And that's exactly where the new fracture appeared according to Payton, right at the base of the previous one. That makes sense.

He's a rookie. He will get it figured out.

I keep screaming about Willims too. That kid is serious at safety.

Tell you which LB impressed me most in Browns game was Teo. Dude was active and quick to the ball.

I read somewhere that three years ago our fastest LB ran a 4.69 40. This year's squad all have times faster than that. Nolan should have these guys wreaking havoc.

one preseason game down and way to early to judge

Nice to hear some good news about linebackers. I just want the preseason to end. Right now.

Nothing but a money grabbing, injury causing, waste of time for these players that the NFL insists on. Practice and scrimmages are all they need.

Alright, that was my annual "preseason sucks" rant. Hope we stay healthy.

I read that too and it should make a huge difference, especially when covering TEs and Swinging RBs.

Your 100% right. There was a rookie pole and I had to pick one, he was it. I did like the way he finished plays though in that game and he hit hard. I do like this kid though.

I can see that with how quick teo hits the hole. Good angles. Interested to see if he can keep that up
