The Gipper Posted March 30, 2018 Report Share Posted March 30, 2018 I remember thinking that I thought he may be a guy that the Browns should have drafted. I think he is from a small school in Michigan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but in fairness it was buried pretty deep on an impressive depth chart. The few times I have put him on the field as a receiver he seems to produce. I think it's 63 running a 44 opposite Gordon with Landry in the slot he may surprise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gumby73 Posted March 30, 2018 Report Share Posted March 30, 2018 Welcome Jeff Janis!!..I remembered a cool video story on this guy.. (neither Jeff nor Wife knew gender of 1st baby.A family member loaded powder.Thats his Dad's backyard) just posted about ride to Dads to Michigan vacation & drive right thru Janis's hometown of Tawas City,Mi. just outside Bay City. Janis is another safe kickoff return guy with no turnovers. Liked his combine speed of 4.42 at 6'3" 219..killer 3 cone of 6.64...20 shuttle of 3.98..Carries some smarts with 30 on wonderlic..(hey & for those keeping score at home..He's White'ish) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hish747 Posted March 31, 2018 Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 Janis really stood out at the combine and I wished the Browns would have drafted him. He's got size, speed, great hands and runs great routes. So with all this, it was never clear to me why he wasn't the number 2 behind Nelson. I don't think he ever achieved his potential because he wasn't used properly. Sure hope the Browns use him the right way and not waste him on ST.

Maybe I’m wrong. I think I think Janis is good for 6+ TD's across from Gordon with Landry in the middle if they play him as a starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Cam’s move inside with the Browns is totally why he completely blows. It had nothing to do with his lack of skill, strength, or athleticism.

By this logic something went wrong with Brady between his debut and then regular season performances. We must have wrecked him by asking him to actually push the ball vertically. Cam's feet were/are trash, length be damned. Oline isn't even my thing and I saw that. Anywho back to our regularly schedule program - Janis at DB, eh? Physically it makes sense. Mentally and technically on the other hand.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiamat63 Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 1 minute ago, LaDexter said: Pro Bowl Gunner.... yeah, the "mentality" is there, even for Strong Safety..... Ever see Janis hit someone as a gunner? You have all these huge guys at WR and TE these days. Janis can hang with all of them. Size/speed/turning/ball tracking/tackling is all there. Mentally I meant by key recognition, route concept recognition, understanding his own place within a defense and where he helps/help is... comfortable aligning and potentially making secondary calls and shifts, mirroring receivers, etc etc. DB goes far beyond "big, strong, fast" or Taylor Mays might be the GOAT. That said, as intriguing as it is - can't see someone 4-5 years in the league making that transition after having played with a future HoF QB and being able to impart that knowledge and experience on this young team. But I've been wrong before.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure... novel thoughts are always welcome. Don't know about "parrots", but there are many of us here that break down tape, think for ourselves and disagree when it's warranted... and in the case of your stance on Cam, it's warranted. Preseason? Really... that's your argument? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tour2ma Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 21 minutes ago, LaDexter said: I still to this day cannot believe anyone who looks at Cam's body would put him inside. He really isn't even an ORT. He is strictly an OLT, and a freakish athlete before his injuries. We drafted him to play inside... where Les Myles put him because Cam was at best average at LT. We drafted him to play Center... a mistake, but an understandable one as for some reasons LSU's opponents never put anyone on his nose which would have exposed his lack of leverage... of ability to anchor. Since we're dragging up old work to validate our introductions, here's my summary take on Erving as a 2015 Prospect: His OT tape showed why a move inside was a better bet for his Pro prospects because it could not have hurt them.
