Problem is at that age you think you're immortal. LOL for you young 'uns- I remember way back Wilt Chamberlain got busted for driving some sort of souped up sports car in Kansas going around 140. That sort of stuff isn't restricted to just Javedon. as far as football players are concerned. Who can forget Knievel Winslow- or Marcus Bernard doing stupid stuff and paying for it?

Clevfan4life Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 if he's still there at 7....sign him!!! After watching how miserable our pass rush is this year, yeah absolutely take him. Only issue is whether he plays as the 5 tech DE like mugshot was..or we convert him to OLB. Discuss!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoeticG Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 Fastest I ever drove was 110 to El Paso Texas from Phoenix. Nothing but desert. Put it on cruise control at 100 MPH... then flew by a cruiser ducked down in the median. I had no license at the time, I had the passenger take the wheel and I dove into the back seat doing 100, LOL - I'll never forget that! Then the passenger hopped into the driver seat and I into the passenger seat. Amazing that by the time he caught up he was none the wiser. A speeding ticket and we were on our way...

PoeticG Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 "The passenger" sounds gay. Why is not "my friend" or "my ex"? My friend was in the backseat, it was his car. We were taking turns driving, we were giving "the passenger", was my friend's friend. We actually ran out of gas on the way back to Arizona and had to panhandle money in New Mexico for gas to get home... the things you do when you are young and dumb...

As it stands now where we're picking....he "might" be there. MN has to take a qb. So that leaves the skins, texans and falcons that potentially would take him.

Clevfan4life Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 but I think we can improve on our draft position...just takes a little sticktoitiveness, some gumption. We can't do anything stuipid like decide all of a sudden to win meaningless games. What has me potentially intrigued is if we can get to a pick where Clowney is there...we can shop him. Sheard's contract is up after this year and maybe he wants out, maybe he wants too much...afterall the guy on the other side is getting 8m to do approximately nothing more than he's doing. So Jabaal might be out after this year I dunno. If that's the case than maybe we should actually take Clowney. Or if the FO can dupe another team into taking Kruger...than take Clowney. If not, than at least we can bluff the league into thinking we'll take him. Teams like the Giants will absolutely come out of their pockets to jump up a few picks.

I thought Sheard was in the same draft class as Haden, so they still have next season with the Browns before their contracts are up? If Clowney is all they say he is, I'd love to have him here. I don't think it would look too good for the FO if they took two OLB's in the top 6 in back to back drafts, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westside Steve Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 Ya gotta remember the crazy shit we did when we were kids and how much crazier it would have been if wed had teachers passing us whether we could read or not, chicks throwing themselves at us and every guy in school kissing our ass since we were 14, not to mention in full knowledge that pretty soon somebody was going to handle us a stack of million dollar bills...

If the qb's we want our gone, there isn't a joe thomas can't miss o line prospect there....why would you not take him? I would trade Kruger if anyone was willing to take his 8m contract if it means signing CLowney. Or like I've been saying, we could dangle CLowney to the rest of the league.

Who wants to come out of their pockets? If the QB's that the Browns like are gone at their pick and Clowney is there, I'm all for trading back. Acquire a 2015 first rounder and work with BPA at the two later first rounders. It never hurts to have future assets, but we still can't pass up taking some players in this draft because it seems to be semi-deep in a lot of positions of need for us.

If the league calls our bluff that we won't take Clowney cause we already have OLB'ers....fuck it take him. Yeah we don't absolutely need another OLB'er but this kid "may" be a generational talent. I think Mingo would be broken down now if he had to start from day one...he's benefited tremendously from being able to play with Kruger and Sheard. Clowney could absolutely be part of that rotation. And maybe a few years down the road we trade one of those other guys if Clowney becomes a force you simply can't take off the field. One guy that I'm watching intently on another team is that german kid Werner from FSU. He's subbing behind Mathis right now. Beginning of the season he was getting noobed out hard just like Mingo was on the run support. I think in a year or two he's going to be one of the best OLB'ers in the NFL not in small part because he's subbing behind the best pass rusher in the NFL right now in Mathis.

Tour2ma Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 Or Clowney may be another College DE that cannot stand up and play OLB in a 3-4. I think he'll be a stud at DE in a 3-4, but can't see him as a 3-down, 3-4 OLB. I feel we really should have at least one, 3-down OLB on our team. I'd rather have UCLA's Barr and it has nothing to do with a speeding ticket. My personal best behind the wheel was 117 MPH on an Interstate in Wyoming on the way to Jackson Hole circa 1971, but was shotgun in a '68 Vette "rolling" up I-71 at 130-something. Tajh Boyd got pulled today for going 82 in a 60. Just proves that Boyd, even in a car, isn't as fast as Clowney. LOL... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's rated "very" high against the run isn't he? We know he can rush....sooooo how is he not a 3 down prospect? He's 6'6 around 250 right? That's not an NFL DE. He'll be around 270 before it's said and done and that's perfect for a hybrid. And he's absolutely fast enough and athletic enough to drop into coverage with anybody, if his technique is there I dunno. If Pgh could make it work with bubba dropping into coverage than we should certainly be able to find a way with Clowney who's way ahead of harrison in terms of speed and agility.
