Cleveland Browns (2007 & prior)

I just read somewhere that Schaffer is definantly better than Shelton, especially in pass protection...

 

[The Man]

Shelton sucks so I guess Schaffer would be a very minor upgrade. And it is easy to judge Schaffer no matter if Vick or Schaub is playing QB, he lets everyone by him. He is very consistent in that regard......

A website I came across had Schaffer as the #9 LT in the league.

Just a huge day for the Browns, they have almost solidified their offensive line in one day. Great start to free agency.


A little info on Shaffer....

Although he struggled against speed-rushers at times in 2005, Shaffer is an emerging pass protector, as former seventh-round choice who made himself a solid player through hard work. The former Tulsa star moved into the Falcons' starting lineup midway through the 2003 season. A very good technician, and a player who figures to keep improving, Shaffer has played in 53 games and started 39 of them.

Oh, well that explains it The Browns wanted more consistent line-play ...

From NFL.com's Adam Shefter:

Seattle wide receiver Joe Jurevicius will visit Cleveland on March 12. The two sides seem as if they are closing in on a four-year deal.

 

[scarletngrey11]

Wow....

Schaffer is a good addition, and obviously so is Bentley...

We also have Trevor Pryce and Scott visiting today or tomorrow, and now Joe Jurevicius is visiting?

We are really cleaning up, even though I would like to see something positive from Lavar Arrington and that NT from Baltimore(other than LB, thats who I want the most.)

 

[scarletngrey11]

ESPNEWS just reported that Kemoeatu agreed with Carolina on a 5 year deal.

That leaves Washington, Grady Jackson, and Ryan Pickett as the last 3 options.

 

[The Man]

Schaffer can run block well, pass blocking is a little different story.

 

[BuckBackHome]

Imagine had Savage actually left as was rumored a few months back.

Could you imagine that? When I first read about that, I was really pissed.

 

[NorthShoreBuck]

I'm not much of a pro fan but didn't the browns burn a high draft pick on a ND center a few years ago? If so who gets moved to guard?

 

[scarletngrey11]

Yeah, Butch Davis drafted Jeff Faine with the 12th pick, even though I think he was supposed to be a 2nd rounder or something.

 

[NFBuck]

Faine was picked #21 overall.

 

[scarletngrey11]

Faine was picked #21 overall.

Damnit I got the numbers mixed up... Oh well.

Fact is he wasnt supposed to go that high.
