its all on TO

[McCordsville Cowboy]

we thought he would make big catches...in every big game besides NO he has dropped a big catch deep down field
Philly
NYGints - had a big 3rd down catch he dropped
The Skins
Last night..

pretty simple catches that would have probably won us the game, he needs to shutup...no one wants his act anymore...the cowboys are tired of it especially after yesterday...

Its all on T.O!!!! Your a clown...

You ever had sprained thumb??? I have had numerous sprained thumbs from shooting bricks on the basketball court and cant play or dribble with that hand effectively for two weeks. Now I cant IMAGINE what a TORN TENDON feels like or how in the world I would try to catch with it. But even in pre game you could tell that T.O was trying to catch with his PALMS????!>!>!

The guy is trying to play through the pain , but if YOU HAVE EVER played football and you dont try to catch a ball with your palms instead of your fingers unless something on your hand hurts. The one he dropped he tried to catch with his body not his hands...

Not making excuses for him but its common sense man... You and T.O share that for sure...

 

[Bleu Star]

And he would have had more if he'd just shut up and catch the ball. Like I said, he's dropping balls that my 8 year old son would catch. If he can't hang on becuase his fingers hurt then he needs to give up the slot to Hurd or Austin or whoever DOESN'T have torn tendons.

Although Hurd has snown promise one could easily assume Hurd, when given the playing time TO has had this year, wouldn't have 12 TDs at this point. Copper showed promise too.

Let's get back to TO's negatives though. That's the popular line of discussion. Let's get back to the smokescreen that continues to hide our one major deficiency. See my sig for more information.

Please don't put words into my mouth. Let me recap for you...

TO and TG both spouted off atthe mouth. TO was just in front of a podium because if he doesn't visit the podium he gets fined. TG had the luxury of spouting off to someone with a pen, paper, and recorder on the side. Never once have I argued one receiver being better than the other. That is not my purpose in presenting an alternative point of view from the popular "hate TO" viewpoint.

Glenn has been outstanding. To has also puit up some very good stats this year. Along with that is the much maligned drop stat made popular this year by ESPN. Who had the most drops last year? No one seems to be able to tell me.

You put play makers in position to make plays. To has not made his loving running deep posts right into double teams every single play. His living has historocally been made running the quick slants to the middle of the field and them killing the other team with YAC. Why don't we throw the quick slant to him? Help me out with that one. Please don't give me the alligator arms argument either please. (deep post...) Say something constructive.

I have always enjoyed TG as a receiver on this team and have never compared one receiver to the other. Now that we have that straight feel free to carry on with your weekly hate TO party.

Are you kidding? Parcells is the coach. Parcells hates it when players or coaches talk to the press. Hell I bet he hates it when Jones talks to the press. Please I'm begging you, show me were it has been written that owens must take the mic and speak.

You get funnier every day dude.

I'm glad you find me as a source of entertainment. I'll keep my day job though.

It is assumed that TO will hit the mic after every game. If he doesn't it will create a media issue. If he doesn't do it often enough there will be some sort of hoopla and fine. It happens all the time. Perceived team leaders are expected to take the mic. Do you think the media would let Romo just walk right by after every game? As a perceived spokesperson for the team the media expects whet you see cut up and placed onto BSPN every week. ProSports101.

Quick question to anyone who may know.

I know T.O.'s contract was essentially a series of 1 year deals, but is there any date at which we will know if he is going to stay or go?

Is there a bonus in March that he is due?

Just curious - I want to stay out of the debate.

Again, SHOW me were it is written. Our head coach does not like players talking to the press. He never has. You are obviously assuming when you say he MUST take the podium. Funny as hell really. Who the hell said owens is a team leader on top of all the crap you spew?

No. Don't be shy. Feel free to join in on the weekly bash TO party. It's the "in" thing to do you know.

Your responses simply prove to show you don't have much of a clue. I continue to provide you with information and you continue to seek humor. Some rules in pro sports are unwritten. "perceived" team leaders or standouts are always expected to provide media time after a game. That's elementary.

 

[LaTunaNostra]

Perceived team leaders are expected to take the mic.

Owens is not a perceived 'team leader', or a perceived 'team spokesman'.

He gets the mic because he's the league's lightening rod, and the mic gets thrust in his face wherever he goes.

Now he could turn it down, but that's not his style.

So be it, but he doesn't get the mic out of 'leadership'.

As for your sig, on this we agree. I think the time for Zimmer has run out.

My apologies for putting words in your mouth. As for TO, there's nothing he did last night that couldn't have been done and done BETTER than TO by another WR. Before he hurt his finger - maybe he stays in - but now that he has it is crystal clear that he is dropping balls that ANY WR ought rightly be expected to catch EVERY TIME. He has become a liability at WR because even when EVERYTHING ELSE is executed perfectly it is ANYTHING but a given that TO will catch the ball.

Again, TO was not responsible for 93 points.

"TO was just in front of apodium because if he doesn't visit the podium he gets fined" Are those not your words? Nice back pedal job. I challenge you to back up what you said. I don't think you can.

It's been fun but you spend to much time making crap up.

Hence the word perceived. You and I both know the media would not let TO get by without providing some media time. They feast off of it and as a star player, he has no choice but to sit there and give them time. It's simple pro sports procedure. It happens in basketball, baseball..etc

I said the potential for getting fined is great if he were to consistently shun the media. Please don't tell me you've never seen a player get fined for not giving the media their allotted time...

NO, no read your own words again. You typed them man.

You obviously don't understand what a professional athlete is expected to do both on and off the field. When the clock stops certain players are still expected to please the media. If they don't they are ostracized. If the don't often enough they'll get dealt with by the league. There are league policies in place for this type of stuff.

Prove it. Show me. You can't so just drop it, owens style. You are really looking bad here. Making it easy I might add.

You know what smart guy. Let's just spare everyone and assume I can 't show you a league rule just the same as you can't tell me who posessed the "most drops" crown last year. I'm sure we both have more important things to do with our day.

No not really. All I have to do is look up the most drops on the net. It's that easy. I don't see the need, especialy to satisfy you. Nice cop out though.:laugh1:

Cop out? You do realize by calling mre a cop out you are also implicating yourself. Look it up. Once you find the person that had the most drops last year and provide a link I will point you to the NLF bylaws that govern dealing with the media.

Nice try. Just let it go man.
