    Don't know why we need a million other pages, then.

    What are you complaining about? You didn't read any of them in the first place.

    That said, I'll try. Because Josh Gordon has only played 5 football games since 2013 regardless of how much some guys want to celebrate the endless skipping record. Tommy Chong was as useful to the Cleveland Browns in 2015 as Josh Gordon - but I promise not to forget how talented Gordon looked way back in 2013. In addition, Pryor missed most of last season due to being cut until there was only a couple weeks left where we were informed he wasn't ready for games yet. More specifically, the last regime wasted 1 full year of potential WR development for this guy so in 2016 he's starts out like a rookie WR learning a brand new offense for his new position. Does this put him ahead of the rookie WRs that have started the last 3 years at Wide Receiver? I'm not so sure.

    Obviously there's more to discuss than remaining stuck on pause. This regime feels that their WR Corps is pretty important to competing in a passing era and some of us are excited to talk about it.

  • The Browns need to pull off a trade. Michael Flyod could be gotten if the Browns want to pull the trigger. He could be the #1 receiver.

    I like it, but who do they need at what position? There's got to be a move coming, if & when Gordon is allowed back? Nobody's trading for Gordon imo. He should be free (except from himself)

    He related to Marty McFly-od?

  • Pryor will make this roster - he's far too good of an athlete not to.

    The rookies will make the roster ahead of the "veteran" guys.. no need to pay more for the same skill set. Hawkins will get traded for a draft pick to some team that has a WR pop something in camp, Hartline/Gabriel/Moore will get cut.

    If Gordon isn't training hard now, he won't make the roster if/when he returns.

  • So with Hartline dearly departed here is my new projection:

    I am promoting Rashard "Hollywood" Higgins to the first team due his college production, his hair, and his sunglasses.

    WR1: Coleman

    WR2: Higgins

    Slot: Hawkins

    Bench: Pryor, Louis, Payton, Moore

    Cut: Gabriel, Jennings, everybody else.

  • I don't think they keep Hawkins.. slot receiver = Higgins. Starters = Coleman, Pryor.

    They all (tattoos) look the same to me.

    Describes himself as a possession receiver ... perfect for #2 role.

  • Moore will not make the team.

    They kept Chris Tabor as ST coach....and Moore is his boy.....so, though they very well should let go of Moore, I think he stays for just that reason.

    Though....to be honest, to quote The Old Man from Pawn Stars...and also my Dad: He seems as useless as tits on a boar hog

  • Moore is our #1 gunner. Fans rarely consider special teams when shaping a roster, but coaches always do.

    OK, you are right. I don't see it when it comes to Moore....but maybe it is there.

    I see. Yeah I honestly don't see anything special about him. I think they should try Duke for kick returns. Kind of like Sproles.

  • I'm really enjoying the VASTLY different way business is being conducted, so I'm just gonna continue to sit back, enjoy the ride, & see what happens in Browns' Town!

  • Although I agree that Moore will have a chance to make special teams for a spot on the 53; I think he will have to compete for that spot as there will be many rookies trying to take it away from him. If he cannot prove that he is much better at special teams than the rookies; I think, he will be let go in favor of one of them.

  • Radio guys both said that Higgins is making plays on a consistent basis, perhaps more than any other receiver. The other guy who looks good is Terrell Pryor. Apparently Pryor is getting chippy with people and talking some smack. I actually like that. I want somebody on our team to have an edge, and why not him? He has the look of a WR, not a guy trying to PLAY WR. He looks good and feels comfortable. Still don't know if the guy can catch the ball, but I'm guessing he can if he's playing well in OTA's.

    Still, I'm not sure why Hartline getting the boot make sense. Apparently he was a very hard worker and somebody that could help set an example for all of the young guys we drafted. I hate to say it, but I'm wondering if this move doesn't help pave the way for Josh Gordon. I know, I know...I shouldn't even bring up his name, but perhaps Gordon is coming back.

    Thanks for the updates.

    Again, people don't need to be taught how to work hard. "Teacher" isn't worth a roster spot.

    Teacher? No, that's the "coach".

    Example? Never hurts having one. Hopefully we still do.

  • Not hurting is not worth a roster spot either. I wouldn't even give mentoring ability any consideration. Roster the best players.
