What's a Breshad Perriman?????????

could have used him today, maybe

A Corey Coleman

I will never forget Landry saying we should score FORTY points per game with our players

LOL

Latest addition to our drop corps.

Another inconsistent WR, just what we need....priceless

j/c:

Maybe we shouldn't have traded Gordon.

he drew a few flags IIRC ... and his slant game is always tough to stop

Do we run slant patterns fewer than any other team?

"but struggles with injuries, drops and overall inconsistency expedited his exit from the ravens after just three seasons.
"

Should fit right in.

He had a lot of miscommunications and misreads with Brady. We'll see how quickly he fixes those problems. He's certainly a freak.

he also made some clutch catches, and got the ball to the 1 yard line due to a PI call.

i still think as the weeks goes by, the trade looks worse and worse.

Absolutely, but I have him in fantasy, and I've always liked Bill, so I'm at peace with it.

Weren't we just going to cut Gordon? They announced it and then worked this deal with the Pats before he went into waivers.

Browns worked out six players today, group includes former TCU WR John Diarse and two other WRs, plus FB Dimitri Flowers, two OLs and a LB

#Browns say Rod Streater (neck fracture) is doing well, full recovery expected, surgery not believed to be required.

Woah! Fracture??

Man, he got lucky. I'm guessing his season is done at this point.
We are SERIOUSLY hurting at the WR spot.


How we don't look at Dez or Matthews now, or Leslie, or anyone with any talent, is surprising to me. We can't develop the youth in a vacuum, and they aren't going to get a lot of work if we can't stay on the field.

We need help. Real and immediate help.

Hue says, "we gonna coach'em".

Sounds like he will fit right in with our group....

Breshad Perriman hopes to write 'great chapter of my story' in Cleveland

Patrick Maks
BROWNS STAFF WRITER


Maybe a fresh start will help Breshad Perriman revive a career that hasn’t been what he thought it’d be when the Ravens drafted him 26th overall three years ago.

That’s what he and the Browns hope after signing the fourth-year wide receiver Saturday to add depth to a room that’s been ravaged by both injuries and inexperience.

Perriman said he’s moving past that experience in Baltimore, looking to write a new “great chapter of my story” in Cleveland.

“I’m really excited to be here. I’m excited to get things rolling,” he said Monday. “I know that it could be a huge blessing for me and I know that it will be.”

Perriman was inactive for Sunday’s loss to the Chargers but the Browns think he can potentially help a team down four wide receivers.

“He had no idea what any play is called here so he was down today,” head coach Hue Jackson said Sunday. “We’ll get him going this week. We will find a way to put the right guys out there to gives us a chance to win.”

Perriman spent three seasons with the Ravens before they waived him in September. During that span, he battled multiple injuries — including a partially torn PCL that sidelined him for all of his rookie year — and struggled with drops on the field.

“Every receiver is going to drop some passes. It’s a part of the game. I don’t really read too much into things like that,” he said. “Of course, you want to limit your drops. But for the most part, I’m a receiver, it’s going to happen. I am also going to make plays, as well.”

Perriman, a former standout at Central Florida who wowed teams with his speed, had his best season in 2016 when he caught 33 passes for 499 yards and three touchdowns. After limited production the following year (10 catches for 77 yards in 11 games), he said he feels like he has something to prove.

“I always feel like I have something to prove, no matter how good I’m doing or how bad things have been for me,” he said. “Got an extra chip on my shoulder. Just ready to go to work.”

He better be a good writer ... and not fantasy

This article will be crazy to look back at in two weeks when he is cut.

j/c:

I find it odd that so many posters are trashing the team and making one negative comment after another this year despite the roster improving dramatically w/in the last year.

In the past, I kept reading over and over about how "these guys get it," and "it feels different this time." Those rosters sucked and a lot of dumb decisions were made during that time.

Now, we finally have a FO in place that is making good moves and everything is negative for some folks.

Odd.

I will add that lately this board has been full of posts about hoe great Dorsey has done, and how he did things some of us posters would not have done but boy, how it has worked out so well, Dorsey knows what he is doing.

But now that he is taking a flyer on what will likey be a #3 or #4 WR, he is a fool.

Dorsey has earned enough trust from me to wait and see how it works out.

All I know is that this roster has improved under Dorsey's guidance.

When someone does something good, it is okay to say they did something good. When someone does something bad, it is okay to say they did something bad. The good John Dorsey has done, so far, far outweighs the bad. That doesn’t mean he is without failures.

The roster has improved this year, that is undeniable. The wide receiver depth is horrendous at this point in the season, that is also undeniable. John Dorsey is in charge of the roster, if an area of the roster is lacking it is his fault. One may say that Corey Coleman and Josh Gordon getting goofy is not Dorsey’s fault. I would say that even people on here knew we shouldn’t bank on the success of those players. I would argue that hoping Breshad Perriman is going to work out is a huge overstep (I think posters hope for Perriman, not Dorsey) and similar to counting in Gordon or Coleman.

