Welcome back, Antonio
 

Antonio Brown is back in burgundy. I like his speed and big play potenial on teams, but I'm not sure about him as a viable receiving threat.

Re: Welcome back, Antonio
 

I don't really like Antonio Brown, it pissed me off when he made the team ahead of Farris, just to cut after week 1. He couldn't catch a cold and he even stopped returning kicks well. Hell, he stopped fielding kicks and started fumbling the ball. I was happy when he was cut, we shouldn't have brought him back.

Maybe he is back just to return kicks? Then when Ladell is healthy, he will get cut again?! I can't see him lineing up to catch passes from Brunell. They will continue to work Jacobs out there and probably put Jimmy Farris on the field as a 3rd WR until Thrash gets healthy. Just put stick-um on Antonio's hands before he takes the field..... Heck, put stick-um on everyones hands before they take the field!!!

Hold onto the ball! Thats all I ask.

What about Kevin Dyson?

I thought Brown got a bad deal, we've had so many fumbles this season and nothing happens to any one but Brown, The one that stands out in my head is the Rock C. fumble in K.C., All this team does is beat them selves with turnovers. But Brown is the only one who got cut. I think he is a threat to break one on punts and kickoffs....... I think he would have set up are offense in some of the games we lost. But I'm glad he is back......... I hope he makes the most of it. hopefully if he does make a mistake Gibbs will stay with him like he has with, ever other person on this team.

I kind of agree that Brown got shafted. It seems like he was our scapegoat, but lets hope this lights a fire under his ass & he does really well this time around.

Re: Welcome back, Antonio
 

I thought Antonio Brown showed potential with the routes he ran in the last preseason game against the Ravens. He ran a great double move (about a 45 yard route) and blew by the corners, but when Brunell threw a pass that would have hit him in stride, he wasn't able to hold on to the ball. He then went on to drop more balls in that game, and the fumble in the Bears game ultimately resulted in him being cut.

If he returns kickoffs, I hope he can learn from Ladell Betts, who returns kickoffs north and south, and isn't afraid to take a hit. Brown had a tendency in the preseason to go east and west, and it didn't get him far.

As a receiver, I would mostly use him as a decoy, and place him in the slot on the same side as Santana. Thats a lot of speed on one side, and im sure brown would clear up a lot of room for Moss by taking along safeties if he just sprinted go-routes up the field. Once in a while we can throw to him, if the safeties decide to stay with Moss.

Antonio Brown does nothing to get me pumped. His receiving skills are mediocre, and he's a fumbler (at least when he returns punts). Our turnover ratio already is bad enough.

Re: Welcome back, Antonio
 

HAIL YEAH, I have been saying i wanted him back for the past two weeks, he will do great as a return man. As much as i like parsons, because he is from the "U" (of maryland), i like antonio more.

NOw sit back and watch this return [url="http://extremeskins.com/CrazyZeb/Week17vsMIN01_KOreturns.mpg"]http://extremeskins.com/CrazyZeb/Week17vsMIN01_KOreturns.mpg[/url]

i know he won't fumble again, he can't he got fired for it. He won't do it again, he might lose some of his riskiness but that might be a good thing.

Brown was the best WR at the baltimore scrimmage and at the training camps, he had one horrible Preseason game, 1, and 1 dropped kick return

Re: Welcome back, Antonio
 

brown didnt get shafted..he just perhaps isnt hte only one that should have been cut or benched for fumbling. The guy also dropped a ton of passes, thats the main reason he got cut.

Re: Welcome back, Antonio
 

He did drop alot of passes, but he displayed amazing speed in getting ridiculously open on the passes that he dropped. Im not saying that's okay, but what you might have here is a guy who was just so nervous about making the team he wasn't putting his best effort and who if, given another chance, will blossom into a viable deep threat. But then again you might also have a guy who just can't take big league heat. Either way, I'm glad we're giving him one more shot.

Re: Welcome back, Antonio
 

I'm glad he's back. It might not of seemed like he was shafted at the time but now that we've seen everyone fumble a lot it seems a little harsh.

Re: Welcome back, Antonio
 

Maybe he does deserve another shot because if he was let go because of the fumbled and dropped passes then he was truly the scape-goat. I seriously doubt Brunell or Portis will be let go, biggest fumblers on the team.
