Owens Spouts Off About Lack of Passes His Way

[firehawk350]

6 catches for 66 yards??? 666...

Someone writes something like this but yet can't spell Owens?

It was a Faustian slip.

Frankly, I'm not even sure why Gryph continues to post stuff from that site here. It's like posting someone's opinion from Extremeskins.

I was wondering the same thing

TO in no way included Romo in any criticism. As for WRs down the field who wide open, I would want to know what kind of coverage the Pats were in before criticizing Romo. The Pats frequently show a cover 2 but actually are playing a cover 3 to suck in QBs, particularly young QBs, to throw the ball but then the safety steps in for the INT, etc. Since Romo (after Bills game & study of Pats film) could easily have seen what he thought looked like a cover 2 but immediatley recognized it as a cover 3 and went away from that. Also don't know what kind of pressure Romo was getting which didn't allow him time to hold the ball, etc.


Frankly, I'm more concerned at the offense's inability to get a quick start. We wasted 15 minutes of the game screwing up--while NE was scoring 14 points & keeping our defense on the field. While some of that attributable to failure of our defense to get off the field on 3rd downs, our offense picking up a first down here and there should would have helped a tired defense in the 2nd half.

i didnt like this quote form TO.

"Its all on the QB."

meaning Romo should have thrown to him deep more. Why the hell does he have to always say this **** in public?

Romo would throw more to owens in the 4th if he trusted him more. but i don't blame tony cause owens drops too many passes

I was thinking that exact thing. If Owens catches those 5 balls he dropped, likely the score is very different and possible the game. :bang2:

It was a Faustian slip.

It could be called..."Proof reading".

With this talk about Romo not throwing to TO, has anyone else noticed that when Romo does throw to TO, that the ball usually arrives sort of behind TO? Like Romo isn't leading TO to the ball. I haven't noticed that happening to many of the other receivers. Is it that TO is just fast, or am I missing something?

And I am not saying that is why TO drops balls. Whether he catches it or not, just something that I noticed.

The author of the article and the author of the thread title are not the same.

 

[LongSnapper]

T.O is right

 

[percyhoward]

I'd like to see the thrown to/catch ratio for our TE's and WR's. Wanna bet TO's isn't as high as Crayton's, Hurd's or Witten?

Times Targeted/yards per target
1. Crayton 39/9.8
2. Witten 49/9.3
3. Hurd 13/9.2
4. Owens 56/8.1

Garbage...keep on hating, and go back to school to learn how to spell.

I know TO was baited into chirping...but this is why we need to draft a stud WR and let Tony Romo and the young stud WR grow together....I hope Romo has enough toughness to stick to his reads and let the game come to him...the last thing we need is more turnover trying to get TO the ball
