T.O. in Cleveland?...

Browns coach Eric Mangini indicated earlier in the week that the team would consider adding a veteran receiver if the fit is right.

Terrell Owens is easily the best receiver available, and the Browns are perhaps in worse shape at the position than any team in the league. Josh Cribbs, one of the team's captains, is pushing for T.O. to land in Cleveland. Brian Robiskie and Chansi Stuckey showed nothing last season that should have the team concerned about blocking their path to a starting job.

lol Can you imagine him with Delhomme? It would get very ugly very quick.

In fairness, Jake has the right personality to handle a guy like Owens, and he would throw to him a lot.

That said, it's not a choice I'd make.

Even if you were Cleveland? Cleveland? I believe that Mohamed Massaquoi will turn out to be pretty effective in the long run, but in the short term the Browns' passing game may easily turn out to be the worst in the league without a veteran on the wings.

T.O. to the Browns is disaster. It's not only a sign of how low T.O. has fallen, but a total powder keg. T.O. isn't in the situation to make trouble, if he does he knows he risks being cut and might not find a new home, but we all saw how bad Delhomme could be in the last two seasons with a much better offense. It would end both of their careers.

Then again, with no receiving targets in Cleveland and Delhomme's tendency to lock on, maybe it's a match made in heaven.

I seem to be in the minority again (imagine that) but I don't think that TO would be a bad move at all. Frankly he was on his best behavior in Buffalo and really hasn't been that big of a distraction since he left the circus in Dallas. With Jake as the quarterback and Holmgren in charge, it could actually work out very well. In order to fill some seats and get them back on track in a tough division, I would definitely try and get him if I could work out the money. He definitely is still productive.

You know, it makes all the sense in the world for them to bring in Moose.

Obviously he and Delhomme have great chemistry, but Moose is the kind of guy that can play well as a third receiver and really teach the young guys some things. Like Delhomme, he would be worth bringing in just to have another leader in a lockerroom in desperate need of one.

It's the Browns. I don't think TO could make it any worse. Matter of fact he would be an improvement on the receiving core. Jake would definitely feed him the ball whether he is double teamed or not. If Jake has a little bit left in the tank it could actually work out for them.

I think you misread but yes, they would benefit from bringing in Moose

    • Yeah. As a wild card team. Washington won the division at 10-6.
    • no doubt but flip that.   The current system insures that there are "regional" games in the early weeks. maximizing the reach of playoff football.  If all of the WC weekend for a conference took place on the west coast they are reducing the "reach" of their hype machine.
    • Hard to say with London--he never ran--combine or pro day.  Here is what AI says, and it is always 100% accurate: Drake London's 40-yard dash time at the NFL Combine was not recorded because he was dealing with a fractured ankle at the time. While he didn't participate in the 40 at the Combine or his pro day, his coach said his 40 time was estimated to be between 4.4 and 4.53 seconds. Some sources also list his 40 time at 4.58 and 4.6 seconds Unless you are running 9s all day, top end 40 speed is rarely reached.  I have always looked at the 3-cone drill.  At his pro day, TMac ran a 6.86--pretty good, actually.  For context, it is faster that Rome Odunze (6.88) who ran a 4.45 40.  Odunze is 6'3" and weighs 216, fwiw, and is considered a very good route runner with no wasted motion.  Mike Evans 3-cone was 7.08.  To put it in a broader context, through 2022, with all NFL prospect 3-cone drills combined, a 6.86 puts TMac in the.89th percentile-  Now consider the fact that he is 6'4" and 220.   We might have something here.  '
