Wish he hadn't. Was hoping they could stash him without him gettin picked up. Probably doubtful now.

Was never going to happen. Cut Oby, Lewis, Etc...

Tate, West, Crowell at RB

Though I'll say West didn't have a good preseason.

Cut Lewis?!? But, hadn't I been hearing Foot say that Lewis was a pure ass stud because he had good college numbers? WHAT HAS HAPPENED?

Lewis looked better than west. West really struggled.

No need to stash him if he's on the roster. I will be pissed if a scrub like Oby makes it over him.

They'll keep 4 backs. Crowell gave then no option unless a trade happens. You keep Lewis because he's the 3D/scat back. West is a 3rd round pick so he's not going anywhere.

Hawkins
Austin
Benjamin
Johnson
Burleson
Gabriel

I think Johnson is kept, but keeping DB Berry could bump him off if they only go with 5.
I think it is 4 RB, last spot goes to Lewis over Ogby.

The 8-10 yard patterns might clog up the field.

I just hope Schwartz doesn't trip Tate up unintentionally laying on his ass in the backfield.

D Lewis, other than a really bad fumble, had a good camp. I do think that his injuries have taken a toll.

12 carries for 30 yards is good?

If this staff wont play Gilkey, I'd say bring in incognito and see what he has left in the tank. Greco was very disappointing IMO. Or they could just fuckign playing Gilkey, who was good.

No, but he wont be running much. Id look at his catches, since he will be the 3rd and 3+ RB almost exclusively, imo.

However, those #s are impressive at all either.

I respect the browns for doing it. He played like shit and didn't even practice half the time. They do need some wrs really bad though.

We also cut Gilkey. Don't understand that one, thought he was our best 2nd string Oline player.

McFadden was a byproduct of the unholy trinity of Banner/Lombardi/Farmer's failure in the 2013 draft. He was a complete bum and had no business being picked where he was.

I would like to be able to say thankfully we are passed that point of trying to show the league we're smarter than everyone else, but Farmer has picked up the Joe Banner arrogance gene in spades as we saw by his outright refusal to address the WR position to the detriment of our entire season.

Just looked at all the cuts. There are def some guys out there at WR for the Browns to take a look at.
