  • 7. The Browns are excited about the running back position.


    "I'd be remiss if I didn't say that everybody's excited about both Terrance West and Isaiah Crowell. We have a a good, young running back, in my mind, in Glenn Winston. Just because he hasn't had a chance to demonstrate to everyone what he's capable of doesn't mean he's not as talented or even moreso than the guys who are currently getting reps in front of them. There's a process to getting an opportunity, and when they get it, both of them have made the most of it. When Glenn gets his, I think the fans will be pleasantly surprised as well."




    anybody know this kid we got from the 49ers? all I know is he is 6'2 and 220 lbs. but another really good running back? what a great problem to have...thoughts?


    cheers from the dawgpound

  • the more the merrier.

    god forbid he take a spot away from a kicker that can actually make a kick. lol.

    hopefully this doesn't mean they think of tate as an injury liability already.

  • Trade one and jf for Brandon weeden and a third to the cowboys.

  • Glenn who? Had not heard of him. Had no idea he was on 53 man roster. Mind boggling that we are carrying three rookie RBs on the active roster.

    And does not appear Glenn is a Special Teamer of any note... 0 tackles anyway...

    Amazing that Farmer refers to, if not quotes, Walter... twice...

    - " Patrick Peterson, 'He's a bust, he's not good enough.' "

    - "At the time we took him, there was a lot of discussion as to who Joel Bittonio was and why did we pick him over someone else."

  • we're carrying 4 RB's?

  • How bout trading one of those or releasing one to free up a spot for a 4th OLB'er? We need one more guy in that rotation although I personally would love to see what Armonty would do out there.

  • We are carrying five running backs ... don't forget Manziel

    Not to hijack the thread with Johnny, but he made a great, running, one-handed grab on that toss from Hoyer. The guy is so athletic, I am up for using him anyway we can.

  • I liked it too.....last week was THE week for QB's catching.....JFF, Dalton & Wilson all hauled one in.....

  • On an aside, I think Johnny should be holding on kicks too.....why not?.....I bet he coulda run that botched snap in.....and he opens a LOT of doors for 2 point conversions and fake FG's cause he can run and throw.....

  • Tale of the Tape

    Taylor Gabriel, 5,8 167 lb, 4.4 40 time, trips and falls down when he catches balls.

    Johnny Manziel, 6'0 210 lb, one handed grabs in stride with plenty of YAC

    Do we have the wrong guy as our #3 receiver?

    I thought of that too, especially after seeing Spencer Lanning's running skills and bobbled holds.

  • Tebow-lite?

  • Johnny is smarter than Tebow. He just wants to get on the field any way he can...

    Because he'd bail on the play too quickly?

    Because he hasn't gotten to the "placeholder" section of the playbook yet?

    Just spitballin' here... 😉

    That was a nice one handed grab

  • I thought this thread was about a fourth running back. What was his name again?
