More often than not we see Bud Dupree running like 50 yards to achieve actually a 3-yard distance between him and the quarterback and this is due to the fact that even after four seasons he still lacks the upper body strength and skill to break blocks so he knows his only chance is to be running free. Was merely responding to the premise that he has an average 1st step. He doesn't all the time which adds to the frustration. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VigilantZombie Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Does anybody think we will add a tight end before the regular season that is worth mentioning? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dcash4 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 I'd like a Browns fans explanation on the difference of what Kitchens and Mayfield have done by "motivating" Duke Johnson in the media vs. what Ben Roethlisberger did with AB.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grubs10 Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Austin Seferian-Jenkins just got cut I heard. I know hes bounced around a lot but his physical attributes are enticing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Scuttlebutt is that he pissed hot for something as he missed Pat's camp due to personal reasons.

Dcash4 Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Just a thought on our TE position, but I wonder if they would give Nix anymore run as an H-back of sorts. Using him like the Rams use their TEs in 3 wide sets, coming across the formation like another pulling guard would have me excited. I think you could stand him up and flex him and be fairly effective as a 2nd tightend. I wouldn’t give him a ton of pass catching responsibility, but as a second TE and a 5th receiving option, I think you could make it work. The whole Sutton Smith taking FB reps got me wondering why they would do that - and that popped up as an option. I think Rosie is athletic enough to handle some TE responsibilities and I think he is a good enough cog to demand some more snaps. Little outside the box, but I think I’d love to see SOME of that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If dupree was legit, he would have schooled the rookie, instead the rookie kept the 4th year vet irrelevant . If he had a variety of moves etc, this wouldn't occur at all.

It's an exaggeration, but for someone as athletic as him, he isn't nearly as consistent as you would hope. There are far less athletic players that get off the snap better than he does.

Some are suggesting he's ok against the run and ok in coverage. He was an off the charts athlete. They drafted him to be a a Pass Rusher. He hasn't come close to what they had to think they had. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
