Yeah I'd read this theory as well. The rebutal is Haley is the new OC and he loves throwing to backs. Of course, Browns passing game pie could expand by 20% and it's a zero sum game for all parties.motherlode wrote: ↑Fri Jun 29, 2018 11:14 am I was listening to a podcast the other night (I dont remember which one) and one of the guys on there suggested that the bigger threat to Duke was Jarvis Landry. His theory was that last season Duke was basically the Browns slot WR and that this year Landry would soak up a lot of those underneath targets that went to Duke last year.
I don't know how true it is but it sounds plausible to me.
A previous poster does give me pause though re: the recent history of 3DBs and how they flash then sort of fade away.
Either way, I think the owner is feeling the same as you all on this thread, as my initial entry level offer (mid-late 2019 third + rookie wr prospect) is under serious consideration.
Edit:
Some good stats and info here, albeit with no definitive conclusion.

He does draw interesting comparison to Haley's 2011 KC RB trio though.
