Owens Up to Old Tricks, Takes a Shot at Sanchez

PrintSome people never change. WR Terrell Owens is no exception. He's been a member of the Cincinnati Bengals for less than two months, and he is already running his mouth.
This time, he chose to attack QB Mark Sanchez. You know, the QB that lead the Jets to victory against the Bengals twice last year, spoiling their season.
T.O. and Ochocinco have been doing weekly segments on The Daily Line, and in his most recent appearance, Owens had some words about Sanchez on the show:
"If they're gonna put him on a platform like that, if they're gonna make him the next Joe Namath, so to speak, then he has to come out there and he has to perform on a weekly basis," Owens said. "I expected a lot more out of Sanchez myself."
Owens is best known for leading the league in dropped passes in 2008, his VH1 reality show, and most recently, engaging in a never-ending circle-jerk known as "Batman and Robin" with teammate Chad Ochocinco.

TO is branching out....
Glad to see that Owens is commenting on other teams’ failings as well rather than his own or those of his teammates. I guess this would increase his reach.
Perhaps he should analyze the performance of his own team last weekend against Bellicheat. The only real yardage the offense got was when it was meaningless to the outcome of the game.
BTW, while he wasn’t with Cincy last year, I seem to recall Green beating them twice straight. (Still have the frostbite from the first win).
We all expect better from Sanchez, but commentary from this guy is only self-serving for him. Hey, if he had a rack, maybe he could report for Azteca?
Batman+Robin=Fail
Jets players should take exception to TO's comments.
Because that’s an insult to a fellow player.
But not fans. How many fans have thought the same exact thing as he did? It’s like he’s reading my mind. I hate that he’s right, but he is.
If this team is going to put it’s self on a pedestal in front of the media like they have, then they should expect every moron with an opinion to chime in at the worst possible time. This won’t be the last time it happens.

I agree w/ TO
That is a level headed remark that doesn’t need defending.
*shrug*
He said nothing that nobody else wasn’t already thinking.
I quite appreciate the humility
I mean, I’m a Dolphins fan, but even I expected much better from Sanchez.
Terrell wasn’t exactly bashing him.
Gonna take a fortnight at least to get this herd down to St. Louis on Mississippi. This glen's gonna be tough to traverse, and that river's got to be 50, 60 meters wide. And God knows how many fathoms. To hell with parliamentary procedure. We've got to wrangle up some cattles!

I don't see a problem at all
He wasn’t taking a shot at Sanchez, just pointing out the reality. I think what he said constitutes fair criticism – I expect more out of Sanchez too.

Yeah, it sucks that he's not wrong.
But he should still keep his big mouth shut. Especially since they’re on the schedule. >: )
I hope that David Harris gets him like Ray Ray got Chad JOHNSON.
That’s my view as well. I hate that he is actually right, but I expected more out of him as well. Again it’s just one game, but if you build up his improvement all off-season and he comes out and completes 1/9 3rd downs and throws for around 70 yards…..you would expect more.

He's right
Shanchize just didn’t look good. Everything was underneath, and if it wasn’t, it was called back on penalty. Ugly, and if the games stay ugly, then TO will continue to be right. Whoever wrote this article is a little too much of a “Homer”.
It's suprising he didn't talk about himself for once.
Maybe 85 is having a positive impact on him. I do feel bad for the guy though, nobody deserves to have to suffer though Buffalo for a year. I served two years in that hellhole and I’m traumatized to this day,
Actually TO is probably best known for being
an absolute stud wide receiver, one of the best 10 to ever play football, but I guess that other stuff works.
We take shit to personally here. Our team talks all year but we get our panties all in a bunch when another player/team says something. Who cares what TO thinks anyway?
engaging in a never-ending circle-jerk known as “Batman and Robin” with teammate Chad Ochocinco.
Its not like one of our own guys engaged in a similar circle jerk with Darrelle Revis known as “Pippen and Jordan”.
Who cares. It’s TO. He talks.
+10
I don’t pay any mind to what this guy says. He’s a comedy act. And with all the talking we do, we shouldn’t care in the least.
Leading the league in passes dropped is the last thing I remember of him. I have too much respect for his talent to let that one stat mean anything to me.

Nothing bad about his comment
He is right!!! We want Mark to be are savior, so take the damn handcuffs off and let him be spread with 3 to 4 WR’s and throw the damn ball
i think the key to this offense is good play action
pound away with greene and LT. Let’s get some real run action passes going on, run some real routes down the field, and trust Sanchez. We have to. That’s the only way we are going to win a title. If he can’t do it, than he can’t do it. I think he can do it, but we have to find out and sooner is better then later. Lets trust our running game, trust our offensive line, and get some playaction going where guys have some real routes to run, not 3 step drop quick slants and ins and outs every time.
Thats the scary thing is
that if he were capable of doing these seemingly simple things, I think you would be seeing some element of ability in him. After time in 3 preseason games and 1 regular season game we see zero trust in him. So what is it? Is the coaching staff rightfully wrapping this kid in bubble wrap because they know he’ll just hit the saftey in the chest with the ball? Or are they stupid because they have read all wrong and he really does have the ability of a real NFL QB?

Somewhere in the middle probably.
I think Sanchez is young enough that he’s going to make his share of mistakes, but he is talented enough to make some big plays, like any young QB. If we really want to win a superbowl, it isn’t going to happen trying to protect Sanchez from having to throw the ball/
Its not what T.O. said that is the issue
If I’m a Bengals fan or coach, I’m wondering why T.O. is worried about what Sanchez is doing. The Jets arent even in their division. Maybe T.O. and the Bengals should focus on overcoming that embarrassing performance they put together on Sunday.
