  • In case nobody has watched him play.

    edit: If the number I'm reading are accurate, he was targeted on 62 times on the year. Might help explain some of the drop off.

  • Hartline and Brennan LOVED the game. They were ***FOOTBALL PLAYERS*** from

    the beginning of their school careers. Watching Hartline's video sure reminds me of

    Brennan.

    Both played qb at one time. For anybody interested,

    here is a highlight video of Brian Brennan. 5'9" ? Yep.

  • He seems like he'd be a good fit for the browns.

    Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind...

  • Watching that video it is more interesting to watch Tannehill. he looks at other recievers but he always looks where Hartline is suppose to be and is always there. Hartlines catchs are forward and getting down not taking that big hit. He isnt a burner he is a accurate route safety blanket receiver that we havent had in a long time. Hartline is always at the sticks and knows where he needs to get to for the first watch his head he catches the ball and looks for the sticks and get as close to them as he can. we dont need burners at reciever we needs guys that catch and get 1str downs.

  • Yeah I'll take Hartline with a hometown discount.

    pfr has it at 63 for '14... in the ballpark of his first three-years, but roughly half of what he saw in his career years of '12 and '13.

    Looks like Jarvis Landry's arrival stole Brian's opportunities, pushed Brain back to the #3WR role. With Landry's 84 catches in 112 targets it's easy to see why. Hard to match that kind of success rate.

    Brian dropped 6.4% of his 2014 targets. Essentially the same as our worst WR by that measure, Benji (6.5%).

    Other years...

    2013 6.8%

    2012 3.1%

    2011 4.6%

    2010 4.1%

    2009 5.4%

    Hey... at least in '09 Ginn's 11.5% drop rate made Brian look fantastic.

    I just don't see the upgrade here...

    I find it a little difficult to compare outright drop percentages without mixing in targets and total catches. In which case, Benji's drop rate for how little he's involved as a receiver is scary.

  • Now this is a signing I could get behind. He seems very reliable, especially as a 3rd WR. I'd love to see him and Shorts come in, along with a draft pick.

    Hawkins

    Shorts

    Hartline

    Rookie

    Gabriel

    Benjamin

    Battle it out for 5 spots on the roster... That seems like a reliable bunch. Not sure who stretches the field, unless we take that rookie with our #12 pick (Cooper, White)

    Still need a TE though...

    Dr Dray and Barnidge filled in rather admirably but there are several athletic, vertical threat TE's to be had in the later rounds of the draft.

  • Might be the biggest FA signing we have this year.

    "We are Americans. We don't quit doing something because it's wrong. We just keep doing the wrong thing till it turns out right." Browns maybe the most American Football team ever.

  • This makes sense

    Ginn does not

  • Hartline also had a torn PCL in the season finale of the 2013 season. He'll be a year and a half removed from surgery which may help him get back to his 1000 yard form. I see him with potential to be a very good 2.

  • Isn't "Hartline" something used to keep ticks away from dogs and, also, protect them from heart worm?

  • No relation. He's a local Glennoak Kid, though. I'll bet he'd love to

    come play for the Browns.

  • good character dude, solid worker and excellent fundamentals. me thinks a good fit

  • Dustin Fox (another Canton guy) knows Hartline pretty well, and says that he knows some "inside info" on the Hartline visit to Berea. When asked on this afternoon's radio show on a scale of 1 to 10 what are the odds of Hartline signing with the Browns, he said it's an 8.

    Don't sell Dray short in that role. His 40 and shuttle times coming out of Stanford were the equal of the best of your down draft prospects...

    All, however, are well short of what were Cam's...
