TO has been fine overall (Irvin was worse overall as were many 90s boys like Erik W.)
While Tuna handled him well with the press - i'm not sure any coach could have done better - BUT i'm not sure he handled him the best he could overall. Just like he made errors with our team he made errors with TO that will haunt him and probably this season.
His training camp battles with TO seemed like the childish dispute he had with Pats owner Bob Kraft... battle of egos to the detriment of the team. Allowing the WR coach to have the tug-o-war was beneath all of them. Tuna has said to the press, he hasn't spoken to TO after several episodes such as the press fabricated "suicide" story and if true then Tuna was neglectful and incompassionate here and as 60-something w/ grandkids he should know better.
Tuna also misused TO alot, failing to recognize the players inability to CONCENTRATE if he's out of the game/loop. The coach/leader should avoid such problems and this was an easy one to avoid.... not a huge sacrifice by the team or whatever.
As fine as TO has been i'm not sure i want him back however, except for the fact we pay $3m to purge him and only $6m more to keep and we have no better alternates. Terry Glenn has faded in Nov/Dec each year, and this one is another example.
