there are at least 4 catches i can remember that guy making that made me jump outta my seat
 
That catch he made against the Raiders in the 2001 playoff game might have even been more impressive. OG had amazing hands.
 
Man, I wish I was more aware on the NFL when this guy was playing.

No you don't.

As a fins fan having OG as our top offensive threat was downright embarrassing. Years of unfathomably poor offensive drafting left us with a broken down OJ McDuffie, a reused Tony Martin and a blur of running backs that could have all worn the same jersey and you would have never known.

Gadsden was a nice find but it is a shame that we never saw what he could do in a proper offense where he would be featured more in a possession/secondary receiver role.

I still do remember some epic catches from him.

:lol: Well, true. Never even seen the guys play you're talking about. My earliest memories go back to when I younger and seeing Ricky tear it up player after play. But I only started being very aware of what was actually happening the year Ronnie was drafted.

I stand by my thought that Pat Turner can be our faster Oronde. He should be getting some favorable matchups this year, and God help a small DB covering him. He's not just tall, he's a big boy.

Those were some good years. Those Jimmy Johnson years and the Wannstache transition years were the worst. We did not have the worst Dolphins team back then, but they were bad years because you knew they would always finish high but were not capable of winning it all.

Never any rebuilding, never any excitement other than bringing in a washed up free agent. It felt hopeless. At least when we were 2-14 I knew there would be a shakeup. (I try to forget the 1-15 season)

I have a pic of it, no gif.

It was a long pass on a sideline go route. Probably 25-30 yards downfield.

OG must of squirted some crazy glue on his glove that day. What a catch!
 
OG was my friggin boy when he was a Phin

Dude had paws. There were too many guys afterward like Hagan and Chambers who dropped balls left and right. Those drops were drive killers, momentum killers.

What really bothered me with Chambers is that he'd make the one-handed catches, and the diving and keeping his feet in bounds catches, but it was the ones right between the 8 and the 4 he always had trouble with.
