Kiwibrown Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 One of the differences between Gordon and Malik is we can still play at a high level without Malik. If we get 8 good games out of Mcdowell and then he falls over through injury or personal failing we can move as a team. without Gordon our offense in 2015-2017 had very little.

DaWg_LB. Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Thinking about some Random Thoughts about final cuts and signings......MY my my, how our Browns have come along....so MANY of our cuts are on NFL rosters as either Starters (Hodge in Det) or Key Backups (Redwine /s Jets)......but her are some random thoughts.... 1. We only get 53 to lock in...then 16 that other teams can get..... 2. DT thoughts......now if WE didnt want Marvin Wilson back...then cool....after we made him the Highest paid UDFA in history, if he turned us down to go to Philly then to quote Smegal: But what softens that blow is that we may have caught lighting in a Bottle with Malik McDowell who was a high second round pick WITH a TON of red flags.....and we got young draft picks that need time..... 3. At safety we lost Sheldrick Redwine.....but our 5th round pick Richard "The Count" LeCount III is an upgrade.....with former 2nd round pick MJ Stewart playing the CB/S role...I think were good here. Also I really thought we might loose Jevante Moffit on a waiver claim....he had a solid preseason. Makes the Redwine loss, not feel so bad. And I cant blame him as he is all of sudden the top backup FS and SS in NY, till the kid from Cali gets back from Injury, then he will still probably be the backup SS..... 4. Loosing Hodge who's been with us working for some seasons, is a bit of a 😔, but I feel me all wish him the best, and if he came back to Cleveland we would Cheer this dude. He will be missed on Special teams, and as an UDFA he worked his way up from the end of the P.S. roster into a NFL player. And we cant be mad going to Detroit, he may be the #2 WR there.....and I see the logic in this as a cost cutting move, and his salary as the #5/#6 WR, with the contracts we have coming up........sad but had to happen, "In Andrew Berry we Trust" (THANK YOU Sashi Brown): (4 Cont) What softens the Blow is Davion Davis....I personally think he was our 2nd best WR in the Preseason (DPJ may be our #1 next year...he was making it look easy...albeit vs backups)...but I for one was thinking Hodge vs Davis is the Battle of Camp.....and when he comes back, I want to see what he can do in a game..... Every move we've made this Off-season has Rhyme and Reason......... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Higgins is better in his limited role, while Hodges does more and has a higher ceiling I'm bummed that we cut him. I would have been more bummed if we cut Higgins. I feel like on paper Hodge made more sense to keep though because of special teams and blocking. I hope Schwartz ends up being a contributor down the road since he squeezed Hodge out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buno67 Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 All I wanted to walk away from the offseason for the DT position was to find a legit stud for the future. We all thought it might have come else where but Malik McDowell coming out of left field has been huge. Hopefully he keeps developing because he was a monster this preseason. The scary part truly is, he did all that without the presence of Clowney and Garrett. He could carry that performance into the regular season because of the impact our DEs will make 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could carry that performance into the regular season because of the impact our DEs will make I sort of view Clowney and McDowell similarly as in they are hugely disruptive and great at beating their blockers, but not necessarily great at finishing plays. It seems a lot of Clowney's large double team rate is attributed to the fact that he just ends up colliding into more blockers instead of getting off clean and finishing with a sack. McDowell also seems to maul the blocker and arrives in an out of control state. In a front featuring Garrett, McDowell, and Clowney; it might be the 4th rusher and Garrett that benefit the most in terms of sacks. If we stunt Clowney inside a lot, which seems to have been pretty effective in the past, him and McDowell should annihilate the interior pocket. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
