Like it or not, he occupied two guys on defense....they constantly rolled coverage his way....now, the can virtually play man against us and send another blitzer....voila...recipe for a struggling offense....not to mention a former QB as the OC and what do you get? An team that is built to run passing at a near 2-1 clip....42 passes and 25 runs....and it wasn't like this was a game where we didn't have the lead....we had it until a couple of minutes were left in the game....Never let the running game even get a chance to develope.
8 Rushes the entire second half....only 3 in the third quarter.
TO's absence did effect this team...but it started while he was still here. The fact is from the middle of last season, Owens has been "just a guy". His days of being a game changer are done.
