To dez, or not to dez

Kvoethe

If the price is right...what can it hurt?

We will never see the right price.

Ghoolie

Seems we are packed at WR, no?

we missed gordon in the redzone tonight. That small forward at wr tgat can outjump everyone. Landry's unguardable everywhere else but in the zone, we need more physicality. I know gordons coming back, but it would be nice to have both until we know if we got the old gordon or not.

plus deep sets with dez and gordon would be sick

Report is that's why Dez is still looking for work. His asking price is too high. He's going to sit out until some team has a major injury at WR- and then ask for a King's Ransom.

I feel as Dez brings more risk than reward to an already loaded WR group. IMO

This^^Dez is 6'2 220lbs. Are under 6ft, under 200lb. smurfs group of WR's could not get open last night. The 4 redzone shots vs 4 runs were called to get Landry a score. And, we stunk in the redzone last season badly,it needed called in preseason games..Njoku,Willies were TD's thrown high to tall receivers. The seattle quick slant play should have been picked again also..Callaway maybe 5'11 but at least he's over 200lbs..we could work a rotation of Dez,Gordon,Callaway all getting time to stay fresh.Higgins can still get his reps also..For once in quite a while I'd like see our WR core bigger & more physical than that team in the Penn..

No see Britt and Bowe for details......but I expect the football guy to do it

I see no reason to jettison a promising young player for a head case one year rental

nickers

No.. He's a phony POS.

That's possible -plus- the new BROWNS braintrust might be playing this thing out in their own way. I think they might know more than we mere mortals on Flash and other things.

Better no Dez than an overpriced prima donna headcase.

Yes yes yes.

Njoku and DeValve should be our redzone (at least 5 yard line and in) go to guys.

And throw in Landry with TT or BM and call the PAT team.

Well...all the attempts to get the ball to Landry down there failed last night.

With an NFL record 400 catches in his first four years I don't think that will be a problem.

I would hope not...though...except for last year, his TD totals not all that impressive.

Yes he has been more of a possession move the chains guy, hopefully he will be a more important role with the still somewhat unsettled WR BROWNS team.

Flash - long guy, Landry/Johnson the short, in between guys.

I'm not sure their is a football team on Earth worse at throwing fades than the Browns, regardless of who is throwing them.
