Larry Ogunjobi Signed!

[NATI BENGALS]

How many guys have hit that giant DT/FB the Ravens have and made him fumble in the backfield? Like at 2:16 in this

More weapons for are defensive minded head coach. We need to appeases Lou Anarumo at all costs and build around him. In all seriousness I think it’s a good move but hoping we land Gollady/ offensive line help and stop neglecting the offense.

Can he play OG?

Since becoming a starter, Larry Ogunjobi has seen his PFF grades come out very poorly. 61, 56 and then a 51.4 last season.
How can a DT with 107 pressures and 18 sacks grade that poorly?
He's just incredibly inconsistent with his motor, hands, leverage, vision, awareness.

When he wants to push and work he can be a force but when he takes plays off it looks bad.

And that likely explains why he got a one year deal.  Good.  He will be hungry.  Seems like he is pretty capable when he is hungry.

I was actually hoping this would be our Geno replacement. At a time early in his career people thought he could potentially become Geno but his inconsistency has always been the issue. I like the upside here and if he can find some consistency we may have found a really nice piece here.

[Rubekahn29]

Well not as good as peak Geno, but few are. But most likely better than anyone other of our DTs besides Reader and Geno if normal. Not bad.

Are a few splash plays worth it if hes not completeing his assignment all the time?    IE more bad plays than good.

He was a better run defender than anyone on this team last year at DT, so you get the couple splash plays plus a better run defender.

Now wait a minute. I thought pressures was good? More important then sacks. Let's be consistent in our debates guys (and gals).

I wonder if he's Mike Daniels replacement or will be Geno Atkins replacement.

Mike Daniels seems really content in Cincy based on all interviews so I would hope we could retain him cheap.

Reader, Geno, Ogunjobi, and Daniels would be nasty.

I really want a DT drafted though. I was not impressed with what I saw from Daniels last year.

That would be a solid rotation, especially if Geno is even 75% of what he used to be.

They still could
Draft DT later, but I don’t think they planned on taking DT in any of the 1st two rounds.

Daniels is no longer a starter, but i do think he is a solid rotational piece.

If he generates pressure from the interior, it will go a long way in making the Hendrickson signing work.

We all want them to address the OL, but the reality is if we can get a top 10 to 15 defense, Joe Burrow stays on the field more and we can be more patient. The recipe of throwing 40+ times every game is a recipe for disaster.

Now restructure/cut Geno.
Cut Gio and save 4 million to spend on the OL (we have Mixon and Perrine) as the RB situation is better than our guard situation. Also, I see starting RB's getting paid 2 million on 1 year deals, why pay a back up RB 4 million? It makes no sense.

They also have Trayveon Williams, who is a more-than-capable RB3, if not RB2.
Between Mixon, Perine, and Williams, there is no need for Bernard.
Trayveon williams is a solid pass blocker, so he can do those duties.

Not trying to be negative because some players perform different on a new team but reading the Browns message board it seems the overall general opinion is he was a disappointment in a Cleveland. For what it’s worth that is just fan speak but I find usually the fans of a team aren’t far off. Assuming you read more than just a few comments. It’s always interesting to see how that turns out.

So far....
Steelers fans really like Mike Hilton. One fan said him going to division foei is a nightmare. Lol

Cowboys fans were so so on Awuzie as feelings seemed a little mixed for the most part but not sad to see him go.

Hendrickson was really liked by the fans. Say he has a high motor. Most say we overpaid but generally that’s how it goes in the early days of free agency. Kinda the nature of the beast,

I know it doesn’t mean much but I like to read other teams fan bases reactions. For example Cardinals fans in general not too excited about the AJ Green signing.
