Greg Little hype train (1 Viewer)

Browns Notebook: Dropped passes becoming a regular issue for WR Greg Little

By Marty Gitlin | CBSSports.com

Excerpt:

The Browns have enough trouble putting productive wide receivers on the field without arguably the most talented one dropping passes in the end zone.

But that's what Greg Little did in the fourth quarter of the 23-16 loss Thursday night in Baltimore. He muffed a pass from quarterback Brandon Weeden that would have tied the game. He was forced to leap for the ball in coverage, but it bounced off his hands.

It was nothing new. Little has been dropping passes since he arrived as a second-round draft pick last season. But he has also shown flashes of talent that the Browns need desperately at that position. He was their leading receiver in 2011.

Coach Pat Shurmur has repeated that he will not accept drops, but he strongly indicated that he's not ready to give up on Little or other receivers who have struggled to catch the ball consistently.

"I have zero tolerance for [drops]," he said. "But we have to keep working with them. I've seen it before where young players work through this."

Little did manage to snag four passes for 77 yards against the Ravens, including a tough 43-yarder in the second quarter that keyed the team's lone touchdown drive. The second-year wideout spoke optimistically about his future, but admitted that he will never be considered elite unless he grabs passes such as the one he dropped in the end zone Thursday night.

"To be a great receiver, you have to make great plays and that would have been a great play," he said. "It would have been a great play that people remember and tell their kids about."

Fbgs rankings thus far have little waaaay low IMHO. Around wr40?? Hes clearly the focus of the offense, and CLE will be down most of the game. That and nyg have been giving up yards/scores in bunches. I'm prolly playing him this week over Bess and hankerson Fwiw.

 
Greg Little, WR, CLE

News:  Browns wide receiver Greg Little has two things working in his favor heading into a Week 5 showdown at N.Y. Giants. It's against an NFC opponent and on the road. Little is averaging 54.8 yards against NFC opponents and 55.8 yards per game on the road in his career, as opposed to 30.2 yards at home and 39.1 yards against AFC opponents. The Giants are yielding 186.5 receiving yards per game and have surrendered six touchdowns to wide receivers in four games. Six receivers have also eclipsed at least 70 yards against New York.

Analysis:  Browns coach Pat Shurmur threatened to bench Little prior to Week 4 if he continued to drop passes. Little had another key drop against the Ravens, but the Browns' receiving situation is such a dire case that Cleveland can't afford to bench Little. They just have to keep working with him. Little is not a reliable Fantasy option heading into Week 5, even with the favorable matchup. He is at best a bye-week replacement in deeper formats.

 
"To be a great receiver, you have to make great plays and that would have been a great play," he said. "It would have been a great play that people remember and tell their kids about."

Boy, back in my day once I saw Greg Little catch a touchdown pass in a fairly meaningless Thursday night game in the 2012 season. Boy, what a night that was...

WTF is this kid thinking?

I think he's a bit dilusional. Anyone happen to notice after almost every catch he makes he celebrates like it was a super bowl winning reception?

In my Dynasty league I drafted this bum last year and I've been sitting on him since day one. I've been waiting for him to turn into something worthwhile. He hasn't yet and from the smell of Cleveland he wont for sometime if ever.

After week 7 byes pass and I have my starting crew back, he's hitting the WW as fast as I can press the button. I'd rather replace him with a kicker at this point.

if you had microphones constantly jammed in your face by semi-hostile reporters, you might have some regrettable phrasing too.i don't think little handcrafted that sentence with his message people. i think he's saying he's sorry he screwed up.

 
Weeden: lack of Greg Little targets “coincidence”

October 11, 2012 By Craig Lyndall

During 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.

Greg Cosell Part II:The Pats TE Duo and Rookies

Excerpt from Matt Waldman's RSP interview series with Greg Cosell (Posted on August 29, 2011):

Cosell: You know who I really like from what I’ve seen even though it’s way too early and he’s a rookie and you never really know when the real bullets start flying and how he’ll fit into the team’s game plan? I really like that Greg Little kid. And I personally believe that the reason Cleveland made the trade with all of those picks for him when Julio Jones was sitting there is because I don’t think they see a huge difference between Julio Jones and Greg Little.

Waldman: I think Julio Jones will make a nice starter in this league, but I’m not as enthused over Jones as others. I always thought Jones had issues catching the ball when he knew that contact was coming.

Cosell: That’s a good point and I think it’s valid. I like him on film. I liked AJ Green more, but I agree with that. And by the way, I don’t think there is a huge difference between Julio Jones and Greg Little. My guess is that Mike Holmgren saw a little Sterling Sharpe in Greg Little in terms of body type and movement.

As bad as Little has looked, I went back to read what most scouts said about him. As an example...The above (thank you Faust) obviously coming from Cosell and Matt. Both watch a lot of film and although Cosell appears to be more positive than most, the great majority are very positive about Little. Many called out Little's strong hands in traffic and ability to make the circus catch. Many also noted he would occasionally drop the easy pass.....but nobody ever said he had "bad hands"..."cant catch"...In fact there are more positives about his hands than anything.Several in here have said you dont suddenly develop good hands.....and although I somewhat agree, I do think you can improve some, with hard work...but that is besides the point. Using the logic that you cant suddenly develop good hands from previously having bad hands, I think you also cant really develop bad hands if you previously had good hands.

