The hand of the NFL is (too) long.

All that blue. They should have given tickets away

LOL, they might as well air it if it's on the local station. That's makes too much sense though.

Now I have to hear guys complain about Smitty...SMH

Damn straight! Win in all phases.

"The Cleveland Browns' preseason matchup against the Carolina Panthers on Friday night just may be the most anticipated preseason game in NFL history." https://www.newsweek.com/sports/nfl/shedeur-sanders-sends-clear-message-ahead-browns-preseason-debut-2111031

"During an appearance on 'SportsCenter' Friday afternoon, ESPN's Daniel Oyefusi reported that Sanders will see a pretty significant workload. "'You should expect to see a lot of Shedeur Sanders tonight,' Oyefusi reported. 'He's going to get about 50 plays, so well into the second half before Tyler Huntley takes over.' Now r has received zero first-team reps — he's gotten the fewest reps of that four-man group when everyone has been healthy — but the Browns are resting their starters." https://www.newsweek.com/sports/nfl/shedeur-sanders-sends-clear-message-ahead-browns-preseason-debut-2111031

I'll take competent play.

I mean, wouldn't Slater be enough? That's a pretty big deal.

Not really surprising. Let me qualify: if Parsons really becomes available. Otherwise it's really a waste of time.

Hey, it won't hurt to link the article on his Twitter.

I don't want to do anything. But if Parsons becomes available, then he must be considered, period! I would bet the farm that Morgan has already inquired. So if supporting acquiring Micah Parsons is "wanting to make a splash move," then, yeah, I'm guilty. If you don't want Parsons at any price, that's your opinion, and it's an opinion that likely a substantial amount of Panthers fans do not agree with. Now, of course, likely a substantial amount of fans may agree with it, but fans aren't making the decisions. As for anything else, and even a potential acquisition of Parsons, it's all hypothetical, so there's really no real reason to get your panties in a wad over chopping it up on a message board. I've said many times that acquisitions depend upon the price---the relative value of the deal, and that opinion is not going to change. I've also consistently said that there's not one single way to build a team and that it's not a static exercise. I've always said this over the years, and if someone doesn't agree with it, then that's them.

All I got to say is, October 12th!

"I guess we'll see come cuts." I wonder what that could possibly mean.

I mean, it's "belittling" to mention that most Cowboys fans support Parsons, just like his teammates, don't you know? The way that supporting positions around here is framed leaves a lot to be desired. it's really gotten out of hand.

I came up with a post regarding our weak LB situation getting even weaker. It's not "brilliant," it's just a fact. The fact that you would even suggest that just goes to show that you have personal issues with me. Don't read my damned posts if they bother you so much. Have I ever cared if "few people" agree with me or not? But you can say "few people" all you like. That certainly doesn't make it true. The only person, and moderator to boot, that resorts to "this stuff" is you. You're the resident moderator troll to be honest. You shouldn't even be a moderator because you take things too personally, love to call names, and are obviously not even-keeled in temperament which is what makes a great mod.

it was a good decision. It was reported that the Panthers offered slightly better money as well. Some say that Washington's scheme fit was better suited for him as well. And to think, he was a UDFA turned journeyman...

You obviously have a problem with people making a point and supporting a point. The ONLY thing that I have taken personal in this place is personal attacks. In my experience, the only ones that question a person's intelligence and use terms like "midwit," are those that take things personally and have questionable intelligence themselves. I already know that I'm intelligent, and some twit on a message board isn't going to change my mind. If you don't want to discuss football-related issues on a football message board, then why are you here? That's a rhetorical question.

And, by the way, there is such a word as "inference," and the phrase, "reading between the lines," (though it has literally been said in this thread that Cherelus is easy to replace). But, I've already said that I doubt the coaches, to a man, would agree that Cherelus is so easily replaced. That's a simplistic notion in my opinion. This is the NFL, not some peewee league.

The point of a football message board is to discuss issues or potential issues regarding the the team. The point of the linked article, like any thoughtful fan knows, is that we're likely to pick up a linebacker because we need to pick up a linebacker. Moreover, the point is is that I ended the original post with, "I guess we'll see come cuts." As for Cherelus, this season now, if people think he's so easily replaceable, that's there opinion, but that's really not the point, but I can almost guarantee that the coaches as a unit would disagree with that point.

What I learned from this thread: any ol' linebacker off the waiver wire will do when it comes to backups. They all come with the same strengths and weakness, and are basically carbon copy throwaways. Equally of no importance, is their importance on special teams.

Show me where our depth chart, first or otherwise, doesn't come from the coaches (I wouldn't expect it to come from the FO). Who makes it? The media team? The ball boy? And, I think everyone realizes that it's not set in stone, but to say it shouldn't be taken seriously? I guess. Depth charts are a reflection of what coaches are seeing at the time.

What difference does that make? Are any of you suggesting that we shouldn't replace a backup, especially for a position that's already considered a weakness? Everyone wants to act like someone is Chicken Little for discussing potential common sense moves. That's what the Huddle has devolved to over the years.

Most of the Browns starters ain't even playing. No Jeudy. No Njoku. No Cedric Tillman. Frame it however you want, we have no business losing.
