Free Agent

Beast Mode!

That was not a Peyton throw at all.

He just overthrew it. Wow.

What a play by Irving.

Awful call

That was an awful spot

Unbelievable start to this game.

Yeah he must've edited it. The format was completely different with RT lined up to the left of WR1 lol

Ah I gotcha, and yeah that would've been pretty funky haha.

That would be the wildest formation ever

That's basically just the I-formation.

I love what Kubiak's now former players have to say about him. All good stuff.

Sounds like Dennison is really the assistant OC rather than a QB coach.

Exactly. It's more about Kubiak and Dennison being able to continue to work together.

 John McClain gave his thoughts on choosing between Rick Dennison and Kyle Shanahan as OC.

Ed asked John about Rick Dennison and John said he believes Rick is a very capable offensive coordinator candidate and the Ravens would make a good hire there.

 

John said if he was to have to pick between the two it would depend on what kind of coordinator the Ravens were looking for. John said Rick has coached so many positions and is a great all around coach, and that Kyle could be a great guy to work with Joe and try to get the most out of him.

Now let's add Kubiak and make it a trio. You got Kubiak calling plays, Dennison helping out with the RBs and/or o-line, and Shanahan helping get the most out of Joe...

If this happens, I'll be thrilled.

According to the always-reliable Wikipedia, Kyle already has the job.

 

Kyle Shanahan (born December 14, 1979) is an NFL offensive coordinator for the Baltimore Ravens and formerly for the Washington Redskins.

I wouldn't read anything into this, just thought it was funny.

I pray to God that Kyle is chosen.

Yeah...can't remember the last time I heard of a coach having a third interview with any team, if ever.

The Browns just did it with Pettine.

So if it's down to Kyle and Kirby, I'm taking Kyle. Yes, Kirby is a good motivator, but that's why we have Harbs. I'd rather have Kyle's creative mind.

They also had zero talent.

John Beck was seriously considered a potential starter at one point. If that doesn't prove your point, I don't know what does.

Norv is the master of Cameron, and if Cam's system can get us a 2013 SB, improved Norv's system can flourish our offense...

Plus Norv worked wonders with Antonio Gates and Jordan Cameron, which would work perfectly for us, since Dennis Pitta is a focal point of the offense. Not to mention he led the Browns to the 11th ranked passing attack in the NFL, with Brian Hoyer, Jason Campbell and Brandon Weeden at QB...he would be a great addition.

The more I think about it, the more I think Norv would be a perfect fit.

Also, finally got around to seeing Gravity. I agree with all the other assessments on the movie previously posted in this thread. The visuals and sound were stunning. Loved that aspect of the movie, especially since I'm a sucker for a pretty movie.

That said, the plot held the movie down. While I appreciated the ironic serenity that certain parts of the movie conveyed, those same parts of the movie tended to drag on. It just felt very slow paced, although perhaps rightfully so. Neither Clooney nor Bullock were particularly special in the movie. In fact if anything, Bullock's character was pretty annoying. But it was worth seeing for the visuals and sound alone.

On a side note, me and the friends I watched it with were waiting for the pen constantly lurking in the background when Bullock was in the Russian space module to play a significant role... which it didn't. Talk about a letdown.

Very good catch.  The Machinist was what I was aiming for with Bale's lost weight.   The Mechanic was that so-so movie with Stratham & Ben Foster.

Just took in The Machinist tonight. Definitely a slower paced movie, but yet another brilliant, almost-method-actor performance from Christian Bale. Without him, the movie would've been significantly worse, his performance made the movie.

Watched Ghost World today. It was good movie, and a good example of an indie movie before they were cool. Thora Birch was really good, she played that kind of character so well until she fell off the face of the earth. And it was pretty neat seeing a young Scarlett Johansson.

Yup, I think Adams and Matthews bring more physicality than Lee, who is just a little too finesse for my liking.

 

For those of you raving about Q's blocking, that's another area where Adams excels. I think he's the best blocking WR in this year's class.

That's a bold opinion. Lee's combination of excellent route running, good hands, and after the catch playmaking ability is special. Adams and Matthews are good receivers in their own ways, but I wouldn't put them anywhere near Lee.

Davante Adams is who you're looking for, I mentioned him earlier in the thread with highlight videos. Check him out.

 

Odell Beckham Jr. and Brandin Cooks are a couple other receivers who would bring something different to the group and should be there in the second round. My rankings:

 

1. Jordan Matthews

2. Davante Adams

3. Marqise Lee

4. Odell Beckham Jr.

5. Brandin Cooks

You prefer Jordan Matthews and Davante Adams over Marqise Lee?

Personally, I just want a guy who can get some separation and then make the catch. A guy who can be counted on for the ten yard, chain-moving catch. That's what I want.