Something happened that caused you to go into a slump.

I think Little's issue is mental. Too many scouts watched him play and he didnt have a problem like we have seen or some would have called it out. I dont think he will ever have great hands (many greats havent had great hands), but he can get back to adequate. With adequate hands added to the physical skills and you have a nice FF WR.

I dont know that he will...none of us do...but I also dont think anyone can say he wont. Therefore he still has value as a young 2nd yr receiver with upside.

In a lot of leagues he is valued below that which in my mind makes him a buy low. I would be shocked if someone would give a late first or even an early 2nd for him....but for a mid to late 2nd, he is value compared to what you would draft at that point in a rookie draft....and I suspect some would even dump him for less.

 
I'm growing impatient waiting for Little to stop sucking. He's on my dynasty bench and will probably stay there all year. I don't like to cut bait with young players before their 3rd year in the league as it has bitten me before, but Little has gotten all the opportunity in the world and he can't seem to hold onto the ball.

Greg Little returns to practice Friday, but fantasy value still low

By Jon Benne on Oct 19, 1:03p

Cleveland Browns WR Greg Little (illness) was back in practice on Friday, reports Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram. Little was excused from practice on Thursday with the flu, but he appears to be over it now and will play Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts.

Little has just 14 catches for 169 yards and one TD on the season as he's struggling with drops again.

Fantasy Impact: Hopefully your team wasn't counting on Little. According to Pro Football Focus, he has six drops on just 31 targets, for a staggering 30% drop rate. The second-year receiver is just playing awful, and his role will likely decrease once Mohamed Massaquoi and Travis Benjamin come back from injuries.

With Josh Gordon coming on strong, Little doesn't even have the small consolation of being Cleveland's best WR anymore. He belongs on the waiver wire in all but the deepest fantasy leagues.

I think the question here is if Little is rosterable? At this point I don't think he is. Although Little has had the highest number of targets for Cleveland thus far this season, he has only caught 43.8% of his 32 targets. The Browns just cannot afford to punt this often and therefore the targets will likely decline. Last week the Browns ran the ball more and didn't ask Weeden to do quite as much, it translated to their 1st win. I would expect them to try to do more of that and stop wasting so many opportunities throwing it to Little.Little is only 23 years old. His catching ability can certainly be improved if he works hard at it. Jake Reed had this problem and it took him 4-5 years to finally get it together. Maybe Little will fix this as he matures. In the mean time I think Little is pretty safe on the waiver wire unless you can actually get someone to give up something for him in trade I might look for better bait off the wire than Little offers right now and re-evaluate him for consideration next season.

I drafted this bum last year and just last week i finally dumped his sorry butt for Brandon Gibson.Maybe next year Little figures out how to catch a ball....

 
Showing signs of life = 2 targets, 2 catches and a TD.

At least he hasn't dropped anything yet.

Greg Little taking low-key steps toward being more reliable: Cleveland Browns Insider

By Tom Reed, The Plain Dealer The Plain Dealer

on October 22, 2012 at 9:44 PM, updated October 22, 2012 at 11:07 PM

Excerpt:

BEREA, Ohio -- There was nothing notable about Greg Little's second-quarter touchdown celebration on Sunday.

For those detractors wanting to see more humility and production from the second-year Browns receiver, his decision to simply hand the ball to a fan and trot to the sideline after making a leaping, juggling TD catch might itself be cause for celebration.

Little recorded a career-high six grabs for 52 yards in the Browns' 17-13 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. Little has been keeping a low profile in recent weeks. While he hadn't caught many Brandon Weeden passes -- a combined three in the previous two games -- he also hadn't caught any flak from coach Pat Shurmur for dropped passes or on-field poses.

Shurmur said recently he had asked Little to work on several facets of his game and to lose the celebrations that followed several routine catches. He drew the ire of fans for imitating Olympic gold medalist Usain Bolt's famous pose: one finger pointed to the sky, the other arm poised to shoot an imaginary arrow.

"You all will be the judge of all that after-snap stuff," Shurmur said. "I've asked him not to do that. I just think it's important that you let your play show between the whistles. I've always felt that, and I'm glad that he had success yesterday. I don't know if one points to the other."

Little is tied for the NFL lead in dropped balls with six, according to ProFootballFocus.com, but only has one in the last three games. He was reliable and businesslike Sunday against the Colts while fighting through flu-like symptoms which had him running a fever as late as Saturday night.

"He went out and competed well," Shurmur said. "That's part of the process of being a pro, too, playing with injury or illness or whatever. He battled through it and had success, so maybe he'll learn from that."

