They said the same thing about Johnny Football.

Taki taki seemed slight to me, at least from my couch haha ... he didn’t do much that made me think he’d be our answer at LB I'm not sure if Takitaki's season, or lack thereof, was more about him or Wilks. He played less than 10% of the defensive snaps. Link It kind of feels like a Genard Avery situation, and they are somewhat similar players. Did he not play because he wasn't good or because Wilks didn't have a plan for him? I didn't see enough of him to get a good grasp on how he was playing. One problem with both of the past couple FOs is that there seemed to be a disconnect between GM and coaches about the plans for how to use and develop drafted players (and those acquired by other means.) I have wondered the same, but most coaches aren't going to bench a better player because they don't like them on a personal level. Tic-Tak has some flaws in his game. Maybe he can take coaching and correct them.
If everybody had like minds, we would never learn. GM Strong

I could be wrong but weren't there folks on these boards calling schobert a bust after his first season and claiming we wasted a pick on him. Wasn't he a 4th round pick? Bust? I am not wrong about not too long ago were talking how bad Dorsey was and that we couldn't lose Joe. Now, they think it's good to let him leave. We don't have to look too far back for that one. I will say that "who said what" crap is just that. Crap. Who cares?

"who said what" crap? Coming from the guy who whines about who-'likes'-what posts and who does or doesn't respond to the posts of others?

Now if Joe wouldn't sign for 10 million per year and is trying to get 14 or 15 million per year I might change my tune.

They said the same thing about Johnny Football. Big Difference. Joe and TT are working hard on improving and playing football. The only thing JM worked on was partying, drinking, and using drugs.

Projecting a mid round pick will be starter material in his second year who only played 10% of the snaps as a rookie is s stretch. A HUGE stretch.
I know we all want our Browns to win, but claiming he'll make that leap this upcoming year is improbable at best. You know that GM.

If he signs an offer sheet, take the pick and never look back.

I dont think he will find a team, but we’ll see
"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."

The game's highest paid TE? Yeah, but according to some, Conklin isn't worth the money.

$30M tied up in two WRs and the highest-paid TE?

If we sign Hooper and Conklin that’s a big upgrade

Considering the money that GB paid Kirko, I think the Browns may have been wiser to try and trade him rather than just releasing him.

Trade a guy who has played (7) games in the last two years and his current team wanted nothing to do with the remainder of his contract? Yeah, lots of teams want to get them some of that.

Burris was a guy who caught my eye early on and I said so. I think before anyone else did.
I would have like to have retained him. He was very decisive when attacking the ball. That's important.

I watched a lot of SF's games. Ward was a guy who caught my eye multiple times. Almost all of those plays were positive. I think he would be a great get.

Is he more of a SS type? Kinda like Deone Buchanan

Then. last year he went to FS which seemed to be his best positon. Note: I might have the sequence wrong. Just going my memory. I just know that I watched a ton of SF games this year because of Shanny and Jimmy G. Ward was all over the place. Very good ball instincts. Breaks hard on the ball. Not the biggest guy, but uses shoulders well. Has a knack for making big plays at key times. That isn't a scouting report. It's my observations.

Thanks for the insight. He’s not someone I’ve really paid much attention to after the draft. We certainly need any safety help we can get

JIMMIE WARD DB, SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS
49ers re-signed S Jimmie Ward to a three-year, $28.5 million contract.
Ward has struggled to stay on the field -- he's played 40-of-64 possible games over the last four seasons -- but he's a nice starter whenever healthy and was a priority for the front office. Still only 29 years old, Ward can hold down the back-end of the 49ers' secondary as they try to make another Super Bowl. He is coming off a career-high 65 tackles.
