BadNewsBrowns Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 Ward is overrated by fans. He's a solid starter,not a great tackler not a ball hawk, below average in coverage. He's a hitter and hitters at safety are not near as valuable as they were 20 years ago. He's not a cornerstone player he's a roleplayer so lower your expectations and hope he doesn't get injured...again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cysko Kid Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Id like to see him lay out some stillers and ravens like he did colts buddy shipley. Why not? They'd do it to our guys. The Browns need to have a guy who can return the favor when a guy like Harrison hits one of our guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miktoxic Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 man i'm praying (and i'm not even religious) that this guy stays healthy. i think he was a solid pick for us and would like to see him support more against the run BUT love the guy.

HowieDawg Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 I'm looking forward to seeing this guy healthy for a full season - especially in our "newish" defensive team. I think Ward is loved beyond his contribution because of his physical style of play - who doesn't like to see a safety put the hit on someone? I know I love it. However I'm not sure he is a very fluid athlete because of his size (bit short) and compensatory bulk. I believe he was tried out at Corner in college but his vert was nowehere near good enough and he had pretty bad hands - so I think he will always be a physical style safety and solid in man to man but maybe plays a little deep to compensate for lack of athleticism. Still, I'm looking forward to seeing him back on the field this year. I'm not sure I have expressed myself very well here but my humble summary is he's a banger not a hawk.

He isn't great in coverage, but that isn't overly expected when you draft a hard hitting safety.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
