"I just want to go ahead and say this on record, that I know whats expected of me Jerry, and I wont let you down"
Remember when T.O. said that? Has he let us down? Well we wont know untill the playoffs, because he was brough in to help us win a Super Bowl. But as of right now, I dont think there is any question he has let Jerry Jones down. Not all of this is TO's fault. He leads the league in drops, yet also leads the league in touchdowns among receivers I'm fairly sure. He has a torn tendon in his finger, yet alot of his drops have been on long passes where cradling the ball is how to catch it-not on passes where he has to use his hands and fingertips to squeeze the ball.
We are not using T.O. properly. He isnt the normal wide receiver. His strengths lie in the lateral receiving game, allowing him to catch the ball, and use his speed and strength to make a play. How many times have we seen him lined up in the slot, and go across the middle? I can think of a few times, and it usually resulted in a positive. Usually we have him lined up wide, and send him on vertical routes. We use him like most receivers are used, and while he has put up decent numbers, I think we can all agree he hasnt been the T.O. of past. Maybe some things will change, but I doubt it, BP isnt the best at making adjustments it seems.
