That sounds like an insult, sir.

I could add names to the list, too...........as long as we wanna be sarcastic.

How about Paul Hubbard. The next great savior. LOL

Things work both ways. Please don't suspend me for that.

That's the guy.

Did he ever make it back into football?

No.

Did Paul Hubbard?

What point is there to this madness?

btw .. we have 3 QBs now .. not 4

The original point, by YTown, was that Leslie has not signed with a team yet and cutting him will likely not be a mistake. Hence the Josh Lenz comparison.

This just makes me even more confused about why we claimed the guy from the Ravens.

Not really sure why we are naming WR's.. but i'll follow suit.

Travis Wilson.

And..............????

Are you guys really making fun of people who praised Lentz? Seriously?

I get that you have "numbers" on here, but the positive posters who defend the organization constantly are far more deserving of criticism than those who supported guys like Lentz.

No.

Carlton Mitchell is the only true savior of the Browns. However, we turned our backs on him.

AWW I loved Mitch.

Ditto that...

Nacua really hasn't impressed me. He just always seems to be late to the play.

Very blah, backup type player. I don't think he's going to develop into the next Tashaun Gipson or Mike Adams or anything.


Ed Reynolds and that other guy were better in preseason IMO. Maybe as he learns the NFL and defense more, he'll start playing faster. I just wasn't seeing it with him. Probably the weakest backup on the team I think

Nacua stunk in preseason.

Gotta wonder what all those people who were expecting big things outta him were thinking.


I think reports were that he was slow, then people pointed at 40 times (I think).


Truth is, you can be a track star, but that doesn't necessarily mean you're a fast football player. Nacua is slow. There's gotta be someone out there better than him to backup our safeties. Ibraheim Campbell I guess would be our primary backup (and he's better than Nacua), but there's gotta be someone else out there

I forget the guy's name, but he jumped up the positional charts during camp, got hurt, and we released him. Do you remember his name?

That kid impressed me more than any of them in the short time we were able to watch him.

Can't think of his name. He's the one I was referring to as "the other guy" lol. There's a guy named Justin Currie on the depth chart from early August......... I think he's the one I'm referring to.


We'd be better with him

Maybe for a chance to pick his brain on the Ravens' playbook?

That's what I'm thinking. He's probably going to the practice squad

My guess is Hue or Sashi liked him and he was brought in for the week to work him out and see if he was worth developing. If they like what they saw then he will probably be put on the practice squad.

#Browns Kai Nacua had the 10th best preseason yds per cover snap among safeties (.18) Allowed 2 rec./12 yds on 6 targets in 67 cover snaps

I cant say whether Nacua was good or bad as frankly I just don't remember him from preseason.

I watched the first three preseason games. Didn't bother watching the fourth.



I don't care what the stats say, Nacua was late on every play. That's what I saw. A guy who simply was too slow out there

Extremely small sample:

Yeah, Justin Currie is the guy I was thinking of. He was an undrafted FA who shot up the depth chart. He looked good in the preseason and I remember writing about him in a Postgame Thoughts thread.

He hurt his ankle right after that and was later released.

I also agree w/you about Nacua. He was always late to the ball. I have no idea how PFF came up w/that ranking and I've often wondered how they evaluate coverages. If a guy is late to the party, is he given a pass because he is so far away from the receiver? I don't know. But, Nacua looked consistently late when I saw him.

Currie was just the opposite. It's a shame he got hurt. I think he would have made the team.

We've elevated LB B.J. Bello and DB Kai Nacua to the active roster

This means we now have two spots open on our practice squad.

Nacua and BJ Bello were promoted from the PS..

Sterup and Woodrum?

This is what happens when you depend upon stats to try to form an opinion.

Stats can inform an opinion, but they are not the entire opinion. We don't have very much information, so a lot of times stats are the best we have.

lol, I dunno man. I watched those games, and Nacua kind of stood out (in a not so good way).



Don't care what those stats say, he didn't impress me.

But who knows, guys get better

Browns elevate LB B.J. Bello and DB Kai Nacua to the active roster

http://www.clevelandbrowns.com/news/arti...d2-c18182b7af50

The Cleveland Browns have signed LB B.J. Bello and DB Kai Nacua to the active roster from the practice squad.

Both players spent the preseason with the Browns after signing as undrafted free agents on May 11. Bello, a product of Illinois State, recorded four tackles and one sack during the preseason, while Nacua, out of Brigham Young, registered nine tackles and one pass defense.

I can't find any news on the transaction, but the Browns have signed CB C.J. Smith (5'11" 189 lbs 2nd year) to the PS. He was released from the Eagles PS on 9/12.

Per NFL.com

The Cleveland Browns have placed WR Corey Coleman on injured reserve (hand).*

In addition, the team signed DL Tyrone Holmes and WR Jordan Leslie to the practice squad and released DB Najee Murray and DB Channing Stribling from the practice squad.

Coleman started both games this season and recorded six receptions for 62 yards and a touchdown. He sustained a fracture in his hand during the fourth quarter at Baltimore.

Holmes appeared in the team’s season opener as a reserve and saw action in 11 games with the Browns in 2016. Leslie led the club this preseason with two receiving touchdowns and added nine receptions for 93 yards. He spent time on the Browns’ practice squad last season. Both players’ full bios can be found in the 2017 Cleveland Browns media guide.

*Each team can designate two players to return from injured reserve. Designation does not need to be made until that player is able to return to practice. A player placed on injured reserve is eligible to return to practice in six weeks and must miss a minimum of eight weeks.
