Browns cut Terrell Pryor, claim Robert Turbin

Mike Pettine explains why Browns coveted Robert Turbin, moved on from Terrelle Pryor
Pettine expects Turbin’s impact to be significant in a young Browns backfield when he returns to full strength. Running backs coach Wilbert Montgomery was a fan of Turbin’s when he was still a college player at Utah State, Pettine said.
“He’s downhill. When you watch him play he is physical. You talk about playing with an attitude, that’s the way he is,” Pettine said. “When you go down the list of attributes what we’re looking for in a running back, and then also just the bonus part of it is the person that we’re bringing to the room – nothing but positive opinions on how he is in the locker room, in the meeting room, on the practice field – it was just a move that we felt was best for us.”
With Turbin’s entrance, of course, came the exit of converted wide receiver Terrelle Pryor, whom the Browns originally kept on their 53-man roster “largely because of his potential,” Pettine said.
“We viewed that spot as the 53rd roster spot and there was a lot of debate over it,” Pettine said. “Terrelle certainly has the ability to make the transition to receiver. We were hopeful that we were going to be able to have that time to do it, but that, to me, is viewed as a luxury. Given where we were when we looked at our running back room, given our circumstances and having always been a Robert Turbin fan, just admiring how he plays and the mentality he takes to the field, that was an opportunity that we felt we couldn’t pass up.”
“Will Terrelle Pryor be successful in the NFL at wide out? There’s a pretty good chance of that,” Pettine said. “But just given the timing for us, it just wasn’t right.”
The whole "downhill" thing also addresses the West trade.
So Winn was 52... Housler can't be lower than 51... can he?

Interesting article about the dead weight from each NfL team being cut. Guess which one we picked up (hint: he will be the first to appear when you start the scroll through). Actually there is another we picked up as you scroll through. Might be a QB.
