according to this hurney was at the browns/packers game scouting one of the browns DTs. sounds like he listened to beason...

sry if this has been posted, i looked and didn't see anything about it

I was just about to post the same thing and according to the observer he was out to scout Corey Williams. I am extremely excited about this kid after I did a little research on him. He played at Green Bay in 07 and 06 and was an absolute beast. He had 7 sacks both years and Green Bay used the franchise tag on him after the 07 season then traded him to the Browns. He flopped with the Browns but only because he had to switch to a DE in the 3-4 and he also a a shoulder injury. He is listed at 6-4 324lbs although I think he slimmed down a little to play that DE spot, I've heard he was down to 310, he is also 28 years old and can play either DT position in the 4-3 system. Word is that Mangenius doesn't care for him because he doesn't fit well in the 3-4 and they would be willing to part with him.

If Williams could get back in the 4-3 with Peppers, Johnson, Brown, Brayton, and Lewis then I think he could get back to the 45 tackle 7 sack seasons he had with Green Bay. Oh and don't forget the quality linebackers he would be protecting, Beason could run around again and make a ton of plays. Can you imagine the impact he would have on this defense, how drastically we would improve overnight??? I'm telling you, if Hurney can pull this off it could potentially be even better than the Chris Harris trade. I would be willing to part with a 4th or 5th rounder for this guy.

True but that's probably who they were looking at. I just don't know what we can give up to get him. I really like the guys we've got on the roster and I'm sure Hurnery does too, so it most certainly has to be a draft pick but a 3rd seems a little high for guy we are not sure could help right away.

Thats a very good point. I couldn't find it anywhere else except Charlotte Observer, not even on the cleveland news paper mentione in the report. Williams didn't start against the Packers and only played about 3 plays on the first couple series. Not sure if it is him but I guess he makes the most sense out of anybody. I wish the Observer would follow up with their freakin story. Anyways, a 4th or 5th round pick for a backup who they might release anyways is a pretty fair deal I would say.

    • These are the three deep throw attempts that Will Levis made in week 12. His first one is a beauty; Levis and Westbrook-Ikhine gets the safety to bite on a deep dig only to go over the top for the score. His second throw is another beauty: a crosser to Calvin Ridley reminiscent of Bryce to XL (though Ridley has noticeably more separation on his route). His third and final deep shot was an incompletion from his own endzone on 3rd & 14 with pressure coming down on him (to me, this seems like a solid throw).   Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-02.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Levis took half of the deep shots that Young did. The differences are: Ridley had much better separation than XL, which is why his deep crosser turned into a 63yd play since he was able to scamper for another 15+ after the catch. Westbrook-Ikhine holds on to his TD pass. Bryce had to throw one away to preserve time for a field goal. Bryce had two more throws that were incomplete due to the WR Are we really holding the three WR errors and clock management decision against Bryce in order to say that Will was better throwing deep in week 12? That's not passing the eye test nor is it confirmed by the data.
    • If you go on the PUP list before the season starts, you are gone for the year. If you start the year on the PUP list then you can get off of it. Kind of semantics, but we are putting him on the PUP list now which is before week 1, that’s why people who come off of it aren’t really on the PUP list until week 1, hence you usually hear right before the season that they are “starting the year” on the PUP list. I think PUP list and IR may basically be the serve the same purpose now because you also sometimes hear that if a player is added to the IR before week 1 that they aren’t eligible to come off the IR list for the entire year. Now, everyone added to IR (post week 1) can come off after 4 (or more) games so the PUP list is meaningless since it’s 6 games and starts at week 1. Anyone added to PUP or IR in the preseason is gone for the year.
