Yeah this. It's no more complicated than this: Lanier could rush the passer well enough but if he had to play the run you'd be in serious, serious trouble. Brantley can do some of both.

I get slow the roll on Brantley. But let's not overvalue our own guys either - Lanier is barely worthy of a roster spot in today's NFL.

Reserve players need to be versatile. Brantley is certainly more-so than Lanier.

For what its worth, some mock drafts had him to the skins in the 2nd last year. There is a whole mock to skins writeup here. Pretty good claiming a dude of waivers that they liked anyways for free. He seems at least a solid rotational prospect. He also led the browns in snaps in preseason. Perhaps they were trying to stash him on PS as it was a bit of a suprise cut

He is a 6th round pick who was just cut by one of the best defensive coordinators of all time(IMO).
If Gregg Williams can't coach this guy up, I doubt he is going to have an impact for us.

Yea. He may be awesome. Hasn't busted a grape yet.

Looks good on paper but most made decisions do.

Wait and see.

I'm surprised nobody else has picked up on this.

It's a real head scratcher for me, don't understand it at all.

Jp Holtz is on the practice squad.

As soon as Reed goes out, we have a FB!

We'll be without him the last 3.5 quarters of week 1, but week 2 here he comes.
