All of the screaming Odell Beckham Jr. fans in the stands at Grand Park were disappointed on Wednesday when the superstar receiver was held out of team drills with a hip injury, but Freddie Kitchens indicated it’s nothing serious. “He’s got a little bit of something going on but we expect him back pretty soon,’’ Kitchens said after the joint practice with the Colts. ESPN’s Dan Graziano reported it’s a hip pointer, but it’s actually a different injury, a team source told cleveland.com. Kitchens left open the possibility that Beckham could face the Colts in the second preseason game on Saturday. |
Trust me, I wasn’t even thinking about him or looking for news about him in the least. I was listening to Sirius during my workout and heard the hip blurb on the sports update. Hadn’t seen anyone mention it so I thought I might have misheard and looked it up.
For me it was a good move trading him. I felt like that the second the trade was announced and I feel like that now.

Yep

Also addition by subtraction. I think Shurmur's offense is at its best spreading it around to everyone. As is Eli's brain seems to function at his best when he does not have to calculate a unhinged emotionally distraught diva receiver as part of the equation.
But, who knows.
I think we should just combine the OBJ posts with the "Beal is Bust" posts
Like you said its preseason. You don't really need an "excuse" to keep stars off the field anymore.
I do agree that its too early to "gloat" about OBJ not staying healthy though.
Bingo. And I’d be saying this if Beckham was still here. If he was a Giant today the number one thing I’d be hoping for would be a full season out of him and a return to “if we’re even, I’m leavin” — we really haven’t seen 2016 Beckham since.... well... 2016.
WATCH as OBJ shatters league records, collects numerous MVP and SB MVP awards in leading the Browns to become the next great NFL franchise.
:)
Naaaaaah.
I’ve said that on numerous occasions both here and in discussing OBJ outside. It remains to be seen if he indeed lose that 1/2 step or he needed more time to heal. Trading him when we did, besides all the side stuff, there was still a high market value. If it does prove out he’s lost that step then Gettlemen traded him at the right time.
Unhappy, losing or mediocre and he will find a way to make it about him and miss some games.
Every day he gets another day older and the aches and pains start to intensify.........not wishing anything bad on him....but football careers are short!

serious proclaimed talent that has not lifted any team to great status beyond his own personal agenda. His runway is getting shorter, and better start producing this year. Otherwise, goodbye prima donna
I dunno. Kind of a Terrell Owens / Randy Moss player, different skillset, but similar disruptive temperament and I wouldn't be surprised to see him bounce around the league in similar fashion.
I was listening to Brian Westbrook talk about TO on the Lefkoe show and when he was mentioning the times when TO would argue with Andy Reid in front of the fans and everyone while signing autographs and how the team always had to answer questions about him when he wasn't there - I immediately thought of Odell when he was here. Westbrook basically said its really hard to win in the NFL with guys like that.
People love to act like "culture" isn't a thing because its not something tangible, so they easily dismiss it. But it is absolutely important and Odell was ruining it. I hope for his sake he doesn't do the same thing to the Browns.

they keep getting hurt. He's already lost the 1/2 step that had him in a class of own from the broken ankle. He's missed 50% of his games the past two years. He's still better than 95% of NFL receivers when he can play but his best days are behind him.

Guys usually lose a little bit the year after a major injury like that, but generally regain it back year 2 post injury. If he did lose that extra burst, it really is going to affect his game, its what makes him an elite WR.
