Yup. He was previously with the Vikings. This is what I found online: claimed on waivers by the Cleveland Browns on October 3, 2014.^[12]

We ended up with him and Minnesota ended up with Charles Johnson.

On if Hartline is establishing more of a connection with McCown:

"He is but that's who Brian is, that's who he's been. As I mentioned before, when I was in New York it was always –all this guy does is get open and catch the ball other than that he's not very good (laughter). He continues to prove that here. Ultimate professional, comes out and works every day. I think he has great body control. His catch radius is tremendous and he's a veteran, he just knows how to get open, he understand it."

@PFF: Most missed tackles forced by WRs from 2015 draft class:

1. A. Cooper 26

2. V. Mayle 26

3. K. White 24

4. J. Hardy 20

Only person that would get fucked up on that field would be me and these knees.

Pryor could always be more of an inline receiver, but aligning him off shoulder of a tackle in the traditional sense is just a big no-no. He might be worse than Julius Thomas as a blocker.

We carried six. Smith was added fairly early on. I put that in a thread somewhere, maybe it was this one?

@wargograw said:

We actually started with and carried 5 for most of the season(Gabriel, Hawkins, Austin, Moore, Benji)....then added #6 when we signed Byrd(who we quickly switched out for Rodney Smith).....and then finished with 7, after adding Gordon.....(I think we sent Gipson to IR to create that spot)....

Gabriel, Hawkins, Benjamin, and Austin last year right? Now we've got

Gabriel

Hawkins

Bowe

Those three are the locks right? Tia obviously thinks Hartline is a lock too. So two of

Pryor

Mayle

Benjamin

are getting the shaft, unless we can carry an extra. I haven't seen anyone suggest Mayle may be cut. Is that a possibility? Obviously he would probably make it to the PS.

Tia, if your headed to Columbus Friday, Bring your Football Gear. Were looking for a few good men to even get to Friday.

Now that I think of it, I could just take off work and try my hand at a little RB one more time. Would it be worth getting good my ass kicked by Dansby? Yep

I think Orchard mentioned the lava-lavas in his recent interview when he was asked what he thought about Danny.

Orchard's answer started with "He's crazy"... he amplified so all would know that he meant "in a good way."

May just introduce the right amount of "loose" into the D to make it fun... Tour

*********************************************************************************

Ya gotta love Danny Shelton. The man rocks, and he's fun at doing it.

Didn't know he bought those for the defense. The Browns are developing

into a TEAM. I need a Haden, Thomas, Shelton jersey.... all in one....

Which also shows he's confident...feeling good about his play....not presssing.....etc.....

Also that he's bought lava-lavas for the D and Robertson's been wearing his.

May just introduce the right amount of "loose" into the D to make it fun...

thinking, if he plays well the rest of the week and in the scrimmage, he will be seeing some #1 reps next week.....

they showed that option pass on SC live during their 'brief' browns camp report. it was pretty sweet (albeit no opposing defense. browns d played off the receivers and off players as if they had the chronic bubonic).

I have a hard time believing that Pryor, Mayle or Benji will start over a known commodity like Hartline.

Of that list, Pryor and Mayle have a shot. Certainly not at the early going of a season.

I would like to point out one thing no discussed about Pryor yet, is his QB experience being an overwhelming benefit to playing receiver.

As a QB turned WR he'll already have a great understand about route concepts, timing, reading coverage and being on the same page as McCown.

The little mental nuances of the position that can take time for other plays to develop, Terrelle should have a strong grasp on them already.

I talked about when Tannehill moved to receiver in 2009. Yes it works really well.

1) He was injured....though it appears minor.....walked off under his own power....

2) He threw a touch down on an option pass....yep.....Tee Dee Passsssssssssssss......
