dont ever put DEz in Owens category. The only thing he was similar to with Owens is they both didnt know when to shut up.You can say whatever you want about Dez being dumb or whatever but the offense has always been a problem and he was validated with his opinion when Linehan was fired.
As dumb as Dez was in your opinion he was smart enough to break the TD record for receptions before he hit 30 years old and that is with an AWFUL offensive coaching staff that never used him to his full potential.
Just like TO, and Miles for a couple years before him. He ran his 9 routes clearing out space for others and when the defense gave him his favorable matchup then they might throw him the ball.
You talk about the 9 route so much. and this was the majority of his routes because as many people in the nfl have said this is the only route he can run consistently. Think even Josh Norman said this in a interview. Think it was something like his under routes didnt scare anybody because he looped his routes instead of cutting so that made it easy for them to cover. so all they had to do was cover aggressive were deep routes.
