Re: Around the NFL...Training Camp Style
 

Not sure why all the personal attacks on DT. Like a lot of wr's that get drafted high, he didn't pan out. I didn't see any Brandon Lloyd in him.

If you even sniff a training camp invite; you are a elite football player. I am sure he has plenty to pass on.

Here is a thought maybe he can coach up a kid to the point that he gets a college scholarship. Just because you don't make it on the NFL doesn't mean you are a bad football player.

Because a lot of guys on here act like teenage girls and when a player doesn't pan out they way they envisioned them to they treat them like the boy that didn't ask them to the prom.

In simpler terms their panties get all bunched up.

Re: Around the NFL...Training Camp Style
 

Yeah I've certainly been a DT hater in the past, and I assumed when he retired it was probably so he can sit around the house and eat grapes lavishly all day, but if he's turned a new a leaf and is retiring to help kids achieve their goals there's certainly nothing to hate on about that.

All I can say is he played well for the Giants when given the chance on special teams.

Honest question: Did he ever take any to the house? I remember he had some decent hits, but I can't recall if he ever returned one for a touchdown for you guys.

You guys got him cheap on his way out, so that's probably reasonable for a ST only player. We spent a 2nd round pick on him, not quite the way you want that guy to be remembered.

TO is still probably better than any of the current Seattle WR's. How's Sideny Rice working out for them?

Every training camp has fights. We had a few the other day. No big deal.

If Randy Moss is able to reenter the NFL after a year hiatus, then T.O should be able to do the same. Terrell Owens has stepped up to play wherever he's played. But time is starting to catch up with him.

Lol I totally read that title wrong when I saw the headline on ESPN. I took the word "deal" to mean tolerate or work with Blackmon after his off field troubles.

Also speaking of troubled athletes just read a great article written by an NFL agent.

Moss was actually traded by the Pats, because the Vikes were stupid enough to give up a third round pick for him.

As far as it goes now, never underestimate a man who has hit rock bottom after being on cloud nine. Nothing will motivate Randy Moss more than everybody who says he has nothing left in the tank. Sure we're not going to see the '98 Randy Moss, but I have no doubt he'll try harder than the last chance he got.

It's kinda sad to see what happens to not only players, but coaches too. And our own Joe Gibbs was a prime example that it can happen to anyone. If the players want their money to last a lifetime here's what I'd tell them.

1. Don't get married
2. Live off of 15% of your salary and put the rest in a safe mutual fund.
3. Don't have baby mamas.
4. Don't get married.

[B]Terrel Thomas to return to Camp Without Surgery.[/B]

“The suggestion on the part of the group of doctors that have looked at Terrell Thomas is that we try to rehab him and see how he does and if he can get back on the field to do so,” said Head Coach Tom Coughlin. “He’s coming back to camp. He’ll jump into a rehab program. We’ll watch him very, very closely. We’ll hopefully accelerate his… the strengthening of the knee and see how soon he can join us and we’ll hope for the very best


.....good news for him and NY.

Re: Around the NFL...Training Camp Style
 

^ No it's not. We've learned from LaRon Landry that when a player needs surgery and tries the rehab route, he never gets better.

His knees are garbage, he needs to take some time off and get them fixed.

Good news for the Redskins.

If what I heard about the contract is accurate, there is no down side to signing Owens in Seattle.

One year contract, based on ten year vet minimum. Owens knows his role going in. He understands is is the #3 WR. He knows he won't be getting many touches a game.

And if he tanks or opens his trap, Carroll can release him with minimal cap hit.
