In his brief time with the Browns, I’ve decided that I like the play of Mike Furrey. (Pronounced Furry, as in Murray — Roswell, Holla).
He’s made some really nice catches, particularly on third down. He’s a hard nosed player, someone C-Town can really learn to love. I predict he will be a fan favorite by the time the year is up.
I liked him before today, but after reading today’s paper (yes, I still read the paper, please don’t hold it against me), I’m a certified fan of the guy.
Why is that? Because Mr. Furrey (I’ll bet he’s tough just cause you’d have to be with a name like that) is now the leading contender to play safety in the Browns depleted secondary - ala Troy Brown of the Patriots several years ago.
He must be pretty good, cause he started 11 games at safety for the St. Louis Rams in 2005. That’s pretty impressive, I’d say.
However, what solidified my admiration for MF (ha - man, the guy’s had a rough life) was the quote attributed to him discussing his play at safety for the Rams.
“I had four picks and one returned for a touchdown,” he said. “I still don’t know how that happened. Some day I’ll reflect on it.”
That, my friends, is an awesome quote — the fact that an NFL player plans to “reflect” on anything, is amazing. Reflecting on how he had four picks and a TD while subbing as a safety is awesome!
So, that’s why I say - Furrey is wonderful. I’m sure you’ll agree
Holla for that Furrey guy — (not something you’d want to hear or say on the beach, but in this case, it’s appropriate)
