I don’t think he’s getting a payday. We’re gonna see just how garbage he is without Callahan holding his fat lazy hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NateDawg Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 I’m not interested in not seeing Dawand Jones start this year. We aren’t building around either of those other slob veterans at this point imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its unfortunate we extended Conklin because that’s a lot of money for a guy that is going to be likely a limited participant for us. At least we have a pair and a spare because our tackles get riddled with injury constantly. I do hope they don’t use salary to justify having Dawand as the swing guy. Hes a mauler.

Agreed DJ looks like a future Superstar at RT...but lets be completely honest.....he's not currently a better blocker than the MULTI time All Pro Jack Concklin.....Concklin's problems have always been Injury related....I think this is the Courtney Brown affect....Amazing Player...but will only play 6-10 games a season... With his injury history, he should be in for a relatively healthy year this year... Unless you really think that our 2nd year promising rookie is better than a Vet Multi time All Pro former 1rst round Pick? Now DJ has completely exceeded expectations....but Concklin is a Multi time All Pro for a reason.... Edited August 27 by DaWg_LB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be fine with moving Conklin to LT and DeWand to RT with Jed as the swing guy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's IF Concklin can play LT....I know he was a LT at Mich St....but Bintonio was LT at Nevada also....I don't wanna start monkying around with a Guy who we know is All Pro at his position (When healthy)....If anything I would see if Jones can play LT.....I know he's always been a RT, but seeing this guy's old Basketball Highlights, he has those dancing bear like feet...I would have preferred to attempt this transition with Father Callahan still on the Roster...but we COULDNT keep him from going to coach with his Son...that would have just been bad Ju Ju LOL. Also IMO Wills looked like he was improving (especially as a passblocker) last year, until he got hurt.....(might just be me though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Jed is our third best OT if all are healthy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candyman93 Posted August 28 Author Share Posted August 28 DTR is a project. If we can fit 4 QBs, then fit 4 QBs. After last year, I’m fine with it. I’d rather have Huntley than some bum 3rd string TE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWil23 Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 I believe that the Browns keeping 4 quarterbacks signals a trade coming more than a final decision to keep all 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 3rd string TE is going to see a lot more playing time than a 3rd or 4th string QB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LETSGOBROWNIES Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 I think there’s a few reasons though tbh. First, they like all 4 QBs and don’t think they’ll be able to keep the 4th on the roster/PS. Second, and I think this is somewhat likely, they’ve got the framework for a deal in place and are just hammering out the particulars. Third, the quality of the guys we had in camp at TE after Njoku and Akins vs what we can find on the street more or less whenever is pretty much the same. Fourth, the scheme changes we’ve been hearing about are real and we’re gonna be seeing a lot more 11 personnel. And lastly, circling back to the talent level of those guys, I think we can keep a 3rd TE on the practice squad with little worry about them getting poached. They can practice, stay up to speed with the offense and then be elevated a game at a time as needed based on that week’s game plan/opponent/injuries. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I hope they continue to use him situationally in the run game. He was a lot of fun in that role last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
