Maybe the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. Man I hope we don't miss Telfer.

I knew the offensive line was going to be a problem area this season, but just wow. How many more QB injuries can we possibly go through?

I never thought the o-line was going to be this bad. I think they need to try something different. While Greco seems to play center fine, the line was better last week before Austin Reiter got hurt. Finding a true center when Reiter can go to IR this week would help. Otherwise I think they should move Paszter over to right guard and let one of the rookies get their shot at RT.
 
I know some of you are going to be very excited to hear Hue said that Cam Erving will likely be the starter when he is healthy...and that might be as early as this week.
 
There are at least 3 NFL teams with uninjured starting QB's who have each taken more sacks/hits than our entire QB corps collectively. Either unlucky or our QB's are doing things the wrong way. After watching RGIII and McCown go down, I struggle to see it as once in a generationally bad OL play. Have they been great? Nope. Have they been 4-5 QB's played in 5 games bad? Nope.
 
Agree with Tony here. If the Browns come out of this season with some hope and still believing Hue is the guy, then it's time to SIGN an O-lineman, not draft one. Well, maybe draft one too, but don't rely on the draft only.

I realize there are teams like the Packers who pretty much only do it through drafting, but there are many more examples of success whereby it's a mix of signing FA's and drafting well.

I feel it is worth remembering we have Shon Coleman waiting in the wings. I don't know what the fuck is going on, by all accounts he's just not ready, but he's an insanely talented kid who seemed like a lock to come in and put up a fight for the RT position.

I'm just hoping it's not a wasted 3rd round selection. It's a little concerning he's still playing catch up to the point he can't earn time in a line that is getting everyone killed.

I hope we stack the trenches. DL and OL. Load right the fuck up.
 
I do think that as we continue to play decent football and show an upward trajectory, some good free agents will buy in with Hue and sign with the Browns the next few years.

No good, young free agents wanted to come here the last decade or so, I hope Hue changes that.
 
Jax didn't sign a lot of FA's until year 3 of the rebuild. Unfortunately for them, their new FA's are shitting the bed...but that is often the case on overpaid FA's as they just don't conform to the team unless there is a strong base/core of veterans to hold them in line. Look at Suh in Miami...he is often doing his own thing instead of playing the role assigned, and that makes the Miami run D look like a sieve.

FA's are fine. Get some. But they should be a player or two to put you over the top, or younger guys still able to be molded and improve. Big name guys are only worth the money if they are the final piece to the puzzle.

Bitonio is out indefinitely

Come on rookies. This is a perfect opportunity for:

LT: Joe Thomas
LG: Austin Pasztor
C: Cam Erving
RG: John Greco
RT: S Coleman or Drango

If Cam can eliminate brain farts, the line has big time potential.

Pasztor excels at guard play and run blocking. Would love to see that trap play for Crow with his big 6'7" m-f-ing frame pulling to the hole.
