Weeden will throw to Little, who was a rookie last season. Little hadn't played football for his senior season. Prior to this, he had played wide reciever for a little over one season. He was a converted running back.
The Browns wide recievers led the NFL in drops last season...and this one player dropped the majority of those passes. More than all the other recievers combined.
Due to Massequoi's I N J U R I E S, Little neccessarily became number one wide reciever way, way, way ahead of schedule. He got open. In fact, they all got open. Do you understand that they got open? Are we clear on that: These wide recievers got open. Read that again if you don't yet comprehend it.
They got open. So they can get open. That's half of what a wide reciever does. The other half is catching the damn ball.
Now, this raw rookie dropped most of those balls. Do you think he will keep dropping them after he knows what he is doing? Well, we only have about one season of college films to look at, but he caught pretty well in college. This means what? .........-sigh- it means he can catch (jeez).
None of the other guys had a history of drops...but then, they didn't drop that many in '11 anyway. You hallucinated that. This is rationalization, and not paying attention. You drink too much beer and get distracted, and before you know it you don't know Little from Massequoi or Cribbs. It's simpler to just say they all suck. So you do. Everybody says it so it must be true. Sometimes I wish I could be as blissful as you.
Weeden will throw to the guys that were here before, plus Benjamin, and hopefully Rodney Mitchellfield too. It will be their first full offseason in the West Coast offense, so that Weeden should be able to TRUST THEM TO RUN CORRECT ROUTES, and they can play more and think less. They should again get open, and this time CATCH.
Now, some of the comments I've read are just brain-dead.
Benjamin has great straight-line speed AND runs good routes and gets open. The guy you are talking about is eight inches taller and is the one you wanted the Browns to draft instead of Weeden. This is Benjamin, not Hill.
The PD excerpted a Blog in which the guy says that Benjamin and Richardson will help a lot. Like an attorney, he laid out a logical, insightful case: Defenses last season didn't bother trying to double cover anybody, flooded the short zones, and threw the kitchen sink at Colt.
Benjamin is too dangerous for that. Ask Hanford Dixon. It's harder to press smurfs than it is to press big recievers. You have to guess which way they'll try to get by you, and go that way. If you don't, they're already there before you can move your feet.
They'll get in everybody else's face, but might well cover Benjamin soft to keep a lid on him. That's pulling a cornerback away from the box. If they try to bump him, they'll have to keep a safety back, because no cornerback can recover if he's beat by this guy.
I'm rambling--getting into more detail than the Blogger went into. But it was well thought out and well-written, and these commentors lynched him! That's where I read the one clown saying Benjamin couldn't get open. Another guy said move Schwartze to guard, among other things. At least the idiot who hates Richardson because he's pigeon-toed didn't chime in.
None of them made any sense, and it was all ad-hominum. They hated what he wrote, but not one of them coherently managed to say why. Just loud, venemous noise.
Ah, nevermind.
An alleged pro wrote about the linebackers and was terrible. James Micheal Johnson excelled in coverage, and isn't slow. He was a little over 4.6 at the combine, which is good tight end speed. Linebackers who clock faster than that are uncommon, and many are specialists who can't get off blocks and stop the run.
Moreover, sure he'll back up Jackson, but he's here to play OUTSIDE, and to START, because for anybody with eyes, Fujita has become a liability on passing downs. I like him too, but that's how age works! Johnson was drafted partly because he can cover!
Yeah yeah yeah we're all doomed the sky is falling everybody sucks you know better than Tom yeah yeah ok...
