The "number 1," the "rookies," and the "possession guys/vets." Nice mix, too.

Mad Props to Nails on this Furry signing. I thought it was bogus. Way to leak a signing way way earlier than anybody. Now the browns have a very respectable WR corp. Cant argue with Edwards, Furry, Robiskie w

So, can we chalk this up to a move able to be made because of our day 1 draft day moves?

I didn't read this entire thread, but I didn't know this:
- Born May 12, 1977 in Grove City, Ohio, Furrey attended Hilliard (Ohio) High School
Quinn to Furrey and Robiskie? Pretty cool.

Steptoe's not practice squad-eligible, so he's probably gone. Hubbard's eligible, but he'll need to show something during training camp to earn that spot...and if he shows something, another team could scoop him up after final cuts.

--worst performace from a group of receivers I have ever seen.
The most disgusting part of the Browns regime since basically Michael Jackson, Patrick Rowe and Rico Smith is the fact we have had Wr's that suck complete and total ass.
Guys that can catch tend to be pretty cool. KJ had Cris Carter hands but fell down after the catch quicker than Ozzie.
I think we are assembling a real WR corps. here. Hanging onto Edwards is huge, I expect him (under Mancock) to not fook around one bit this year. These guys have a certain charm about them that says "play football mofos and shut the FU."
I love what these guys are doing.
Is a pig's ass pork? -
Cant help but to feel good about the posession type WRs mankok is bringing in to compete and keeping edwards is huge imo as well..as mangini reveals more about what he is doing and seeing active motivated coaching all over the camp makes me think this years browns may be what we thought they should have been last year...
Im getting pretty pumped up!

Yeah I got a buddy in Uniontown PA, that absolutely hates the steelers just because of their fans. He's not a Browns fan, he's actually a Chargers fan, but absolutely abhors having a football discussion with those inbred hicks because they are so amazingly ignorant of anything outside of Pittsburgh.I know I've mentioned him before, but I'm not sure if I shared this story yet. On Superbowl sunday he went down the steeler bar to have some fun, before the game he went around asking people who won last years super bowl, out of about 50 or so people he asked only 3 knew the answer. These inbred hicks just don't get it, if it doesn't have to deal with the stoolers they could care less about it, they could also care less about how the game is played, or defensive schemes, or different coaching changes, or the draft. Basically their minds are only tuned to football for 3 hours every sunday, and then it's only to watch the steelers, most cannot even explain to you in football terms how the steelers won the game, they can only look at the score board, and after consulting a calculator tell you that the steelers have more points than their opponents.
It's an ironic twist of fate, that God gave the undisputed dumbest fanbase in America the most consistent team in the past 10 years. These are the same fans though that after a few losing seasons will go back to following Dale Earnhart Jr and the NASCAR on sundays.
Of course there are exceptions to the rule, and there are informative steeler fans out there, but the vast majority are dumbshit asshats.
Pure comedy. I'm SURE your supposed friend walked around the bar polling the masses for his own personal enjoyment. "Hello kind sir, but may I ask who won lasts years Super Bowl?" Give me a break. The exception to the rule exists in a much larger number but if you're information base is a CHARGERS fan on the east coast who likely follows the team because of their baby blue home jerseys I guess I should just shut up and listen. *kisses*

I could give a shit less if you believe me. Listen, this guy vents to me non stop during football season about the ignorant antics of your brethren. We actually talked about him doing that during the week leading up to the game. If the steelers aren't playing you guys don't give a shit, even if a game has relevance to the NFL. There are a plethora of great games every year that don't involved either the Browns or the Steelers, the difference is Browns fans recognize those games, while stooler knuckle draggers remain oblivious....A sample size of how many people? lol 30? Your accused group are also in the minority. I pay almost 300 dollars a year so I can have NFL ticket and watch all the games. I also play in the same 2 Fantasy Football leagues each year and know countless people that do the same. All of whom are diehard Steeler fans. I watch the plethora of great games and know my football and once again the same can be said for a countless number of my friends and people that I've met over the years. I also don't care if you don't believe me. All of this is what's best about a rivalry the Retarded bickering back and forth that often leads to no where. Want me to drive up your way and we can suit up in our gear and punch each other in the face?

There will always be a certain faction of intelligent fandom in whatever fan base you refer to, but there will never be the percentage of Pure D dumbassage that your fans exhibit on a daily basis.

Says the guy from Akron. I'm just saying you may run in to the Retarded Steeler fans in the Akron/Kent area but those fans don't exist in a large percentage in the city of Pittsburgh. It's kind of stupid to base an opinion off a fan base outside of it's teams state no?

Good to see that receiver depth won't be a problem again this year.
I wonder if Patten and Furrey are fighting for the same roster spot. Patten's got better speed, but he's also older and less durable.

You could be right and Furry could have a leg up because he can play safety and return kicks and punts. Amazing that Mangini loves guys who can play multiple positions. I'm wondering what it does to Cribbs as a WR or is he going to be strickly a slash and moved to defense.
Also makes me wonder about Edwards. Nothing in the wind but then again Winslow's trade caught everybody by surprise. There's a good mix of vets and rookies at WR without Edwards.
Furrey, Patton, Drew Bennett, Ellis and Cribbs. with Steptoe, Hubbard and our rookies , plus Norwood. Something like 12 receivers on the roster. there's a few that are easy cuts but I can't see keeping more then 5 + Cribbs or 6 and moving Cribbs to DB/RB.
Going to be a very interesting camp.

Is Bennett a done deal?

I hope Norwood finds a spot, although I'm not sure he's quite built enough yet for special teams which he'd might have to be to make it.With his TREMENDOUS HANDS...he would make a terrific returner (if he's not a chicken shit, that is).

I take it this didn't happen. He came and went with no news at all. Can't believe they'd sign yet another WR after just signing Furrey.
I can't find any news on Bennett either. As far as other visits.

You are right, he came in and worked out, took a physical, but it never got done. Tells me that his health is too big a question mark because after he worked out they brought in Furrey.
