Matt Miller has done nothing but rave about Corey Davis. This tweet, specifically, was intriguing: [twitter=https://twitter.com/nfldraftscout/status/811425179855441920][/twitter] As for people speaking out about TP... I take anything coming from the players who played with him at tOSU with a huge grain of salt. It's well-known he was treated with kids gloves and given a separate set of rules to play by from Tressel. Undoubtedly, this rubbed other players the wrong way. Add on top of that the whole "Tattoo-Gate" issue and what that did to the team, coach, and football program and those guys downright hate him. I assume the F/O will have the numbers in place that they feel match the analytics behind it. Much like the free agents we lost last season, I see them holding firm with an offer they believe to be fair market. It will be up to TP to decide if he can get more on the outside. I suspect he'll re-sign here since he's voiced the desire to play in Cleveland and for Hue. EDIT: To correct the Twitter link.
Browns cornerback Joe Haden guaranteed that the Browns wouldn?t go 0-16 this season and the team is down to two chances to make that happen. Haden said on Thursday that he will put off surgery until after the season in hopes of helping back up that guarantee. Haden has had a couple of different groin injuries this season and said, via Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal, that he will have surgery shortly after the season in order to fix both of them. Haden said that he expects to be healthy a couple of months after the surgery and ready to go when the team starts its offseason program. Haden isn?t the only Browns player headed for surgery once the year is over. Wide receiver Terrelle Pryor confirmed this week that he will have surgery on his injured finger after the season comes to an end, but that he?s going to play in the final two games in hopes of helping the team to a win for the first time this year.
I was just watching the Corey Davis highlight reel and I'd agree with Miller, that's a really good comparison. Corey Davis does resemble Josh Gordon on the football field. Big strong physical WR with speed to burn....
I think his value will go up or down vs a very good defense in Wisky in the bowl game...if he plays good to above avg his stock will rise...if he plays ok it may fall since thats his best competition on the yr
I don't see any weakness in his game and the small school thing honestly wouldn't worry me at all. Sometimes I think that stuff gets blown out of proportion. Corey just looks like he's gonna be a stud in this league... Antonio Brown and Brandon Marshall came from the same conference. The MAC is quality college football, but there are great WR's from small schools all over.....Heck your Purple Raiders have put a couple really solid WR's in the NFL recently...The G.O.A.T. went to Mississippi Valley State...Then there is Randy Moss and Terrelle Owens and that's just off the top of my head with the small school guys, so I'm not sure that carries much weight. Yeah, we want to see Corey do it against the best competition, but I don't think there is much doubt he has the ability....
Im not disagreeing w u....I think hes a real solid player(havnt study his film yet) but Im saying if he can play well he will cement himself as one of the top WRs in the draft....if he doesnt play well and now hes being compared 2 a M. Williams or J Ross who may blow up in their bowl game...I just think he has the most 2 lose out of the top WRs in the draft during the bowl season
I agree 100% Stopper! He has the most to GAIN this bowl season. I understand what you are saying. I don't think he drops below an early/mid 2nd no matter what happens barring a major injury. However, if he can bust out against what the world considers a legitimate defense, then he would justify what is seen on his game film. That, imho, would propel him to the #1 overall wide receiver taken, possibly even in the top 10. Right now Mike Williams has a solid hold on that, but only because of his position in a Big 5 conference...he does it against future NFL players nearly every week, so there isn't any justification needed...but, skill set wise...man I love what Corey can do!
MERRY CHRISTMAS LOUNGE HOUNDZ! *HI* [video]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhCzxnCOH3M[/video] Here hoping you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New BEER *DRINK*
Merry Christmas Brownies! Got one in the good column and the 49ers gave you control of the #1 overall pick back.
Browns win & still have the number one pick Fred Greetham 9:46 PM By virtue of the 49ers comeback, 22-21 win over the Rams, the Browns still retain the top pick in the 2017 NFL Draft with one game to play CLEVELAND--Merry Christmas Browns fans! You might be able to have your cake and eat it too. Not only did the Browns get their first win of the season, they maintained their place in next year's NFL Draft.? The Browns were excited to get their first win of the 2016 season with a 20-17 win over the San Diego Chargers on Christmas Eve. However, it appeared to come at a cost--the top pick in the draft. Texas A & M defensive end standout Myles Garrett is the early consensus projected top player. However, the San Francisco 49ers who started the day with just one win, played the Los Angeles Rams in the 4 pm game Saturday and had a come from behind win to beat the Rams 22-21 to give them two wins on the season. The 49ers play their final game with the Seahawks in San Francisco and the Browns play in Pittsburgh. If the two teams are tied, the ?49ers currently would get the top pick by virtue of the current strength of schedule tie breaker.? Jacksonville started the day with just two wins, but picked up their third win eliminating them from the top pick.? Currently, the Browns own the Philadelphia Eagles first round pick and the Eagles are 6-9 with one game to play against the 13-2 Dallas Cowboys. The Eagles pick is currently No. 10.
MERRY CHRISTMAS BROWNS FANS!! Gift #1 ~ CLEVELAND BROWNS VICTORY!! [video]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACPaLwK4xCI[/video] Gift #2 ~ CLEVELAND BROWNS RETAIN #1 DRAFT PICK!! The Christmas tree lights are just a little brighter this morning, the coffee is a little less bitter this morning.... Merry Christmas Everyone in the Lounge!!
