cambridgeho Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/06/02/browns-sign-cornerback-aaron-berry/ Looks like they may move Desir to FS after this move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gipper Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Wasn't he a very high draft pick a few years ago? First rounder I think. So, maybe he has talent...but needs direction, and hopefully Pettine can give him that. What I think this signing says is that Pettine does not think highly of Leon McFadden.

No. You are thinking of Eric Berry with KC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tml1138 Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Says he's been in trouble and has talent, but Lions cut him anyways due to the problems he's had. Apparently Pettine thinks he can fix that. Will be some nice depth at this position if so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tour2ma Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Not exactly up to the character standards of our prior FAs and draft... but then appears he only has trouble with a legal substance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenew23 Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Just adding to the competetion. Will be a tough fight to make the team in our secondary, which surprisingly was a weakness of ours just last season... Top to bottom, this is the deepest offseason roster I've ever seen the Browns have... there will be some fierce competetion to make the 53-man come training camp and preseason. Should be good for the team... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its looking good on paper so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year, they were some of our biggest needs. Its looking good on paper so far. The Texans looked great on paper last year when people were picking them to make the Super Bowl but we all know how that turned out. I agree, though. It looks better than past years.

bleednbrown Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Don't know much about this guy. He's been in some trouble but of course like anyone else says it's behind him. Guess we'll see. If the staff likes him then I guess it's worth while. It sounds like they are looking at him more for special teams then anything else. Would post a link, but I guess I don't know how. any help would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bleednbrown Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 DB, but I'm not sure if it's CB or S. I think CB, because the staff said he was better in man coverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Couch Pulls Out Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Desir at FS is very intriguing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miktoxic Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Desir at FS is very intriguing. he's definitely got the size and build. wouldn't you know it though, as soon as we get 'hard' at safety the league turns into a no-hit league. i want to see these guys knock someone the F out.

ballpeen Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 I think his skill set keeps him at corner. Corner is the skill position of the D. If he can play it, you keep him there. You only move guys from corner to safety if they can't play the position all that well. Unless you get to having 4 really good corners, you don't switch them to get them on the field. All teams can sport 3 really good cornerbacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canton Mike Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 Just adding to the competetion.

Top to bottom, this is the deepest offseason roster I've ever seen the Browns have... there will be some fierce competetion to make the 53-man come training camp and preseason. Should be good for the team... I agree. Who would have thought that, going into free agency & the draft, we would have turned around the weak areas of RB & DB? In addition, we now seemingly have solid depth at QB. I actually see some decent players taking the field in our final exhibition game this year......Gonna be fun!

ballpeen Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 I think you better write off Josh. He is about 5-6 "mistakes" in at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twizbuck Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 He had a lot of promise. If he can pan out, it gives the Browns incredible depth. I don't know if it pushes Desir to Safety or not, but if Berry plays well he'll probably take snaps there along with Poyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
