The Browns Board

  • 16 receptions for 186 yards in 17 games not a real good payoff for second round draft investment of Robiskie. Special teams contribution unremarkable. I agree, his days may be numbered

    Good character guy, and the kid does have good hands. I was hoping Robo would be another Brian Brennan type- but sad to say Robiskie is just too freaking slow to get any separation at all even from mediocre cornerbacks.

    I agree with Shep- he's not on the team next year.

  • IMO: The coaches are tired of Robiskie playing like a pussy, did anyone notice how robiskie made a half ass attempt at the stucky fumble in OT?

    Everyone could here Robiskie screaming and yelling... NO DADDY NO!!!! AND he went down in a whimper of shame.

  • There are some rumblings about his uninspired play (on OBR), that the kid is now mailing it in. Add that to a lack of in-line speed AND quickness AND size... and you have a guy waiting for a call next November.

    Honestly, the Mitchell situation is a lower visibility version of the Colt McCoy situation. No matter what anybody says, Colt's only chance to convince the Browns not to draft a quarterback in round 1 or 2 (say, Ponder) was to play. He did... and now the Browns seem to have their long term guy and he looks BETTER than Ponder, not a couple rounds beneath him. And I like Ponder.

    The Browns are going to bring in one or two guys at the top of the roster at WR... and the X factor is Mitchell. I think Stuckey, Mo, and Cribbs will stay, which leaves two roster spots. Will Mitchell get one of them? If we bring in, say, Jackson and Broyles, he'll be competing with Stuckey and Mo for a roster spot and would be the darkest of dark horses.

    Don't assume just because we are going to draft WR's that they are going to come in and start at #1 and #2. There is never any guarantee that guys you draft will every be good enough to play on the field no matter where you draft them.

  • I use to want us to draft a tall guy or a guy that can go up and get it ... I'm all about speed now. Draft a burner even if he has to be converted from another position.

  • I'd say that's true on many teams, but the Browns don't have the talent to keep a Julio Jones on the bench. No way. Hell, same's true of Broyles in two.

    We need speed... but we also need a #1 with some size if Mo is the #2. We're pretty damn WCO and not likely to become an over-the-top kind of passing offense. The speed guy is probably the slot.

    Julio Jones is big AND can run.

  • On this topic... here's a mock that would make our dreams come true:

  • I understand that these are just mock drafts, but everyone one I have seen so far has the Browns picking up AJ Green.

  • Can Green pass Coach Mangini's good citizen entrance exam?

  • Can Green pass Coach Mangini's good citizen entrance exam?

    The only thing he did wrong was sell a jersey. It's not like he did anything too serious and he got less money for it that every starter in college football gets from boosters after games (trust me it happens every where). Plus Mangini isn't drafting and Heckart doesn't care. Heckart drafted Jackson and I think Green will have a lot better attitude than Jackson does.

    I agree that his slip up was pretty minor in comparison to the other infractions we read about in collegiate athletics. And he certainly payed his dues after having to sit out the first 4 games of this season.

    He's bounced back to post some good numbers against quality competition. I'd like so see him in a Brown uni next summer at camp.
