mjp28 Posted May 1, 2022 Report Share Posted May 1, 2022 Amazing what professional training facilities can do to bring out the potential of a player's physical ability. The rest is the book studies and desire to make the team versus a group of other candidates who want the job. A few will make it, the rest go other team's camps or home. Professional sports at it's entry level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasAg1969 Posted May 1, 2022 Report Share Posted May 1, 2022 This is the guy I have chosen to follow as a rookie this year in the slot, especially since I have been assured by a credible Browns fan that Landry is history.

Ibleedbrown Posted May 2, 2022 Report Share Posted May 2, 2022 I googled Mormons Vs. Mullets, and that’s apparently a thing. Like there’s a bunch of shirts. And it begs some weird questions. Are mormon’s not allowed to have mullets? And what deity gave dish ware to the first guy with a mullet? Any mormons or mullets on here who can answer? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just an FYI.. I may not be a Mormon, but I do know a fair amount of their history, how & why they wound up in Utah. Upstate New York, to Kirtland, Ohio... Then Nauvoo, Illinois. They were rather unpopular there with the (non Mormon) local citizenry.. Seems they (The Mormons) burned the local newspaper office to the ground after the Editor had some unflattering comments to say about Joseph Smith. The "Prophet", and God Emperor of Nauvoo. (He declared the newspaper to be a nuisance, and had it abated) The only reason Brigham Young didn't get killed along with the Mormon hierarchy was he was out of town when the ensuing nasty mob took a fair number of them out. Heading West seemed like a pretty good option after that. FWIW, my brother in law lived directly across the Mississippi River in Keokuk, Iowa opposite Nauvoo for years, so I had the opportunity to learn a little of the local history. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vambo Posted May 5, 2022 Report Share Posted May 5, 2022 Browns sign former Texas Tech basketball player Marcus Santos-Silva to play tight end https://www.nfl.com/news/browns-sign-former-texas-tech-basketball-player-marcus-santos-silva-to-play-tigh A former All-Big 12 honorable mention selection is heading to the Cleveland Browns. A former All-Big 12 standout in basketball, that is. The Browns announced Monday they have signed Marcus Santos-Silva, who played basketball at Texas Tech the past two seasons. Santos-Silva, listed at 6-foot-7, 250 pounds on the Texas Tech website, will go from playing forward to tight end. He's coming off a super senior season in which who averaged 4.7 points and 4.1 rebounds per game. A season prior, Santos-Silva tallied 8.3 points per game and a team-leading 6.4 rebounds and 1.1 blocks per game. The Browns' tight end room already includes incumbent starter David Njoku and Harrison Bryant, among others, but head coach Kevin Stefanski is a huge proponent of two-tight end sets. Switching a big-bodied basketball player into a tight end isn't new in the NFL, with the most well-known being Tony Gonzalez and Antonio Gates. While Gonzalez played basketball and football in college, Gates did not. Cleveland is hoping Santos-Silva will make a productive switch. So too are the Jacksonville Jaguars, who invited former Clemson basketball player Naz Bohannon to their rookie minicamp, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported. From the hardwood to the gridiron they go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unsympathetic Posted May 5, 2022 Report Share Posted May 5, 2022 More on Santos-Silva -- One of the Browns FO guys had played basketball at the AAU level and so combined his own knowledge of what skills translate to the NFL with hours of watching clips of this guy.. Good to see them willing to spend the time for bottom-of-roster churn because good reps are hard to find! And he dropped no passes during his workout with the coaching staff.. we've paid millions to WR's that couldn't "accomplish" that from a jugs machine.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unsympathetic Posted May 6, 2022 Report Share Posted May 6, 2022 Massive summary of each of our UDFA's -- Substantial links and stats and somehow video on every UDFA. They got some good ones.. Don't be surprised when: Isaiah Weston and his 9.99 RAS beats out Woods for the WR5 even though he's a 25yo rookie. Shaun Jolly, 2019 First Team All-American and PFF #1 rated CB, makes the roster as the 10th DB. Glen Logan, the LSU DT next to Farrell this past season, earns game reps from the PS after an injury at some point this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I read about 'rebound abilities' the first thing I think of when it comes to any big target is both body control and positioning throughout their route(s). Jason Witten was the man when it came to using his larger frame to box out LB's and DB's. It's something of a lost art that has given way to ultra athletic ability at the TE spot.

Hey nickers my one brother lived in Chesterland but moved to Kirtland where they live in now. They like the area but might sell their remodeled ~105 year old house and move a short distance away. Like it up there ? Kirtland had a good high school football team too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
