Browns signing Ben Stille

Season 5 No GIF by The Office
 
Interesting. I know people on here liked him, but I never got the fascination with Stille. Not strong enough to play inside, not athletic enough to play outside. Scarlett is probably the frontrunner to replace Ogbah at this point. Shame Flowers hasn’t been able to stay healthy, he’d be the perfect plug in.

Scarlett if healthy is a good possibility. Just thinking out loud, if Fins want to add some beef to the line, Akeem Spence and Suh are still out there. Don't know what either have left or what the cost would be, but just runnin' it up the flagpole...

I think I was one of the first to tout Stille... and I never thought he was a potential starter, just a possibility as a rotational player.
...and yes, I am a bit surprised that we didn't step up and add him to the roster since we are losing Ogbah. Stille could have been a run down 3-4 style DE, something for which Scarlett and Flowers lack the weight to do. (Both players are better as stand up SSLBs).

I think Ogbah's injury may hurt us more than some think. Not as a pass rusher, but as an edge-setter... we dont have any real depth here.

This is a reasonable thing to be concerned about, but actually, the run defense has been very good even without Ogbah.

The Browns and Bears are two of the Top 5 rushing attacks in the NFL, and Ogbah only played 25 defensive snaps (out of 74) against the Bears, and only 10 defensive snaps (out of 67) against the Browns. Yet we largely shut down the running backs in both games.

I think this really speaks to (a) how good our DL play has been from guys like Wilkins, Sieler, Phillips, and Davis, and then also (b) how poorly Ogbah has played this year. We really haven’t lost anything without him on the field.
