Which receivers make this team?

The Browns Board

  • Good on Pettine. "When you practice well you will get your opportunities." Bibbs with 1's thanks Mud.

  • To me its starting to look like a shame Bowe has so much guarantee in his salary

  • I think we may be looking at 7 WRs making this roster. If we're keeping the 53 best players, then it seems this group will provide quite a few of those...

    Shaw getting hurt helps Pryors shot of making the roster IMHO

  • Well, one of these little wr's in camp would look good on the practice squad.

    I want to see Wynn return a couple punts this pre-season. There's one in the video at the 2:00 mark. Needless to say "he could go all the way"... Looks to have the quicks and mentality to thrive in that role. Surprisingly he had only 20 returns spread over his last two years at Indiana.

    Hard to say about his WR prospects. Whole lotta uncovered post routes in that video generated by speed alone... mostly against lesser opponents, e.g., not many highlights vs. the Buckeyes.

  • The way this is going we may have a heck of a return team. Benji, M. Moore, Gilbert, Duke and Wynn all play other positions and will get interesting to 53 man roster but 3 WR's will be tough to keep unless your making plays on Special Teams like M. Moore. Benji's not giving anybody anything and if Pryor is in the mix we may see him as a 3rd QB on the roster.

  • What is Bowe's status? He sure is missing a lot of practice time, and there are quite a few promising young WRs on this team...

    Bowe....or Bowie?

    Well, there are the Chronicles of Riddick Bowe.

    And there is the Bowie knife....and the Spiders from Mars.

  • Look at Benji gettin' some Bleacher love...

  • Whichever ones learn how to come back to the ball on a QB scramble. None out there on the last drive had a clue how to do that.

    OK, Chuckie Jr. 😉

    Well... I saw one tonite. Beautiful job of setting up blocks. A repeat or two and the littlest Wynn is going to make cutting him a very hard thing to do.

    I thought Jennings had another solid receiving game. Just did not add a quality return to the mix tonite.

    Mayle? Eh... seemed OK, but it almost looked as if he was batting down that last, 4th-and-the-game pass.

    Hawk seems frustrated.

    Hartline looks like McCown's security blanket.

  • Mc Cown Mentor. Chuckie supervisor of others doing their jobs all nite. good stuff with Manziel's visit and seeing it we hope.

  • At this point we're pinning our hopes on Bowe becoming something resembling a #1 when returning from injury and missing weeks of practise, or the longest shot of all, TP becoming a true WR.

    Our offence looked pretty impotent last night, including our OL - against what we must acknowledge is one of the top DLs in the league, to be fair.

  • The offense had a tough night, but it's an exhibtion game, the bills defense seemed

    to think they were playing in the superbowl.

    doesn't count.

    Absolutely right. JFF could have used help like that there on some of his scrambles, these WRs gave him none.

    The best thing I can say is that these were the training camp fodder.....like Lenz etc. And the only guy that did it some was Mayle.....but then he dropped a pass right in his hands.

  • 1.Bowe

    2.Hawkins

    3.Hartline

    4.Gabriel

    5.Benjiman

    6.Pryor

    7.Moore/Lenz/Wynn/Jennings

    Right now I think we keep 7, thats right 7! 1-5 on my list are my locks for the 53. The wildcard, Pryor...

    Next weeks game against T.B. is going to be HUGE for T.P. He's gonna need to play most of the game and play decent at the very least. If he does, and i think he will, he's in.

    With T.P. on the team i think it can be a very real possibility that we only roll with 2 QB's with T.P. serving as an emergency 3rd QB, opening up a spot for a 7th WR.

    Of the 4 listed at #7 above, i gotta give the edge to Moore due to his great special teams coverage. We only really have 2 aces on ST coverages, Moore and Bademosi, and i think we only keep one of them. Both of their positions are fairly deep with young talent, could go either way but i see Bademosi as the odd man out and i dont see both going. Who would then take over on ST coverages as the ace? That makes Moore my #7.

  • It's all about who wants to be a weapon in this Offense and its slim right now. It's Benji, Hartline, Bibbs, Wynn and Jennings and some Lenz. Hawk and Gabe no shows?? The Size that fits is Bowe and Pryor and nobody knows, the other size is Mayle and he needs PS or IR with those hands. I hope for the Best of what we got in TB but we got no Dez nor Megatron in this future. Farmer your move..

    agreed...dont see mayle in the 53 this year......heard a radio rumor that the cards are seriously hurting for D line and shopping Michael Floyd.....phil taylor and a late pick?....Id say yes....

  • I think McCown and Manziel with Thad on speed dial are our three QBs. Pryor is the emergency QB/Apprentice-WR. Shaw mends on the PS.

    So there is room for Pryor plus six more...

    Still feels to me like Hawk is bubble-ish. He seems troubled... frustrated. His reactions to the blown bubble screens his way in each of the past two games were way out of proportion to the game circumstance. Game 3 should tell us a lot.

    Of the Moore/ Lenz/ Wynn/ Jennings group I think the last two are showing return game value atop WR promise. To me that trumps gunners...
