However praising of Berry folks want to be, I think we can see that once again, whether it would be pick any year since 99
in March of 23 once again the offensive playmakers have to wait until all of the defensive players get signed, settled, situated, packed in, reinforced, and addressed a 2nd time until they throw a bone at the offensive playmakers.
same old recipe, 26th, or 200th time's the charm. Hey, Good Luck.

We're already spending more money on offense than any other team in the league. Link

Hopefully he cut that in half...

Bummer.

Good for him. He deserves a chance. He wasn’t going to get it here.

Pretty good move for Houston.

Jeremy Fowler originally tweeted it out as Hardman signing with the Browns before correcting and changing to the Jets. Browns must've been after Hardman as it came down to the wire.

Yeah, it feels like it was a ready-to-go tweet.

Vers...who was it that said "tackles are tackles" to justify his draft choice..?

And then Jordan Schultz gets exposed for copying Fowler's mistake and tweeting it out like he himself had an inside source before correcting it and crediting Fowler as being first to report.

He's just foreshadowing the Elijah Moore trade that's following this move. ... hopefully.

Seems a kind of strange move with Garrett Wilson, Lazard, Corey Davis, and Elijah already there.

eo..actually, it wasn't me who said "tackles are tackle" when comparing the 2020 OT options available in the 2020 draft...



'tackles are tackles', not worried about left vs. right side

The Cleveland Browns still need a left tackle. New GM Andrew Berry was peppered with questions about filling the glaring hole on the offensive line during his Friday morning press conference.

One of the key statements from Berry defused some of the argument against players like Jedrick Wills and Tristan Wirfs, players who toiled on the right side in college. Berry doesn’t worry about the differentiation between left and right tackle.

“I think the distinction between left tackle and right tackle is really outdated,” Berry said. “Tackles are tackles.”

Did Berry tip his hand even further? The tone in which he said the following sure made it seem like the No. 10 pick will be a tackle,

“The offensive line is always going to be a priority,” Berry stated emphatically. “Not just this year, but every year.”


EO...do you believe "Andy" knows that there is a difference between left tackles and right tackles..?...Andy says "tackles are tackles"...

OT's are judged by their skill set which determines their ability to play either RT, LT or both. I have no idea why you're trying to muddy the water here.

pit...it was Andrew Berry who justified his selection of a RT to fill the Browns need to fill our LT needs by letting everyone know that "tackles are tackles" and those who believe otherwise are using outdated principles for judging OT talent...READ BELOW, Berry's thoughts...

I like AB and I'm glad he's here but I disagree with his assessment on OT's JMO

And he was correct. DE's have become much more quick and agile. In times past NFL teams focused on rushing the QB far more on their blind side which is the left for right handed QB's. Now pressure often comes from both sides and RT's need to be much quicker and more agile than in years past. For an example you can easily see, look at how much the browns mover Myles around. Either an OT is quick and agile enough to play LT or he's not. His skill set alone determines that. I understand you're trying to dig a rabbit hole here but don't expect for me to crawl down into it with you.

Damn, that is impressive, good for him.

And he's right.

PFF has rated our team offensive line as one of the best WITH current tackles- good enough for me. I think AB has hit a home run with his Free Agency gets. PFF had us rated high BEFORE getting WR Moore and LB Walker/ when healthy is a good player......good job AB.

Anthony Walker had a 82.7 overall grade before going down with a season-ending injury.

Glad we did not go after Hardman. I used to like him, but he's inconsistent and I think having Mahomes, Kelce, and T. Hill provided great advantages for guys like him. Dude is fast, but not a route runner.

Spoke it into existence!

Yep. Great call by Bull!

There are a few reasons for the media's coverage.

First and foremost, they cover Aaron Rodgers 365 days a year.

Secondly, it's NY.

Finally, the Jets roster is really, really good. They have perhaps the best D in the league. They have weapons at WR and TE. Garrett Wilson is a true stud and he was only a rookie last year. Rookie Breece Hall was killing it at RB last year before getting hurt. He's amazing. There are questions on the OL, but the media doesn't spend as much time on the OL as some of us do.

The Jets had the worst QB play in the entire league last year. They scored 12 pts or less in 7 games. Wilson acted like a spoiled, entitled brat and his teammates loathed him. They are getting Aaron Rodgers and he is one of the greatest qbs to ever play. I think they are legit Super Bowl contenders. I'm telling you, the AFC is freaking loaded and despite our improvements, it's going to be a difficult path to circumvent.

A lot depends on Becton staying healthy. They've missed him the past 2 seasons. It looks like he's back healthy and in good shape.

Mac is just irritated his pimped player, the "Danish Dynamo" Froholdt wasn't retained.

He was one of the WR's that people claimed was on Rodgers wish list in order to go to the Jets.

peen...who was the best backup OG for the Browns last season..?

Who was the Browns best backup center for last season...?

Saints were $100 Gazillion over the cap and now $15M under. Lolz.
