    I really hope he makes the team over the boring Grimble.

    He has SUCH a higher upside; I've been intrigued with him since the 2017 draft. 6'-6" with 4.5 forty speed and hands. In his short stint in Pgh, he has already flashed what is possible.

    I can't believe I'm saying this, but I agree with you WW. Hell of a blocker too. Run Bucky Run!

    They might keep him if Grimbles rehab is going slow, so IR Grimble and let Bucky on the 53 til he is healthy

    My hopeful prediction is that if BH makes the 53, after a few weeks they won't be able to take him off it. Maybe he finally "woke up" and is ready to fulfill his potential.

    Stranger things have happened. After the Watson debacle last year I don't trust Tomlin with guys who earned a spot

    I lost trust in him a lot longer ago than that.

    Yeah, all the winning is highly suspicious.

    A FULL decade since a RING. If that constitutes "all that winning" to you, God Bless, and you'd make a great Browns, Jets, Bills. Bengals, Lions fan. Tomlin ain't done dung rings since he had Cowher's team. And his mishandling of the running back unit costed us a ring, when all we had left in the playoffs was a breakfast bread.

    As fans of this organization we get really spoiled. I mean when was the last time we’ve had a losing season? That’s almost unfathomable in pro sports (in a salary cap league). Just because we haven’t won it all doesn’t mean we haven’t been winners. Most people don’t get to see their team win in decades, then their success is short lived.... Let alone being a Browns or lions fan.

    This type of argument sounds like the rich kid who whines about getting a Mercedes instead of a Lamborghini for his 16th birthday. It’s not a super good look outside of Pittsburgh or Foxborough.

    Who were they supposed to play instead of Touissaint in the playoffs? Bell and DWill were injured, how is that Tomlin's fault? It must be Tomlin's fault that Mendenhall fumbled against Green Bay in the Super Bowl :facepalm:.

    Was it 13 years before Cower won a ring?

    Cowher didn't have a franchise QB for his entire time there. Tomlin is ok at best but again, not an Xs and Os guy or a disciplinarian, he is a cheerleader. That means he is good enough to win enough to keep his job but lacks game planning experience to win when it really counts.

    Tomlin stays around because of Elite Talent, some by which he may have had some part in drafting and developing. Once Ben retires let’s see what his record looks like.......

    I don't know what the curse is, but from watching the show I learned Cajuste is very raw, has a shoulder injury and can't block very well.

    Every year there’s a guy on Hard Knocks who’s on the bubble, made to look really promising and then gets cut and disappears. I see it as like the Madden curse but for UDFAs lol.

    I watched the last 2 Browns games, Cajuste looked like he was healthy, quick and can catch and run.. Didn't really pay attention enough to see his blocking.. But McGee is hurt who blocks well. Not sure about our TE's and blocking, but a nice catch and run TE would be nice right now. He does seem like he is uber strong.

    I like Grimble as a back up. Don't know much about Hodges but we'll see I guess. But it'd be nice if McDonald took some calcium supplements. That's who we need on the field.

    Lame excuse, plenty of teams won Super Bowls without a franchise QB try harder next time.

    I often felt the same way with Cowher, that when things were not going quite right in a game, he never changed things up. Many trips to the playoffs but only made it out the other end twice. Still, I was (and am) happy to have the "Mercedes". I feel sorry for all the Raiders fans around here (I live next door to Oakland) who have been driving the same old car for decades :)

    I saw TE Clive Walford was cut, what's his story? Anyone been following his career?
