Did you just compare a pro bowler like Grimes to a journeyman scrub like Quentin Groves? Please rethink this statement. We need to see what we have @ LB already not add new iffy parts.

Wheeler and Ellerbe deserve another year to show what they truly have.

NO , all he is saying is look how well Grimes turned out , he was injured , and how many sacks did our boy wheeler had last year ? he was making a point that just because a player is released dosent mean that they dont have talent >? and as i said when i started this thread is they should take a look at these 2 players NOT Sign them , (Kick the tires ) The Browns are loaded at most possions , but i would Take 6.5 sacks all day long over wheeler right about now .

That's my thinking as well. Give the coaches more time to see what they have and, if need be, look for better value on late cuts or maybe even a trade. We do have plenty of money available.

Wheeler had only 1 sack last year but 27 total QB pressures, putting him at #3 of all 4-3 OLB's. The year before, he had 3sacks and 30 pressures which was second of 4-3 OLB's. That was not his problem. His coverage and run D taking a nose dive from the year before, on the other side, were. Also, his missed tackles doubled in 2013 from 9 (average) to 18 but 10 were in 2 horrible games. He does have some talent.

I'll rethink the statement after you reread the post.
 
Groves was a pass rush specialist... who could not get to the passer?
 
Groves is more a pass rush specialist and 34 fit anyways...and you'd be adding someone who could potentially take snaps away from dion Jordan in the sub package...

It's just not a need for Miami...barring an injury in the two deep...and even then you'd have to hide it in our d on early downs...doesn't make sense
 
If I'm remembering Groves right as the athletic pass rusher out of Auburn I have to admit I was enthusiastic about him coming out of the draft. Boy was I wrong on that one. He just isn't a fit right now. Grant is a Meh to me. I don't mind a nice vet pickup at mike but I don't see it here.

If the Browns don't want them why the hell should Miami. If they can't make the Browns....that should tell ya something

like a player who did not perform on one team never ever produced on his new team with a fresh start
