Takitaki could come out of nowhere and be great this year. He was hurt for a long time last year with a leg muscle. That's why he only started to see the field as a defender towards the end of the year and he probably wasn't full speed even then. Go back and watch the dude play at BYU. He's got HUGE potential.
EW is a good sports reporter and I enjoy his analysis. Agree that the emphasis this off season is strengthening the OL and developing TE room. The defense is still relatively weak and will be worked on in the future
We just need to find a way to play together and play well with a great game plan. Good teams prevail even with weak spots, us browns fans need to chill the hell out, im anxious for this season too and i hope we have a winning season for once. But this demand that an Olympic dream team is ridiculous, it is financially impossible to have pro bowlers at every single position. Have a good game plan, manage the clock, and if they help on D and pick each other up and keep fighting we will have a good chance every game.
if they can run the hell out of the ball the D is off the field . if there fresh late in the game with a big lead . the D is fine . it is up to the coach to set up the game plan to get the wins , teams go deep in the playoffs got great D . on paper browns don't have a good D .browns should be near 500 % again , but if the coach is great they can be better
Mack Wilson did well enough to be given the right to be a starter. Shobert was good. Kirksey was too old and beat up. I believe the secondary and the front line will be the defense but in all reality, I think the offense is designed to pressure the other teams offense. Chargers of the 80's?
I don’t think they “priced themselves out of the market”, the market was thin for LBs and they didn’t want to over pay for mediocre talent like we’ve done so often. I respect Schoebert but $50 million? No.
That said, we are hopefully not done in LB acquisitions and desperately need a couple more talented players.
Sean Lee trade?
Our LB ranking has to be near the bottom if not the worst…
Mack Wilson is the Sam not the Mike. Goodson is the Mike not the Will, and Sione Takitaki has not seen the field enough to be anything, and if we're pencilling him in that depth chart as first team anything, we're in deep doo-doo. We have two linebackers, neither of whom have distinguished themselves at all. Everyone else in the room is a complete fringe player. This will be 2020s offensive tackle issue if they don't fix it right away.
Remember Ray Farmer telling everyone that the Browns don't need "No Stinkin' Wide Receivers!" This looks exactly like that IMHO.
i hear Ray Lewis is coming out of retirement to help his former former team
This is going to be our big issue this year w this team
Very very very bad wtf r they waiting for as far as bringing in other guys
Mac Jacob Phillips n takitaki I think they will be just fine as long as they can tackle n make plays they will be just fine.
We have never had a scary linebacker not since returning to the NFL.
The Browns are such a joke lmao
Good everyone call out these guys – give them a chip on their shoulder they will be fine!

If youre a journalist and you know youre going to be doing interviews over the internet, please buy a decent microphone.

Will the players buy in and work hard? For me that is the question, the talent is there, this team can win. GO BROWNS!
You need a veteran in the room. I hear the backer we cut for his stock dealings is available. We should grab him.
They are going to miss Schobert. He was all over the field making tackles last season.
Wilson and takitaki are the only pieces i trust right now and that isnt even saying much

We need an experienced LB. If nothing else but to school the young guys on how to play.
Can we stop with this dumb reporting. I’m sure we’ll bring some more guys in. Just chill.
They have none!!! Stop being a homer and tell the truth. Both of your starting linebackers are gone. Do you know how significant that is in the NFL?
Takitaki has to be some what good because the new regime didn’t get a replacement for him

Mack Wilson will ball out next season
