Terrell Owens said Odell beckham skeptics are ready for a rude awakening … TMZ Sports the superstar wide receiver is destined for a huge year … as long as his quarterback doesn’t stink the spot.
Of course, the story is that OBJ had a pretty disappointing season in 2019 – battling a sports hernia injury as the Cleveland Browns posted a disappointing 6-10 record.
FYI – Odell still managed to rack up over 1,000 yards and caught 4 touchdowns a year ago.
TO says the media mistakenly pushed a scenario that Odell was declining … and thinks it was “unfair”.
“Obviously, Odell is a great talent,” TO tells us. “It is very misleading for someone to say that they have had a difficult year.”
“He had some great takes, there were a few flashes of it. But again, playing with an injured hip … I can’t imagine what it feels like, trying to play through it but it doesn’t is not entirely his fault. “
Owens puts some of the blame on Baker mayfield … saying that OBJ would have made more plays if # 6 hit their targets.
“You break down the strip of the game, like yeah, the guy was open and the ball was thrown high, thrown behind him, thrown low,” Owens says. “This guy’s capture rating is on par with Julio Jones.”
“The heir season will continue [Odell] and [Jarvis] Landry. So hopefully they’re working on these things and they’re healthy, Baker is better than he was last year. “
“This attack and this team is going nowhere if Baker isn’t the leader there.”
TO believes the Browns can make a difference if every aspect of the offense clicks … and offers Odell some solid advice.
