The Gipper Posted October 22, 2018 Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 The question is: Are we desperate to bring in another WR......or are the Browns willing to go with the young talent they have, like Ratley etc., and/or willing to wait on the return of Higgins. But....if they are desperate to bring in someone else.......who would be the best person to bring in who is available. We know 2 names: Dez Bryant and now Terrelle Pryor. Who else may be out there if the Browns do decide to go that route? Or, is it a case of just waiting for the draft next year and try to snag a top prospect?

Tour2ma Posted October 22, 2018 Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 Gruden seems determined to make the team over. I believe that makes three #1's he has for 2019. And buoyed by his 10-year contract, he ain't afraid to break a few eggs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion Posted October 22, 2018 Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 Pryor had a chip on his shoulder as a WR. We're 7 games into the season and have 2 wins. I doubt we'll be making trades with this season in mind anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see why we should give up on this season....seeing how hard they have played, and seeing this division...and seeing that another weapon on offense could make a big difference to the Browns. (not that I am saying Pryor is that weapon....but if the FO thinks he could be, I got no problem with it.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonBrown Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 Now been cut by the Bills after two weeks, if a WR can't stay on that Bills roster then well..... I know some don't like old players being brought up, they're gone now, but this one pleases me. Him and his agent acted like arseholes with us, been downhill for TP ever since Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zombo Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 I'm going to give Dorseey credit for signings he didn't do too, because this team didn't need a Dez or a Pryor ... They needed a Kitchens Freddie has done a nice job of mixing Calloway, Higgins and Perriman into the offense and allowing Baker to get them all involved. We also did some nice three tight end sets ... Reminds me of some of what Shanihan did when he was here, but now we have a much better QB in Baker over Hoyer. Calloway played 74% of the snaps last week, and watching him blocking off his man and directing traffic on Chubb's 92 yard run was a thing of beauty. He doesn't seem like the diva type, so when his head catches up with his talent he is going to be a terrific player for us. I think we will add another part in the offseason, whether it is the draft or free agency, but getting these young guys playing time has been invaluable, and seeing Baker develop with them has been awesome.

Zombo Those other parts can certainly be along the OL.....and at each level of the defense. 4 picks in rounds 1,2,3. Wouldn't surprise me if they go OL, DB, LB, DL (not necessarily in that order) WR may be only like 5th priority. Remember....Dorsey took Corbett high in round 2. I am sure that he still wants to see what this guy can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonBrown Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 Was nice to see an OC scheming the WRs he has available open rather than complaining about the roster. A new concept to the browns the last two years.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man that was like watching the twilight zone , unfold. Right in front of your eyes...It's uncanny when you think.. He didn't get the 1's all through otas , TC and any organized deals... Imagine him next year with a seasoned Higgins... a more dependable pass catcher in Callaway... I would like to think we havent seen the last of him this season.. Thats a hella lotta talent in one seasons draft... Nice haul for Dorsey... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrb12711 Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 We offered to overpay the dude based on what his actual market value was and he scoffed us hard. The contract Kenny Britt got (4 years/32 million/11 million guaranteed) would have been what Pryor got all day from this organization. I suppose part of me can't judge a man for betting on himself, but he gambled and lost. He lost the mojo he ever had here and won't magically bring it back.

Tour2ma Posted November 15, 2018 Report Share Posted November 15, 2018 Still early yet, but have to like how Perriman has looked so far. That said... I think Higgins is the key to our air attack at present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NFL linemen that false start? At this point, you can't teach stupid. Penalties like holding and pass interference are a 50/50 call. Linemen hold on every play, it's just whether they call it. DB's have refs in one game that call PI for touching a guy, then the next game they can hang all over people... KC is the most penalized team in the NFL.

Ever hear the phrase.... practice makes perfect? Every sport practices intensely. To do otherwise does teach stupid. Coach is just another word for teacher. Practice matters and shows.
