Miles, you know, this is what you signed up for.
Look, look what he did.
He played for a Super Bowl this year.
He didn’t have to do this.
I don’t know what that plan was, but if you played Red Dead Redemption, uh, 2, he got Dutch Vanderland in a pretty serious way, uh, because I still don’t understand the money aspect.
Like, you’re, you’re like today shows today shows why arguments were stupid because how many teams would love to have a player that can get 5 sacks that easy.
Every single team, so he could have gone out on the open market, or essentially what counts as the open market when you’re an elite player and negotiated another deal with like 3 other teams and have them bid against each other, but he chose the same Cleveland because Andrew Berry sold him on some plan that involves throwing for 2 yards a pass.

I don’t get it.
How did you all see this coming?
I know he could have been Reggie White going to the Packers back in the day, something like that.
They broke a Reggie White record today for the most, I know maybe that’s why he was on my mind.
It’s, uh, I mean, he had 5 sacks, 8 pressures, 3 quick pressures.
His average get-off was 0.7 seconds, which is absolutely absurd, absolutely absurd.
Uh, and he was getting chipped every single play and getting sacks.
Will Campbell was like, I could see Will Campbell trying different techniques, and it was just, it didn’t matter.
And like Miles, I mean, like, uh, you got, they’re talking about a zero step because you’re just slicing inside.

So what you’re saying is exactly right.
It’s like, he just can do this with, I mean, he’s got help.
I mean, there’s some other really good players on this front.
Carson Schwesinger had a great pick as well, ends up with a high ankle sprain, which is very Browns-like as well.
Um, but no, it’s just like, he, he can just absolutely take over games.
He finished with 5 sacks and it just didn’t matter.
It doesn’t matter, and that’s just like the same old story.
