In addition, the team placed OL John Greco (foot) on injured reserve. McCants is 6-5, 309-pounds and is officially in his fourth season out of Alabama-Birmingham. Originally selected by the Giants in the sixth round of the 2012 draft, he has appeared in 28 career games with three starts. He has spent the past four seasons with the Raiders. McCants is a native of Mobile, Ala. Greco opened all 12 games this season with starts at right guard (10) and center (two). He didn’t miss an offensive snap until sustaining a foot injury yesterday in the third quarter against the Giants. Greco has appeared in 111 career games with 70 career starts. He joined the Browns via trade prior to the start of the 2011 season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calfoxwc Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 I think that explains some of his play - he surely has been playing with his foot injury for at least 2/3 games. He hasn't been playing as well as earlier in the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gftChris Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 Oh well, back in to the line up comes Bailey, who's been backup, started when Erving went down, then backup again, started when Bitonio went down, demoted for Drango, starting again now.

gftChris Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 BTW, read an article earlier, and there's something quite depressing but uplifting in a way: After rushing for 163 yards, averaging nearly 6 yards per carry, in a Week 4 loss to the Redskins, the Browns ascended to No. 1 in the NFL in rushing offense. Less than two months later, three of the five starting offensive linemen from that game are on the team’s injured reserve. That's the three interior guys: Bitonio, Reiter and Greco. Which is another way to say "we have basically no chance in the run game with replacement level guys across the line" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gipper Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 It is Groundhog day again. It never fails. Every year, even years when we are better than this, it seems that one part of the team get decimated with injuries. Here, huge parts of the OL get IRed. Other years it has been QB (we just started much earlier at that position this year.) Some years the DL, or the defensive backfield. The injury train never stops with this team.

gftChris Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 Rather than Bailey, I'm wondering if Coleman starts at RT and Paz slides inside to RG. I hadn't considered that given that Pasztor seems to have cemented himself at RT and won the competition'. Also bear in mind they're the same age, believe it or not. Unfortunate for Coleman but good for the browns. I'm hoping Cooper beats out Bailey to start at right guard to be honest. He was about the safest prospect in his draftnclass but it hasn't happened for him, mainly due to injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tour2ma Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 I hear you, but look at the overall strength of the two line-ups. It's not a matter of Shon having to beat out Paz; it's a matter of Shon beating out Cooper with Paz taking the place of the loser. Paz has road grader mentality for the inside and should flourish playing PassPro in the proverbial phone booth. Shon had PassPro skills at Auburn and moved well enough to get angles in run blocking. Really depends on if Shon has returned to form, but if he's close, then it seems like the more promising route to me vs. a prospect who has been cut loose by two teams in 4 years. But I'm not too picky... I'll take either scenario... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm not too picky... I'll take either scenario... That's very interesting. Paztor has been disappointing at RT, Greco was getting run over....but probably was playing hurt... Has Coleman been playing at all? beats me, but I wonder if he's improved his strength... he was labeled a "boom or bust" by some "experts".. do you see him at OG? or.... from NFL. com: ". Shon Coleman, OT, Auburn: Coleman's battle to beat cancer is amazing, and I join everyone else in the football world in rooting for him to excel in the NFL. There are times where he destroys his competition, using his length and strength up top, and he shows very good agility to reach linebackers in space. However, facing veteran pro linemen will be a challenge for him due to a lack of strength in his lower body. His long legs might also cause issues, because although he plays with a wide base, that width can cause him to lose recovery speed and fall prey to better pass-rush moves."

wargograw Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 Was listening to Bucky Brooks the other day & Bucky's theory was that due to the Auburn's Gus Malzon offensive structure. Every single Auburn OLmen really struggle with adapting to the NFL team systems? Your thoughts? That is probably accurate, but then again it's accurate about most college teams, at this point. Auburn runs a combination of the spread and the wing T. They run the ball most plays. He should at least be able to run block. But remember I posted that they asked Myles Garrett who the hardest OT he's had to pass rush against was and he said Shon Coleman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not seen Coleman in pass pro yet, just running plays splitting time with Durango (which may have more nasty than Shon). the fail maybe pass pro, due to a scoreboard that gets us to about 20rush to 35pass per game. Surely, Myles would say the very same thing about any T left on his schedule imho. Shocked not Tunsil @Miss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
