Randy Moss The Mossiah---You just call me Mossiah is a pretty good one for Randy Moss given the way he elevated the offenses of his teams. Randy Moss the Mossiah, was claimed off waivers by the Tennessee Titans, Nashville was singing. In the moments before the Titans officially claimed Moss off waivers Wednesday, it was dreary in the city, raindrops were falling, clouds raced across the open expanse of the gray sky, it seemed like winter was near.
But Thursday. the sun was out, there were no clouds, and one of the two best wide receivers to ever play the game -- Jerry Rice is still the best -- will be suiting up for the Titans come next Sunday in Miami.
Thirteen years after the Tennessee Titans passed on Randy Moss in the 1998 draft, making wide receiver Kevin Dyson the top wideout taken that year with the 16th overall pick, Moss is finally in Nashville. Over the last decade and change, the Titans' decision to pass on Moss has been a lingering point of discussion in the city.
Would Moss, in a Titans uniform, have altered the often-staid offensive philosophy of head coach Jeff Fisher? As Moss racked up 948 catches, 14,778 yards, 153 touchdowns and counting, Titans fans couldn't help but watch the highlights and sigh. He could have been the Titans, if only they'd taken the risk to draft him.
