Really? Because Rodney Harrison said when Belichick was making his defensive game plan for the Cowboys game, they didn't really worry about TO. They were worried about stopping Barber and Witten.
Yes really....why is it so hard to accept that TO caused defense coordinators that played against him...to double team him.......he was a threat..
When Buffalo played NE this year....why did NE...play a cover 2 and even dropped their LB's back deep? To prevent Buffalo's WR's from making a difference....Did you watch that game?
All you have is Rodney Harrison saying that Witten and Barber posed more of a threat....and I agree Witten is more valuable then a TO type player.
But TO caused problems and opened the field up for Witten.......just ask Witten.....he even said it himself.....
So you believe Harrison but you dont believe Witten?
Im not a big TO fan....but I find it funny how we can deny that he caused issues for Defense Coordinators while being with Dallas. Its been well documented that Owens was shadowed...doubled...keyed...alot of times......and even tho he dropped some balls....the threat he caused had to still be accounted for.
But to some....he wasnt never accounted for...and was JAG.....
We dont need TO back....but we need the threat he caused on defenses back.
