A Rolling Moss Is Often Stoned

“He doesn’t run good routes, he dislikes the middle of the field, he won’t block, and he gives questionable effort on plays that aren’t going to him.”

So he went to Texas, then?

“So he went to Texas, then?”

Bob in Houston wins the internet, exemplified by his ability to block quotes.

Let’s make a rule that we wipe our feet on the doormat when discussing a completely different topic? That will avoid trailing Texas football shit in here.

Yep, it’s the same premise that went through my head when I first saw this. Then I remembered that Moss hates being a decoy and would rather see a QB throw into triple coverage than a RB get 10 yards on a draw. I hope it works, but Moss is a bitch. The only reason he’s not hated as much as TO is because he’s an introverted bitch.

I think they will throw it to him. That VY-beautiful-deep-jump-ball thing he mentioned.

They will throw it to him. But it’s never enough.

Moss needs to try to improve his act but I think he should be a good pickup for the Titans.

Scip, correct me if I’m wrong, but wouldn’t the addition of Moss be a detriment to Chris Johnson’s ability to hit the home run? CJ likes to take advantage of over aggressive safeties that crowd the box and then get bye them and go to the house. With Moss back there the safeties will be forced to stay back and roll coverage towards his side. While his average should improve I suspect his long runs will increase. Johnson is the best home run threat at the running back position since Barry Sanders and Marshall Faulk (Faulk more dangerous at receiving).

Anybody else surprised that Bo Scaife has been able to have such a long and productive career in the NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE?

“inexplicable white hick accent”

Actually, growing up in West Virginia explains a lot.

Sunshine, yeah, you’re right on that, but it doesn’t explain why he sounds whiter than Jerry West. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

I think one angle that people don’t look at as the reason for Moss’ erratic behavior is that the guy could be suffering from a disease that countless Americans have. The guy could be bipolar. I think he is bipolar.

“Problem children require a critical mass of accomplices, dupes, useful idiots, and deputies in order for their malignancy to grow.”

Sounds like the BC tailgate to me.

On the SVP radio show today I think they said that the Titans are 2nd in the league in taking big shots down the field. Okay, so that’s really vague, but the gist is the Titans like to go deep. Moss can be Vince’s NFL Billy Pittman. If Billy Pittman ran like the wind and was 6-4.

He could play for us.

(Apologies if someone already said that, too lazy to read whole thread.)

Dude.

What do we set the odds at as far as The Buc [Jeff Fisher, who looks like the old-school Tampa Bay Bucs logo] using Moss as his excuse to start Greybeard [aka Kerry Collins] over The Alien [aka Vincent Paul Young, Jr, bless his soul]?

A key point is the Fisher has had some success dealing with malcontents in the past. Albert Haynesworth and Adam Jones were productive for the Titans and is Moss any worse than either of these guys in terms of headaches off the field?

I do like the idea of Moss, Britt, and Scaife in the passing game, Johnson running the ball, and Vince at quarterback.

Not surprised the Texans didn’t go after him, but that is the reason they will never be more than they are until they remove the giant stick from their asses. Pair Moss and Andre Johnson at receiver and Foster in the run game and the Texans might have a chance to do something because they aren’t going to stop anyone.

I immediately liked it as a Titans fan because Rnady has to know if he f’s this one up, he may not be able to get any team to sign him next year; let alone a big contract. If nothing else he can help for 3-4 weeks while Britt mends. Things could get interesting when they play the Texans with how poor their DBS are. Roy lit them up, imagine what a streaking Randy Moss can do to a rookie corner with average speed, and little strength to effectively jam.

The division is there for the Titan’s taking. They have the team to beat the Texans/Colts 3/4.

Texans didn’t have the opportunity to claim him.

Houston at 4-3 has a worse record than Titans at 5-3. If I am not mistaken the order to put in a claim was worst record to highest and if that is true the Texans would have had a chance before the Titans.

I’ll take week 16 for when a disgruntled Moss does a Horns Down and all hell breaks lose…

Seconded.

I was really hoping the Rams would take a chance on Moss, but after deciding not to go after TO in the offseason I didn’t have much hope.

Danario just had his fifth surgery on his left knee. I mean, come on! The dude can’t catch a break.

Oh yeah, Randy would have shown up happier than a lark on a Spring morn singing ‘Meet me in St. Louis.’

Phenom, the Lambs need Justin Gage!!!! Seriously though, what do you think of Bradford. I posited that he would be an excellent NFL QB and caught a little slack. So far so good, no?

“If anyone can get through to Moss or inspire a love of football again for its own sake, it’s Vincent Paul Young.”

Why? Why not his barber, or perhaps Moss’ mailman? What connection do VY and Randy have that I’m missing?

bizzle -
 
Alpha males raised by wolves, for starters.

I dont think the Titans are a Super Bowl contender without him.

With him they sure might be. Cheap call option in a year where it doesnt look like there are a lot of dominant teams out there.

I am not a fan of Moss but if he wants to play its a potentially awesome move.

bizzle,

Prior experience handling malcontents and weed users. During the 2005 season VY was able to keep Ramonce productive and a valuable weapon for the Horns. Shortly after VY leaving for the NFL Ramonce reverts to be the Bell County Gangsta’, is caught with lbs. of weed in a packback, and is running a forty for NFL scouts with an ankle bracelet. Coincidence?

To be clear, I think the odds are likely this move doesn’t pan out. But I see very little downside for the Titans and a whole mountain of upside.

I agree on the lack of downside – I just think Moss is what he is at this point. You put him in a locker at the end of the room, send him deep at some key moments, cringe during his postgame news conferences, and hope for the best.

I don’t shine shoes.
 
I don’t tape ankles.
 
I don’t cut checks.
 
That’s in my BC rider.

I agree on the mountain of upside, but I think there’s potentially more downside for Vince than you may.

Fisher hates Vince. He will do anything to undermine him. It is not hard to see this playing out where Fisher sees one pass in the dirt from Vince and puts Collins in the rest of the year.

Full disclosure: I happily meta-acknowledge that I have less than zero objectivity/reason/rationality in matters involving Vince. And I do not apologize for that. Categorically.

Or…Vince, Flav, and Randy absolutely, positively wreck shit FedEx-style.
