If TO came out in next weeks preseason game and tore an ACL? Everyone needs to remember its only PRESEASON!! Does anyone really believe that TO needs the reps? Heck, no one complained when Emmitt sat and watched these meaningless games. These games mean nothing to a veteran who has a starting position locked up.

I believe the comments Jerry made about TO practicing at 75% were misinterpreted. What he was trying to say was TO needed to tone it down a little during practices. Most of us who have played football know that practices can drag on. We also know that most of us do/did not practice at game speed. TO gives his all in practices. Jerry didn't mean that TO needed to practice at 75% with an injury. The big picture says we need TO there when the season starts. Lets not let the media allow us fans to fall into their trap. They would love nothing more than to see TO out for the season before the regular season starts.

Hope this makes a little sense. If not oh well I tried.

I see what you're saying, but if T.O.'s not hurt, he's still gotta practice.

Your explanation is something like a guy who doesn't drive because he's afraid he'll get into a crash.

If he's not injured, he's gotta play with the team, familiarize himself with everything, etc.

What Jerry meant was what he said. Owens needs to get his butt off the bike and into the practices even if he can't go 100%. He needs to just go at a speed in practice that will not get him injured. That way he can learn the plays and playbook and give the QB a chance to get a feel for how he works. They can then take it up a notch when Owens get healthy but they will be a lot closer to having a rapport and will be a lot more ready for the season. He can skip the pre-season games but he needs to be in the practices.
