From the linked page:

* Dead Ball Explanation:
-QBs can throw to receivers with no coverage
-Kickers and Punters can kick, but players cannot field the ball and no snappers or holders can be involved
-Long Snappers can snap into a net
-Defensive players may not catch balls at all regardless of who is throwing them.


Also, I think that we are technically in Phase Two now since Phase One started on April 1 and was only two weeks, so:



There still isn't a need for him to be there.

I agree w/you. I only commented because I think some people, i.e. Tony Grossi, wish to create drama when it comes to OBJ.

The full quote in an article in another thread is even better. He lays into the media and calls them on their crap.

I am really high on him the only thing he does not do well is offensive holding he needs to work on that.

I am going to somehow get to camp this year. I have no idea how ..... but somehow.

Take the turnpike. Hop off at I71 North. Turn left at Berea. Can't miss it.

Man, he is so quick in-and-out of his breaks.

Thanks, but I meant travelling with my back in the shape it's in, especially after wiping out on my stairs last night.

Geez,, that's freaky impressive

Those jab steps are so nasty. So light on his feet and precise with the footwork.

The one handed back hand grab at the end was equally impressive.

He looks almost as good as VICE GRIPS ... *LOL* ...

Man, this is gonna be so much fun ...

OH. MY. LORD.

Quit acting like me. (wiped out on my stairs Saturday and bounced down 13 of them.)

Well ... I didn't want you thinking you were special or anything.

No worries there. I am about as special as a blade of green grass.

I mean WOW!!...Just WOW!!!

I hate to say it, but what can this guy really add to Team activities quite yet? If he's got a conditioning program, which it would appear he has down to a science, I don't know what else to expect. I'd rather see him mentally and physically fresh for Football when it's time to play. If anyone feels he's being given special treatment, show them a few highlight reels and let them decide what is special. Wow.

Keeping him away from the Cleveland "sporting press" is probably every bit as important as anything else this time of year. The Browns may have 99 problems, but OBJ ain't one of them.

Quoted for Truth™

Does anyone know who the defensive back is that was getting his ankles broken?

also, I just have to add - that one-handed snag is SICK.
Just. Plain. SICK.

He didn't put his hand up and catch the ball as it came into his hand.
His hand chased the ball down from above and behind as it went by and snatched it from the air! That is UN-FREAKING-REAL.

Agreed. The ball didn't 'go into" his hand. He just snatched it from behind.

He snatched the ball from the sky, and he's on our team!

GLEE

It was like a bird of prey snatching a sparrow in flight.

Never heard that expression before. Thanks, I will use it.

Here's another expression that perhaps you hadn't heard. Talking with my 96 year old grandma just recently: She suffers from dementia something terrible. And, she's legally blind.

I said something about wishing something, I don't remember, and this 96 year old replied "Well, if wishes were horses, beggars would ride."

Back to the topic now.

To answer your sorta-question, I'd prefer him to be meeting/working with coaches when given the opportunity, and I'd much prefer him catching passes from Browns QBs.

That said, I'm not worried at all. When the time comes, he'll be ready to get to work.

I'm Good with that OBJ

A 1st, Peppers and a 3rd, seems like a steal.

WOW ... what great feet ...

This is gonna be FUN ,...

I thought I posted this, but I guess not.

Odell Beckham Jr.: Baker Mayfield will be a Hall of Famer; OBJ will help turn Browns into the Patriots - cleveland.com
https://www.cleveland.com/browns/2019/05...e-patriots.html

CLEVELAND, Ohio — Odell Beckham Jr., decked out in a tux jacket with the sleeves ripped off and a kilt at the 2019 Met Gala Monday night, talked as bold he looked in an interview with GQ.

While Freddie Kitchens is trying like whoopty-hell to temper expectations for his talent-loaded team, his players are zooming along on the high-speed hype train. Beckham, who’s been working out on his own so far this offseason, saw enough of Baker Mayfield last offseason in L.A. to carve a bust for him in Canton.

“I would say he’s next, but I feel like he’s now,” Beckham told GQ’s Cam Wolf. “He’s Brett Favre — he’s going to be a Hall of Famer.”


“I plan on being there for the next five years and trying to bring as many championships there as possible,” he says, “turning [the Browns] into the new Patriots.”

Beckham re-iterated his bond with Jarvis Landry.

“I would take a bullet for him,” Beckham says, “I hope it'd hit me in the arm, but I'd take a bullet for him.”

Beckham admitted he thought he’d be traded to the Browns last offseason, before he signed his five-year extension in August worth up to $95 million. In fact, Landry told cleveland.com in training camp last year that Beckham would love to play for the Browns.

He also acknowledged what everyone knew about him last year in New York.

“Something in my gut … I just wasn’t very happy,’’ he said. “It just became not the right fit.’’

Despite the fact he’s only spent about a day in Cleveland since the trade, he’s excited about what’s to come, and routinely posts photos of himself on social media in his Browns’ jersey.

“I’m probably the happiest I’ve ever been in my life,” he said.

Now THAT is an enjoyable read

Nice.... Very nice.

I'd have preferred "for the foreseeable future" over the next 5 years, but in Browns' years 5 years can be an eternity I suppose. It is the length of his contract, too. Probably doesn't mean anything.

Wonder if Freddie will chide him about looking too far ahead? After/as he is hugging him, of course.

great read

Refreshing!

I read this without clicking the link....

But when I read this:



I knew who wrote it.

OK, I know that NFL Network sometimes tries to make team look good ..... but saying that the Giants didn't make out as bad as some though, as Peppers is a cover S, and can play some slot corner/ Peppers has some abilities .... but covering slot receivers is not one of them.