The engaging receiver wasn't in the Browns locker room on Monday to speak to the media. He's also kept quiet on Twitter. Little, a fan of social media, has not posted a tweet from his @Str8UpGlittle account since Sept. 22. Following a Sept. 16 loss in Cincinnati, his Twitter feed was flooded with negative messages from fans mad that Little not only danced to celebrate a touchdown while the Browns trailed in the fourth quarter, but that he still celebrated his score on the account after the Browns had lost.

"He's played a lot of football, but if you're a first, second-year guy, there's still a lot to learn," Shurmur said. "I'm watching Greg take his work seriously. I'm watching him listen to what we're inspiring him to do, and I'm glad he had success."
Click to expand...
 
Since pressure has been relieved of him on offense he has played better, not just catching the ball but in general.

That doesn't say much re fantasy, good for the Browns though, settling into a role is good for them but makes him desperation fodder in fantasy.

 
(Rotoworld)Greg Little has worked his way back into head coach Pat Shurmur's good graces.Analysis: "Greg kind of refocused on some things, and I'm glad he's having some success," Shurmur said. "He doesn't always catch the most balls, but he's a tough sucker. He's blocking and you feel his presence out there." The second-year wideout dropped six passes in the first five games, but hasn't dropped a single one of his 21 targets over the past four games, according to Pro Football Focus. Cleveland is on a bye. Little doesn't offer much more than depth in fantasy.

Great, now let's see him translate that into actual production. He's caught 13 of 19 targets the past 3 weeks, but he's still putting up WR3 numbers.

He has drops over that time that PFF missed, but he has been significantly better since being moved to a limited role. He's a good complimentary option, which is not good for fantasy, obviously.
 
(KFFL) After meeting with former NBA star Alonzo Mourning during the team's bye week, Cleveland Browns WR Greg Little learned a lot about personal sacrifice and the value of commitment to the team's goal of winning. Little has vowed to ditch Twitter, and he hasn't tweeted since Sept. 22. He has 13 catches for 132 yards and a touchdown in the last three weeks.

Not sure why that's funny per say... I think it's very possible that he gets it in yr 3... I realize that most wrs that make a big impact in the NFL do so in their first yr or so but that isnt always the case... How long did it take Roddy White to be relevant?
 
Little does have one thing going for him, again, opportunity. Unless the Browns make WR a priority in free agency, given Banner's history I highly doubt that, without a 2nd round pick I can't see picking another WR inside the top 50-60 unless they orchestrate a big trade down in round 1.

I was 50/50 on him coming into the season, closer to 10/90 now though, he was much more productive once his role was reduced midseason - sign of things to come.

 
He seems to have gotten his head on straight lately as well, which could bode well for him. He may be more fitted as a #2, but that's fine as long as he gets enough targets to produce.

Really depends on the new regime, but in the immediate future it looks like the #2 for the Browns would be closer to the 60/700 type, at best, and Little isn't a red zone or big play threat.I wouldn't be upset if he were my 5th WR on a dyno squad, but I wouldn't want him as any more than that. Doubt I'll draft him in any redraft next year.

I agree; their depth at wr isn't horrible considering the guys under contract- Gordon; Little, T. BENJ, Cooper & Norwood (RFA) They would likely focus on other areas

Good call on Young and Baldwin but Little was hardly a star this year.
 
In many leagues Little can be had for very cheap. His final 11 games last year were very good (only 3 drops and 42 catches on 65 targets)...and he is still only 23. Take the improvement he made/showed in the last 11 games last year, and add the new vertical offense the new coaching staff is adding and things start looking even better. Cleveland still needs to fix the QB position, but if you wait until they do, you wont get him as cheap. If you wait for the training camp hype he will cost even more and half way through the season you will no longer be able to get him for less than low end wr2 prices.The guy had limited experience at wr and struggled in his first 21 professional games. This is not a shocker. He is a great athlete with much better hands than many give him credit for. He is now entering his 3rd year where we often see big improvement from wrs. I think QB is the only question mark, but I suspect Cleveland will address that this offseason.Dont sleep on this bargin basement buy!I'm sure many of you will :blackdot: ....Mark this down....I will be sure to bring this back to the attention of the pool in about 7 months :boxing:

:thumbup: I like the confidence, I'm trying to get him at a reasonable price in all my leagues... we will see... I do know one thing... it can't end up than Robert Meachem in San Diego LOL
 
(Rotoworld)The new Browns coaching staff has been "very impressed" by Greg Little's improvement on tape as the 2012 season progressed.Analysis: He reportedly "seems to be a significant part" of the new regime's plan. Little had six drops and only 11 receptions in the first five games, before catching 42 balls with just three drops over the final 11. We've yet to see many glimpses of Little's supposedly explosive run-after-catch ability, but he's definitely getting better and will be just 24 in May. He's on the back-end WR3 radar for 2013.

I don't hate on Little but I also don't think he's in Roddy White territory.And White didn't have a more talented and just as young WR on the same roster who seems a better and more natural fit for the vertical game.I'd be very careful with my expectations for Little going forward. I think if you realize he could end up as the 3rd option on that team (with the possible emergence of Cameron Jordan), you won't get hurt. But if you ignore those concerns, you could over pay.
