More Browns..
Just a couple additions to the last post regarding the Browns' free agent signings:
1. Its just so nice to see the Browns place a priority on the offensive line for the first time since I was a kid during the Marty Schottenheimer era. Quarterbacks getting crushed and running backs struggling for two-yard gains have become all-too-familiar sights for the Browns. Maybe they are really starting to "get it."
2. The Browns went on to add DT Ted Washington and punter Dave Zastudil to complete the weekend.
I love the Zastudil signing. Another local product and as much as I had fallen in love with the Kyle Richardson "7-yard special," its time to bring in a real punter.
I'm not triumphantly sprinting through the streets clothed only with an American flag over the Washington signing. I realize he's better than a middle-aged former baseball player, or whoever that Fisk guy we had last year was. But what is the shelf life for 370-pound defensive tackles? Isn't WAshington, soon to be 38-years-old, already playing on borrowed time?
Whats more, if they add 34-year-old DE Willie McGinest to the mix, (a very real possibility) then the team will be forced to carry a full-time AARP rep on the payroll.
But alas, I'm not complaining. Phil Savage has already made this an 8-win team, and that is before the draft. Speaking of which, how many hours until the draft?
