Allen asking for Brown and Bease is not a good sign for Davis and McKenzie. Davis is cheap, but they must bring another guy to provide legitimate competition for that role.
Defense
Groot - Draft (his backup, draft)
Oliver - Draft
Davis - FA
Miller - FA (his backup, draft)
White - Draft
Elam - Draft
Johnson - Draft
Hyde - FA
Poyer - FA
Milano - Draft
Edmunds - Draft
7 of 11 we’re drafted
Let’s see:
Allen - Draft
Singletary/Cook - draft
Gilliam - Draft (UDFA)
Knox - Draft
Diggs - Trade
Davis - Draft
Dawkins - Draft
Bates - Trade (for nothing)
Morse - FA
Staffold - FA
Brown - Draft
7 if our 11 are drafts, only one is a first rounder.
31 teams will fail this year. If a fans view of this team is just of if they win a SB, they are missing something special.
This team is really good, we’ve been waiting for this for a while. There is so much that goes into winning a Championship, and luck is one of the key components.
I would agree. Run blocking was improved, or at least production was.
Age hit Saffold HARD, and Browns lack of off-season hurt in the long run. I have no issues with the performances of Dawkins, Bates, or Morse. They are good and can be great.
This “Diggs is mad because he wasn’t getting the ball” is obnoxious. Diggs was mad because the offense wasn’t performing.
Source?
Diggs.
I don’t think 2 less targets a game is a sign of anything, other than maybe the coaches putting him on a pitch count to keep him healthy.
I still think Dawkins can play 4 spots on the OL and could be an All Pro inside.
Ed Oliver in the right system.
Tremaine Edmunds will likely be voted one at some point as well (Dude isn’t even 25 yet).
Big Groot has potential
Stafford clearly looked out of gas, I cannot recall who else looked exhausted. Bills had 3 practice squad players playing key roles that night as well.
