Ward apparently will miss a little time but not a lot. Back spasms. That’s not terrible considering it could have been much worse.

Also I feel compelled to make a joke about Soup spraining his vagina but I’m not going to do it.

I understand you’re not a fan of Hue, but you don’t think every other part of the team is improved over last season?

My vote went up from 4-5 to 7 wins. Probably getting too optimistic but we’ll see.

Hue Jackson kicked your dog.

Awesome, that’ll help his trade value.

You’re right about the depth chart. It’s just preseason. Avery AKA “The Walking Muscle” looked really good last night.

If Ward is down for any period of time I’d absolutely trade one of our LB’s for a good CB.

Taylor up.
Hubbard up.

Ward getting MRI today.

I do remember that. But he’s already been demoted to 2nd string. And I don’t mean they save him for 3rd and long pass rush situations, he’s fallen behind Avery as a pass rusher too.

Collins definitely made some plays, but now we have Kendricks who is a lot better, and Avery who has more upside.

How about the fact that we have 3 real DT’s on our roster? Would you trade our 4th or 5th LB for a guy who might be our 2nd best DT? I’d pull the trigger on that for sure. I’m not talking about getting nothing for him, I’m talking about getting value in return. He doesn’t even play special teams, which is important in a 2nd string LB.

I hadn’t read Labbe’s article or seen Terry’s take before making this post. They probably lurk here on BFT for ideas for articles because we always have such a rich, football-centric discussion that never devolves into memes or mom jokes.

But yeah, he’s an asset that we’re paying a lot for that we almost certainly won’t get good return on…[Read more]

He won the preseason.

I just think we have such a position of strength and so much depth that we’re either cutting someone good, or trading someone away. I’d prefer the latter. No way any of those guys can hide out on our practice squad.

I don’t think that’s what is keeping him off the field. That’s a lawyer fight.

How about the scuffle between Garrett and Greg Robinson? It’s nice to see Garrett’s emotion come out. I worried that as intelligent as he is he would have problems being an evil fucker on defense. Killer on the field, poet off the field. Interesting dichotomy.

I don’t mind the little scuffles at all. Means they’re being pushed hard and they’ve…[Read more]

This bears bringing up again in light of the Hard Knocks 2. No effort given even when he was on the field. Gets vastly outplayed by a 4th round rookie. Gets demoted to 2nd team, marches into the HC’s office like some entitled brat cursing about it and asks to be traded.

But show us more of your shoe collection Coleman.

Just another in a long…[Read more]

City Officials – If/when the Browns win that first game this season, drunk fans are going to destroy the city in revelry. What do we do about it?

Budweiser – What if they were so drunk they couldn’t move?

City Officials – Perfect.
