Browns Sign Six Tryout Players, Roth Requests Trade

PrintThe Cleveland Browns signed six of their tryout players to contracts today. The six players are listed below:
- TE Ryan Moya (UCLA) - 6-1, 230 pounds
- DL Kwaku Danso (East Carolina) - 6-5, 336 pounds
- DL Brian Sanford (Temple) - 6-2, 280 pounds
- DL Martin Tavaseu (Nevada-Las Vegas) - 6-1, 310 pounds
- DB Matthew Harris (Arkansas) - 6-2, 193 pounds
- K Leigh Tiffin (Alabama) - 6-0, 209 pounds
Tiffin seems interesting, since he connected on 30 of his 35 field goals last season.
As some of you started discussing earlier, LB Matt Roth has asked for a trade if he doesn't receive a new contract. Is this an effect of so many players taking the front office's handling of the Joshua Cribbs situation as a gesture that they will be handing out new deals left and right?
This seems like a rehash of what's been said on D'Qwell Jackson and Abram Elam already, but some of these guys need to start facing reality. They are playing on a team that has not had a winning culture for awhile, and none of them were even close to being above average players last year. Jackson missed most of the season and you could argue that the linebacker unit got better without him. Elam was healthy throughout the season, but the Browns' secondary was still vulnerable. Roth is probably the highest on my list of our defensive RFA's because he was a monster when the Browns signed him late in the season, but that's all he had -- a few games in a down season.
All of this talk is probably pointless anyway. It would almost be a shock if all of our RFA's did not sign before June 15. Sure, they will have missed out on OTA's, but they aren't going to forfeit the money that is already on the table considering few teams are probably ringing our bell about them anyway.

A big group of us from college went there 2 years — 2000 and 2001. We rented a house right on the beach and about a mile down from all the party hotels and bars. It was awesome. We had a nice, quiet place to hang out by the water during the day and we could walk down to the parties at night.

I agree. People who drink underage (myself not included) do it because they think it makes them cool and rebellious. At least that’s my opinion.
The funniest thing is is when you look at underage people’s facebook pictures and they deliberately pose with beer cans in their hands as if to say, “Look at me! Look at me! I’m such a rebel.”

It can actually hurt you a lot more from a physical standpoint if you binge drink when you are young vs. when you are of age, so that’s probably a great mindset for you to have. At least for now.
I didn’t really drink anything until I was 21. Don’t let anyone make fun of you for it.

Yeah, I wasn’t trying to generalize about the rebellious thing. People do it for obvious reasons but for many it seems… actually I honestly don’t know the motivation for it.
I see your point and I do agree. especially in high school, it is a rebellious thing. in college, it ends up being more of a social thing, though its not at all mandatory and very rarely is there a ton of pressure to drink.

yeah…most people who drink in high school are stupid…at least at my school.

I drink underage because i think its fun. then again I’ve only ever gotten sick once in my life, and i’ve never blacked out. honestly if the drinking age were lower we would see a lot less binge drinking and a lot more responsible drinking. the problem is that at 19 or 20 i can’t jsut go out to a bar with a few friends and have a few beers. i have to go to a house or apartment once a week where people feel like they have to take advantage of their opportunity to drink.
like the commercials are legally mandated to say, drink responsibly. being drunk can be fun, you just have to know your limits and remember its a social activity.

untrue. many european countries have no legal drinking age but similar binge drinking and alcoholism rates.
being drunk can be fun, you just have to know your limits and remember its a social activity.
the problem is that kids don’t know their limit because, 1) they don’t have experience drinking and therefore don’t know how their bodies will react, and 2) they haven’t matured. at least those who reach the age of 21 have a better chance of having matured more, although i know there are exceptions. its also been shown that the younger you start drinking, the more prone you are to problem drinking or alcoholism.
i’m a probation officer, you’re not going to sell me on an argument that underage drinking is okay.

I stand corrected.
I still think if you can die for our country when you’re 18 you should be able to drink, though. But I’ll leave it at that.

I would add that kids that young are also obviously having to get their drinks in when they can which i think also creates an unhealthy drinking environment (that sounds weird) where there is no concern for responsibility and alcohol is just a tool to get wasted. In my opinion if you learn to treat alcohol like that when you’re young you’re going to be in a world of hurt when you’re either in college on your own or out in the world on your own and making your own choices regarding alcohol.
Unfortunately like other things in our society the goal seems to be deny deny deny and then we wind up with uniformed immature teenagers trying to behave like they think adults behave.

