Can Cross handle Myles Garrett?

[glenwo2]

Browns required a clause in the trade that Rams cannot trade Garrett to one of the Browns’ division rivals before 2029. That’s funny.

Rams would forfeit their 2029 1st pick to the Browns if they do. This also means Rams can’t deal that pick before then ( I think).

That's absolutely wild.

Hell yeah Cross can handle Garrett. Myles will have to work against our tackles and Barner is considered the best blocking tight end in football. Outside zone to keep Garrett honest and off kilter

Here's a perfect example of just how Cross can handle Garrett. It's a great breakdown of Cross's last meeting against Garrett back in 2023 (I timestamped it to the moment I'm mentioning) :

Nice video, thank you for posting. When I started this thread in 2023, I thought and hoped that Cross could use his athleticism to counter Garrett's quickness.

Uhh, no

Nobody "handles" Myles Garrett. Even Trent Williams.

You mediate that with scheme. You don't let him wreck the gameplan.

Uhh, no

Yeah...not sure where that one came from.

What's the over/under?

You simply run routes to take advantage of aggressive pass rushes, run directly at him, or completely away etc. Players that move on like Garrett commonly burn out after the initial excitement of going to a good team. Let him come out with excitement and wear him down just like any other player. PS, would be nice to have Walt at LT, He and Gray would make him cray.

I assume you saw the vid I provided, right?

This is why I'm confident that the Hawks will "handle" Garrett.

Not just because Cross can keep him in check but because MacDonald will help scheme things (with Benton) to also keep him in check.

Cross is rated better than Williams at this stage their career considering age difference. As good as Garrett is they lost a freak in a much younger Jared Verse. The chances of the Rams going through the season with a healthy Stafford are 50/50 and their schedule is daunting. They'll be lucky to win 11 games tbh

I’m not saying Garret isn’t great…he is imo. But, 11 sacks vs three teams or something like that?

To give up Verse?

Cleveland has done some super dumb sh*t in the past but imo, they won this trade.

Cross will handle Garrett just fine.

Lotta hype…results will speak for themselves.