Jackson hopes to build on win Fred Greetham 11:34 AM Hue Jackson said he hopes Saturday's first win of the season is something the Browns can build on and carry over to the last game and into the off-season BEREA, Ohio--Sorry draft junkies! Hue Jackson and the players are not worried about messing up the Browns top spot in next year's NFL Draft.? With just one game to play, the Browns are sitting with the No. 1 pick in the draft. The Browns are assured of having either having the first or second pick in the draft. With a loss to the Steelers, the Browns will retain the top pick. However, but a win by the Browns and a loss by the 49ers to the Seahawks will likely give the top pick to the 49ers by virtue of a strength of schedule tiebreaker. The Browns also have the first-round pick of the Eagles, which currently stands at No. 10. A big unknown for next week's final game in Pittsburgh is whether the Steelers will rest their starters having already clinched the AFC North. Not having Ben Roethlisberger, Le'Veon Bell and Antonio Brown on the offensive side is obviously a game changer.? "(Winning) is a good feeling for us walking into the building today, obviously, a very different from every other Monday this season," Jackson said on a conference call Monday. "This is the way it is supposed to be. Really happy about our players and our coaching staff finally having an opportunity to experience victory. It took entirely too long for us to get one for our fans this year, but we were sure happy that it came. As long as I have been in this league, you come to understand that you can never take winning for granted. "The players on this team understand how hard it is to win in this league, and obviously, we hope to start and this might become the start of something really good for us," he said. "The hope is to carry some momentum from Saturday into the game this Sunday." Christian Kirksey agreed. ?Guys are walking around the locker room just waiting for this new week," Kirksey said. "Getting that win was definitely a great feeling. It is definitely a relief, man. We were just waiting on that first win, and we got it this past weekend. Guys are excited, and we are ready to get to work for this big week we have with Pittsburgh.? Jackson said the win was a huge relief to the entire organization and one win does make a big difference from being winless. "We have a long way to go,? Jackson said.??It validates the work, all the hard work that these guys put in. You have to give them something back. ?When you work as hard as this group has to try to win a game and you keep fighting through, it says a lot about our team, our coaches," he said. "No one has ever given up. I know sometimes it does not look as good we want to, but we have stuck to it and kept fighting.? Besides losing 14 straight to open the season--and 17 overall--the Browns had lost six-straight games by double digits until the 20-17 win over San Diego.? Jackson said he knows there needs to be a balance when you've won just one game.? ?Well there is a balance, you just said it," he said. "I think we have to respect that. This is about wins and losses, and we were able to do that. That was the game that we had and we were able to win it so I think that was great, but I do recognize where we are. We are nowhere close to where we want to be. We know there is a lot of work ahead of us to [continually] have that feeling that we had this past week. We know out in front of us there is a lot to do on all levels.? A video of Jackson surrounded by the veterans in the locker room after the win showed he and Joe Thomas very emotional. Jackson said the moment of he and the future Hall of Famer Thomas crying together will be a cherished memory. ?(Thomas) was all in," he said. "He has been all in from the beginning. I cried like a baby with him to be very honest with you. That was probably one of the moments that I will always remember in my coaching career watching a future (Pro Football) Hall of Famer overcome with emotion because he knows how hard he has worked to help this young team and these players get this victory. He was very deserving of it, and he did everything he could in that game to fight to make sure that we have a chance to win.? Jackson said he understands why the win was so?emotional?for he and the players.? ??Absolutely, I was emotional for our players," he said. "I know how hard this group has worked and I know how hard it has been for these guys to go out every week and give it everything they have and come up short and to be the brunt of jokes and to be talked about and people saying we were going to be 0-16 and there were parades [planned] and this and that. "I just thought all that emotion just came to a head," he said. "I was happy for them. It was more about them. It is not about me. It is about the players and the work that they put in. It is about our fans. It is about the people in the organization that come here every day and have to deal with people that do not sometimes see the long-term plan of where we are trying to get to so I get it. To me, that was an opportunity to exhale for them.? ?Andrew Hawkins agreed. "As a player, it's a relief," Hawkins said. "None of us wanted to be a part of a historical bad season." The only other NFL team to go 0-16 was the 2008 Detroit Lions.? Extra Points RG3 in Protocol: QB Robert Griffin III is still in the NFL's concussion protocol as of Monday according to Jackson. However, he wasn't ready to name QB Cody Kessler the starter for the season finale in Pittsburgh. "We'll go through the week and see where Robert is and make that decision," Jackson said.? Jackson was asked if Griffin would be the starter, if he was cleared. ?More than likely yes, but again, I just need to see where he totally is," ?he said. "You guys know how I am about these concussions. I really like to get all the information that I can before we make a decision on where to go and what to do." Jackson was impressed with what Griffin did against the Chargers.? ?Yeah, I thought he did a good job of standing in there in the first half and delivering some balls on third down and made some crucial third down throws and runs, as you just mentioned," he said. "He made some first downs with his legs, which extended drives which gave us a chance to score more points. I think we had probably more yards, more first downs, more points in the first half than we have had in a long time, and that is kind of the way you hope to play.? ?Haden Should Play: Jackson sounded optimistic that DB Joe Haden (neck) would be able to play in the final game against the Steelers. However, he said that DB Trey Caldwell (hamstring) likely wouldn't be able to play.? "I think (Haden) will be alright and wants to be out there with his teammates." Last week, Haden said he would need to have surgery on his groin muscles after the season. ?I think it shows the commitment that he wants to be out there," Jackson said. "I wish he would not tell everybody that because that is why they are going to keep throwing the ball at him (laughing). He has done everything I have asked him to do. I am proud of him for being out there with his teammates and fighting through when things are not just perfect because it is not just perfect for any football player at this time of the year. Obviously, not [perfect for] him with what he is going through, but he is out there and he is to be commended for it.?
