  1. But if he sets up in the pocket and gets his knee blown out like Carson Palmer did in a playoff game vs the Steelers, you are fine with it? Got it. Did it "piss the bageezuz" out of you when Baker hurt his shoulder trying to tackle the defender he threw an interception to in 2021, or does this only apply to running quarterbacks? But you are right, and we've gone over this numerous times, calling a run play/draw play with your quarterback down around your opponents ten yard line was not a smart call, and was just asking for him to get injured.
  2. Hell, how many sacks did Roethlisberger get out of in the first half of his career against us?
  3. Super Bowls, huge concerts year round, Final Fours, NCAA football playoff games, possibly the Big Ten Championship if it could ever be wrestled from Indianapolis' grip, etc... Hell, the Raiders came from sunny California and beat the Browns in minus 30 degree January Cleveland weather back in January '81.
  4. I saw a couple stories about how longtime Buffalo Bills season ticket holders have seen their prices skyrocket with the new stadium coming...
  5. I think a $2 billion dome might be wishful thinking from the Haslams, even if I totally understand fiscally why that makes long-term sense. A retractable dome might be a complete pipedream then.
  6. I'm sure they could get an extension, but it does appear that things one way or another are starting to happen.
  7. Hold your proverbial horses there... I never said it is safer scrambling, and I do get what Orion is saying. My point is I can name quite a few non-running quarterbacks whose careers were riddled with injuries they received from not scrambling or running on designed plays. And here's the thing: Offenses that feature Mobile quarterbacks are EVERYWHERE in high school and college football. There aren't many Joe Flacco's or Drew Bledsoe's anymore.
  8. So it appears that the Browns, whose lease at Cleveland Browns Stadium ends after the 2028 season, have two options for their future: 1. For roughly a billion dollars, they stay at CBS. What a billion dollars would do for the stadium is unknown, but what it would not do is put a roof on it. 2. For roughly two billion dollars, they build a dome in Brookpark. An indoor stadium outside the city, I imagine surrounded by a "ballpark village". So, what say you, Fuzzybritches? (Bonus points for first person to guess what movie that line is from)
  9. How about the most famous QB injury that happened in the pocket behind one of the best OLines in NFL history? I'll take Joe Theismann's pulverized leg for $500, Alex...
  10. You like drop back passers, guys who stay in the pocket because you think that makes them safer... David Carr, Tim Couch and Bernie Kosar all fit that description.
  11. nickers can excuse back-to-back pick sixes when they are thrown by non-running quarterbacks.
  12. Alright Flugs, Gumby and anyone else who would like to play along... If the Browns had a first round pick, they would have the #23 overall pick. Post three guys you'd like who would probably be available.
  13. The rest of this decade is going to be very interesting regarding this...
  14. Got any connections to Connor Stalions? Oh wait... he wouldn't have a ton of scouting videos for his team....
  15. I like the idea of Colson being a good complement to JOK, which is why I'm intrigued by him.
  16. If I'm reading this correctly, it seems like this would force kickoff returns. You can't pooch kick, or the opposing team automatically gets great field position. You don't want to kick the ball through the end zone, because you'll be giving the opposing team great field position. Kind of forces you to kick the ball to the returners, and it forces the returners to return the kicks. It seems like it gives people what they claim they want.
  17. How do you pronounce the kid's first name? I sure do hope the "I"s aren't silent 😉
  18. Can you imagine being Woody, seriously though? His life IS Ann Arbor's football team. It got its ass handed to it by Ohio State for two decades. TWO DECADES. Then out of nowhere his beloved team finally slays its master. He can FINALLY walk around in his blue and piss yellow with pride. Then he finds out his team was cheating its ass off. Must be soul-crushing. 🤣
  19. Here's my 3rd round shortlist for the Browns: WR Devontez Walker, North Carolina 6'2, 200lbs. Good size with ability to get separation. OG Tanor Bortolini, Wisconsin. 6'4, 310lbs. Versatile interior OLineman. Plays like a wrestler but has great quickness for pulling. DT Ruke Orhorhoro, Clemson. 6'4, 290lbs. Very good interior pass rusher, needs work vs the run. ILB Tommy Eichenberg, Ohio State 6'2, 236lbs. Smart, tough player. Average athlete. TE Cade Stover, Ohio State. 6'4, 251lbs. Might be the most overall well-rounded TE in this weak class. CB T.J. Tampa, Iowa State. 6'2, 195lbs. Good size, wingspan and a strong tackler. S Calen Bullock, USC. 6'2, 193lbs. Ballhawk with tremendous range. Yes, I put in Cade Stover again. Perhaps I reached for him by inserting him into my second round shortlist. Well, here he is again! 😉
  20. I kind of get it though. Off the top of my head, I can't think of a ton of mammoth DTackles that have come into the NFL and done much. They tend to get exposed as one-trick pony's who struggle to make a big impact.
  21. Most likely he's going to end up in Columbus, because I can't see anyone picking up the rest of his contract ($19 mill or so) and if Straw declines going down to Columbus, his guaranteed contract is kaput. The extension the Guardians gave him after the trade deadline deal bringing him from Houston made no sense to many at the time, and while he's been very good defensively, he's been roughly a .230 hitter with zero power. Infielder Tyler Freeman has been working a lot in the offseason and spring training as an outfielder, and looks to be at least sharing the job now with Straw out of the picture. It appears Brayan Rocchio will be the starter at short, with Gabriel Arias taking over as the utility infielder.
  22. Nashville seems an obvious choice. Kind of a dark horse is Salt Lake City.
  23. @Flugel @gumby73 (And anyone else who wants to participate, of course) Want to do a top 5 list for our 3rd round pick, like we we did for the 2nd rounder? I'll start.
