Lewis, a Patrick Willis... you know what I mean? I love DQ but he is not the above named, he is Good maybe even great, but with one of the above beside him I think DQ becomes ELITE... just sayin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoeticG Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Could Hightower or Burfict fit the mold of what we are looking for out of a LB or should we continue to wait for one, or should we look for another GoCong in FA?

I know it sounds like I'm bitching but I'm not really, just looking for solutions... We need a speedy linebacker to stop runningbacks from getting to the edge. Hightower isn't fast and Burfict has major character issues. Zach Brown is an OLB out of UNC that is projected to go in the first round and is a true 4-3 LB. He also is listed as having run a ridiculous 4.48 40 - which is wide receiver type speed at a linebacker position. I'm not really sure about any others..

The Gipper Posted January 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 I always suspected that Cleveland sports fans were the dumbest in the country, but this place proves it. You people are against picking a QB with great potential with the 4th pick but you people would rather have who? Blackmon? Richardson? Who? Who are we supposed to take in order to help the Browns win a super bowl? Do RB's win super Bowls? NO. Do WR's win super Bowls? No. Cleveland fans are by all measures some of the most astute, intelligent sports fans in the nation. Because of how bad our teams have been we have become more adept at analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of a sports team than most others. Fans of a winning team have nothing to do but say "rah, rah, we won". We have to be oh so much more critical and analytical. In terms of picking a QB with all this great potential that you claim he has, the fact is we have been there, done that and am wary of all these glowing reports about how great a top drafted player is. In the past 12 drafts, the Browns have had choices in the top 3 of the draft on 5 occasions....and we got a bust in Tim Couch, a bust in Courtney Brown, a bust in Gerard Warren, a bust in Braylon Edwards, and a hit in Joe Thomas. And at QB the Browns have gone for the franchise savior, Brady Quinn with their first round pick. Perhaps now you can figure out why Cleveland fans may be skeptical and wary of all these "can't miss" draft prospects at the top of the draft. Let's just say that they are "easily able to miss" draft prospects rather than can't miss prospects. So pardon us if we don't immediately kowtow to your way of thinking on any particular draft selection....be it a QB or otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the only thing about Burfict is that he has "character concerns", do we really want to pass on the guy? Wouldn't him coming onto a team with the standup DQ, Fujita and GoCong do wonders for his character? I've heard that he's a soft spoken, polite individual until he puts on the pads.... that's hardly "headcase material". Even if he is a headcase, isn't Ray Lewis? He was a mess until after his "murder" incident, and look at the beast Ray Lewis has been for the last decade... I'll take Burfict if that's his only downfall... would you?

PoeticG Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Unless we move DQ to OLB, Burfict won't have a place to play. What would be the pros and cons of moving Burfict to the outside, or even moving DQ to the outside? Would it make that much difference. Aren't all the pieces interchangeable in that on some plays you blitz the middle and on others the outside? Some plays are designed to run a man coverage with certain linebackers and in other run a zone? Could we not fit our Defense to incorporate both of these linebackers? Because if we could it would make our defense faster and more aggressive for sure. You know last year everyone expected us to take AJ Green or Julio Jones in the draft at 7... we didn't do what everyone thought we would. It was a draft day shocker and we wound up having one of the best drafts in recent memory. What if we were to select any two of Quinton Couples/Burfict/Zach Brown/Donta Hightower with our first two picks then Minnifeild with our 2nd rounder? Would that give us an ELITE DEFENSE? Of course that would entail selecting a promising young OL in the 3rd round(where we got Pinkston if I remember correctly), and addressing the Wide Receiver position in FA... It's just a thought... Heckert would approve I'm sure, as would Dick Jauron. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heckert would approve I'm sure, as would Dick Jauron. LOL The idea of bumping DQ to OLB has been tossed around a few. It all comes down to coverages, really. The best defense to bump a LB like DQ over in would be the 4-3. 4-3 LB's are asked to cover more than they are to blitz. They're more the traditional LB that comes to mind. As I posted earlier, I expect RG3 to fall to us and for us to trade back and acquire either an early second round pick along with another pick in next year's draft. We could conceivably go Alshon Jeffery, Zach Brown, Vinny Curry, and Andrew Datko. According to most mocks that I've seen, our picks would align perfectly to address our glaring needs: WR, OLB, DE, and OT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoeticG Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Vinny Curry and Andrew Datko I must admit that I don't know much about... is Vinny by chance a brother to Aaron Curry the linebacker? Outside of Jackson our linebacking core is the weakest position on the team, IMO even more so than say CB or WR. I like Maiava a lot, GoCong I don't see as having a much higher ceiling than from what we've seen from him already. We need a fast, strong, smart, hardhitting, ball-catching, TE covering monster of a Linebacker in a Cleveland Browns Helmet next season! Somebody that runningbacks cringe and run away from, someone who cracks heads and asks questions later... A bigger, on HGH and Steroids with dangerously high levels of testosterone- T.J. Ward...@ Linebacker. I sure wish we would have pulled the trigger on D. Bowers to go opposite Jabaal Sheard last draft... I heard he's beasted out now... figures...

It would be a position that we wouldn't have to focus on this year which would open another position of need to be filled, is all. I've gotta be honest, I'm not incredibly impressed with the talent coming out in the draft this year, anyone else feel that way? I would say that in relation to recent drafts. There are a few STELLAR players that I would be happy with, no doubt. Just overall, I feel like this isn't the deepest strongest draft in recent memory at least in the first round...

Guest jparsh Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Richardson is garbage. Anyone can look good in the highlight film. I can't think of one thing except that late 4th quarter run that he did well in the national championship game. RB's are a dime a dozen, pick up an undrafted free agent or grab a RB in the 7th round and we'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
