June 14, 2013What Barkevious Mingo’s Browns contract might look like
June 14, 2013Always good to catch up with the Browns observations with Nate Ulrich from the Akron Beacon Journal. Here’s all that we discussed.
- How good do you feel not having to talk Tebow?
- Bill Belichick out to prove he doesn’t have to talk about anything.
- Gregg Popovich and how he just defies everyone to do what he wants.
- Ray Horton’s new attacking scheme and how evident it might or might not be at this point
- T.J. Ward in the box a bit more, maybe like Troy Polamalu?
- Ray Horton’s Phoenix radio station and how it was going to mirror that of the Steelers
- Maybe Horton’s change in tune is to avoid player comparisons from Pittsburgh
- Josh Gordon and the league’s CBA that limits the fact-finding
- Dawgs by Nature post about changing to Drew Rosenhaus and the timing with the change
- Joe Haden and his change to Drew Rosenhaus as well
- Davone Bess and his ability to fill in for Josh Gordon
- Davone Bess replacing Josh Cribbs as the leader of the wide receivers
- Fullback and Cleveland Browns and Vonta Leach
- Leach’s agent talked to Mike Lombardi but no visit was scheduled
- No real interest on the Browns’ part
- Owen Marecic’s future and Brad Smelley’s future with the Browns
- Browns had two backs in the backfield a lot including Ogbonnaya and Hardesty together
- The Brandon Jackson signing and how weird it was
- The injury history of Trent Richardson and at the RB position in general
- If there was one position group where the Browns might supplement the roster, which one would it be?
- Chris Owens, Buster Skrine, Leon McFadden all battling it out opposite Haden and in the nickel
- Brandon Bogotay and his competition with Shayne Graham
- Expected player extensions and why we haven’t seen any just yet
- Mike Lombardi said it was “a little early”
- Moving training camp to 4-6:30 PM and how packed camp has been anyway
- Fan experience and how important it seems to be to the new regime

Interesting note from Ulrich about Ogbonnaya lining up at the fullback spot… that makes a lot of sense. He’s bigger than I thought as a running back… listed at 225 lbs. It wouldn’t be crazy if the Browns ask him to bulk up a bit and play FB, which would explain signing Brandon Jackson as the third running back.
I’m so sick of the media’s obsession with Tebow. Like the Kardashian of your choice and their ilk, Tebow’s famous for being famous. The media cover him so much because he gets so much coverage. The media is just embarrassing. Grow up already.
