The salary dumps continue. First Landry, now Tretter. But we're willing to overpay Njoku? Does not compute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SdBacker80 Posted March 15, 2022 Report Share Posted March 15, 2022 We paid our Guards now we can’t pay our Center. We knew this was coming. If Wills can live up to his draft status he should anchor this group and we will be okay. Don’t worry when we don’t have to pay Baker 30M-35M we will be back to keeping guys like Tretter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riffer X Posted March 15, 2022 Report Share Posted March 15, 2022 I like Harris, especially in the second level along with his ability to read and execute assignments. Only concern is point of attack strength and size limitations in short yardage. Rats and Puke always seem to have bullish 3/4 NTs that cause size mismatches. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffer X Posted March 15, 2022 Report Share Posted March 15, 2022 A look at Nick's one start last year -- which he mainly went up against Kenny Clark btw. 2020 was when we had no guards left and he was thrown into the fire as a rookie.

Um, he my be cleared on the criminal end Woody, but there's still a ton of civil lawsuits he has to resolve. If he's got the $$ to pay the ladies off, then no problem. However there's still the NFL Personal Conduct Policy besides. Plus, since the Browns didn't make a serious pitch for the much cheaper Mitch Trubisky- tells me we're not going to be in the market to spend $35 million on Watson.

Orion Posted March 15, 2022 Report Share Posted March 15, 2022 We knew that Harris was drafted as Tretter's replacement. Right? And we know that teams don't really like having the Pres of the players union on their team. That said, Tretter is a great guy, a great guy in the locker room and a really good player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't need another questionable morals guy on the team. And a guy who's pouting his way out of Houston. Following up on what tia has been posting for months with those screen shots... Take this as a vote of no confidence in Baker. Wonder what the Texans are asking. I doubt it's less than what the Seahawks got for Wilson. In that event.. no thanks.

Best Browns free agent signing since they came back in '99? I'm sure I'm forgetting someone, but struggling to think of someone who the Browns signed that was better than Tretter was. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have similar takes on Harris but that strength and size thing is a biggie for me at the center position. Sometimes you just gotta be a wall and Harris ain’t the kinda wall l would hang a Picasso on. Maybe a Motley Crue poster. But not a framed Motley Crue poster.

Well sure, but they still aren’t gonna hang them on Nick Harris. I did see Vince Neil earlier this year. His drummer is a guy named Zoltan Chaney. The wildest and most entertaining drummer l’ve ever seen. Here’s a short youtube clip in some other language on the guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone really frame Motley Crue posters? I get it, but the argument can be made that being able to kick out and block several guys on one play in this offense is crucial. We don't always run ZBS schematically, but those slow developing designs where Chubb or Hunt (or DJ-Felton) look for the off-tackle cutback take time. One small contact on a backer or box safety on the backside can be the difference between a big gain or not. Tretter was a top 6 caliber center for years and a smart guy, so it may be a bit of a step back. I think we can do worse than Harris and have, but wouldn't be surprised if we draft one as well. Dunn also seems like a viable candidate to press Nick and/or be a swing man. Harris is also better than average in pass pro and communicates well, imo. Like I mentioned earlier, too many folks went by him getting thrust in at guard in 2020 when we had nobody left. He is a pure center all the way and I kind of like that. As to your Crue take, now I am all confused. Definitely one of the staples of my youth and a band I still crank out a few times a year. Speaking of which, going to give Shout at the Devil a listen before my upcoming meeting. I can't stand Tommy Lee anymore though, way to woke for my britches. And are they the worst of the "used to be good" bands? Anything released by them post 80s was cringeworthy -- Mick ran out of riffs! The only other bands that compete with 'good to suck' is maybe Def Leppard and Aerosmith. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
