Just a Notion ...

[Phoenix-Talon]

Could Bledsoe be intimidated by T.O.? Afterall, T.O. has a hostory of having high demands ...he seems to eat quarterbacks alive! Both Jeff Garcia and Donovan Mcnabb were intimidated by T.O. demanding to get more touches, complaining about balls not being thrown to him while he is "supposedly" wide open (whether he catches the balls or not is another question).

That's a lot of stress that Bledsoe may be trying to avoid. So much so that his avoidance of conflict with T.O. (which is actually unavoidable) may affect his ordinarily solid game.

As an Eagles fan, I'd like to forget abOut the 2005 season. But just looking back for a short Minut, I can't recall Bledsoe Being this off of his game. Something is Bothering him, and I can't believe it is the quarterback controvery that seems to have taken life.

If Bledsoe (a veteran) is intimidated by T.O. ...is the even Less experienced Romo intimidated also?

Just a notion.

 

[DragonCowboy]

Uh....what?

 

[joseephuss]

I don't think so. I don't think Garcia or McNabb were ever intimidated, either. T.O. probably annoyed all three QBs, but he did not intimidate them.

Alright ...do you think that Bledsoe is "annoyed" by T.O., to the point of it effectiNg his game?

Romo will take his 9 iron to Mr TO.

Seems as though that would be in a coaches job description.

That is a possibility. Probably not a major factor, but it does have a minor influence on the QB.

I'm not sure.

Drew has looked different to me this season. I don't know if it's age or too many hits, but he's not delivering the ball the way he did even last year.

Your scenario is one idea that crossed my mind. I wondered if Drew was pressing to spread the ball out, and as a result holding the ball even longer and not pulling the trigger.

No, I don't think TO has anything to do with DB troubles this year. DB was making the same mistakes last year as well, just not as often. If you ask me, for some reason, bledsoe has been playing scared all season for the most part. It might go back to the hit he took against Minny in preseason. For example, on monday night.. on Strahns first sack, he comes clean from way outside the TE, Drew took the snap and saw him come free,, and just curled up to take the hit, it took alittle over 2 seconds for him to get there.. Drew could have thrown that ball away at the snap, but he just froze.

and on a side note,, I know everyone wants to blame TO for everything bad since JFK was shot, but he hasn't done anything to DATE on this team that would be cause for alarm.

Probably......but I would think in this case...it would be better if Romo got TO's attention. There comes a time when all QB's need to let everyone know just how the Cow eats the cabbage.

 

[Phoenix-Talon]

I think it does also. But I also believe that T.O. may have played Romo against Bledsoe ...knowing that Bledsoe is More Inclined to spread the ball around, and even could favor throwing the ball to Glenn more than T.O. On the other hand, Romo seems to favor T.O. and even Looks for him more than other receivers.

No, I think you are reaching a bit here. Not every bad thing that happens on this team is TOs fault. Drew is to blame for Drew's short comings so far this year IMO.

Maybe, but it seems that Bledsoe would prefer to throw the ball to Glenn just to prove that he is not intimidated or annoyed by T.O.'s demanding ways.

I heard ESPN is hiring...this type of **** is exacty what they are looking for. Just come up with **** out of thin air. At least you are SPECULATING.

 

[peplaw06]

I'm pretty sure if there were any legitimate way to blame TO for Bledsoe's struggles, ESPN would be all over it.

 

[Phoenix-Talon]

Probably......but I would think in this case...it would be better if Romo got TO's attention. There comes a time when all QB's need to let everyone know just how the Cow eats the cabbage.

Perhaps ...I gUess now that Romo has taken the helm, we'll find Out.

What do you mean "since JFK was shot"? Wasn't that him celebrating on the grassy knoll?

Yes...T.O. will singlehandely destroy Romo, Bledsoe, Parcells, Jerrah, the Cheerleaders, Rowdy, the ball boy, the janitor, the cook, the homeless guy under the bridge, and T.O. will destroy all fandoms that have ever heard his name, or have seen him play!

Yes, T.O. has that kind of power...if you are weak, that is!!

Good observation. There are alot of things i noticed, one was the safety. Arrington is creeping up and Drew barely even glances at him then looks the other way then hikes the ball and is so slow to move back to let Julius block him. Reminds me of Vinny, too slow to come out from center ending up in an easy sack. You are right, he has froze.

I think as has been mentioned lately Drew started seeing the rush.
