Canton Mike 1,826 Report post Posted March 16, 2020 Andrew Berry has had one HELL of a day!!! Kudos to him & his staff........Hooper, Conklin & Keenum...WOW!!! I know the acquisitions aren't official until Wednesday, but the "bashers" look like shit after all their 1-31 BS. As many of us have said, Berry came into a totally different circumstance now than before & we had no idea what might happen, but today should show you that judging him on the past was wrong. He has certainly been aggressive in free agency. Mike 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mudfly 1,091 Report post Posted March 16, 2020 It's a great 1st day....but there is a LOT of work to do and a draft that still needs to happen..... Today we added depth to QB....upgraded one position we were"ok" at ......and filled one true hole at RG..... But we have gaping holes at safety and LB.....So, I will reserve judgement until I see how he fills the most recent holes he created with cuts, as well as seeing how we do in the upcoming draft.......LOTS of picks and deals yet to be completed.... Im optimistic he will be aggressive(as he said he would).....So day 1 gets an A..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ibleedbrown 704 Report post Posted March 17, 2020 I get the impression Berry was given a green light and a blank check. Glitzy moves so far. Gives you an idea of the directive for the season which appears to be going for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In theory, yes, we may still have 2 holes on the OL: LT, RG. And we need 2 LBs, and maybe 2 DBs, safteties. Did I here that Morgan Burnett was out of here?

He has certainly been aggressive in free agency. Mike Conklin and Hooper are coming off great years too and they aren’t long long term deals that cripple cap room either for years. Keenum is nice backup that is a luxury for a team with our cap space and again a non crippling long term cap move too. great signings IMO. defense needs a TON of work though 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Louisville Slugger 94 Report post Posted March 17, 2020 In all fairness the only good move was Conklin. We over paid for Hooper and Keenum is a 6 million dollar backup. I dont hate any of these pickups but I wouldn't say hes killing it. We have alot of holes to fill on defense and it seems that money would have been better spent on that side of the ball 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CLEVELANDwantsPLAYOFFS 367 Report post Posted March 17, 2020 Steps are being made to assist in taking the offense to the next level👏 It would be great to secure a LT in the first round. But it’s going to be tricky waiting at 10 for “their guy” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, I am one of the oldest MFers on this board along with Canton Mike who also appears quite happy. How was your math Mike you elated old son of a bitch?🤠🧓 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Interesting take.... all I can find is reference to one start and "some experience" at RG, but it may well suit him better. At least he can be kept around to compete for the spot.

Tour2ma 5,165 Report post Posted March 19, 2020 Crossed my mind during my typing at least three posts today, so I thought I'd better post it this time... So far we've seen nothing, but strong indications that all the interactive, unity, collaboration stuff we heard when Berry was brought on board is coming to fruition. Signs of input, especially from the Coaching staff, are all over the place. Still early yet... still the off-season... still in the honeymoon phase... still a little early to tell the detractors (and they know who they are, Dutch... ) where to go... ... but maybe they ought to at least start packing. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jcam222 775 Report post Posted March 19, 2020 Hes knocking it out of the park. Love all the signings. Any team that got Hooper would have been at the highest paid TE level. Love Keenum to push Baker. Baker knows right now that he better excel or Keenum can start. Conklin awesome too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
