Browns cut Terrell Pryor, claim Robert Turbin

Zombo

According to the depth chart TP was #53 ... 4th string with no special teams experience.

We replaced him with a vet RB.

We had a rookie and a soph at RB.

Let's all freak out.

There are hundreds of freak athletes that don't make it in the NFL. He's just another.

3 pages already for a WR who has never caught a pass in the NFL?

I'm watching football, have it it!

None really...

Strikes me as even less of a free-wheelin' deal by a substitute GM. And can't imagine Ray was breaking his suspension.

Probably should have said, "If Farmer did map it out, then I'm very impressed... with the foresight, if not the player."

Well Turbin was cut Saturday and the suspension didn't start until Monday right? Don't be TOO impressed.

Unsympathetic

Well, Turbin > Montee Ball, so.. that's progress in some way. But he's out for a long time with a high ankle sprain, so.. what in the name of 4 TE's is going on here?

No one wanted him, we took him and cut him, cry away pussies.

As per usual your post is 99% bs 1% fact. Both the Pats and Cowboys put in waiver claims when the kitty cats released Pryor.

What Pryor isn't going to be an awesome WR that will strengthen an already awesome WR corps, schucks

As I said on an earlier thread, I was worried about only two running backs (excluding the FB) on a team which wants to run to set up the pass. This move makes a lot of sense to me since I was upset they did not take Christine Michael who played just a hair behind Turbin. So even though he starts the season with an injury, I'm glad they got a real quality runner. I guess they want all those TE's for the same reason, run first offense with lots of blockers. But I sure like Pryor's upside.

I think he's talking about here in Cleveland where it matters.

Maybe the Patriots and the Cowgirls would have thought he was good enough to make the 53 man cut. Maybe not.

Jesus you people sometimes. I'm as big of an OSU as the most of you here but come on now. Pryor is big, tall and strong sure but so was Greg Little. He didn't show anything that merited him being on the team and we needed a roster spot. Perhaps Housler should have gotten the boot, but it's not like we're letting go of Randy Moss here. We let go a guy who failed at a position already and has been cut three times.

Turbin Stats

Career

Yards- 928

Att -231

Avg- 4.0 yards a carry

Rec - 43

Almost 1000 yards in two years playing behind the best running back in the league, AND pulling down passes. Looks like a great waiver pick up to me for a team that needs running backs even if he is on the shelf for a few weeks.

Here is an article about his combine numbers the year he was drafted. Strong guy.

LOL...

Should we call this new runner "Dinner Bell" after a guy with a similar name that once played here in town?

Mr. Make-Believe

I was disappointed when Pryor made the initial cut to 53. Was trying to keep an open mind in hoping that the coaches saw something in him that warranted taking the chance and holding a valuable roster spot.

This is a positive move for the team. Duke and Crow can hold the fort until Turbin is ready to fly.

O-line could still use a hand, though.

Clevfan4life

should've kept Lenz then if we were gonna cut Pryor.

For me it boils down to why we cut a player that could see some meaningful snaps on Sunday, or a player that will not be ready to log snaps for several weeks.

Pet and Farmer thought that a currently injured Turbin was worth making room for as opposed to waiting and hoping he is available in a few weeks?

Farmer shouldnt have thought anything.

We did not get to see... Does not mean he did not show.

Could we afford the luxury of carrying a raw, developmental WR who has never played the position? Not compared to a third RB... I get that, but we still do not have a third RB.

But compared to a 4th TE who is also a developmental project and has played the position for years? That is what bothers me...

Three years... 2012 - 2014... but regardless, clearly the staff think they see something in the kid.
