    Me too. It's not a big issue, but it helps explain why Peter King was getting bad vibes from a couple players on Sunday.

    And because of his agent's comments, Steptoe's been waived:

    BROWNS MAKE ROSTER MOVES

    The Cleveland Browns today signed free agent wide receiver Edward Williams, the club announced. In addition, the team waived/injured wide receiver Syndric Steptoe.

    Originally signed as an undrafted free agent by the Washington Redskins on April 28, 2008, Williams was released on April 29 and subsequently spent time on the Baltimore Ravens’ practice squad during the 2008 season. He was released by Baltimore on July 22, 2009.

    During his career at Lane College, Williams started 24 of 26 games and recorded 110 receptions for 1,608 yards with 13 touchdowns. Born on November 24, 1982, the 6-4, 210-pound Williams prepped at Robert E. Lee (Montgomery, Ala.) High School.

    SO I'n begining to think Manginin and company don't think as much of our WR core as we do..we have a thread trying to figure out which of the guys we like they are going to keep...and then bring in another unknown....

    strictly camp body. This is for the best, Step was taking away reps from the rest cuz Mangie was giving him respect.

    On another note, Steptoe should fire his idiot agent and the agent should never again get another client. What a moron.

    Is a pig's ass pork?

  • Yeah, Williams will be fighting an uphill battle just to make it onto the p-squad. But he could have some upside.

    From an article ranking '08 small school draft prospects:

    22. Edward Williams, Lane College, 6-4, 206, Wide Receiver

    Williams brings NFL size to the table and has just enough speed (4.5 range) to be a real sleeper at the next level. He is disciplined, physical and has turned heads with his precise route-running ability. Williams isn't afraid to catch passes over the middle, but needs to develop more consistency.

    He reportedly did well at Texas vs. the Nation:

    Texas vs. The Nation - Nation Wednesday Practice: His size makes him stand out on the field, but he is not awkward coming out of his stance and can move his feet and stop quickly to get in and out of cuts. His coach even pointed out one of his routes to the other receivers: "that's how to run a route!" They ran WR screens to him multiple times because of that size and his ability to accelerate in the open field. Long strides make him a legitimate deep threat, as well.

    AKA, "Toach Mangini wohked us too hawd."

    Cry about it. This ain't a RAC and Rolls TC anymore, although on his behalf, thats the only one he ever knew. Man up and quit crying. Its not like he could catch before the injury anyway, he was the worst player in camp so far before his injury

    Exactly- this ain't Camp Rollover Romeo. If Steptoe was going to develop into something special we'd have seen it long ago. Like another 7th round pick Marquis Colston.

    There is a point of pushing players too hard- Coughlin eventually got himself canned in Jacksonville because of it. But Mangini hasn't developed a drill sergeant rep- at least not yet. One thing's already apparent though- he's not going to put up with any BS from guys that want to play for the Browns.
