medicineman Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 After the first game I wanted to cut him but now I really happy we have him and consider him a weapon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl34 Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 Ben Watson is not only a talented TE but also a veteran presence in the locker room. If you notice he is a great cheerleader for Colt when Colt makes a big play. I think what we've seen of him in the passing game has been somewhat limited given the need to help the right side of our line but as that side has improved, he's released more into pass routes. I, too, was upset with his losing his cool early on but my understanding is that this guy is a true professional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLEVELANDwantsPLAYOFFS Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 he has to be our most valuable all around offensive target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gips Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 Watson is one of the very few legit weapons colt has at his disposal, i think he is an outstanding talent and am glad we have him on our team! And i am sure colt and hillis would say the same! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheClevelandSound Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 After the first game I wanted to cut him Why? I followed his career in New England. I would never want to cut him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medicineman Posted November 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 Why? I followed his career in New England. I would never want to cut him. Just like Earl 34 wrote he lost his cool at times early in the season. I thought he was slow and washed up. Boy was I wrong. I like him more and more each game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterbell Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 Another example of Mangini bringing in guys who are "About it".. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canton Mike Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 Just like Earl 34 wrote he lost his cool at times early in the season. I thought he was slow and washed up. Boy was I wrong. I like him more and more each game WHY did he "lose his cool"? Could it have been poor decision making & execution from the QB position? I think very possibly & that alone is another huge endorsement for Colt as I consider Ben Watson a "Pro's Pro". He is a wonderful addition to this team & a great asset to this young QB.

slowburn Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 Great role model for the younger players. Gotta believe his leadership qualities in the locker room and his commitment to playing hard and contributing on game day have been valuable in the steady improvement of the team this season. As already posted above......a true professional/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClevelandRocks Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 How could you think he was slow and washed up after that spectacular falling one handed grab in the back of the end zone during preseason? Great run blocker and has the best hands on the team. What else can you ask for from a tight end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brnfan16 Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 he has to be our most valuable all around offensive target. I like his size and great hands. He can block the hell out anyone too. Get Colt some more guys like him, spread the field and who knows what the future can hold possiblities are endless.

Harry Buffalo Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 I think we have one of the best TE groups in the entire NFL. Ben Watson is the whole package, he can catch, he can block, hell he'll even fill the cooler, walk the dog, and paint the front porch. Moore is a great recieving option at the position and his blocking is getting better, and to just show how the position has grown this year, or starting TE from last season is now our 3rd TE and he does a good job of blocking and is good for a surprise catch every other game when he needs to get it done.

MudratDetector Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 i remember people saying that both watson and fujita wouldn't have an impact. both have been great and watson has made our QBs better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosar_For_President Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 He's turning into Colt's out guy when a play breaks down. Great guy to have on our team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nw220 Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 Everytime i think of Ben Watson that play from the playoffs where he chases down Champ Bailey and throws him down at the one comes to my mind he is was one of the faster tight ends Of course afterwards Bailey said the only reason he caught him was cause he was from UGA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shepwrite Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 I can imagine passing downs next year with two TEs (Moore split out) and two WRs (like Broyles and Massoquoi). Don't get me wrong... I'd prefer Michael Floyd to Broyles... and I'd like Malcolm Floyd AND Broyles even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
