Parcells and T.O

Right and this was a team with a better overall offense running the show.

T.O in dallas, is not good for the skins, but then again look who they have for a QB, I hate dallas

Oh come on. It will make for a great game!! We beat TO last season and we'll beat him this season.. only this time it will be so much more fun because he is a Cowboy!! I can't wait for the game!

I'm laughing so hard right now.

What is so funny?

TO in Dallas. While I will totally concede he will make them better, he will NOT make them a Super Bowl team, hence the name TEAM.

The surrounding members also have to be up to the task and obviously the running game is not.

Malcolm,

whats with the "banned" and the 'defector' stuff?

Malcolm remember that last year Dallas' running game had to deal with 8 man fronts cause there was no receiver that needed to be doubled near the LOS. That changes with TO.

Now we are looking at a more balanced offense. With a Game Changing home run hitter at WR.

I'm reading through these posts and most focus on TO's behavior. While this should be the most important concern for the Cowboys, I personally don't assume that Owens will be as good as he was with his first year with the eagles. Going to the eagles, he was going from a west coast offense to another west coast offense. Going to the cowboys, he is coming from a west coast offense to a Parcells-led offense (or whoever is in charge of that offense, but I know it aint a west coast philosophy). I believe that he won't meet the expectations that everyone holds for him (on the field), considering it will be a more difficult transition in changing offensive schemes. In my opinion, it is hard for anyone to accept change and learn new things (esp. when you've been used to one way for your whole career), but considering his behavior in reacting to adversity or his sensitivity to feeling slighted by others - it will be more difficult for him compared to others to accept his new and very different surroundings and system.

Just my opinion and maybe wishful thinking, but I think my reasoning has some real logic to it.

I can't argue that Bledsoe is the QB that McNabb is. But Bledsoe does have a big arm. The question is will he be throwing while getting sacked or throwing from his Front Foot?

Philly did not run the ball. You all saw that. If McNabb had an offense that had a legitimate run threat the Eagles would have been much better off.


As to TO changing offensive schemes, well experts will bore you to tears in any sports bar about how the West Coast Offense is truly the 'Walsh/Seifert' version, or how all teams run some variant of it or blah blah blah.

Really, I think that TO could play in a Big 10 - now 12 - offence (three yards and a cloud of dust) and make an impact.
