The Gipper Posted June 21, 2020 Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 5 hours ago, Dutch Oven said: In a perfect world, you'd get a Gronk, who was excellent as a receiver and a blocker... but there is a reason he's a first-ballot Hall of Famer. With an offense that has two stellar RBs demanding the defense's attention like the Browns have, and should be adept at play-action, having a stud blocker at TE shouldn't be super important. This is good, because Hooper, Njoku and the kid rookie whose name escapes me are all 'eh' blockers. Harrison Bryant, or, is it Bryant Harrison? I do dislike it when peopl have two last names. Worse yet...when they have 3. Jones Donovan Peoples? Peoples Donovan Jones? Donovan Jones Peoples? WTF ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion Posted June 22, 2020 Report Share Posted June 22, 2020 14 hours ago, ballpeen said: My theory is if blocking is what you want, draft a lightweight guard from some smaller school and make him a blocking tight end. I want pass catching guys at TE ...I never understood why we let Benjamin Watson go. Qzzie was a WR that they drafted for the sole purpose of being a receiving TE. (and he didn't really like the idea when 1st drafted ) Yup, he didn't block. He was a lousy blocker. When you have to substitute blocking TE's for receiving TE's you're tipping your hand. You can still run with the receiving TE's in the game...but it's at your own risk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zombo Posted August 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 Ok ... Adjusted. With that new practice squad rule, no need to keep three qbs, so Gilbert goes to the protected PS as does Pridgeon, because Hubbard and Harris can both back up at Guard.

I'd even put Evan Brown slightly ahead of Nick Harris for now..I just can't see Wright, Hubbard or Lamm playing Guard & never showed a playing weight over 300 pounds 🤔.. They'd be in Bakers lap on his 4th drop step.. Pridgeon was a former buckeye..and i think he played with his asthma inhaler on the sidelines..But I'm not sure how High Risk works with players not being on a active roster for 3 weeks?

Icecube Posted August 8, 2020 Report Share Posted August 8, 2020 I think both things are true: OG depth is scary thin, but it doesn't have to be a big problem. Starters are still there, depth can be found. It's a concern, but not an insurmountable obstacle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
