The Gipper Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 How are we razor thin at Wr? Gordon, Little, Benjamin, Bess, Nelson, and Cooper. None are "hurt", with the exception of Nelson who is rehabbing from an old injury. Factor in Cameron, Davis and Barnidge who will, at some point, be flexed out and we're fine. Yea, if they were thin at those positions, then why did they just ditch a number of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAFBF Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 I see that this FO is divesting itself of the marginal Heckert/Holmgren guys with Miller and Marecic out. Marecic, sure. I wasn't sure Miller was that bad....more hurt than bad. But they certainly have whittled down that WR corps: Roberson/Norwood/Croom+Tannahill Looks like Tampa Bay picked up Norwood, not a bad move if he can stay healthy. Also, we cut Trevin Wade.

Like I said, these guys want to ditch any later round Heckert selections. Like the CB we picked up? Is he really better than Wade....or is just one of "our guys". In there mind, perhaps, the new guy is better because they picked him, not necessarily because he is actually better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miktoxic Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Yes and Yes. Hardesty collects a check until he's healthy, then he will, in all likelihood, be cut. Zombo until b. jackson goes down. talk about suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombo Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Oby is going to be a big part of this offense. Jackson is the third guy. Really, there aren't many carries after that ... We are talking about special teamers. Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoeticG Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Richardson will carry the load. The more and more that he proves durable during game time and as throughout the game it will be harder and harder to get him to come out the game. He will be taking 90% of 1st through 3rd downs by mid-season. Smelley will be the FB as well. Obi will spell Richardson and Smelley after they've gotten their 150 yards per game.

ATENEARS Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 I dont post on here much, because people think I spam the site, but I can confirm both of these cuts I talked to both of them earlier. They were released 2 hours ago. http://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/articles/browns_release_preseason_hero_cordell_roberson/14377112 She spams the forum by linking her own website here instead of just telling us who "both" of them are that were cut. I'd advise all to not click on links such as the one provided, they could be unsafe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClevelandBigDawg Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 I wouldn't mind taking a shot at Beanie with the injuries to our RBs. I also wouldn't mind Joe McKnight. Two very different style runners, but backs that have actually played in the league and somewhat produced when healthy. Not like either player would see many touches, but I think it could be worth a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAFBF Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 Latest on Browns Roster: Browns' final roster may lean heavily on waivers Read more: http://www.cantonrep.com/browns/x1837079045/Browns-final-roster-may-lean-heavily-on-waivers#ixzz2dVUYW1V3 Banner and Chudzinski are saying emphatically what Lombardi, who seldom comes up for air in public, is not. That is, Cleveland will play the waiver wire hard. Could be a bit different Team than what we went through the Pre-Season with. Personally, I wouldn't mind us picking up a good RB (since we lost Lewis), CB, an RG if available. Could be an interesting Weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shep Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 With Gordon out for two games and Nelson cut ("just not ready to play"), we are actually a little thin. Bess hasn't been practicing for a while now. Guys like Cooper and/or Gurley are gonna be on the roster. But our hugest hole is at backup running back. As in, Jackson sucks and we don't actually have one. Can't say right guard because both Cousins and Gilkey have played well and Pinkston and Lauvao aren't out for very long. Corner looks a little disturbing because McFadden has sort of sucked playing out of his normal style (he's a pure man-to-man cover guy who started about 48 games like that in a passing conference). My only reason to relax a little there is Owens and Skrine have both played well, Owens has been dinged, and both Gipson and Bademosi can step up and cover big WRs. I expect at least one trade and a few waiver signings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calfoxwc Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 I figure the Bears won't cut that smallish rb that played against us well... but if they do, I'd sign him to replace Dion Lewis this year in a NY second.

Tim Couch Pulls Out Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 I'm upset at the Gurley cut. He's more reliable than Nelson (cut), a better physical specimen than Norwood (cut) and has more upside than Cooper (somehow still on the roster). Would be a good practice squad player if he clears.
