Smart Move? RB Jerome Harrison has been Attending OTA's

PrintAt least one of the Cleveland Browns remaining restricted free agents is participating in the team's offseason training activities -- RB Jerome Harrison. It's probably a good move by Harrison. Although he had an extremely impressive stretch to close out last season (561 yards rushing in 3 games), with the team drafting Montario Hardesty in the second round, Harrison can't afford to sit around and believe his starting job is guaranteed.
Harrison was not present for the OTA session that took place Thursday, but his absence is reportedly unrelated to his contract situation. Either way, head coach Eric Mangini is pleased to see Harrison at work:
"I think it's good for everyone to be here because it's the second round of install and it helps the player and it helps us for when we go to camp,'' said Mangini. "I'm glad Jerome is here and I expect him to be here next week.''
Harrison did not participate in the team's first batch of OTA sessions last week.

Harrison has competition from [insert player here] every year.

Right, but he’s always held a position lower than No. 1 on the depth chart heading into that competition.

This is good news. Hopefully Vickers shows. He’s the one I’m most worried about.

Harrison
I agree, it’s good to see Harrison on the field although I believe having Vickers is much more important. Not to take anything away from Harrison but he would have never had gotten the yardage he did if it weren’t for his fullback leading the way. The value of a true fullback can never be under estimated.
harrison being at OTAs is much more important for harrison. Vickers being back is important for vickers, but not as much with not as solidified competition for his spot.

May the best man win the position.

I have no evidence, but I call Hardesty on this one.

I hope we run the ball enough to have both backs carry the ball a substantial amount of times.

Or 1x 2000 yards? And the other one just blocks a whole lot.

I am more worried about Roth.
"Statistics are like bikinis. What they reveal is suggestive, but what they conceal is vital." - Aaron Levenstein
As am I. His behavior — demanding a long-term contract or trade when he has only been on the team for half a season — seems to explain why he was cut by the Dolphins. Something about him seemed too good to be true. And I am usually very sympathetic to players’ demands for long-term contracts in the NFL — but Roth seems way out of line trying to get one here given the history here.

I’m not really worried about Roth. He’s a nice player, but I think Vickers is more important to the team moving forward.

I like to see everyone on the rooster working out its not good to have hold outs. I dont understand how some one can holdout when they not even played a whole season.
Ya must have rocks in ya head to work in Iraq?
Yeah but at least mine are shiny!
I think Vickers is a better player at his position, I think Roth is more valuable/important overall. JMO.

Don’t look now, but reports have TJ Ward as being able to cover opposing players!
"Statistics are like bikinis. What they reveal is suggestive, but what they conceal is vital." - Aaron Levenstein
False. All of the experts on Mocking the Draft and other websites have said that the Browns taking him where they did was a reach. Thus, it is true. And no “reach” ever turns out to be better than the experts on websites. Even BradyQuinnIs3rdString TheRealSlimShady said he was a “reach.”

I don’t think he’s referring to pre-draft reports.

I would take it with a grain of salt though because it’s our receivers he’s covering.

yeah that kiper is such a one trick pony. TJ should be fine barring any major injury.

So that is the standard you judge players by now?

no, but he sure will be better than TDSH said…since i would say he would turn out to be a better player than Kiper.
and even if he meant that no reach ever turns out better than experts think they will turn out, that is also false.

Sorry for not jizzing my pants over every browns selection. But yes, if he had some good OTAs he’s the steal of the draft! SUPER BOWL

We don’t expect you to jizz your pants for every selection. We know you only jizz your pants for overrated Quarterbacks from Notre Dame. By the way, aren’t you a Bronco’s or Panther’s fan yet? They both have Fighting Irish back-up Quarterbacks.

What the hell is this “able to cover” you’re talking about here? From a safety? A Brown’s safety?

Not to thread jack but does anyone else find it suspicious that Jim Brown was canned from being an advisor a week after he said Lebron would leave?

The Browns have needed to do this for years. Kudos to Holmgren for getting it done.
It’ll be interesting to see how this gets spun though. A year ago, Mangini got flambéd for removing a mural of Browns legends. Now Holmgren is removing the actual legends. I somehow doubt that anyone in the media will hold Holmgren’s feet to the fire.
