    great insight.

    what is this a game of dominoes?

  • 1. Richardson

    2. Winner

    4. Chicken Dinner

  • Richardson

    Hardesty

    Jackass number 3

    Jackass number 4

  • And there really isn't any reason to be mad. They signed two RB and the dropped two. Cook and Rouse are gone.

    Oh and Hardesty is far from safe. They want RB's that can catch the ball.

  • Apparently we've claimed another guy from somewhere (eagles maybe?)

    So now we have:

    Richardson

    Hardesty

    Lewis

    Ogbonnaya

    Jackson

    Maysonet (new guy)

    I know there needs to be camp fodder, but when it boils down to it, we'll be going with T-Rich, Hardesty, Lewis (probably) and then maybe if we carry four guys I guess Ogbonnaya. Do we really need other guys in there?

    And the really big news is that to address the complete lack of quaity depth in the secondary, the Browns signed .... Kenronte Walker, safety whose claim to fame is that he "lettered" at Missouri. Wow! I'm impressed!

  • It's OK to sign running backs. They can wrap T-Rich in bubble wrap for the preseason and I'd be fine with that.

  • Maysonet was aparently one of, if not they most, sought after UDFA RB after the draft. He was given a $10,000 signing bonus by the Eagles (the largest signing bonus given to any UDFA RB) and produced a stat number of 1900+ rushing yards a 21 TD at Stony Brook (FCS). He produced 1000 yard rushing seasons that past three years which is even more impressive when you consider he didn't start until he was a junior. Has never missed a game.

    Yep, I read that too. My question remains though, do we need any more running backs? Does this mean we are seriously looking at trading someone like Hardesty? He and T-Rich are the only guys this FO hasn't signed or re-signed.

  • What about this kid Rouse...or whatever that they just signed. Did they let him go already? That would be another RB if he is still here.

  • I don't get the idea that it's wrong to bring in a few extra running backs for competition at camp.

    This coaching staff, for a freaking change, know talent, and they KNOW what kind of players

    they want to fill slots in the lineup for depth. I'm sure it's easier to find a rb that might make the team,

    than a cb.

    If so he was cut practically the day he was signed. Oi.

    Yep, but in all reality I think that just shows what they think of Maysonet. They dropped Cook after resigning Jackson, who is going to get a look at 3rd down RB. Then they had to shoose whether to keep the guy they just signed of take someone they apparently really wanted right after the draft.

    What I find the most odd is that Maysonet was given the signing bonus and then dropped so soon. He has only attended the rookie mini camp because he still needs to graduate, so he hadn't even attended the Eagles OTA's yet.

    man, you do your research. great stats and info.

    i'd rather listen to you than most of the dolts i see on espn or other sports hubs on tv or radio.

    and i mean this sincerely.

    good job!

  • Rouse is still on the roster - he's not at OTA's because he's still at school.

    McFadden, Keenan Davis, and Travis Tannahill are also at school and haven't been at practice.

    Except that McFadden, Davis and Tannehill all show up on the Browns roster....and Rouse does not. So, maybe he was cut.

  • He was waived yesterday apparently.

    Uh, I watch a lot of SEC football and Hardesty was a pretty good receiver in college. That's all I can tell you.

    Gotta remember, we are talking about a GM named Lombardi who is a clueless clown.

    And Tim Tebow was a Heisman winning, National Championship winning QB from the SEC....but sucks as a pro.

    So, just because a guy played in the SEC don't mean he is for shit in the NFL.

    (In fact....unless a guy's name is Manning, SEC QBs ain't all that great overall)
