And Crow needs to secure the ball, no more fumbles. That killed some important drives

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...

PoeticG

I don't believe that Crow is a fumbler but he did fumble a few more that we luckily recovered. Perception is reality sometimes so he needs to make sure to secure the ball... more securely? haha

Mudfly

one more....but who's counting....

FO threw Po a bone...

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

Never looked at RB's myself as I thought we were good, but some info :

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.

Apparently hes the best fit rb in the 2015 draft for the zone scheme and its not even close. Check out the scouting report on nfl.com at the link below. That quote is at the bottom of the page.

Farmer spoke like he'll be used as the kick returner as well. Sounds like he fills a few needs

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.

Duke Johnson will be starting No. 1 RB this season. Go Browns!

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!!