I would like to see your information on this.
a couple quick google searches said the highest in europe was 44% and the third highest was 36%, with most other countries being in the mid 30’s. in america, its 48%. I’d say a 10% decrease in binge drinking is significant.

I think we’d also see that phenomenon with better parents.
A lot of the kids at school out here are of the “Mommy and Daddy never paid attention to me and I am wealthy and now I am at school so I am going to try to emulate Paris Hilton” variety.
At OSU “My parents never let me do anything, now its time to go nuts” was a little more common.

all you have to do to see the psychological factor at work is look at prohibition. drinking went up during prohibition, probably because the illegality of it made it exciting. thats what we see with america’s youth.
I also think it’s age discrimination. According to the government you are a full citizen at 18. why, then, do i not have all the rights of an adult?

yeah. I agree. I rarely drink by myself and rarely did it because it was taboo. In fact my dad had very loose rules about drinking
a) if you drink, DON’T DRIVE
b) If you drove, then drank, Call me.
c) I don’t care if you drink, smoke, or do any sort of drugs, just don’t bring it into the house.
when I was a teen, my dad told me stories of stuff he did, not as a suggestion, but just to point out that it would be hypocritical for him to oppose it. He trusted that I would be responsible and I never drank and drove.
Maybe it doesn’t have appeal to me as something taboo because it never really was in my house.

I should rephrase this:
It seems like the people that I’ve encountered who drink underage do it because they think it makes them look cool and so they can feel like they’re rebelling.
And again, sorry for offending anybody. I should’ve been more careful in my wording when I typed something like that.
My school’s private and has a strict policy on stuff like this. Not even kidding: if you go to a party where there’s alcohol and they find out (& can prove it), you’re expelled. Even if you didn’t take a sip.
So many of the people who do it are the “popular” kids who think they’re awesome for being so rebellious.
I went to a relatively small public school, about 600 students total (150 per class for the less math inclined). the school didn’t really care about drinking. if they could prove you drank at a party, you might get a couple detentions. If you were on a sports team, however, you got suspended for 25% of the season, but that might be an ohio thing, not necessarily school specific.
cliques were almost non-existent. sure, everybody had their specific group of friends, but everybody hung out with everybody, and that carried over to parties.

I think it’s players realizing that they are on a less than stellar team that quite possibly might be lining itself up for a bright future. I think they are hoping that they can get a good contract due to the lower talent level on the team. I think Delhomme’s contract is more to blame than Cribbs.

Delhomme’s contract is not a whole lot for a starting QB.
"Statistics are like bikinis. What they reveal is suggestive, but what they conceal is vital." - Aaron Levenstein
I’m referring to the fact that we gave him a deal and a starting position after his recent performances. I think some of the guys are looking to get good contracts based off of their perceptions of Delhomme’s deal. While some might see it as a hope that a once competent QB can return to some measure of his past, I think the players see it as a signing of a less than stellar replacement player, which in my opinion is how the team probably views alot of those guys.
I just don’t think they’re sitting at home realistically comparing themselves and what they did last year to what Cribbs did.
Also, on some level I think these guys have an idea that they could be replaceable and are looking to test the FO and see just how replaceable they are. I guess we’ll all find out soon enough.

I really don’t like the stance some people seem to be taking with these RFAs. “Who needs ’em?” Well considering they are some of our best LBs, I’d say the Browns need them.
The general attitude is more: they have no leverage whatsoever so just wait until June 15 and they’ll have to sign their tenders. The worst that can happen is they sit out the year in which case they’re right back to where they started. They can either sign a tender or retire. Not much of a choice.

what has Nugent EVER done. Look at the kicking stats. Suisham has been a better kicker throughout his career. Noodge had one solid season (his second) then fell off the map.
I bet you, if Nugent wasn’t an OSU guy, you wouldn’t be saying this…Neither one is that superior over the other, though suisham has a bit better stats in every kicking category. The only thing Noodge is good at doing is the easy kicks. after 40 yards, he is pretty bad and after 50 yards, just close your eyes and pray. He is phil dawson without the accuracy.

