Nah it must've been a scheme issue or something with the Browns. He's way better than anybody we currently have not named Cameron Jordan.

The Browns didnt need to re-sign Robertson because they have want to build with Kirksey and their young backers but Kruger on the other hand feel is done maybe 2-3 years ago I wouldve liked the move but now I get a sense of desperation

Re: Kruger set to visit Saints

Naw I'm not sold granted he's only one year removed from a 11 sack season but I rather rock out with Tapp Gwacham & Edebali who actually had more sacks than him this past year it wasn't a scheme thing pretty sure it was a production thing he played both 3-4 & 4-3 in Bmore. How much more of a difference could he really make with us? maybe if he were going to the Seahawks cool but Id pass

Re: Kruger set to visit Saints

The Browns have MAYBE ONE proven pass rusher , so they aren't in a position to be letting them walk out the door unless they felt he isn't worth the investment anymore with production...

He was cut because of the players behind him potential and the lack of production on his part...If he would've gotten another 11 sack season this year he would not have been cut

I was sharing a article from the Dawgpound that you may hadn't had a chance to read.

As for Cleveland and evaluating players ....they hadn't had much to write home about over the last 40 years so take the Kruger release with a grain of salt.

Re: Kruger set to visit Saints

I rather See what Gwacham can do with some significant snaps under his belt....after re-watching the Steelers game the potential is there you have to remember he's a WR turned DE/LB still learning the nuances of the position...I say rotate 59&91 and use the money on the O-line...but I guess

Re: Kruger set to visit Saints

We have projects and long shots littering our roster on the defensive line and linebacker units. But I'd rather kick the proverbial tires on Kruger, than to have this McCain person. I get that they apparently think he has some untapped potential, but he has almost literally done nothing. Again, with as many projects as are already under development, I think at least bringing Kruger in and giving him a shot couldn't hurt. We need more immediate experience/production now to bridge the gap until hopefully guys like Edebali, Gwacham, Onyemata and now McCain are fully ready.

If he were old, I wouldn't say that. I'm not interested in bringing in the Dwight Freeney's of the world. Kruger should have something left in the tank.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.
