DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Pure Football Forum Report: Bengals interested in Braylon Edwards

Well, he has his own jail stats or legal issues. Good fit at that. How can you fail to love the guy and all he brings to the team? Pass. Just drop it.

He would pull defensive coverage away from AJ green. The Browns don't have much of a two sided threat on the outside on offense to pull coverage away from whichever side that may be on fire that day.


Of the Browns players I've seen play Wr, only Michael Jackson, Kevin Johnson, and Keenan McCardell have been as good vs good/really good/ the best of the best/ coverage.
They either have it or they don't. And if they have it, they may find it again in the clutch. And Braylon had it.
Braylon can go up there in a deep route vs the best,... vs Daryl Revis with Ed Reed coming over the top to help out, and Braylon can come down with the ball, even if all 3 are in position to make a play on it.

There are not " alot" of people who can do that. I think Braylon is one of them. Moss was. That's why I wish the Browns would sign him before the Bengals get a chance to.
ehhh, some are not going to undestand what I'm trying to say anyway.

They can have him.

I've no doubt in my mind that Edwards was the best receiver we've had, he had size, speed and the ability to make some amazing jumping catches.
Problem is, he bombed because he just couldn't keep his mind on football. He wanted more.
The Jets let him go because they realized he blamed his poor performance on where he was, not his lack of effort.
Same in San Fran.
If Edwards wanted to be a great receiver, if he had the drive, he'd be a great one, maybe right up there with Moss.
He's already got his money and has his face out there so he doesn't care about football as much as living it up and trying to weasel his way into being an underwear model.
And until he hits rock bottom and comes to realize no one wants him anymore, or he's only worth league minimum, then he might snap and finally realize his potential.
But he was a head case, is a head case, and probably will keep being a head case until it's too late and the next big thing comes along.

Pass.
