    lol... touche'... but at least Corey has the excuse of missing a lot of reps his rookie season.

    That would be problem #2...(or #1 in some books).....him missing a lot of reps......which is all he's done so far this year too.....(ala last year).....

    In our last three 2016 games he was safely above 50%... pushing 60%.

    3 games....less than 30 yds per.....no TD's....just not impressed by that stat Tour......(a positive leaning nugget, perhaps, but thats it)

    One week before starting his amazing 3 game catch frenzy 😉.....he was 3 for 11.....then 3 for 5....I call that inconsistent.

    Sorry to be so hard on this guy, but I just aint feeling it.....

    Is there anything else other than being tall that makes you want this reject?

    You don't just forget how to play football. Sometimes it's the Scheme, some times it's the coach, sometimes it's the team and sometimes it's you.

    A wake up call that nobody has picked him up and maybe a light goes on?

    But it really is ridiculous that there are so many people on the internet that think that all of our players need to be choir boys.

    Nobody's perfect but can't anybody find him...

    The big difference here is we won't be asking him to play a small role or try to earn a backup spot. You turn the pressure all the way up and see if he cracks. Tell him he's going to be the #1 and we need him dedicated and zeroed in like a missile this year.

    DGB might bear that and do well with it. You have to challenge these men. What happens when you are bored in class? You fuck around or fall asleep. Get his attention and you'll get the next Randy Moss. Put DGB and Gordon opposite each other and you run Coleman and Louis at #3 and #4, throw in a little Britt and Hollywood, you'd be hard pressed to find a more athletic or talented WR group.

    You know, I've heard a lot that he runs lazy routes or he doesn't sprint flat out... I also know that Us being Browns Fans, we've seen this style before... ala Josh Gordon. People think he's not running fast until you're up close and personal. Recievers like Moss, Gordon, Megatron, they run differently because they are so tall. I don't think many people have ever seen 6'6" running at 4.4 speed at close contact.

    His style is to be elusively fast and use his body size to out position the defensive player. Sometime if a coach is using you like an Andrew Hawkins type of player then you are not going to be happy about it.

    ohhhh, just get his attention, I guess the eagles and titans didn't think of that one. DGB is Justin Gilbert all over again: undisciplined player who got used to coasting on athleticism alone.

    This tactic works for a while, but once you get to the NFL it takes more than just being a great athlete. Being a hard-working, athletic moron can make for a great pay-day, but being a lazy, athletic moron isn't the key to success.

    Assumes facts NOT in evidence.. One, that his attention is able to be acquired - and two, that he possesses untapped potential.

    Philly was the team that took that chance, for that exact reason. They spent the entire season doing exactly what you proposed.. for zero return.

    He's just a bum who can beat bad college defenders. His potential was already reached - and he's not an NFL player.

    Well, he seemed to be an NFL player in this video, in fact doing well against the likes of the Pats, Vikes, Steelers, GB, Cowboys... even Cleveland.

    No he didnt.....1) didnt even play the Pats......had 8 yds against the Vikes.....14 yds against the Browns....15 yds against the Cowboys......33 against the stools......and his one and only game over 50 yds was GB......and zero 100 yard games.....(in fact, he's had only 6 - 100 yd games in his entire college AND pro career......and runs 4.5)

    Highlight reels mean nothing when you look at the real numbers.....

    So.....all 32 teams passed.....

    Didnt even have good numbers in college.....never once performed well....has always been underacheiving talent with potential.....

    His highlight reel (not game tape) wasn't that great. He isn't a great hands catcher, and let's the ball into his body too consistently. He had maybe 2 impressive plays, the rest of the reel was pretty mundane stuff. I didn't see anything that made me think the Browns should take a swing at a guy who was roundly rejected twice in two years. Someone may bring him in as a camp body, but I'll sleep just fine if it isn't Cleveland.

    And, I guess then the question in: why are we still talking about him?

    I mean, are Ricardo Louis, Payton Jordan (or is it Jordan Payton), Higgins etc. more worthy of discussion than this alleged bum?

    So, what about them?

    Yeah, sure. Usain Bolt is 6'5", just retired, and is definitely fast. Why not give him a call? I've said a bunch of times it takes more than that to make a decent NFL wr.

    ... on his contract. Now we'll see if anyone wants the player. I don't, but someone may.

    That said, it was only a rookie contract... a 2nd round contract, but still a cheap contract.

    Not looking good for Dorial's future.
