Browns Analysis Corrections and Obvious Things

1: Joe Haden was not the third cornerback on this 2017 roster.  He was the fourth, based on preseason performance.
2: This has nothing to do with Osweiler's salary.  The Browns were over 50 mil under the cap prior to this trade, and none of Osweiler's 2018 salary is guaranteed.
3:  The Browns are left with three proven NFL cornerbacks, plus Stribling and Wilson.  Are you going to start talking about cornerbacks like you talk about wide receivers?  We need a geezer so we can kick Stribling to the curb?

Joe signed with the Steelers now.  It could take him some time to learn their defensive system.  Joe was never a dirty player or cheap shot artist.  They're going to have to teach him that from the ground up.

Head Enabler Mike Tomlin is a former defensive back, so that should speed things up.  But Joe is such a nice guy, they'll probably need to feed him gunpowder and beat him.

4: Rannell Hall and Jordan Leslie have combined for 12 passes this offseason?  I think that might be Leslie's total.  I know for sure he has ten.  Does that writer work for MSNBC or something?   I wasn't aware that Leslie was a Trump supporter!

This writer also said that Payton, Higgins, and Louis combined for 63 offseason catches.  If we include the scrimmage, that's over 15 catches per "game".

This is garbage.  Statistics can say whatever you want them to say when you make them up.  I doubt that these three combined have as many receptions as Leslie all by himself.  Corey Coleman just caught up to his level of production last week.  

Update: Well, the preseason finale is in the books, and we can see what...oh lookie here!  Which wide receiver caught the most balls hmmm...for the most yards?  Which quarterback did best I wonder....

I can't believe the comments on Leslie after his one-handed catch "Ya budd denn he drobbed a easy one".  It was his FIRST DROP SINCE HE'S BEEN HERE what the hell is the matter with these people?

And here again, a bunch of two-back and two-tight end sets and they're talking about adding a free agent wide receiver as if Leslie doesn't even exist!!!  As if even two wide receivers will manage to be on the field at the same time much more than half the time.  As if young receivers never develop or improve.

Based on his playing time in this one, Leslie would have caught eleven or twelve passes had he played full-time!

I ask you again: What the hell has this guy got to do to get some respect?  How many clutch first down catches and TDs from various quarterbacks?  Need more one-handers?  He's standing right in front of you.  Why can't you see him?

Nobody should be surprised by the defense.  A lot of NFL teams will be watching the this roster on cut-down day.

Obligitory disclaimers here:  Blahh blah blah.

Well, since Osweiler didn't play at all it looks like Hogan has a good shot.  Kessler was servicable and showed off some nifty running.  They'll listen to offers for him now, too; Kevin Hogan has passed him up.
