T.O. has to be 1st option most of the time

[LittleBoyBlue]

Bledsoe was off today.... way off and TO still got 6 catches for 80 yards and got us back in it in the end....

TO was brought here for many reasons... he is a HORSE and should have a heavy workload... he can handle it and we need it....

yes he should be the primary but Bledsoe should not try to force the ball to him. This aint no "Terrell Ratio" like that stupid Tice tried in Minny. Bledsoe seemed to forget all about Glenn.

Agreed, not forcing TO the ball.... but TO gets open alot.... he should be thrown to alot...

BP should ride TO(horse) to the playoffs and SB....

I agree. Force teams to completely worry about him like we used to do with Deion. Teams were so afraid to throw to his side of the field, it would minimize their playbooks. Same with TO.

The play where he made the TD catch, he became a slot receiver and ran a fly pattern... Those are the plays TO is going to have to do all the time to keep Double coverages off of him.

Exactly!!!

By doing this you can make Glenn, Witten, Julius, O-line better. The opposing D's wont know what hit 'em.

I am not being a TO homer... but he does change the complexion of the game like you said about Deion.

You just gotta love what he said today... we left alot of yards, we left alot of Touchdowns on the field... we need that attitude, swagger.... its been along time coming...

 

[Muhast]

agreed. You don't have to throw to him all the time, but on 3rd and 12 or so. LOOK at him at least first, even if your hoping TGlenn beats his guy. that will shade the safety over and leave a true one on one.

I don't think the ball can go TO's way much more than it did today.

He caught 6 passes, had several overthrows his way and had two or three catches reversed because of penalties.

In my mind, we need to just keep that up. It worked today. It really did. The play calling put the guys in position to put this game away early. The executation just began to falter.

 

[Muhast]

to me... it's not about getting him the ball more, he had lots of chances.. it's about making people THINK its going his way. Bledsoe needs to at least look at Owens right away more often instead of locking on to one side of the field.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

we keep what we were doing w/ TO today, Glenn is going to be getting open alot, and we'll have more success running draw plays

True like on the 39 yard pass to Jones when Owens drew defenders away from Julius.

 

[DallasDomination]

T.O was the only bright spot out there...WOW the guy is a beast. Expect huge games from him.

What I noticed was that Bledsoe seemed to make a mental effort to not look at TO first. He seemed to be the 3rd guy Bledsoe looked to almost every passing play. While Glenn and Witten are good players I just dont think they possess the ability to get quick seperation like T.O does. I dont mean that in a bad way.

T.O needs to be the first read. He can get open quick and can take some pressure off of everyone else. I think Dallas should just forget about sending Glenn over the middle. Leave that area to TO and Witten. Just have him run streaks , deep posts , slants and crossing routes. That way he can use his speed to get open. I dont know about Witten. He looks great at times and at others looks to run a route kinda sloppy. I saw a couple routes yesterday where he could have sat down in zone coverage but he kept going right into traffic.

I dont know. I know I have said this already but it had to be fatigue. Noone on offense seemed to be fully in the game after those first two drives. I remember it showing Bledsoe drinking a Gatorade ( or Powerade? ) and he drank about half of it in seconds.

Yes. Drew doesnt understand that TO can make his life easier.... maybe even carry Drew's butt when he has days like this....

I think he does understand that. He played with Eric Moulds who before his groin injury was becoming T.O like in his seperation ability. I just think he doesnt want the other guys on the team to think he is only going to throw to TO.

Well, you could spend some time imagining what 10 million woulda brought to the Oline. But wether he catches or not, I hear el dorado will take us to the SB, so I am not too worried our Oline is bad. Superfreak can over come anything right?

Stupid Jones and his splash moves. For that same 10 mill we bought 1 savior with, we coulda have a RT and a LT, or a LT and LG. But 2 stud linemen surely woulda made us look better then el dorado helped us look.

Ok so who would you have brought in?

Did anyone hear Deion's comments on TO and the Jax game on NFL GameDay (NFL Network). He said (and intimated he had been told) that at the beginning of the game the Jax defenders were so antsy about TO that they were neglecting other assignments to compensate, and this is why it was easy to score on them. I assume he meant rolling coverages to Owens. Then they regrouped and decided not to over-cover him, choosing the more balanced coverage route. Except for the td, everything TO got was 'underneath'.

Nothing new there - every team has to decide what its best strategy is re TO, and his chief strength is the game planning efforts dcs have to make on his behalf.

But Deion maintained that Jax chose wisely not to ignore other weapons. Perhaps realizing Owens is not in 100 % game shape yet, they chose the option, and perhaps with an understanding of Bledsoe's weaknesses, they decided correctly. Owens was not a force on the field yesterday the way we are all used to seeing him be, and it wasn't all because of Bledsoe.

But he will be. Maybe by as early as next week.

I agree. I also think the more Bledsoe and TO work together they better they will get.

You cant blame o-line this week... .get off of it.... It was all Bledsoe... he had time and stunk it up.... TO was open alot

.

If Drew is thinking that... then we are already done.... its called pulling a McNabb....

What comes first... winning the game or the other players feelings.... if TO were to get the ball alot it would still be a team effort... the other players will get their catches and everyone should help develop the play... blocking etc...
