Des was nasty today, man. Well-earned star of the game.

Shame on Matt Ryan for snappin the ball with 20 seconds left on the play clock and bulls*** on mike smith calling time out with :55 and the browns not electing to stop the clock.

Bull on whoever called a 15 yard pass on 3rd & 2 .. seriously

 

[quise2024]

Did everyone jump ship

 

[Ricky D]

Nah I'm still ridin' with them boys. 8-8 host DAL or AZ and win

 

[quise2024]

Sucks big time Julio is out. Hopefully Douglas can step in as a big target cuz if it's all on Roddy it's not gonna happen

 

[Ricky D]

Who you guys looking at for our draft? I was thinking that Perryman from Miami in the 2nd rd might be a good pick. I'm not too sure about Spoon given his injury history. As far as 1st I'm not too sure who exactly but we definitely need a pass rusher.

 

[quise2024]

Smith is out


Now who do we draft ...

Randy Gregory, Leonard Williams or trade back and go for Fowler or Shane Ray. No matter how you look at it, we need pass rushers!!

There will be options.. first thing is finding a coach.. confuses me that TD wants to talk to all of these 4-3 guys but we have been drafting more 3-4 guys as of late..makes me think arthur already knows who he wants, he's just doing his Due diligence.

 

[Ricky D]

I want a defensive HC. Mike Nolan needs to go too.

 

[quise2024]

Doug Marrone - Bills
Rex Ryan - Jets
Teryl Austin - Lions DC
Adam Gase - Broncos OC

 

[liltank0206]

So now what do yall think we should do in this draft

 

[Ricky D]

I don't watch a lot of college ball so I'm not big on prospects but here's my order;

1. DE

2. OT

3. OLB

4. TE

5. WR

6. CB

So just skip the fact that our run game is still trash??

We could still give Devonta Freeman a shot. Antone Smith should be back and he was ok, at least in the screen game. Our defense is just too terrible and what good will it do to draft a RB if doesn't have a line to run behind?

there will be some nice free agents available we can't base our entire draft on offensive linemen come on now

I only suggested one OT in the draft. We brought in Jon Asamoah thru FA last year. We also paid big money to get Soliai and Tyson last year. What are some good FA OL this year and how much money do we have to spend? I didn't think it was that much?

You wanted a RB, who did you have in mind?

I honestly think we should try our best to get SUH, jpp, or orakpo, Bruce Carter, byron maxwell, and even tho it maybe unlikely try to julius Thomas in the free agency we don't need to bring back a lot of players that we have that will be hitting the market Tysons being one of em

We just signed Tyson Jackson and Paul Soliai tho. I don't think were just going to let them walk and take that cap hit. I'll have to see what type of cap space we have but I don't think its a lot. We definitely ain't getting Suh. Orakpo is been plagued by injury, same with JPP. We still have to replace Spoon who is set to hit FA this year. We have to build thru the draft and get some sort of foundation on defense.

 

[run.lmc]

So it looks like we'll be bringing in either Shanahan or Gase as OC whenever the hell we hire Quinn pretty good combo if ya ask me

I've been seeing us taking Dante Fowler in a majority of mocks, you guys okay with this kid? I haven't seen much of him compared to Ray or Beasley.
