I'll say this regarding Erving.
I give the Browns staff credit for coaching OL, but it's almost impossible to be as bad as Erving has been while being relatively physically gifted. Watching his feet makes simply no sense to me at all. I didn't even like him coming into the draft (the Barnes thread was the most involved conversation I had) but I never saw a guy who simply couldn't set his base.
He's regressed considerably. He isn't THIS bad. There has to be a mental roadblock that he's just not clearing. Something is ****ed up between his ears because there's no reason he should be arguably the worst damn interior lineman in football.
So if the physical tools are there, there's at least a non-zero chance that Heck can unlock them.
I'd still cut Jah Reid's ass. Keep Fisher, Schwartz, Morse, Ehinger, LDT, Witzmann, Fulton and Erving. Squirrel Mama away on the PS with Devey. If you lose another T, you move Witzmann out wide and bring Mama up as his replacement on the interior.
