Rooster Dick Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 This guy is fast, and has decent hands. Our WR core is very very weak. Avery can stretch the field, which is what we don't have. Avery and Little, along with our other talented riddled WR's could be very interesting. Come on Shurmur, Bring him home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gips Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 Avery may have durability/health issues and i would think coach shurmur whom worked with him would vouch for him if he thought he was any better a fit than what we already have or even if he thought avery could help out..

choco Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 Perhaps Avery leaving was on hid own accord....rams were stacked with young talent at wr so someone had to go. He was slated to their 4th receiving option, so he could want more playing time and/or money. Curious to see what shurmur decides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are talking about a WR cut from another NFL team here- not a big time playmaker. I would like to think Shurmur would know best if Avery was worth signing considering he knew everyone on the rams offense. If Shurmur doesn't want Avery- I don't want Avery. It's as simple as that..

Gholston? Damn, I want Ross Homan picked up now!!! We're thin at LB, he played at OSU, he's a great kid, my boss knows his mom, and so what if he's too small to play LB in the NFL??? And how 'bout that Brandon Saine kid? Ran track in HS, But no field vision and a stiff breeze can knock him off his feet. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choco Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 lol.... sanze seemed to do alright. its not always blind love....familiarity more likely the culprit. paxson was a pretty solid player at PSU (my alma mater), but i aint gonna shed a tear if we can upgrade the position. just want whats better for the team, and considering where one grew up or played ball has no bearing on the decision imo.

We don't have all of the information but we do know that he had two pretty good seasons in 08 and 09 in a pretty bad offense that was trying to find an identity. He then missed all of 2010 with an injury. So no he did not contribute to the 7-9 season last year. But if he hadn't been injured he would have been a starter and maybe the Rams win a couple more games. Who knows. If he can return to his prevoius form coming off of the injury I would be willing to bet that he is a better receiver option than Cribbs, Robo, or MoMass! The question is can he return to his previous form and stay healthy. I am sure Shurmur will vet this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's as simple as that.. not at all. i was suggesting that its really not appropriate to rip on a terrible team and the players they cut when that terrible team was actually better than the browns were. good players get cut all the time. players get cut for all sorts of reasons and its not always because they are bad. avery had a good season so he obviously is capable of doing it. and for a team with really no talent at that position, why wouldnt the browns bring him in for a look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't have to play the ravens and steelers twice. If Shurmur doesn't want Avery, don't you think that is reason enough not to get him?!

daddybull1 Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 A receiver needs a QB to get the ball to them.. For the past few years our QB's could get the ball to only the defensive backs.. If MoMas and Robo don't produce this year then its all on them... I think we finally have a QB who can deliver the ball.. We'll see pretty soon if our receiving corps is NFL ready... As far as bringing in Avery, I'll defer to Shurmur on that one...

choco Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 because maybe the browns do have some talent at the position.... at least our brass thinks so...so forgive me for not taking the opinions of armchair GMs that think everyone on our team sucks seriously. if avery was that good, he'd have been claimed off waivers....yet he wasn't....not even by his last OC. ever stop to consider why that is? huh? no? exactly. why does everyone else's shitty players get the benefit of the doubt that they're awesome from you people, but our shitty players don't? cause he produced a bit in a pass friendly offense with a pretty good rookie QB? its the same shit every year with you people...sorry if im a bit tired of the same old talking points and same bs about vet free agents and the lack of patience with developing players. in all honesty, most of you...most....don't have an eyeball test....cant evaluate other than using stats....expect perfection from rookies....or otherwise just plain don't know that the xxxx you're looking at. thats my opinion tho....

He actually did not produce in a pass heavy O with a rookie QB. He was hurt all season. He produced a little in a terrible O with terrible QBs. Still I would be skeptical as well. If we brought him in I would be fine with it ... but I am also fine with passing on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gipper Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 lol....touchy touchy. youre holier-than-thou ex-coach shames the entire school and yall still hold him up on a pedestal.... quite humorous actually...u should be honored to be mentioned in the same breath as usc and miami... OK, let's be clear about what Tressel did, or did not do. He learned that a few of his players sold their own belongings...which were gifts to them by the school, for cash or tatoos ...and he didn't rat them out. That's it. He did not play the rat. Is that inherently wrong? Absolutely not. Was that against an arcane NCAA rule. Yes. Yes, NCAA rule require that coaches be snitches on their players if they learn that they receive "improper benefits". What is a "improper benefit"? Whatever the NCAA arbitrarily determines to be improper. Shouldn't it be an improper benefit for a player to receive an article of value from the school for their performance? If a player were to receive $200.00 in cash from the school, that is improper. But if he receives a set of gold pants with a value of $200.00 that is perfectly acceptable? Why? And though, apparently it is acceptable for the player to have received that item of value, it is not acceptable for him to dispose of that item of value? What if a kid "wins" a pair of gold pants, then turns around and gives those gold pants to his dad. Then lets say the dad goes and sells them for a couple of hundred bucks and pockets that money. Then lets say the Dad a week or two later gives his son $200.00 in cash. It is not an NCAA violation for the son to give the trinket to his dad. It is not an NCAA violation for the dad to sell the trinket once he owns it. It is not an NCAA violation for a dad to give his son $200.00 So the real problem was not that the kid got money for the trinket. The problem was that he was not coached properly in getting around the arcane NCAA rules violation If Tressel knew that one of his players gave his dad his trinket, and that the dad sold the trinket, and that the dad gave his kid $200.00, he would not have been obligated to report it. There would have been NO violations anywhere at all in this scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

choco Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Jhuh.....absolutely right. Forgot about the bum knee last year.... Hopper....keep being the apologist....its amusing. Rules are rules, whether u agree with them or not. Such an upstanding citizen like tressel, who preached honesty and integrity, looked the other wat to keep his players on the field. That sir....is a hypocrite. I seem to remember when Carroll an USC got hit that most here were laughing, poking fun, and slamming them for their cheating. Now that the shoes on the other foot, its the NCAA fault. That sir....makes u a hypocrite. What's this mean? The higher standard u thought was Isuzu was just a farce....ur no better than the cheaters that get caught and punished accordingly. Deal with it....ur the big tens Miami.
