Greg Little Released
-
I don't like him. He is big and powerful, but continuously has problems catching the ball. I don't think he can be taught at this point.
-
I think he's sticking around for now regardless.

Let's not get excited about a new quarterback making Greg Little an all pro. He had the same guy throwing to him last year as Josh Gordon.
You can't drop a ball unless it gets to you.

The guy could be great. He's displaying what separates the mediocre from the greats. It's not athletic ability, or how strong you are or how fast and how high you can jump. It's about the mental aspect of the game. Can the guy catch a football. Sure he can. We have seen him do it. But what's happening in between the ears is what is keeping him from catching all the others. That's Little's problem. He is missing it between the ears somewhere.
Quick story. I played soccer (laugh and get it out) from 3rd grade all through high school, and almost played at a small college. I was a goalkeeper. I was never tall, 5'10". But one of the things that made me stand out is that I was smart, and I used my body and hands correctly and I had a great sense of anticipation. The other thing is that I had great hands. I would catch anything thrown or kicked at me. And it happened because I would stand against a brick wall and thrown a soccer ball against it and just play catch with my self. I had great technique and very good eye and hand coordination.
To this day, I don't understand how these guys, with these gloves they use, are able to drop some of these passes that are thrown to them. And it's usually the easy passes they miss. Granted there are some tough balls being thrown at these guys and catching in coverage is even harder. But it's the open passes that just hit bricks for hands that just blows my mind.

He doesn't just drop passes. Little has problems getting off the line in press coverage. He also does not run crisp routes, and instead gets lazy. He is NEVER open to throw the ball to, and when the coaches have designed plays for him he drops the ball. His strengths have always been his run-after-catch abilities, and his size, but he has never been able to utilize them b/c it's hard to RAC if you don't catch it.
-
Ya his main issue is his route running and catching ability.
-
If you ever read anyones answers or commentary on Little that try shedding a positive light on him you will note liberal use of the words IF, COULD, POTENTIAL etc. Lets for once deal in the reality. HE CANNOT CONSISTENTLY CATCH A FOOTBALL. I dont know about the rest of you but I am guessing this is a key metric for a receiver. Whether Gordon is here or not Little needs replaced. Hell without Gordon we even more need someone who can consistently catch.

Everyone wants to talk about Little after the catch, but personally I havent seen him break many tackles. The best part of his game is blocking. He doesnt have the burst to seperate and his hands are just bad. Hes gonna have a hard time staying in the league once we finally dump him.

I like Greg Little once he's caught the ball. Guy has running back vision and is great with YAC. It's just him catching the ball that's the problem.

Considering he was recruited as and mostly played RB at UNC before switching to WR his last year, I'd hope he has good RB vision.
Unfortunately, he never lived up to his potential because of his hands. We can chalk that up to another 2nd round WR bust drafted by past Browns' regimes.

A big reason I didn't care that we passed on WR this year. Good receivers come from all over, but for some reason they don't come from the 2nd round of the draft... at least not for us.

He's still in play now for sure. I wouldn't count on him coming around though. We've been hoping he would for a few years now.
