Keenum could easily fetch a 4th rounder from probably several teams...unless the Browns want him back, then it's a 2nd or no deal.

While I've never been a fan of Ford, WGR certainly praised him after the game yesterday. I admit I didn't zero in on him but one play did stand out...the totally needless hands to the face penalty which I believe was on 3rd down when we were in FG range. Still not a fan.

That goes on McFrazier . Playing the nickel religiously cost us those wins. They didn't stop those runs until they let Milano loose. Taron Johnson cannot handle those bigger backs and the Hoodie saw that. If they had went 4-3 with Klein after say...20 straight runs, maybe it's a different story. IMO Frazier is old school and unwilling/capable of game planning on a weekly basis against different teams. Maybe this year will be different, IDK, but there will be teams that will try that M.O. this year and the only way to counter that is a 4-3....and LB blitzes...ie. Milano near the end of those 2 games. Every team will be looking to keep josh off the field and control T.O.P. I'm betting next year it's Milano, Bernard and Spector, not counting a free agent or draft pick. Edmunds should be turned into picks before Halloween.

Wow, very well done. I would like to stay away from SB or bust if I may. I also haven't heard the latest on Wilson. If he were healthy going in, I would be looking to the 3 teams cannibalizing this season giving the division to us. Can't expect us to go 6-0.

I think he's gonna be another Gabe.

Maybe he was too far down the pecking order to get a lot of looks thru camp. I just don't see O.J. either staying healthy or making an impact, I hope I'm wrong. I also had hopes for Sweeney, I guess we'll see for sure this year which way his trajectory will go. I believe he will have a chance at some point. I hope he gets the bulk of TE duty during one of these pre season games.

I'll have to look him up.

IDK there's something about this guy after reading all the scouting crap that just gives me the gut feeling. I wish i could provide an NFL comparison.

Doesn't mean they won't put him on the P.S

I think Wydemeyer(sp)? will be placed on p.s ...and I think by the end of the year, he'll replace a worn out Howard and make a huge. smooth. lumbering target fo JA

S sorry, got bounced around with the site.

I like Bryant. I think he can make big plays when needed. I also like Love, but I sadly think he's going back to the P.S. I think Shaq may be the odd man out.

Edit Don't get me wrong I hope he becomes Defensive MVP runner up to Von, but after 49 yrs. of being a fan, and after 4 yrs. of the ole eyeball test, I'm not gonna bet on it.

Well to me he's way more valuable than Edmunds whose making almost 13 this year. Unless Tre has a great year, there's no way they, IMO would consider....or should consider over 15...and I wouldn't offer that. That may be a decision better made sooner than later, however I would doubt anything will happen anytime soon.

Isn't Milano under contract for the next couple of years? Didn't we already extend him?

Because I want to see more creativity resulting in more sacks and TFL's?.....I plead guilty. If this line looks like Mario, Marcel, Kyle and Jerry, ya won't hear a peep out of me, but sadly trends change on a yearly basis. We will be sending 4 against 5 Oline , 2 TE's and a back. It's gonna be a matter of simple math a majority of the time....just like always.

Well in that 1st K.C. game he was on national media saying he was gonna rely on rushing 4. He got away with it because at that point the Chiefs were sucking....and in the national media after was touted and taking credit for being a genius. That playoff game showcased his stubbornness. Mahomes goes left and dumps it, Mahomes goes right and dumps it. Frazier should have fired himself after that game..... and while I'm at it, Maine looked like a lost rookie. Here's to hoping Mcd is laying some ground work to run some 4-3 and different looks when he needs to like press man and sending a backer on every play. Nickel is gonna get old and it's gonna cost us games, especially against running teams with big backs. Just like needing to stay ahead of the curve on offense, the same is needed on defense. Trends are always changing, but some coaches just cannot adapt. We don't need a D. Wanndstent (sp?) defense. We need to evolve. I'm excited about the Dline additions, but they are still going to have to stunt and blitz. 13th in blitzing needs to be broken down a bit and it probably was a result of just a handful of games.

I doubt that will fly. He's making 12.7 on a 5th yr. option and given the top LB's are hovering close to 20 per, he'll likely be looking for at least 60 over 4 yr.s at min.

Agree

They were talking today about instincts as to MLB. They were amazed at how Bernard seemed to know what was going to happen before it happened yet were saying Tremaine is like...if A happens....if B happens...if C happens. Sadly that has described 4 years of play and I don't know if that will change. I heard plenty of his interviews as well as Brown and Tasker. I've been watching this team since 73. While he has terrific measurable s and is good teammate, he ain't know Fred Warner. Could he amaze? sure. I hope I'm wrong. I just get the feeling some team will make an outrageous offer next year and that'll be that.

While I hope you're right...about his improved play this year, he's on the 5th year option at almost 13 mil. No way does he get a new deal now and he better wrap 5 yrs. into this one because right now he ain't worth 15 plus. If God forbid he misses time, Bernard could outshine him. If they are so sold on him, why draft Bernard when you have Dodson? I don't mean to be down on Tremaine, maybe he all of a sudden turns into a game changer. I'm just going off 48 years of watching players on this team.

Sorry instead of the 9-6, I should have said 13 seconds.

Terrell Bernard sure got a lotta praise on WGR OBL today. Frazier was even asked about him. They sounded amazed at his smarts and instincts saying he knew what was going to happen before it did. I'm looking forward to seeing him and Spector in the pre season. Frazier did make a good point though, saying..."The pads ain't on yet".

Ok we can have different opines. If we can't get pressure or stop the run with 4, the Mahomes of the world will RPO us to death....and one more loss in the playoffs due to that or stupid 9-6 losses during the season will certainly mean a D.C coaching change. I'm afraid that's the one thing that's gonna keep us from the trophy. Pettine or Schwartz would make us unbeatable.

All good points, I just believe that there are going to be teams (olines) that rushing four against don't work. I'm confident it will be markedly better than last year, but there will be times when no pressure leads to getting picked apart. If they can play press man and I hope that's their intention to do more often, than whether they're in 4-3 or nickel, they can send someone. Frazier had his chest out and soaked up the media love with touting his rush 4 motto against K.C. in the 1st game and well it was fruitless the 2nd time. I'd also love to see them experiment with a 5-2-4. put boogie over a guard like they did Lorax his last year. I'm expecting a huge upgrade from the inside this year, but now that we have an offense that's willing to game plan to opponents, we need to have that creativeness on defense as well.
