Anyone think it's possible we re-sign Greco to a lower number after week one?

It sounds like all of our backup tackles and Shon, who I believe is still backup quality as of week 1, are project tackles. I think we're really leaning on Joe Thomas to groom his replacements. And he'll do it, because he's a perfect guy at the end of his career. I think this is why we're asking for a first for him. I just hope these boys fall in love with the game like Joe did. If not, they'll be lucky to be good.

Possible? Sure. Likely? No.

I noticed that as well.

Even a blind lawyer finds a nut once in awhile ....

I don't quite get why we have four QBs on our roster, unless we chose the Baltimore guy just to get a slight competitive edge.

I think the writing is on the wall for Kessler

I had thought of that

I'm just guessing but I would say they probably liked him before and brought him in for the week to see if he is worth developing.

I agree. If they feel he can run this type of offense, then I see Kessler gone.

Say what you want but it's going to take somebody an extra half of a second just to run around him lol

Because Sashi is smarter than every other GM in the league. Don't question him. He is a lawyer and we all know that they can always be trusted.

Cody won't make it to week 2 I don't think.

Having only 4 CB's make's me question what would have happened with the roster if Howard Wilson was healthy (or when he gets back healthy).

There is no way we go into the season w/four corners and 4 quarterbacks, right?

It would be so bizarre if we did! yet we keep stocking up on dlinemen. smh.

The Browns organization, including the smart FO and the coaches/personnel decision makers have stated they wanted to look at the QB from Baltimore/including quizzing him extensively to see his aptitude for QBing. Cody isn't a fit, JMHO, although a good guy. Safeties can't cover guys right, I thought another term....defensive back...applies also, how many of those do we have.....the team leadership will fill the appropriate gaps. Sashi makes final decisions, but seems Berry, another smart Harvard guy, who was All-league in college as DB, he calls lots of shots...maybe....we posters are way better/and smarter than he.....NOT.....GO Browns!!!!

<<sigh>>

Y'all never learn.

For one week it is probably fine.

Looks that way

Apparently they think the safeties can work from the slot if it comes to it. Not sure I entirely agree.

I'm guessing they add depth there at CB once the QB situation sorts itself out. I don't know if they are hoping for an injury or some QB to look awful this weekend or what. Maybe Kessler and Hogan are banged up. Definitely an odd look.

How so?

There is more to it than just playing D. There are special teams. And if we break down on special teams, the chants to fire Tabor will grow.

We screwed him last year by not keeping good special teams guys and sticking turds like Louis out there. Are we going to trot out Cody on kickoff coverage.

LMAO......I would actually kind of love that......in a weird way.

We probably have Kindred, Jordan, Pryor, and Campbell from the DB group. Schobert, Orchard, Alexander, and Burgess from the front seven. And then Williams, Coates, Davis, Louis, Telfer, and/or Dayes from offense.

It's not ideal, but it's manageable for one week.

(I don't like that we are carrying four QBs either, as I have said a bunch of times. It doesn't make sense.)

I can accept that line of thinking.

Reports saying Marcus Burley got signed by Texans

Carrying 3 qbs imho is pretty damn stupid unless u have that 3rd guy u think can develop long term into something really good. We have 3 QBs that would have difficulty making it as a starter in the Canadian league.

Bingo. And we have four.

Are there only two of us that think picking up Woodrum, is spelling the end for Kessler?

minus Kessler and the rest are 6'3", 6'3", and 6'4". All of whom can seemingly throw the deep ball, that Cody cannot.

It would have happened by now.

yea I thought about that some...perhaps they are shopping him for a pick of some sort...failing that I think they out right cut him in the few days.

I think we like the kid from Baltimore. We are holding Kessler another week or two with the hope we can swing a trade for a player or a pick. At least that is my feeling. If nothing can be worked out, Kessler probably gets dropped.

I did say before TC that I wouldn't be shocked if we kept 4 QB's going into week 1, but I didn't think it would be these 4 QB's.

Texans signed CB Marcus Burley, formerly of the Browns, to a two-year contract
.
Burley had a promising 2015 with the Seahawks across limited snaps but was cut and spent 2016 with the Browns where he only saw 29 defensive snaps. The 27-year-old projects as a slot corner and special teamer.

I didn't realize Burley was 27 and had been in the league since 2013.

Cleveland Browns are releasing Zach Sterup (OT, Nebraska) from the 53-man roster. Talented young lineman will land on his feet very quickly.

I wonder who's up

Maybe we're trading Kessler for an OT?

We should know soon who the team is signing to replace him, but the most obvious position of need that comes to mind would be defensive end, which could include the likes of Tyrone Holmes, Karter Schult, or Cam Johnson as an extra insurance policy due to the ankle injury Myles Garrett suffered on Wednesday.

Overall, the Browns are still relatively thin at backup offensive tackle, but they claimed Zach Banner off waivers earlier in the week to add some depth to the position.

Ut oh.

Browns just released statement saying Garrett has a high ankle sprain and an update will be given in a couple of weeks.. smh.

Probably bringing back Holmes.

#Browns No. 1 pick Myles Garrett was diagnosed with a high-ankle sprain, knocking him out several weeks. Generally 4-6 weeks.
