Thoughts on trading for him.
Do we NEED him. Well, no. We just drafted a top 10 TE. We signed James to a decent deal.
But what could we do with him? Seems like mismatch heaven with him and TJ.
I really liked him coming out of college.
It would make me ill if the Pats got him. You know its about to happen.
Why would it make you ill if the Pats got him? We don’t play NE this year and their AFC record doesn’t matter. Every game the Pats, or any other AFC team for that matter (not against the Lions, of course), wins is either a neutral or positive for the Lions, until the Super Bowl.
I would be ill if GB, Minny or Dallas got him.
Yes please. Let’s dump MORE resources on the least important position on offense. Taking a TE 8th OA and paying another $5.6 million to do absolutely nothing isn’t enough.
The Pats just always make these sorts of moves. They’ll probably land him for a 4th or something, probably a 3rd.
I would hate it if GB got him.
How the mighty have fallen.
OJ Howard is yet another cautionary tale about what it really takes to be a successful tight end in the NFL. And its not the measurables people tend to salivate about.
He was injured a lot in Tampa and I think there are some questions about his “want to” these days which would not be a culture fit here. A shame, because I thought he was really talented coming out of Alabama.
A good Franchise should completely take TE off the board in round 1. The amount of busts that come from the position is ridiculous. Let the silly franchises take TEs in round 1.
OJ Howard… had 2 TDs today…
and guys like this make me NOT want to sign Hock to a big contract.
I wanted to pick him up. Oh well
Those were also his only 2 catches. He’s never going to live up to the hype he had coming out of Alabama. Even if this year turns into an Eric Ebron type outlier season with massive touchdown numbers.
I think you coupd say the same thing about Hock…
We play the Pats on Oct 9th.
upon further review…

Lol. Nice catch.
Hey, I thought these topics were supposed to be closed down 8 months after the last post?
Yeah, that confused me too. I didn’t even remember caring enough to post about OJ Howard in the first place. I think the 8 month rule only applies to topics that have been created since the rule has first been in place, so this topic was “grandfathered” in.
