Larry Brown says TO stopped on several routes today

[Q_the_man]

You can see him running the route in the video. It shows it right after in a replay (within the replay). Owens runs the route extremely hard until he turns to look for the ball, which is natural. Once he locates the ball he realizes it's out of reach and stretches forward to try and knock it down.

It looks to me as though he only lets up on the route when he turns his head to locate the ball. By then its too late, as it was a poorly thrown ball into perfect double coverage.

it was a bad throw into double coverage, anybody with any football IQ saw that....

The point is that people like Moss and Williams make that grab, but TO doesn't even try. He's a good player, but he does pout on the field quite a bit and gives up on routes.

Moss? This is the guy you use as representative of a model citizen, particularly in terms of giving up on routes?

he's a great teammate because everyone on the team loves him, compared to being a jerk to everyone. he pouts and all but what football player has ever cried about his QB.

Defintion of a bad team player are players who throw team members under the bus and talk dirty about everyone, all TO talks about since he's been a Cowboy is himself, Cocky and arrogant, Yes. great teammate, yes...

Even after all that stuff in Phily all the philly player basically took TO side, going to his party's and everything, if he was a bad teammate they would not bother with him....

You must miss allot of his interviews then. Good teammates keep their mouth shut about guys like owens complaining. That's what HE has.

So you are saying that Moss doesn't go up for the jump balls?

I hate that after such a great game with our team CLEARLY on the way back up with tremendous upside yet... THIS is the longest thread. Yuck

I guess you are.

We beat a very bad team, which we should. We'll see how much we are really "on the way back up" against Pittsburgh.

Having said that, I'm glad for the win. I only hope we didn't get screwed on the injury front.

point is he pouts, but does not throw anyone under the bus, all he says is throw me the ball, which can get kinda annoying but has been a great teammate since he;s been here....

He's a great player. It's his attitude I hate. How people can say he's
got a good attitude or is a great teammate is beyond me.

I couldn't agree more! I used to get mad at Irvin because of his off the field stuff but I could never say or even question in my mind that he had anything but a good attitude or didn't give his all on the field!

Which of their bad qualities affected their respective teams worse, I don't know, probably Irvin's because of suspensions! But it's hard to gauge how Owens selfishness affects the team/coaches.

He threw his coaches under the bus last week. What more do you want?

True, but I thought it was an interesting observation by Larry Brown, so I posted it. Nothing can taint this win for me. I'm on an 8-4 high.

 

[DaBoys4Life]

He also said that TO could've scored a TD on two of them if he had kept running. Not to start anything, but it seemed that he was a little peeved when Witten scored too, IMO. I hope I'm wrong. I'm a TO fan unlike some around here.

I'm just glad Dallas didn't wear those ugly butt throwbacks again! Back to home whites! AHHHHHHHHH!!!!! YES!!!!

Oh good grief! Larry Brown must not have had a decent turkey meal today.

Why are you making this up?

 

[Boysboy]

This picture ends any shred of credibility you thought you had:

*sigh* the Owens-haters are really mystifying sometimes.

 

[BHendri5]

okay man.

I wont argue it anymore.

I was not going to get involved in any owens talk, with the team winning I really dont care what the guy says or does. So this is my last post on the guy for a long time.

Good, Thank You , because you do not know what you are talking about

 

[BHendri5]

It proves he gets that way. Always has.

some people would be shocked to see him in person on the field. he barely talks to his teammates and he looks to be disinterested at times.

the guy has more talent than most of the wr to have ever played the game but he always allows his lousy personality to be the story.

and by the way, I am not saying he did anything wrong today and there is nothing to get upset about. however, his effort on that int was really poor and if is going to get all the glory all the time and blame everyone else when he plays poorly, he should be called out for his lackluster effort here and there.

Dude, you are making up stuff now. I've seen him in person and I have seen the him talking to his teammates laughing and a lot of players do not pay that much attention to the game when they are on the sideline.

you are just being assinine

 

[BHendri5]

sorry, you just disqualified yourself from having an opinion.

Oh, I'm sorry you must be God, I am blessed and I will always have an opinion, and Babe is an idiot.
