wargograw Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 I think 6-foot is ideal for a WR. The bigger guys aren't as quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian Kirk | WR | Texas A&M | Junior Kirk lacks ideal No. 1 wideout size at 5-foot-11 and 200 pounds, but he has moments reminiscent of the similarly sized Odell Beckham Jr. and Antonio Brown. Kirk has blazing speed and explosive cutting ability, which makes him nearly impossible to tackle on the first try in the open field. As a freshman in 2015, he had 80 catches for 1,009 yards with seven receiving touchdowns. Last year, he reeled in 83 passes for 928 yards with nine scores.

I wish he would go thru rehab., join with JM @ Hamilton and then go back into the NFL as a package deal. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorial_Green-Beckham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best passing QB broke his leg at the end of the first half in the very first game. He returned late in the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirk got about 12 targets a game. Hard to NOT throw up stats with that kind of usage, and indeed I could argue the stats are low considering. Beckham and Brown both play on the outside. Kirk never has. Christian has made some pretty clutch plays (especially this past year), but he messes up many of the routine ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calfoxwc Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 ah, you've watched him more than me, then. I guess it's just that he does have "moments", that's all I've seen of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all, coaching the Browns is a difficult as taking the Kobayashi Maru test. The no win situation...which the Browns are in. We need a guy that can, if nothing else....cheat his way to success!

thenew23 Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 I like Miller. We really have 2 receiving needs: 1- a true, reliable redzone weapon; and 2- a shifty slot-type guy who gets off the ball, gets open, and has solid hands. I believe Miller could be the perfect 2nd guy. They tried to force Njoku into the 1st spot last year but it never seemed to connect; however, between him, Gordon, and yes... Coleman one of those guys SHOULD be able to do that... they have the talent, not the reliability... it wouldn't hurt to add another option, obviously Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
