Braylon Edwards had a nice game for the Jets tonight, but . . . .
He got VERY lucky with that pass interference call. The commentators all agreed that it was a bad call, but Chuckie and the guys in the booth were so far up Braylon’s ass all night that they missed the obvious point – Braylon DROPPED that pass. Sure, it was a tough catch, but he dropped it! Steve Young did notice it and he mentioned it in the post-game show. I wonder if others at ESPN will notice it, or if they want to run with the “Edwards is God” silliness that we heard from Jon Gruden all night long. I’ve never heard a commentator gush so much over one player (and that includes John Madden’s love affair with Brett Favre). Gruden should be embarrassed.
No question — it may not have been an easy catch, but that was a catchable ball that he dropped. But he made several other tough catches that night and looks rejuvenated in NY. In fact, he looked like the receiver who caught 16 TDs a couple of years ago. Go figure.
Thanks for giving your all in Cleveland, Braylon.
