Browns Cuts

The two guys we picks up. The Punter seems to have had a good preseason thus far.
Hazel, a 6-5, 227-pound outside linebacker from Western Michigan, was waived by the Jaguars Sunday. Signed as a non-drafted free agent by Jacksonville following the 2013 draft, he had four tackles this preseason. In college, Hazel played 49 games with 19 starts, posting 104 tackles (55 solo), 24 tackles for loss, 17.5 sacks, six pass breakups, seven forced fumbles and one fumble recovery. He also saw action on the WMU basketball team during the 2012-13 season. Hazel was all-county in both football and basketball at South Miami (Fla.) High School.
Schmidt, a 5-11, 220-pound punter in his rookie season out of California-Davis, originally signed with the 49ers as an undrafted free agent on July 15. He appeared in all three of San Francisco’s preseason games and booted four punts for 201 yards (50.3 average) with a net of 47.0 yards, landing two inside the 20-yard line. At UC-Davis, Schmidt set a school record with a 41.1-yard career gross average. A native of Bakersfield, Calif., he graduated from Liberty High School.

A punter cut by the 49ers is a guy you go after because you know he got beat out by one of, or the best in the league.

The cuts aren't done until this weekend, so let's just see what happens. We could see any number of changes.

I know the names, but seriously... this is not good. But like Canton said, the roster is still going to change a bit before Week 1

So far I'm only liking Joe McKnight as a possible addition of those that have been cut. Averages 4.5 YPA rushing over 3 seasons and has over 1,000 yds and 1 TD returning kickoffs over the past 2 seasons with the Jets. I'm sure there may be better, but he seems like a possibility as he at least brings some experience to the table.

Here are a couple guys who are sitting deep in RB deep depth charts that might become available:
1. Lance Ball - Denver - 5'9" 224lbs. 28 yrs old. 4.2 YPC in his 4 year career. In 2011, he ran 96 times for 402 yds and 2 TDs while catching 16 balls for 146 yds and 1 TD. He is short, but tough and can catch the ball. He's not great, but seems to be an upgrade over the 2 UDFAs we have now.
2. Ryan Torain - NYG - 6' 220lbs. 27 yrs old. 4.2 YPC in his 3 years in the NFL. In 2010, he ran 164 times for 742 yds and 4 TDs while catching 18 balls for 125 yds and 2 TDs. Very limited as a runner and receiver, but could provide another "between the tackles" threat.
3. Larod Stephens-Howling - Pit - 5'7". 185lbs. 26 yrs old. Here's the guy I would want, but with all the injuries in the Steelers backfield, I don't think they can afford to let go of this guy. They have Bell, Redman, Dwyer, and just signed Felix Jones; however, I think the Jones pickup was just to finish the preseason. More wishful thinking than anything.
Not seeing much else barring a surprise cut or two of course... sigh

no worries, they are good w Tr3nt and Obby...both on the field together and spelling one another. both are capable of being 3 down backs...both have good size, both can block, both can catch, and both can run the ball productively. Obby at fb is not as telegraphed as having a pure FB either...his versatility leaves lots of room for wrinkles as well
several times against the Colts i saw them both swing out from opposite sides of the backfield as secondary check down outlets...reminiscent of MartyBall when Mack/Byner were quality safety valves for Bernie. hope we see that formation return this year, i've always liked it in Cle, it had good success for years and years.

I'd guess C. Robersons career aspirations took a fatal blow at the 4:33 mark in the 4th quarter of the Colts game. Then again maybe he wowed em enough in training camp to overcome this really bad play

A 16-game NFL season is long, with a lot of hits going on. I'm 100% confident in TRich and Ogby as starters, AND am about 90% confident in BJackson as a 3rd option, but just one injury to either of those three... even a short-term injury... and my confidence plummets...

Hecks stepped on his dick big time with this kid. Before he even put on a Browns uni I recall Heckert going into damage control mode regarding allegations of undisclosed injuries while at Tennessee. Hards showed some flashes over the years. Too bad things didn't work out for him.
Slot in Trich and Ogbo for the opening dance against the fish.

Part of me wants them to give Beanie Wells a call. Guy is a pretty tough running back when he can stay on the field... doubt he would take what they would want to pay him for a back up role, but might be able to get a solid season out of him if he had minimal carries. I feel like he is made of the same material that Hardesty is though.
Not to many backs make it through a full season with a full load anymore. When the Giants cut Bradshaw I kept watching for the Browns to make a play for him. That would have been a pretty nice backfield to have, but at the time there wasn't much need for him, and he gets dinged up from time to time too.
I think Jackson and Ogbo can handle the job, maybe Jackson can show us something. Like someone said though, walking a tight rope because if TRich goes down, it could get ugly...

I see that this FO is divesting itself of the marginal Heckert/Holmgren guys with Miller and Marecic out. Marecic, sure. I wasn't sure Miller was that bad....more hurt than bad.
But they certainly have whittled down that WR corps: Roberson/Norwood/Croom+Tannahill
