Is T.0. over the hill?

[dmq]

I know Tony missed on that long td pass, but this guy has all but disappeared from our offense. He was abusing teams last year. Now we even have a legitimate threat on the other side and the only stuff thrown to him seem to be forced. He is 35 now. Is this the end?

He definitely doesnt get seperation like he used to, but inconsistent Romo, that inconsistent O-line, and Red ball are just as much to blame.

if Tony doesn't miss on that would-be TD pass, this thread doesn't get made

And he drops a lot of passes as well. That is why I'm ready to cut ties with him after this season. I expect more drop off next year, and more circus to go along with it.

I expect more anti-T.O posts from you as well..

T.O blew past coverage and LIKE ALWAYS!!!!! was underthrown by Chad Penni.... I mean Tony.

You are definitley not Jack Bauer...

More like Chloe or Edgar.

T.O.'s definitely getting there quickly.

 

[cowboyrock]

Yes he is over the hill and overrared.

T.O. has 10 touchdowns this year. The leading receiver in the NFL has 11. He's probably going to go over 1000 yards again on Sunday. Factor in the 3 games without Romo (2 of them would have been against horrible defenses, if only he had someone who could throw the damn ball downfield) and he's actually had a pretty good season. Just not compared to his usual stats.

T.O. is still a very good receiver. He takes care of his body and he works as hard as any receiver in the league (whether ppl want to admit it or not).

The long pass was lost in the lights, so it's probably not a good example. But he's not making the impact he made last year. I tend to think the problem has been more with Romo, and our OL has taken two full steps back, at least, this season. I can't stand TO in a Cowboy uniform, but the guy's been unfairly attacked this year, and as long as he's still drawing attention and double teams, he'll be a Cowboy. He still draws attention. And I'd love to see Philly give him single coverage. Who knows, maybe the SF game was a fluke?

What disturbs me most is that he no longer gets the Rac he used to get. When he caught that crossing pattern, he just immediately went into a standing fetal position bracing for the hit. Also he seems interested in going down or out of bounds very quickly. How can a WR this big and strong be this timid? He still has speed and explosion but does not break tackles as well as he used to.

Whats that?

Somehow I doubt Philly will double him. No one in an Eagle uniform respects T.O., and I don't think they could admit to themselves that he's better than them one-on-one.

 

[pancakeman]

Yes, to make this case you'll have to explain the San Francisco game - one month ago his 213 yards were the most in one game for him in eight years.

 

[grp05]

Whats that?

Context clues tell me he means yards after the catch.

But seriously what the hell is Rac?

 

[TellerMorrow34]

Nope I don't believe he's over the hill. I think we've had a set of circumstances make his season look like he's not been that good when in fact he hasn't had a bad year.

 

[Dave_in-NC]

Whats that?

Run after catch?

Run After Catch yards.

RAC = Run after catch

Some people call it run after the catch instead of yards after the catch.

Oh.. thought you meant YAC.
