You didn't think one big game would be enough to make T.O. happy, did you?
"I'm still not satisfied," T.O. said today. "I think that I could have done more. Up until this point, I understand the situations that we've had in front of us. We've had a lot of injuries. We haven't been able to throw the ball as much, as well without Tony in there. I understand the situation. For me, I'm just being patient and trying to take advantage of the opportunities when they do come my way."
Wait a second. You're coming off a 213-yard game, the second-highest yardage total of your career. Why aren't you satisfied?
"Because I could've been doing it all year long," T.O. said. "I'm not saying that in a negative way. For whatever reason, the opportunities didn't present themselves. Like I said, I know what I can do once I get the opportunities and I get catchable balls."
So what would satisfy you?
"Nothing," T.O. said. "No more questions from you."
For the record, T.O. pointed at another reporter when he said that last line. And, after some prodding, T.O. said a Super Bowl win would be satisfying.
TE Jason Witten, who has four catches in the last four games, snickered when told that T.O. still isn't satisfied.
"He's a competitor and I think he always is wanting more," Witten said, "and that's what makes him who he is."
On a somewhat related note, T.O. was wearing one of his signature T-shirts today that read "iLove" on the front and "ME SOME ME" on the back.
