Who do you think were your last good ones? And if you ruled the world who that you can legally poach, or hire off the street, would you go after? I'll only mention that after your second half vs. Indy, that if the rumors were true, then I think Ben has a future as an OC if and when he wants it. And, yes, a few... just feels like more when one is the object of their "affection." Didn't he say just that Tomlin "inherited" both Fichtner and Butler? Uhm....you mention Todd Haley....he was OC under Tomlin....so Tomlin must have chosen Fichtner. And Butler replaced Dick LeBeau....who was DC under Tomlin. Is the Vagina trying to say that Tomlin has no say so whatsoever in who serves as coordinators under him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit east of you, but you don't happen to remember a restaurants named Bonvechio's, do you? Around Wainwright somewhere... south of New Philadelphia. My Dad loved the place and we'd make the fairly long drive down from CLE a couple times a year for dinner... and a long drive back home. Primarily a steakhouse they used to age beef on premises in their cellar. Dad told me you could go down and pick out your own steak, but he did not recommend it. Said he did it once and damn near couldn't eat the thing after seeing the mold on it. May have closed in the early 60's... seems like I was pretty small when we stopped making that long-ass drive.

I've been in Columbus off and on for a little over ten years now I'd say but the area where we are has so much stuff we never really have to drive to far to get something really good. Delaware, Dublin, Powell, Westerville and of course columbus as a whole. It definitely sounds good tho. One place I really miss is Mike's place in Kent. It's a brownsbacker place too. Lol. X-wing out front and really good greasy spoon breakfast. I will try and ask around about that steakhouse.

I on the other hand did say that I would trade his LBs for ours. BTW- Vag is "technically" right- Bens "dead cap" is only $22 million, as opposed to a "cap hit" of $40 million. Either way, they have zero cap room without making significant moves to get out of cap hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not happy with the steelers and it has absolutely zero to do with losing to the browns. You're subscribing to the Steeler fantasy- we're going to be good next year because we've always been good.

Where exactly is your problem? No issue, just highlighting the idiocy. The why is Irrelavent - you're here on a Browns board BUT it's the Browns who can't shut up about the Steelers? Either accept the territory you're in and that Cleveland fans wish to see this rivalry restored and post as such (it's been getting better the last 4-5 years) or quit bitching about what they say. Hell, I'm cool with Juju and now Chase going off. I miss some old fashion hate and bitterness. Makes a win a little more satisfying in a game that is supposed to be a brawl.

Yinzers got a couple of good young receivers (stay seated Juju...not talking about you) ....and a couple of young defenders (Minka/Watt) ... but beyond that it is about middle of the pack in terms of average age of your players. I guess getting rid of BR could help that. Browns on the other hand are the 4th youngest. So tell us which team is built for the future. Also...I have played Darth Vader a time or two and have killed a few Y(eu)ounglings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunz41 Posted January 13, 2021 Report Share Posted January 13, 2021 Guys, sure there is a bit of a difference being on an opposing teams forum, but Mr. Tron is to me not a troll. He actually posts even when they aren't playing, and he certainly isn't as bad as some so called Browns fans (and no, not saying ones that post regularly). Now I completely disagreed with his talk and reasoning prior to and not long after the game, but he seems like a good guy. As for what he has said in this thread about not trading... that is what most people are going to say. I mean just take a look (in your memory) at some of the talk on here with regards to some of the Browns earlier this year. People were ready to give up on Baker, OBJ, every defensive player not named Myles and Denzel (and even a few with him), Njoku, Peoples Jones, Higgins. And if you do indeed think he is trolling, continuing to go after him would in fact be giving him exactly what he wants. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
