More Rodney Lesliefield by Captain Obvious

I try not to redundate (and yes I invented the word @all rights preserved), but usually can't help it.  Guys like Terry Pluto, who aren't ripping me off, keep leading with their jaws, and I just can't resist:

Obligitory disclaimer:  I love Terry.  He is smart, and knows his stuff.  He is objective, too.  But occasionally, he is oblivious:

As Terry tries to figure out what's wrong with the 2017 Browns' passing game, he's right about the quarterback "making" wide receivers, rather than the reverse---in general.

(I say "in general" because Josh Gordon made every quarterback he played with look like Tom Bady).

He was also right that the blame here and now is likely a toss-up between Kizer and his ham-handed receivers.

But he tosses Jordan Leslie into the same "discard bin" as Kasen Williams.

Well, these guys are both really talented undrafted guys who have been in the NFL briefly and made big splashes in preseason.

...but then Terry repeats how he wanted another vedderrunn wr not named Britt, and...I can't fathom this...cites a lack of chemistry between Kizer and all his new receivers.

See where I'm going here?  

For the one of you who might be new around here: Jordan Leslie has BEEN HERE as long as Kizer, and stuck at the bottom of the depth chart WITH him, and these two already have "chemistry"!

Kizer is a rookie.  Leslie is NOT.  Leslie, just like Williams, has been in the NFL, coached by NFL coaches in NFL systems.

Terry dismisses both (equally and context-free) because they were initially undrafted, and were then repeatedly waived by various teams.

Hue seems to agree with Terry.  When asked about that great critical one-handed catch, Hue broke the sound barrier going into "all these young guys" mode!  But aside from Coleman and Leslie, everybody else keeps falling on their faces over and over again!

Why is the highlight reel clutch-catcher who was obviously THE best wide receiver on this roster regarded as the crumbs left over after "all these guys?"  Why can't Hue Jackson even force himself to focus on this one player for one short sentence?

The Browns real "key to victory" over the Bungles this sunday might be Jordan Leslie...or more accurately, whether or not he is allowed to play.

I said, allowed to play.  Ahead of Dwayne Bowe and the Invisible man.

Moving along, the dirtiest player in the NFL is back from his latest suspension.  I was thinking he might cost the Browns this game, but then remembered he might also GIVE the Browns a win.

Vontaze Burfict is sub-human.  He never learns.  Jerome Harrison and Suh have backed off, a little...but Burfict is hell-bent on inflicting as much brain damage as possible on his fellow players, and no doubt dreams of achieving Jack Tatum status: Rendering somebody a quadrapalegic.

Burfict should be a Steeler.  Head Enabler Mike Tomlin could point to him as and example of how he wants his defense to "play".

Burfict would be all-in on a trade, since, as  Steeler, he knows he can keep trying to maim/cripple/kill other football players without sanction, or even significant league punishment.

It's amazing how second hand smoke and drinks on a plane can end a carreer, while this psychopath can keep maiming people, taking brief suspensions off, and returning to do it again into perpetuity!

Anyway, Burfict will stiffen (how appropriate a description for this particular player's impact) the Bengals defense.  I couldn't take Crowell in Daily fantasy because of him.  

And I do not forsee many short crossing patterns by anybody smaller than DeValve or Njoju (ok well maybe Duke because he can DUCK and burn a decapitation attempt)...

No Garrett this week.  Well GOOD!  That is, LET HIM HEAL.  FOR SURE.  100%.

The Browns will win if Kizer has r e l i a b l e receivers...I mean if the most reliable guys, who he is most familiar with, are allowed to play--but noooo ok sorry bye
