great article, read it yesterday....some posters on this board will have their eyes opened in regards to Browns coverage ability - which ive been praising since midway through last season. He had a rough game against San Diego in coverage and that seemed to be all that people would remember. Hes an all around SOLID linebacker who COULD be a pro bowler for years in the middle of this defense We do need depth across the board at LB though in case someone gets Kiko'd

I dont have any kids, so I have plenty of money to throw around at good beer : )

here comes a "oh great, beer snobs" type post.... yes, I/We enjoy delicious beer that is complex and delicious and can be enjoyed in various ways and if you are a fan of your beer flavored water (thanks Joe) , by all means, crush those beers man!

im sure hes talking about sh!tty beer like Bud Light

oh man....good for you, I have plenty of suggestions for you about all things brewery tour/beer in general related...dont hesitate to ask : )

if you havent done it, and get a chance, go to the Harpoon Brewery, very cool place, excellent spent grain pretzels with crazy dipping sauces....and of course, brewery release only beers!

we were also planning on doing the Washington game this year, but im not going to risk december travel or sit outside in december for an away game... would love to do the Tennessee game as Nashville is one of my fave places...but I dont think its going to work for us....but I would recommend that game/city for people who can (that weekend is also Oktoberfest in Nashville) - and if you go to Nashville be sure to go to Yazoo Brewery

The kid is in Boston with HARPOON brewery, and drinking bud light (fixed that for ya - although I do enjoy a Sam Summer or Rebel Rouser IPA now and again)

You could pretty much wipe out year 1 impact - might have him healthy and ready to play by November, but he would need to get in "game shape"....but that said, I just might!! Haha There is a difference between "dropping out of the first" and dropping all the way down to 50 though....and I'm not interested in a trade up

Then we would still be above them.....

This! For the first year in a while, rookies will have a hard time making this team let alone being an immediate contributor. With that said, a guy like shaq could contribute in a big way right away. A guard/OT would be a nice fit but realistically could they crack the starting five? Not that our five is all world, but we have seen rookie linemen struggle not just here but around the league (there are certainly exceptions). I hope for an impact player at 50 - but anyway you slice it we are in the best position roster wise than we have been in a longgggggggg time

Is Henderson a better fit for LT instead of RT? Either way, if he's lined up at one of the spots, I can imagine there will be LOTS of chips to the edge rushers outside shoulder to allow for Henderson to better get his hands on the defender, something that he struggled with towards the end of last year (guys were giving double moves, and getting around him to the outside) The whole o-line is still a work in progress (the whole point of what Whaley was saying) - and we won't know what the five is until the start of camp That said, I'm expecting a better performance out of the group based on the new coaching staff compared to the old staff alone And lastly: enough of everyone speculating we could see Mario restructure this offseason to make way to a Mathis/Evans trade....we reeaaallllyyyyy need that restructure to happen next year so we can avoid cap nightmare/signing all of our FAs

thinking of picking up a new habit....smoking is intriguing... someone talk me into it!

THIS, time a million you dont bite the hand that feeds you (thats why no real change occurs in Washington, money trumps politics/money drives politics)

and only about 5-7 of them worth signing will take money....one of which, Dareus, is already coutning 8 million against the cap this year, so his contract will probably require about 5 million more in salary for the next season....its not unfathomable... Glenn, if he has a great year, will command top dollar...same goes for Gilmore...we have the room for both (especially with Mario restructure next offseason)... And the icing on the cake is, the cap continues to rise....we have the money, we will keep our players

He's referring to ESPN

im glad hes not going to the Pats

Bummer - I'm already in Saratoga, made the trip just for this meet up....bet you feel bad now gugny

He may also be both of those things but he is certainly one of the Okayiest I've seen as well

Maybe not the okayiest - but belongs in the discussion - Kerry Collins

Come on penguins - lose this freaking game tonight! You can do it....you can do it.....

how has no one responded to this post, hahaha perfect

didnt you know Richie bullied everyone in Miami, thats probably why Clay is hesitant to sign but for realz, Its pro sports, 90 percent about the money, 10 percent about playing where you want/with who you want (at least on first big contracts...after a player gets paid they are more willing to "take less for the right situation"... now if that difference is an average of 7 million here, and 8 million average in Cleveland...would seem like a no brainer for Clay to bring his talents to Orchard Park

channel 4? that bum squad? why would you watch anything other than channel 2 (obviously just for fat Kevin O'Connell or whatever that pudgy bastard weathermans name is)

I have been anti-clay on here for the past few days, and quite vocal about it (to the point of annoying others im sure) with that said, im kind of coming around on him....my biggest points were that, as stated by the OP (although I have watched him quite a bit - Clay, not the OP, thats creepy), he does not overwhelm with size, speed or stats...but he really does seem to do a lot of things very well, and im starting to think could do things even better in a better offense The biggest draw, and why im starting to change my view on signing on him, is what he brings to our potential offense. When he is on the field we can be more successful at hiding what we want to do in both the run and the pass game, he can move from the backfield to the line and vice versa, he can hit the flats, go routes, stay in pass pro and then even slide underneath, screen passes, as well as be a traditional TE....basically, he can bring an element that we have not had as an offense in a long time AND a weapon that Roman has proven he can effectively succeed with I kind of think I want him now?
