2019-2020 NFL Thread

Maybe I don't so much want MSU alum Adam Gase as a future MSU coach.  But maybe we need a coach whose wiring is all screwed up, like his mentor Saban

Steelers rookie LB Devin Bush with a hell of a NFL pre-season debut. I just saw the highlights, but man did he look good. All over the field. 10 tackles, 3 TFL's including a 4th and 1 stop, a PBU that should've been an INT and pick 6 - all in just 40 snaps. He started the game and was on the bench by the half.

He's going to fit right in with the Steelers and be a GREAT player for them for a long time barring injury. Knock on wood. Hell of a football player and leader.

As a Browns fan that sux

I wouldn't worry too much. I think the Steelers might win the division this year on the back of Big Ben, but their reign at the top of the AFC North is about over, because Big Ben doesn't have much left in the tank imo. Also: I'm not a believer in the Ravens with Lamar Jackson running the ball 18 times a game at QB. He will get broken in half if they try to keep running him like that.

Browns fans have got nothing but good times to look forward to imo. There isn't a team with a better roster 1-53 imo. So much talent and youth, the key for the Browns will be how they mature and learn how to handle expectations and learn how to win games and also how good that new coach really is.

That Browns roster is insane though. I think they should've tried harder to keep Peppers at safety, but when you've got a shot to get Odell Beckham Jr. you have to take it. 

Their WR corps is insane with BFF's OBJ & Landry. Their RB duo of Nick Chubb & Kareem Hunt is insane. David Njoku is one of the best young pass catching TE's in the leauge. Baker Mayfield is a stud. The OL should be a solid unit.


Adding Olivier Vernon opposite Myles Garrett to give them two quality pass rushers and getting Sheldon Richardson inside at DT was huge for that defense. Loved the draft pick of Greedy Williams at CB too. Just wish they'd have been able to keep Peppers. He was really coming into his own at safety.

As I said Peppers was solid last year,but ya gotta give something to get something.Browns LB's should be solid Dorsey drafted Wilson(5th rd) from Bama and Takitaki(3rd Rd) from BYU.Dorsey had good drafts in KC snagging Mahomes,Hunt,Hill unfortunately 2 of the 3 can't stay out of trouble

Houston Texans are shopping 3x Pro Bowl OLB/DE Jadeveon Clowney for a trade. Browns are rumored to be one of the interested parties. Sounds like the money that Clowney will want from a new team will be the hold up if a trade doesn't happen.

Just No one bad move and a lot of coin is wrapped up in nothing

if I was the Browns GM/owner, I'd throw my hat into that Clowney ring.

Myles Garrett and Jadeveon Clowney as the starting DE's, with Olivier Vernon and Anthony Zettel coming off the bench? Holy crap. That's quite the DE rotation.

Woah, Andrew Luck retiring

[MaximumSam]

Well that sucks

[MarqHusker]

I just lost a bet last year saying he wouldn't play again.  I was one year premature.

[MrNubbz]

Reacurring injuries?

one less above average QB in the QB driven league

not good

It's interesting how surprising things like this are to people. Dude made a $100MM. From one perspective, this is like retiring from road construction after winning the lottery. That job is continually hard on one's body. You'd have to *really* love it (and the fame - ok the analogy isn't perfect) to keep going after cashing in such a big ticket.
