Can you settle for video of him doing sit-ups in his driveway? 

 

Bahaha that got me...kudos hahaha

Didn't Jim Brown try to do this with the raiders at age 50?  I vaguely remember this from a sports illustrated in the 80s.  God I'm old

Give him a workout, put him on the PS if he does well.  Don't see the harm.  More so to just satisfy my curiosity...hahaha

Hell, if Brady can do it why not TO?? He has the experience to help a team. Can he still stretch the field? Why can't he be in John Brown's chair? Plus he's a bigger target!! For the playoff run, give him a shot

I think they want to be more focused on the young guys trying to break into the league than the old guys that have fallen out of it.

They are going to have plenty of that regardless but if they don’t find a reason for people to watch they will go away again. One way or another you need to get people interested in watching. The 13th guy out on a practice squad trying to fight for a walk on ST role down the road isn’t going to get you there. Names of guys that fell off that the common fan knows, might. TO, Kapernick, Manzel etc

Because Brady is a QB. He just has to stand there and throw a football. He doesn't have to get hit. He doesn't have to run.

Brady hasn't been very good this year and will NOT take a hit. Any pressure he chucks the ball forward. 

 

Saints RB stays in bounds OR they don't play prevent defense and he loses to a 4-8 team at home while scoring (maybe) 1 garbage time TD. 

 

The fact that he is top 5 in passing yards is due 100% to the fact that Tampa cannot and will not run the ball. They have one of the worst offenses in the league in every category. They don't score points. Almost every one of their yards that they do have is passing. 

 

They are 6-6, and most of that is due to playing in the worst division in football by a mile.

Physically he is a freak, so I think that is something he could potentially handle.  The bigger question is the hand eye reaction time and coordination, especially with how fast Josh Allen throws.  For example, professional gamers are all young because as you get older they begin to struggle to see the higher frame rates.  

 

Give him a work out with Josh and see what he can do

Only if he comes w/ Fitz. Need more 98 yard TDs. Josh and Gabe only have what… 1 this year? That won’t cut it.

I'd kick the tires on TO - what's the downside?

The down side is the man hours the staff could be putting to more constructive use…,

I'm fascinated - so bringing in TO for a workout costs us more time and energy than any of our other practice squad players, or even a guy like Tanner Gentry who hasn't even sniffed a target yet?

 

And we should just outright dismiss a guy that can still run a 4.4 who's still in top shape and had a 10K yards HOF career?

Yup, exactly. 

[Paul C]

Sign him for $1 and let him be the seat warmer

At 49 it would take him 3 weeks to recover from one game.

6 mill. One year. That's what we paid.

If there's one dude that can still play at almost 50, it's TO. That dude is still in tremendous shape

 

Being in shape is one thing.  He may think he's up to the task, but I assure you that 49 year old body is not.