I was wrong, it wasn’t about health care. it was before the election. he told obama to “suck on [his] machine gun,” while holding an actual machine gun on stage.

Eh, I wouldn’t lose sleep over it. I think I have seen some outrageous political commentary of this sort at almost every concert I have ever attended. I am seeing Pearl Jam tomorrow and I expect something of this sort from Vedder.
I seriously doubt Vedder threatens violence against anyone though.
Dawgs By Nature -- where Hitler, apparently, 'did some good things'.
From wiki:
“The band made news when it was reported that several fans left after Vedder had “impaled” the Bush mask on his mic stand at the band’s Denver, Colorado show."
While not a direct threat, I think Pearl Jam and many other bands have probably done similar things.
the message there is “I would like to see george bush dead.” not “I am going to use this machine gun that I am holding right now to murder the president myself.” there is a big difference between wishingharm on someone and threatening harm on someone.

I’m not saying its a big deal, just trying to show it isn’t particularly hard to find a bad thing to say about him, as was originally posited.

I had a roommate freshman year who LOVED ted nugent.
He was really conservative, he used the N word all the time (after checking to make sure no dark people were around, of course), and he was really in to “being a man” and “hot chicks”. He was bigoted in every way imaginable.
But he had never lifted weights in his life, he hated football and almost all sports, I am pretty sure he got his nails done routinely, he giggled like a schoolgirl, and he wouldn’t drink beer so he drank wine coolers (because of course, being a man means getting drunk). He also refused to stand up and fight me “like a man” after he called me a jap.
That’s my Ted Nugent fan experience.

He seems pretty decent to me. Not sure what that has to do with being Asian though?

he was probably referencing how rufio’s roommate called him a “jap”

bross, just don’t respond to golanbatrac anymore. His subtle jokes are killing you.

I get it now that I gave it a second look. I thought golan was questioning whether rufio was asian and why it was relevant…I think I misunderstood what he said completely (whether serious or a joke)

The word decent is not descent. Go back and look at the series of posts now, starting with SB’s.

That’s cruel, RD. And, I agree, sometimes quite entertaining.
That's just noise.

gahnki…no need to be a dick.
I get it now that I gave it a second look
did this clue you in as to my understanding of the joke? well if not, I guess I have to say again, I read it again and I understood it.
The word decent is not descent
this is either
a) irrelevant
b) you being a condescending dick.

i think the most hilarious thing about all of this is that you claimed at one point that you were attempting to become an improv comedian, yet you are often the very last person, literally, to get the jokes on here.
that, my friend, is comedy gold.
As a comedian, they want you to do other things besides comedy. Write us a script. Act in this sitcom." They want me to do shit that’s related to comedy, but it’s not comedy, man. It’s as though if I was a cook, and I worked my ass off to become a really good cook, and they said "alright you’re a cook… can you farm?
getting a joke on the internet and performing and learning improvisational comedy are pretty unrelated and do not take similar skills.
I get jokes face to face, I just understand a lot and learn a lot from people by their facial expressions and tone, which plays a big factor into improv…
and people also misconstrue improv as “whose line” where they are just constantly making jokes. that is one type, short form, because the scenes are short. I personally like long form which lets you develop a story, characters, and more emotions. it relies less on the (albeit fun) “cheap gags” and more on developing characters on the spot and truly creating scenes out of nothing.

So what you’re saying is throughout this thread you’ve been developing a story?

I was not trying to be a “dick” at all. I was trying to explain it to you because I inferred that you still did not understand after this statement:
I think I misunderstood what he said completely (whether serious or a joke)
The joke had nothing to do with his manner of saying it, it was just a word play.

I know this isn’t Browns related, but has anybody here looked at the WVU blog on here (Smoking Musket)? I am very disappointed. Nobody really posts on it and just about every front page image is just beer and scantily clothed women. Doesn’t say much for our fans.

You would be good coming into Motown, we don’t mess with Louisville fans too much. (If that’s what your referring to) Its the PITT fans we hate
You would also be good coming to Motown if you are meaning that you may not have any memory of what transpired while you were there. The flashes in between are always fun that you can remember. Good stories to tell anyways.

it took me a minute to sort out which “Motown” you were talking about. I’m feeling slow today.
