clskinsfan Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Brantley screwed me badly in our ES mock draft. I drafted him in the 2nd round. I LOVE the guys game. Hate to lose Lanier but Brantley has the potential to be a real game changer. Our DLine is becoming sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a very impressive DL.     I agree that Brantley just has significantly more potential than Lanier...  the question is why Browns gave up on him so quickly... anyone know?

Might go read some random Browns forum and see if anyone's yapping about it.  Will report back, if my scouting report has substance. ?  edit 1: Talk so far is as such:  - shows flashes but is lazy; bipolar effort from play to play - probably gets cut by week 3  edit 2: - been reading the same stuff, inconsistent, lazy, disappointing - seemingly poor TC assessments from fans who expected improvement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCtoSC_SKINS_LIFER Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 I’m just going to hope that the change of team and being waived was a wake-up call for Brantley and this is the kick in the pants he needs to realize his potential. It wouldn’t be the first time something like this happened....we are just usually on the wrong side of these scenarios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Tater Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 2 hours ago, Alexa said: Picking up Browns rejects is never a good thing. If he was on the offensive side of the ball or we had picked him up to replace one of our top 5 DL, I'd agree. Remember, the Browns actually had one of the better defenses last season. Our number 6 DL guy is not going to be active. Young guys in the last 7 roster spots are your true development guys.

XxSpearheadxX Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 If he can't light a fire under his ass with Tomsula coaching, Allen and Payne in front of him and Settle balling out every chance he gets (I'm loving that kid) then Brantley can go play for the Jets with Pryor.  This is his chance, I am would hope to think he knows its more than most NFL players get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinsinparadise Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 I am good with this move. if Brantley has an inconsistent motor than he should be in a good situation because I gather he will be a rotational/spot duty guy.  Cooley isn't perfect as a judge of talent (no one is) but he's been pretty good as to judging the D line. He's called out just about every FA D line bust in advance. He was on the Ioannidis bandwagon from the get go.  I recall how blown away he was by Brantley's college tape that year. Heck between that and Nick Saban of all people gushing (also someone who knows D line talent) and Tomsula -- I'll trust it.  Keim said today he heard Lanier was on the bubble of making the roster even before Brantley became available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanguard Posted September 10, 2018 Author Share Posted September 10, 2018 Shout out to big Matt Ioannidis for getting a sack. Some love to Ryan Anderson also. He's already done more in his first game than he did in all of last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anselmheifer Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Can someone break down how the DL did in this game? I was working and didn't get to watch, but it sounds like we weren't dominant from a pressure standpoint, but were just solid, all around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
