We have Brown, bryant, juju, justin hunter and eli rogers. As far as ward is concerned mitchell is still hurt with no time table, thats the only way i see ward getting signed. Just like browns won't miss haden. Think both teams benefit here tho...Joe's good for zone, browns need a field stretcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 umm...so, I said that Brock would be our starter and that the Steelers would not trade a WR to us. I'm phucking brilliant apparently. I bet it was this trade that put the kibosh on Rannell Hall. (I wanted him on the team) --- I think I'm going to buy a lottery ticket and tell the cashier that there's no way I'll win --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gafreleets Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 Somewhat surprising. He wasn't bad until he mangled his hand. After that it was drop city. Maybe he makes an adjustment and regains his previous form? Worth the risk for you guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the same time, you'd think they could find a comparable talent on the waiver wire in just a few hours....for free.... I was thinking same thing? I haven't seen enough of Coates due to his lack of playing time last year (Brown, Bell, Wheaton) but having two Auburn receivers might work. I think Ricardo Louis was Auburn and haven't seen him either. We need a big receiver for Rookie Kizer who has an arm! Someone who's going to fight for the 50/50 balls. Kenny Britt fits the description and should provide veteran leadership we're going to need with this very young team. Kizer is going to need Coleman Britt, Crowell, Duke Johnson and a good offensive line! I wonder which tight end will be the starter? DeValve, Telfer or Njoku But say what you will the Browns are better than we think. Preseason matters for so many reason and I'm glad they went 4-0. Momentum, building confidence is a positive thing and will carry over into the regular season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tour2ma Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 The life expectancy of our "momentum" would be greater were we opening against the Jets...

Coates just wasnt needed. 2005: Fred Gibson 4 of 7 In 2005, the Steelers selected Fred Gibson in the fourth round of the NFL Draft. Gibson stood at 6'4" and had good speed. The Steelers hoped he could be the replacement for Plaxico Burress. Gibson survived until final cuts with the Steelers, and when he was released, he joined the Miami Dolphins practice squad, where he remained for two years. In 2007, Gibson signed with the Atlanta Falcons, and was released three days later for missing a team meeting. He then signed with the St. Louis Rams on August 6th, and was released on August 31st. Gibson then signed with the New York Giants on September 3rd to join their practice squad, and was released five days later 2008: Limas Sweed 6 of 7 When the Steelers selected Limas Sweed in the second round of the 2008 NFL Draft, many people believed that the Steelers had finally found the stud, big receiver that Ben Roethlisberger wanted. Sweed had all the look of the part, unfortunately though, he didn't have the talent and ability to stay healthy needed to go with it. After injuries in his first two years, the Steelers finally cut Sweed's cord at the end of the lockout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fact of the matter is if the steelers are good at drafting anything its wr's. Coates was traded because of that surplus. Argue it all you want, its fact. Look at the core right now.
