  • Josh Gordon 'very ready,' now Browns need to get him involved

    BEREA, Ohio -- Josh Gordon first wanted to clarify that he’s ready to roll Sunday when the Cleveland Browns play the league’s 32nd-ranked pass defense in Atlanta.

    “Very ready,” Gordon said Wednesday in his first media gaggle since April, well before his 10-game suspension became reality. “I had a long time to get ready for it.”

    Gordon then wanted to clarify he didn’t really tell ex-teammate Nate Burleson’s he would “tear up this league” upon his return.

    “Well we might have a misquote,” Gordon said to laughter. “I told him I definitely wanted to outwork everybody at my position or anybody opposing me. Just to put that effort out there in that leadership role though showing what I can do on the field, in a sense throughout the entire league.

    .

    .

    .

    “Just use me as an asset wherever is the easiest for them to do,” he said.

    Gordon remains one off-field misstep away from a one-year ban (though he's also one clean year from having his slate wiped clean, with the Commissioner's approval). That is his significant challenge, to avoid that step. His other challenge comes on the field, but that’s something he called the easy part.

    .

    .

    .

    Gordon plays a position where he is a standout. He’s been working out at the team’s facility for 10 games. He appears to be in superb shape.

    A variation on a Keyshawn Johnson-popularized phrase seems appropriate about Gordon: He’s back ... just throw him the damn ball.

    Heard Grossi on the Radio saying the only way we may be able to win is by scoring a lot of points . . . ^ could work.

  • Word around the league is that other teams are green with envy about JG. He is gonna smoke Atlanta on Sunday, and the browns are poised to weed out the competition and make the playoffs. I'll bet the whole pot on it. Get loud browns fans.

    Offense is going to take off with addition of Gordon and subtraction of Tate. Crowell and West are studs. Gordon and Hawk are going to be sick together. Even with the defense wounded we win big . Great Zomboni spoiler: 43-24 Browns.

    43 is absurd but more possible WITH JG Back. I see a Vikings style game of 2013., Gordon with 9 for 180 and Hoyer with a game winner at the buzzer. Falcons aren't a joke, but play in a weak division. After last game I'm not confident. Defense is still limping as far as front 7 goes

  • But the defense should also benefit from this, as Gordon being back=longer drives and more points(hoprfully)

    That's what will be the difference between this year and last. We have other reliable receivers that will take advantage of the attention on Gordon, and with his speed and talent, Gordon will still be able to make plays too. Hoping it works right out of the gate, but I'm guessing there will be some bumps in the road.

    This can be the KEY to us winning games. If we can score early and score a few times, make other teams play from behind meaning they will have to throw more. Take the pressure off our front 7 and we win, bottom line.

  • I bet he gets 10 or 12 targets...hes ready.

  • He passed me up on the freeway today after practice and he was going about 110. This is the second time he passed me up on the freeway where he was absolutely zipping passed everyone. That's my news for you

    Hopefully not a joint.

    What donyou expect from someone dumb enough to get a giant tattoo of his name and number on his back? The kid is Retarded, but I'll be wearing his jersey this Sunday, so I guess I have no right to talk shit...

  • Not sure if this has been mentioned before, but someone posted the prop bets on Gordon:

    http://www.reddit.com/r/fantasyfootball/comments/2mtaqw/vegas_predictions_for_josh_gordon_bovadalv_week/

    Josh Gordon O/U 75.5 yards receiving in Week 12. Over @ -115, Under @ -115

    Josh Gordon O/U 5 receptions in Week 12. Over @ -115, Under @ -115

    Will Josh Gordon score a TD in week 12? Yes @ even, No @ -130

    Josh Gordon Total TDs in the 2014 regular season O/U 2.5. Over @ -140, Under @ +110

    The total TDs looks very light...

  • I wouldn't expect too much from JG just yet. If you watched the pre season games before the suspension he dropped quite a few and looked a little lackadaisical . Maybe he was just expecting the verdict and was kind of bummed. I hope he's getting a lot of reps and gets acclimated soon. If he's half as good as he was last year we're in business. I hope the only thing he smokes from now on is defensive backs!

    GO BROWNS!

  • Just glad to see him back and he should have an immediate impact. The rest of the offense should benefit from his return.

  • I want to see some old school run n' shoot formations with Hoyer slinging it out to JG, Hawk, Gabe and Benji ... you cant cover all four of those fuckers.

    Four WR and a single back set would be refreshing. I think I can count the 4 receiver sets this season, that did not include either a split TE or RB, on one hand.

    Aside (due to ignorance around the line shorthand): Are the "Over @" and "Under @" figures bet counts or something else?

  • Gordon can be key to the offense on Sunday whether he actually gets the targets or not. The perception alone is there and can be a huge asset. If Gordon doesn't get the yardage, he'll definitely draw attention away and the other receivers will get it. I could see Hawkins having a 100+ yard game with a touchdown or two if the Falcons fear Flash. (Say that three times fast.)
