Kawann Short is a fat lazy bum

This is the second post I have made now pointing out a critical defensive play where Short looks like he is just completely half-assing it and could give two shits what is going on. We are terrible on third and long for numerous reasons but Short may be one of the biggest factors. It's like if it is third and long he just doesn't give a fug. My last example was in the Steelers game where the only two pass rushers were Luke and him and he literally tried to push two blockers for a few seconds and then just gave up and stood there while Luke was trying to bull rush 3 linemen. We all remember how that turned out.

Now lets take a look at this shining example of fuging piss poor effort.

http://www.nfl.com/videos/cleveland-browns/0ap3000000997265/Can-t-Miss-Play-Baker-rips-51-yard-TD-to-Landry

3rd and 17 and only half way through the second quarter. Short pushes his blocker and the blocker stumbles a bit leaving short with a wide open shot to obliterate Mayfield and KK just stops for a second like he can' believe he isn't being blocked. Rather than sprinting and trying to get a hit on the QB, he barley starts to jog and watches Baker fling a 51 yard TD bomb.

Just fuging cut this fat pos already I don't care what the dead cap hit is.

I don't know why he's playing this way

Is it doing it on purpose? Is he hurt? He's just about to turn 30, did father time kick already? For the money he's making, we need answers.

For the next 3 years post-June cut says dead money 4 mil, cap savings 13-14 mil

While that may seem palpable on the surface, you can't simply cut everyone and eat all that dead money.  Sure, you can ditch one or maybe two really awful contracts, but is KK really that cut?  I'd argue that Matt Kalil is probably a better target for a June 1 cut.

Honestly, we probably won't know until after the draft.  A lot will depend on FA and draft as to who we cut and who we keep.  We can look at the numbers all we like, but until we know what the actual options are, it doesn't mean all that much.

He's the best D lineman we have, and he's surrounded by aged and/or mediocre talent. Just like Luke looks like crap when the D line can't get him clean, KK looks bad when he's required to do too much. He's a great DT, but he's not really elite. He could look elite with another great DT next to him, but he's not really a game changer by himself. We should absolutely keep him, and surround him with youth and talent. I think it's true that Rivera has lost the players. Some of the better players on our team seem to be phoning it in. I can't imagine how frustrating it is to consistently hold offenses to a 3rd and long only to have Captain Munchkinland get beat over the top, or Bradberry whiff on a straightforward tackle.

Addison is a lot better.

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
