Respond to what? You think if we signed a free agent WR he would have alerted the defense that the Bengals were in formation or actually tackled Cedric Benson from off the bench?
No, I didn't watch that game and say "Boy, we should have signed a f/a WR". Not at all.
Right now a veteran WR would just keep Little off the field, and I want him on it.
That's why we drafted him.
It's all about the draft right now, Grasshopper.
Let the team grow. Anyone panicking after one game needs a visit from the Ghost of NFL Seasons Past.

BTW Z, was watching NFL Channel, and they had a preview of the Bengals- Broncos- with tape breakdown of the Browns game. Cleveland doesn't have a collective brain fart on the quick snap, the Browns probably win the game and everyone is singing a different tune. Pretty much exactly what I said elsewhere. Yeah, the receivers weren't all that "open" but if McCoy puts the ball on your hands you have to catch the damn thing. Plenty of drops on catachable balls. Good Lord Rebs this is the NFL not Madden- do you expect guys to be open by 5 yards on every play? McCoy had a few problems too- guys were initially open, and Colt didn't see them soon enough to safely throw the ball to them. Now to the o-line- Pinkston got beat on a couple of stunts- what would you expect from a rookie in his first game? D-line? Sheard was suffering from extreme over aggressiveness. On several plays, he pushed his guy so far back, it crated a huge hole to his left that Cedric Benson said "thanks for the easy 5-10 yards, kid". Whoever was playing LB on that side was too damn slow in getting over to fill the gap, incidentally.
The Browns have two first round picks next year- I'd expect one of them to be a WR, and the other a LB. O-line in the second round.
Well, it's off to Indy- I'll try to bring back a win but with "The Curse" in attendance, I'm not too hopeful.

FA WR's don't play defense, and that's what lost us the game.
Nice Replacements quote, Reb.
