Josh Cooper might have been added to the Browns roster
October 11, 2012What should the Browns do with receiver injury situation?
October 11, 2012During media sessions today Brandon Weeden was asked about the lack of targets for Greg Little this past weekend against the Giants and was overall very supportive and dismissive of the notion.
He had one game where he was target twice. It was a coincidence. I talked to him about it. He’s a guy who’s capable of making a bunch of plays. I’d be crazy not to throw to him.
Maybe Weeden is just being supportive of Little, or maybe it is just coincidence. More likely it had to do with Greg Little being thrust into the primary receiver role and most likely ending up with much more difficult matchups with Mohamed Massaquoi and Travis Benjamin both missing time in the last game. Jordan Norwood caught nine balls on nine targets and was on crutches today.
So, chances are good that Little will get more than two targets this week against Cincinnati by default if not by the coincidence pendulum swinging back the other way.

Okay, I just don’t get the implication that there might be something other than coincidence in this. Does anyone really think that a football team would choose to start a guy at WR, but have a specific plan to NOT throw him the ball. Crazy talk.
Yeah, sure…and McDonalds serving salad and bottled water was a coincidence after Super Size Me was released…
McD’s has served salads since the 80s and bottled water since the 90s. So, ummm….
That’s my weekly gameplan. Did you not watch the Eagles game?
Yeah, most teams call these guys their #1 WR and book on him drawing double coverage to free up the other receivers…