The WR position WAS upgraded, but that was during TC in my opinion .. now it's a shell of itself

Good point.

We were counting on Gordon and something went down.

Coleman did not step up.

Higgins was playing pretty good, but got hurt.

Callaway should have been the 5th WR, now he is number 2.

Willies looked good in a limited role, but suffered a freak injury.

Kinda hard to bash Dorsey for all of that.

I get the fact that Dorsey wants/believes in Callaway, Ratley, Willies ... but it wouldn't be the end of the world to get a vet in here right now IMO

After Sashi and Farmer were the recipients of every excuse in the book, I find it odd that so many people are not trusting Dorsey.

I wanted us to sign Matthews, but man, it's kinda hard to dispute Dorsey after all the good he has done. Don't you think?

This isn't Sashi, who let talent like Mack, Schwartz, Gipson, Benji, etc walk.

It isn't Farmer who drafted dudes like Gilber and Manziel.

This is the Dorsey, who has improved the talent on the roster more in one year than any FO dude has done in their tenure w/the new Browns.

C J Board and Jeff Janis are both still available. They both would also help our Special Teams.

We might choose one of them if we want to stick with the youth movement (and maybe Baker has more rapport with them)

So is my math correct that we only have 4 active receivers on the roster (unofficially) and one of those is Perriman who does not know our playbook yet...

Honestly, we do need to grab at least one, preferably two, vets. Only because of what is behind Landry...Callaway and Ratley I think have futures in front of them...But I don't have the confidence that they can just step in.

GM makes an interesting point concerning Board and Janis...They both know the system, have worked with the QB's...mostly with Baker...There is something to be said for that... It doesn't solve our immediate problem though... I mean sure they are expendable...but maybe a little too expendable...

I am not against Dez at this point...I am not against looking at Amari Cooper...If they give up a first for him they should be shot....Heck...I am not against looking at OBJ (but not for 2 #1's) They HAVE to do something..they will do something...but dang the reserves are limited....

Regardless, I see an influx of FA's coming in next year plus draft picks...

I agree. You can't make extended plans for a rash of injuries. By this time of the year, you are just picking up guys who have had 31 other chances to land on a roster.

Not sure what other teams practice squads look like. You'd think many of those guys are better than street free agents. Teams have them stashed for a reason. I'd start looking there.

I am not arguing this. My point is that we do not know if this is a bad move or not yet - Perriman has not played a down for us yet. What I said was that we should wait to see how it plays out before we judge the move.

Remember how we traded Kizer for Randall and a bunch of people complained about how that was not going to help us because Randall has only played CB in the pros, and not played FS since college? A lot of people thought that was a bad move but now that we see him at FS for us, no one is complaining anymore.

Perriman can easily not pan out. But I will wait and see before I say that Dorsey "did bad."

Right now, in this situation .... I’d rather roll the dice on a vet for one ... if u wanna go young i get it ... but if were gonna go young ... how about we take a shot at a dude that can catch ...

I’m hoping Perriman can shock me and catch the ball ... thats a LONG SHOT at best ... we all ready have one Perriman on the team in Callaway .... IMO u can’t add a dude like Perriman to a WR room that all ready has one athletic dropper in it ... especially when u throw Njoku into the mix ...

Dorsey’s done a great job so far IMO ... he’s not perfect and I don’t understand this signing ... i like recievers that can catch the ball .... u may have noticed that after we signed Landry ... ...

I liked Higgins from day 1 cause he could catch .. i like Willie’s now cause he can catch ...

I really hope Higgins can get back soon ... he’s Bake’s security blanket ....

Yeah, to me Higgins was a big loss for our offense ... both production wise and safety wise for Baker

Some people counted on Gordon, others not so much

Don't think anyone counted on Colemon either.

Callaway has always been an intriguing prospect, but I would say none expected him to be the 5th WR... he is/was a sink or swim type of player, he has to be on the field, since he is one of the few that can stretch the field.

IMHO what we are missing the most right now is a 2nd dependable TE and use more Duke in the slot.

We need speed to stretch the D both vertically and horizontally, so I would probably get a shifty back and move duke to the slot.

Put another way...
I'm not sure there is a single position group that, if hit with rapid fire injuries like the WRs have, would look any better than them right now. Even with the 2 offseasons worth of ammo used this past offseason, we can't expect to be fully dialed in at all positions. We still need a couple more starts and some more depth for each group.

I am usually in the wait and see camp. Perriman is Corey Coleman with a different name. What would we think if the Coleman signed with a team?
