BROWNS OFF-SEASON 2020

[MikeOC33]

Why is it capitized, though? It isn't an abbreviation or acronym.

Bugs me every damn year.....

Obviously it's because EDGE's play ANGRY, you @#*%$ &#$*! !!

 

[FiveThous]

I messaged the guys at PFF about the origin of EDGE and they said we generally have the right idea.

They also graded @The Human Q-Tip out at 44.3, worst in the thread.

Is the "prove it" meme still funny?

 

[The Human Q-Tip]

It's probably because that entire column is formatted in caps.

QB
RB
FB
WR
TE
LT
LG
C
RG
RT
DE
DT
OLB
ILB
CB
S
P
LS
Edge?

Those are all abbreviations. EDGE isn't.

 

[Out of the Rafters at the Q]

Those are all abbreviations. EDGE isn't.

You're correct.

That doesn't change the initial statement.

Am I the only one w concern that Becton couldn’t keep his weight under the number of degrees in a circle?!?
Guy is going to surpass the number of days in a light year, then before you know it, he’s playing at a weight beyond Juvenile’s 3rd album. I mean if this guy had a whole bag of fucks, he wouldn’t give one because he’d eat them all!

 

[The Human Q-Tip]

You're correct.

That doesn't change the initial statement.

Spelling it that way in a specific column in a specific chart because every other letter in the chart is capitalized doesn't justify all caps every other time the word is used. It just looks dumb.

For example:

Quarterback
Guard
Tackle
Running back
Wide Receiver
Defensive Tackle
Linebacker
Safety
Cornerback
EDGE.

I'm not arguing for capitalizing "edge."

Just giving you a reason why it may be capitalized at times.

listen here. Where you sit is where you stand. First thing, you start being Ok with such things. Before you know it, you’re defending it. Then, you are dying on that hill.

Our forefathers didn’t sacrifice their lives so that we could allow EDGE to so easily waltz into our living rooms and watercoolers. We can’t stand for this shit.

either the inventors of EDGE come forth with a suitable acronym, we go back to DE like it should be, or we take this to fisticuffs.

Edge
Defenders
Get
EDGE

It's clearly a recursive acronym. Get over it.

Exterior defensive gap enigma

 

[natedagg]

There are a couple of other ones that I don’t understand, so might as well get educated here:
X: this is like Ed McCaffrey? RB who can catch? “A guy you want to get the ball to in space.”?
What’s the position called for the in the box safety who is so badass he can basically play linebacker? M: missile.
Any other ones out there that are considered positions now?

The real question is why is edge gel all lower case?

 

[Lee]

The real question is why is edge gel all lower case?

Real question is can this guy play football?

 

[Randolphkeys]

Football terminology will always be very complicated. I remember when I was trying to make my 4th grade CYO team and asking my dad the difference between a halfback, fullback, tailback, and running back. Twenty minutes later I was questioning whether I should just join the school band instead.
