Ed Werder/ESPN carrying a log for Terrell Owens

[Rack]

I guess my question would be then why hasnt everyone done it every week since it became obvious he was such a dominant player.

You got to have the right personnel to run that kind of scheme.

The Packers and Skins have that personnel.

Don't ask me what happened against the Bengals and Cards.



You know, it COULD be the guy is just slowing down. He is 35 years old.

Just saying.

I kind of think it is more of what laufenberg always says.

If you press owens he gets frustrated. He doesnt get off the line that well and as the game wears on he checks out mentally and you dont see that same guy that makes a big play early.

I dont think he has lost a step, I think he is frustrated because teams are attacking his weakness.

That's probably what it is.


And there's no doubt he HAS lost a step. But he had lots of steps to lose so he's still better then most WRs in the NFL. But he isn't the same WR he was 5 years ago.

If Espn has some sort of agenda with TO, then at least get someone other than Ed Werder, Ed Werder is a panzy. not only that Ed is always last to get our breaking news.

 

[DragonCowboy]

The thing that made me the most mad about ESPN has nothing to do with TO.

It was when Chris Berman showed LaRon Landry getting trucked:

"Jacobs made LaRon Landry look like TOM Landry!"

What the heck?

How often has TO been caught from behind? Kind of answers that question.

"Lost a Step" doesn't necessarily refer to a players' speed IMO.


It refers to their overall performance level.

Why is Keyshawn so against Dallas? The way he picks against dallas, I am sure he will pick bye win over Dallas.

10:46 Brian Davis: Part of it has to stem from his seemingly blood-feud with T.O. They aren't friends for whatever reason. Maybe that's why he rips on Dallas, if you think he does. We learned this week with the Aikman/Boomer Esiason fiasco that people hear what they want to hear on the talk shows.

10:46 Tim MacMahon: T.O.'s theory is that Keyshawn is a jealous, bitter, washed-up receiver who didn't live up to his billing as a No. 1 overall pick and got cut by the Cowboys so they could sign 81. You know, that theory does make some sense.

10:49 [Comment From Chris]
Is T.O.'s age starting to show in the fact that he can't seem to get open? Has he lost a step? The great receivers get open no matter what type of defense they are facing or how much they are getting double covered.

10:50 Brian Davis: Now this is an interesting issue. Owens is 34. Corners have discovered that they should jam him at the line of scrimmage. What T.O. also doesn't like is that he must keep his hands down at the line of scrimmage. So corners automatically have a slight advantage with their hands. His age, salary, reputation, ego, whatever must deal with this. You're right about the great receivers. We saw Larry Fitzgerald find ways to catch the ball last week with people draped all over him.
10:50 Tim MacMahon: I don't think T.O. has lost a step. He looked awfully fast when he turned an intermediate crossing route into a 57-yard TD against the Bengals. He has never been great against press coverage, and he's getting roughed up at the line of scrimmage. I'm surprised that Jason Garrett hasn't done more to help T.O. get free releases from the line of scrimmage, such as sending him in motion.

TO's top speed is still there, initial burst, not so much, happens to everyone.

I'm very happy we have Roy Williams WR now, but I wish I could've seen Brad play with the same cast of receivers and see if it's the WR or the QB with the problems.

 

[Rampage]

The inability to get off the jam has been a weakness for TO since he's been in the league. It's nothing new.

what have you been watching? he's one of the best if not the best at getting off the jam for a while now. maybe your post was sarcasm.

My eyes opened up a couple years ago to the ESPN trash. I have yet to watch any programming on their POS network unless its Monday Night Football. Even then, I wish I didnt have to listen to those bias announcers. Everything about ESPN makes me sick, Im so glad TO dissed Werder last week because he's one of the main reasons I cant stand them. Its so obvious that every ESPN employee jumps on any and every opportunity to say something negative about Dallas. Grrrrr...it pisses me off to even be typing their name... LOL

Larry brown has been calling out espn this morning on the pregame show.

He said no one really knew how long romo would be out. The players never heard romo say he would be out at all. It was just a media member talking to a source close to the trainer who said 3 or 4 weeks.

Then he said this favre story about calling romo and then romo wanting to play is complete bs. He said that is the media again finding a way to throw stuff at the wall. He said it is pretty wrong for them to be running around claiming that romo is only trying to play based on favres call.

.

This is interesting if true and I have no doubt that it is because ESPiN has lost alot of credibility over the past oh 5 years. I wonder "where" ESPiN got the news that he would be out 3-4 months.
