Gramps Engram: Great Move!

The Browns needed an experienced wide reciever to show the young guys the ropes. I mean, it's very complicated:

First, you have to understand what the Quarterback is saying in the huddle. If you don't, you won't know what to do or when the ball will be snapped or anything! Then, you need to look at the defense pre-snap, and diagnose what they're going to do to cover you. You might need to adjust your route. Then, after it's snapped, you have to adjust to what they actually DO do with you!

Without an experienced veteran, how could these young guys ever possibly learn all that abstractionalized complexity?

And Engram is only 37. Many wide recievers have played into their...well he's really got a lot of experience! Maybe more than the coaches!

I just hope they paid him enough, with guaranteed money for a good three years, since as we know it takes so long for young recievers to learn how to play.

Now that Engram will be on board, maybe they won't be forced to use Moore as a reciever. maybe they can afford to cut him now. And that new guy--Practice Squad for sure! Wouldn't want to have to activate him any time this season--bive him a good three years to learn all the complexitationalized abstractionalizations on the bench. Might wreck his confidence by forcing him to experience any real action too soon!

Oh yeah--great move! I'm so glad the new regime is upholding all those time-honored traditions.........
