PoeticG Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 Love this pick. Love his running style, he was born to play for the Browns. Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suomi Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 I agree PoG. I see a little of my avatar in him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudfly Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 Considering we were last in the league in passes out of the backfield AND we dont have a kick/punt returner.... Looks like yet another need filled..... O line depth.....check Run stopper.....check Pass rusher.....check Punt runner.....check Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calfoxwc Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 Thanks, PoG ! I never even thought to look at rb's in this draft, and I'm sure I'm not alone in that... but this kid seems like he could end up being a STEAL and could really make a difference.

PoeticG Posted May 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 The Ravens and Steelers are always running screen-plays and it pisses me off because we seems to hardly use them, maybe we have the Linemen and the Runningback to use them effectively now. I can see Hawkins, Gabriel and Johnson making teams pay for going all out on Manziel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoeticG Posted May 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 Very fluid and shifty. Soft and sure hands as well. Hides well behind the O-Line.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0HQY5mN5zA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiamat63 Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 Notice him coming from the backfield right up the seam against a linebacker? Very Ladainian Tomlinson like. That's the primary reason he's on this team, he brings receiving abilities Crow and West simply don't have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudfly Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 Yep....last year our backs caught only 30ish passes the whole season.....ouch!!! A lot of that is on shanny for not even trying, so lets hope our new OC see's things a little differently....but this kid will be the primary target..... West better bring his A game or he'll be #3 in a blink of an eye..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoeticG Posted May 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 And Crow needs to secure the ball, no more fumbles. That killed some important drives and made the game harder than it should have been. No turnovers, grind the rock, make plays in space, win games.

Mudfly Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 And Crow needs to secure the ball, no more fumbles. That killed some important drives Hmmm, keep hearing this, but he only lost 2 balls and one was on a bad toss from Hoyer....so im not so worried that he's really a fumbler, per se...

PoeticG Posted May 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 I don't believe that Crow is a fumbler but he did fumble a few more that we luckily recovered. Perception is reality sometimes so he needs to make sure to secure the ball... more securely? haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tour2ma Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 FO threw Po a bone... And the RB receiving woes included our sterling pair of FBs. Also Tate could catch... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAFBF Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 Never looked at RB's myself as I thought we were good, but some info : Adam Caplan @caplannfl · 15h 15 hours ago #Duke Johnson at combine. 5-9 1/10, 207. Mid 4.4s at his pro day workout. #CLEpick Adam Caplan @caplannfl · 15h 15 hours ago Duke Johnson will wind up being the starter at RB for the #Browns.. Perfect fit for new offensive system. #CLEpick Ian Rapoport @RapSheet · 15h 15 hours ago The #Browns took Duke Johnson, working him out during the process. They begged the visit stay secret. It did.

ITHIKA Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 Apparently hes the best fit rb in the 2015 draft for the zone scheme and its not even close. Check out the scouting report on nfl.com at the link below.

LondonBrown Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 Farmer spoke like he'll be used as the kick returner as well. Sounds like he fills a few needs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
