Yep....last year our backs caught only 30ish passes the whole season.....ouch!!!

A lot of that is on shanny for not even trying, so lets hope our new OC see's things a little differently....but this kid will be the primary target.....

West better bring his A game or he'll be #3 in a blink of an eye.....

Are you saying our previous OC was not the end all-be all guy we were led to believe? Heresy, blasphemy! Burn this witch at the stake!! 😆

Notice him coming from the backfield right up the seam against a linebacker? Very Ladainian Tomlinson like. That's the primary reason he's on this team, he brings receiving abilities Crow and West simply don't have.

Speaking of Ladanian, he said he really liked the pick and he should know.]]>https://brownsboard.com/post/503268https://brownsboard.com/post/503268Sat, 02 May 2015 20:34:03 GMT<![CDATA[Reply to Duke Johnson on Sat, 02 May 2015 18:44:53 GMT]]>Farmer spoke like he'll be used as the kick returner as well. Sounds like he fills a few needs

Check out the scouting report on nfl.com at the link below. That quote is at the bottom of the page.

Adam Caplan @caplannfl · 15h 15 hours ago #Duke Johnson at combine. 5-9 1/10, 207. Mid 4.4s at his pro day workout. #CLEpick

Adam Caplan @caplannfl · 15h 15 hours ago Duke Johnson will wind up being the starter at RB for the #Browns.. Perfect fit for new offensive system. #CLEpick

Ian Rapoport @RapSheet · 15h 15 hours ago The #Browns took Duke Johnson, working him out during the process. They begged the visit stay secret. It did.

And the RB receiving woes included our sterling pair of FBs. Also Tate could catch...

Perception is reality sometimes so he needs to make sure to secure the ball... more securely? haha

Hmmm, keep hearing this, but he only lost 2 balls and one was on a bad toss from Hoyer....so im not so worried that he's really a fumbler, per se...

That killed some important drives and made the game harder than it should have been. No turnovers, grind the rock, make plays in space, win games.

I can see Hawkins, Gabriel and Johnson making teams pay for going all out on Manziel. 🙂

I'm not alone in that...

but this kid seems like he could end up being a STEAL and could really make

a difference.

Looks like yet another need filled.....

O line depth.....check

Run stopper.....check

Pass rusher.....check

Punt runner.....check
