I would have thought that Hardy Nickerson's number would have been much higher.

Beat out Big Ben, Flacco and Lamar Jackson. Behind Baker Mayfield.

Great article. Thanks for posting.

If he screams at anyone at all, it would be a refreshing change.

There are compelling arguments for both sides. On the one hand, I've never been impressed with Dre so I say cut him, especially since I'm sick of seeing him celebrate after a run of the mill play. On the other hand, is there anyone better out there to replace him? If not, keep him for now and hope the young CBs develop. I think a lot of the problem last year, especially at the beginning of the year, is that the defense couldn't pick up Austin's defense. To me, they just looked lost, especially in the secondary. Maybe with a new DC and a new scheme, the defense overall will look better this year.

My son is a Browns fan.

This.

Whatever his scheme, whatever his plans for the personnel, I hope he tailors (pun intended) the play calling and planning to the players' strengths instead of trying to fit the players into his scheme. I don't want to see Gio running up the middle and trying to be a bruiser.

When I originally researched this, I was thinking Pollack and Thurman but Pollack was listed as a DE and Thurman was a 2nd round pick.

I’m with you. I never have been impressed with him.

He’d probably be better than what we currently have. 😉

I don't know that LB would be a safer pick. Do the names Keith Rivers, Alfred Williams, Joe Kelly and Ricky Hunley mean anything to you?

Doesn't the NFL automatically give the London teams a bye after the week they play in London? I thought I read that somewhere the last time the Bengals played there.
