Dion Lewis

Eagles fan here to give you an idea of Dion Lewis.
Basically, you guys potentially got a steal. He is a small slippery runner who is harder to get down than his size suggests. Two years in a row, this guy was a stud in training camp practices and the preseason. Doesn't mean much, but this guy was making everyone miss in practice (insert eagles defense joke here). To me, he seems like a great compliment to Trent. The only reason he wasn't given opportunities was because of the amount of depth the eagles have at RB.
If any of you have game pass on nfl.com, I suggest watching the 2nd of the eagles-redskins games each of the past two seasons. He had some good plays in each and will give you an idea of what he brings to your offense.

Thanks, Joe.

Figured, better than a conditional 2014 7th i suppose. Does he bring anything on special teams?

We don't know, he got injured last year and missed the whole season. He was all-around unimpressive up til then.

Wonder if Hardesty has seen his last down in a browns uniform. We just signed oby to a 2 year deal, and still have Jackson on the roster I think. Lewis will be a good returner, but I was really liking what TB was doing back there when he got his chances.

Jackson is gone.

Agreed. Wonder if we're looking to trade Hardesty or Ogbonnaya - chances of us carrying 4 RBs on the roster?

Wasnt sure, thanks Z

The Cleveland Plain Dealer says the Browns' new coaching staff is "spending a lot of time" evaluating Montario Hardesty.
Hardesty is due $575,000 entering his contract year. The Browns are reportedly looking for a change-of-pace back behind Trent Richardson, and it remains to be seen if Hardesty can be that guy. Impending free agent Brandon Jackson isn't expected back, and plodder Chris Ogbonnaya is a restricted free agent. Feb 10 - 11:38 AM

I really liked what I saw from Hardesty last season but it may be time to trade him. His contract is up after the season so they may want to move him now while he has more value.
If they can get a good offer I think he will be gone. If it was my decision I would trade him for a player at a position of need.
They now have their change of pace back. I like it!

you liked what you saw from a guy, so let's trade him?
how about we carry 3 backs TR, hardesty, and oogabooga?
this guy prob won't even make it thru training camp before getting cut.
we've seen plenty of small slippery backs....and they never make it past 3 yrds or if that, the bench.
granted if hardesty doesn't contribute this year he's gone but he isn't worth as much as mccoy was in trade value.
-
If I were the Browns, I would use Lewis on screen passes as much as possible. Also returned kicks for us in 2011.
-
Hardesty looked pretty good last season. I remember he looked better than Trent in the few games he played.
-
Hardesty was quite explosive, just not very powerful. Should be kept unless we can get GOOD value in a trade

YES! That is when you trade a guy like him. When he is doing well and before his contract expires! Makes perfect sense. He is never going to be our number 1 back unless Trent gets injured to the point where his career is over. So after this year he will walk and we will get nothing for him. How does that make any sense. This is a business and all players are assets. He has value, and I think unlike whoever said it that the value is MORE than Colt McCoy's value was. Maybe package him for a trade up on draft day.

This kid is awesome. Why bitch?
First thing the Browns have done right in 5 years
Bring in talented players instead of scrubs. It's all about the talent.
Dion Lewis should be starting on NFL teams.

They were going to have to do something to try to replace Cribbs on punt/kick returns. Maybe this guy is the answer..because that question is still out there.
And with TR an Eric Metcalf/Darren Sproles type of back is needed here. Maybe he can be that.
-
After watching that NFL video he looks to be a Darren Sproles type guy with supreme quickness

Browns just picked up the LB that the Eagles cut after trading for Acho.The guys name is Rau. 290ish tackles in college.

Rau? Pronounced "raw"?
Let's just hope he is not a mad dog in a meat market.
(and, yet again, another Philly reject? Getting old man)
