He's been around the Browns for a couple years so he's been working on his craft. At this point we have little competition for the 3rd TE role so he has as good a chance as anyone. ty!

It's some kind of NFL program . Actually we have Eisien, he was born in South Africa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixote Posted May 7, 2023 Report Share Posted May 7, 2023 I'm a bit turned off on the Swift Sports Network. Some of his stuff is just too over the top. He still puts a lot of info out there, some of it interesting. He mentioned an UDFA, D'Anthony Jones we signed. Showed some tape and scouting reports. He had some interesting stats as an edge rusher. Swifty says he had the highest grade of any pass rusher in the draft? Also led the nation with nine forced fumbles over the past 2 years. Could be a total bust and an early cut. OR, maybe this is one of those UDFA that is a keeper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't mind that at all. I tried to verify this. It IS true he led the NCAA in forced fumbles last year with 5, and had 4 more the year before. And I did find another page that had him as EDGE #1 ranking, but I didnt pay the extra $ for PFF to see it firsthand. I did however see PFFs top 15 Edge players list for the draft, and he wasnt on it. He looks good in the little film Ive seen - love to take flyers on guys like these, but if he had the pedigree he says, he'd have been drafted. Deosnt matter now, he will prove it (or not) on the field. If he's got it, this team needs it and wont overlook it. And maybe this is another example of PFF grades being ridiculous?

PFF Grades are always ridiculous for OLine, and most of the defense. Once there are not enough tangible stats to correlate with, their grades go out the window.

adam Posted May 8, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2023 This is from his Houston player page, so I would assume it is legit, see bold: As a Senior (2022) First-Team All-American Athletic Conference Dave Campbell's Texas Football First-Team All-Texas Pro Football Focus (PFF) All-American Athletic Conference Appeared in all 13 games alongside seven starts on defensive line (543 snaps played) Tied for national lead in forced fumbles (5) Fourth in The American in sacks (8.0) Nation's top pass rush grade among edge defenders (93.1) per PFF Second-highest graded edge defender overall (91.4) by PFF Fourth in The American with 13.5 tackles for loss Capped season with sacks in five straight games Seven tackles for loss in his final five games Became 17th Cougar all-time with two-or-more forced fumbles in a game, doing so against Rice (Sept. 24) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger226 Posted May 8, 2023 Report Share Posted May 8, 2023 This verifies that PFF is just something to use for comparison and isnt what it projects to be. The highest graded PFF edge didnt get drafted. Literally had to have a tryout, was not a first tier signed UDFA. Now he may turn out to be a big sleeper but you cant put a lot of stock in PFF.

He is up there in age, but Kmet, Tonyan, and Lewis would be a nice set until they can address the position in the draft. Looks like the Bears were thinking along the same lines. I will say this will be the same reason ESB makes the team over Pettis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When GB needs to run the ball, they do it well. I am good bringing him in to be a vet to help Kmet elevate his game with his vetern knowledge. St Brown is also a premier blocking WR and have the same presence since I see the Bears having another strong year rushing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alaskan Grizzly Posted August 11, 2023 Report Share Posted August 11, 2023 Bears used their primary waiver spot (again) and grabbed Logan Stenberg (OG from the Lions) to help bolster the interior oline.

Stinger226 Posted August 16, 2023 Report Share Posted August 16, 2023 Dylan Cole is supposed to be a ST stud. There will be a few players kept because of their ST play. Hosmer is another keeper for ST. This roster is going to be tricky. By cut down day a few players are going to be an injury issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
