I was saying that when Mike Tomlin was our defensive coordiantor and now our decision to let him walk away looks rather dumb now. I really hope we don't do that with Frazier who is a deciple of the Tony Dungy system.

Childress and Bevell have both GOT to go.

Thanks for Tomlin I used to be a pretty big Vikes fan as well in the Randall Cunningham days.....

Shawn Merriman will probably be on the waiver wire today along with Randy Moss.

It is going to be interesting. I'd be willing to bet SF puts in a claim for Merriman.

In fact, I think it makes the most sense of any of the teams mentioned.

For one, the Chiefs are 25th on the waiver list. So the chance that Moss even falls that far is very slim. Sure the Chiefs passing game is weak, however I believe that is an indication of a weak QB. Cassel can manage a game, he will never be able to win a game for you with his arm alone. Didn't Randy Moss's recpetions go way down when Cassel became the starting QB for the Patriots? I fail to see how the two will somehow mesh better on a younger more inexperienced team.

When asked if it was a distinct possibility, Cable said: "Well, I wouldn't (rule it out). I don't think you ever do if you think it can make your team better."

"Randy Moss was great here for us," Davis said Sept. 12, 2009. "We couldn't satisfy Randy. That was our fault. He's a truly great player. The idea when you get a great player is to make him happy and satisfy him."

Meanwhile, in other news about former Raiders, JaMarcus "Purple Drink" Russell is working out with the Redskins. Shannahan is officially a dofus.

The NFL just gets crazier by the day. Shanahan says McNabb was too out of shape to run the 2 minute drill and then they bring in Russell for a look. What kind of message is that? McNabb on his worst day is in better shape than Russell on his best day.

Ah, Randy. You're all class:

As is the team’s custom on Fridays, a local food establishment was invited to the training facility to serve a catered, post-practice meal in the locker room. In this case, a St. Paul restaurant that is a favorite of former Vikings center Matt Birk(notes). As the proprietors helped serve chicken, ribs, pasta and other dishes to Vikings players, Moss paced up and down the serving line and loudly expressed his displeasure with the offerings.

According to one player who witnessed the scene, Moss yelled, “What the [expletive]? Who ordered this crap? I wouldn’t feed this to my dog!”

Said the witness: “It was brutal. The truth is, he deserved to be cut after that. It was such an uncomfortable moment. You know that feeling where you just can tell someone feels so small? That’s what it was like being there.

“This wasn’t a chain – it was a mom-and-pop restaurant, and you could tell it was their best stuff. They had a special carving station set up, and there were players and other support staff lining up to eat it. And [Moss] is at his locker saying, ‘You know, I used to have to eat that crap – but now I’ve got money.’ You just felt so sad for them. I had never seen anyone treated like that.
“And by the way, the food was actually really good.”

Randy Moss is a POS. Pretty simple. If your team picks him up, expect it to end poorly.

[habernac]

Even BB in New England got tired of his schtick. Probably the most talented receiver out there, but he just doesn't care. Gives up on routes all the time, sulks, whines, etc. Who needs it? The Pats were kicking butt when they were a bunch of nobodies with Tom Brady. They listened to their coaches and played hard. I'm glad they're getting back to that.

I unerstand they have a low waiver priority.

Moss' receptions went down, sure, but the idea is that in this scenario completed passes to Chiefs wide receivers would go up. They've got nothing after Bowe and Chambers has just disappeared. I'm no Cassell fan either, but its rather amazing what he's been able to do with 1 WR, a rookie TE (albeit a great one) and a couple of running backs.

I don't blame you for not wanting it.

It's kind of sad that these guys are idolized & paid the type of money that most people can only dream of and yet they are so miserable. He really has no idea how fortunate he is to be blessed with physical ability to play football because if he didn't he'd be busing tables at a restaurant.

On one hand, there is no doubt that the Chiefs need a second wide receiver to complement Dwayne Bowe. They have a budding tight end in Moeaki, a tricky slot receiver with McCluster when he's available, and Bowe can be an impact WR. But the duo of Terrance Copper and Chris Chambers is providing nothing at the other receiving slot. If the offence had that guy, it could really create some mismatches for the other guys.

But the Patriots never won a Superbowl with Randy Moss, and they're unbeaten since he left. When you have 53 guys on a roster plus practice squad, and coaches, it is tough to get everyone on the same page. Randy Moss is a guy who would rather be his own man, and I think a lot of teams who get this concept will avoid him.

[Pagal4321]

Any team that takes on Moss needs to have a strong leadership core in the locker room, otherwise he may just ruin whatever they have there.

What you need is Cowher

Cowher has all the tools there to mold a contendor, excellent running back and a good defence. Cowher would get the right pieces and build his hard nosed football team from there.

[burn_baby_burn]

Honestly, I can't really see a well established team taking a chance on the guy. The team that should go after Moss, would be a team that needs to make a big splash to try and sell some extra tickets. A team that is struggling and probably doesn't have a shot at the post season.

Sounds like a good fit for the Denver Broncos.



(yes, that is a joke,)

[Bobblehead]

I'm sitting here hoping the Niners don't believe Singletary can tame him and decide to take a chance.

[transplant99]

The Rams are being mentioned as being serious about Moss...huge mistake IMO. Let Bradford and that whole young team grow into things. Certainly dont need a headcase like Moss implanting bad attitudes in the younger guys. I understand they are truly viable for the division title at this moement, but trying to win now with Moss could blow up a big part winning without him down the line.

I actually believe Pittsburgh would be a great fit for him, because Big Ben buys more time in the pocket than any other QB which would allow Moss time to get open deep...and Ben has the arm to go deep as well. Tomlin is a guy I think could keep the reins on RM as well and the leadership among the players seems so solid there.

Colts could sure use a healthy receiver as well.

Should be interesting anyhow...wont know until late tomorrow afternoon apparently.

I actually talked to Swayze11 about this, cause they were at one time rumoured to be interested in Owens when he was available a few years back.

Moss needs a pure passer to throw him the ball. But the Colts don't need any more receiving help. Last night Gonzo came back, and they still have Wayne, and Garcon, with Collie close to coming back. Add a healthy Clark, or his replacement Tamme, and there's no need for Moss.

What the Colts need is a healthy secondary, and backfield.

Well, except for the fact that a motivated Moss is one of the most dangerous guys in the NFL.

He automatically makes everyone else around him better because of the match ups.

Colts would be a better team with him IMHO and would likely have the leadership group to handle him.

I don't think the Rooneys touch this guy with a 10 foot pole. I agree that he would add a very interesting dynamic to the Steelers' offense, but I think ownership nixes any thought of RM in Steelers' threads.
