My 2006 TO Prediction
 

[trashtalk]
Prediction: TO will not even score on the Redskins and will get KO'd by Sean Taylor at some point this season.[/trashtalk]


Some cowturd friends of mine started talking "dallas" this morning and I made that prediction. I can see it happening very easily too.

Hail Skins!

You gotta know Sean has that first Dallas game circled and is chomping at the bit to nail TO. A nice "POP" by Sean just as the ball gets to TO would be real sweet.

Re: My 2006 TO Prediction
 

I see miracles!

D. Bledslow turns to B. Parcells, who has no answers, and ends up in a pillar of dust after a play.

TO is turned into whine!

B. Parcells is not raised up, but retires, and is put down!

cowgirl defense folds up their uniforms, and face masks, and are no where to be found!

cowgirl offense collapses in heaps upon heaps of ruins.

Re: My 2006 TO Prediction
 

Let's see..... T.O. did not play against the Skins in 05, and in 04 he caught 2 for 24 with 1 TD in his first adventure against the Skins and 6 for 46 in his second meeting. The Eagles won both of those games back in 2004, but T.O. really was a non factor. T.O. talks a lot of smack and is a great player, but if he gets hit a lot in a game, I don't think he does much. If Arch and Taylor smack him early, he won't be much of a factor. Heck, if they smack Bledslow a few times, T.O. will never even see the ball!

Re: My 2006 TO Prediction
 

taylor/washington sandwhich in the first meeting, TO fakes injury for second...

Re: My 2006 TO Prediction
 

I'm not really all that worried about Terrell Owens when he faces the Redskins, but I'm pretty sure he's going to have a big year.

He's going to be playing with a serious chip on his shoulder.

What else is new?


I'm predicting a T.O. / Bledsoe / Parcells meltdown right around the time they are 6-6 and realize they aren't going to make the playoffs.

Re: My 2006 TO Prediction
 

TO will probably suffer a chronic hamstring injury keeping out of 2 or 3 games. If the Cowboys fall out of serious contention during that time, bye-bye season.

So using your logic, the Eagles could have used Keary Colbert at WR and they still would have beat the Redskins.

Because from what I have read, Washington handles TO so well, they are considering using a cheerleader to cover TO on first down so as to keep the secondary fresh.

Why even bother covering him? He will just short arm the pass anyway. And If Taylor is even in the stadium, TO will soil himself.


Just to be clear, I think that the Redskins have the best chance to go to the SB as the NFC rep. (as long as Brunell stays healthy)

I also think that they go 11-5.


I also think that TO is a major issue for every Def Co-ordinator that Dallas plays this year.

Can you tell me why you aren't worried about TO when Dallas plays Washington?

Re: My 2006 TO Prediction

Check his last 2 games against the Redskins:

11/21/04: 2 catches, 24 yards, 1 TD
12/12/04: 6 catches, 46 yards, 0 TD

Not much to worry about with Taylor all over him.

Washington lost both of those games.

Do you think the Eagles would have won with Keary Colbert playing instead of TO?

thats not the point, the point is that TO is a nonfactor as according to his stats, he didnt produce much in those two games, whether or not we won is irrelevant to this

My point is that TO affects the way that you play Defence. Just like Taylor affects the way opponants play offence.

How did you do against the Eagles without TO?

Hmmmm. Two wins.

Re: My 2006 TO Prediction
 

not to undermine our wins but that was also with an injured mcnabb and a broken team due to TO...

Re: My 2006 TO Prediction
 

QB is a bigger issue than the wr corp cuz if your qb cant get the ball out then it doesnt matter whose receiving and a split team also isnt going to play well together and we were a better team last year than previous, so my point is there was more than just TO that led to two victories, you cant just say oh well TO wasnt there thats why the skins won

The Eagles were also a Super Bowl team that year, the Redskins were 6-10.

TO wasn't the main reason they won those games. The fact that they were a much better team is the reason why they won.

TO had little impact on those games, just like what he'll have this year.

You're really oversimplifying things.

The Eagles were a team in turmoil all year, McNabb was hurt, they had problems that went beyond simply missing their star WR.

The Redskins were the better team last year, TO wouldn't have made a difference in either game.

Right. It just wasn't the fact that the Eagles were that damn good that year, it was the fact the Redskins were in a similar turmoil that year as well. Poor QB play, injuries to key players (Jansen), TO made no difference.

Re: My 2006 TO Prediction
 

just as the cowboys thought the monday night miracle was a fluke, the fact they were that close was a fluke. it was more like the drubbing we laid on them the second time. thats how good we are... even though torrin t ucker sucks.

Re: My 2006 TO Prediction
 

im on 5rings side here(alittle bit, anyway) but greg williams does know how to game plan against owens, which is one thing the stats do prove. matty's point of the eagles simply being the better team(god that hurts to say) is why the eagles won both games in 2004. macnabb was the difference in both games

Re: My 2006 TO Prediction
 

It's mainly going to be if Rogers is up to the task of covering Glenn one-on-one. If he can handle that, our backers are more than capable of handling Witten.

I do admit to oversimplifying things a little, but I do like to hear from the guys that admit that the pick up of TO changes the Dallas offence signifigantly and post their reasons as to why the Redskins will win.

All of our opinions become dust when the two teams take the field.

Re: My 2006 TO Prediction
 

[quote=5RINGS]Can you tell me why you aren't worried about TO when Dallas plays Washington?[/quote]Traditionally over the past 2 games, T.O.'s statlines have only been so-so vs. Washington. GW will be using the same defenses he used before and has more to use this year. The focal point will be to shut Owens down and I agree with SBF, I don't think he will score. Someone will score for Dallas though, Julius Jones I think, as I am predicting a season split.

He had played a good game too as we matched the Eagles statistically. It's just unfortunate.

I think he's a great pickup and he'll probably have a big year.

However I'm not worried about him going up against our secondary is all.

Just in general, if the past has told us anything, whenever the Skins and Cowboys are on the field at the same time, it's the definition of "any given Sunday".

Re: My 2006 TO Prediction
 

But to give it a bit of objectiveness, I'll give it a shot. Dallas has home field advantage this go around. That will help like usual. If Springs can stay healthy and not continue his decline (that some of have noticed) he'll be able to cover TO with no problem as long as Taylor doesn't bite on some gadget play (which I'm hoping he'll be ready for since Parcells uses it EVERY TIME THEY PLAY). Truthfully, I don't see the Cowboys running on the Skins at all. Every team pretty much had trouble running on the Skins. Whether or not TO "spreads out the field" the Skins have a pretty elite rushing defense.

If the Cowboys are going to win, it has to be through the air. Rogers better play the best ball of his life otherwise Glenn will eat him alive. Washington is an excellent coverage linebacker, so I see Witten being a non-factor. The Glenn vs. Rogers matchup is key.

For Washington, I see them being able to run a bit better than the Cowboys. Portis is just flat-out a better back than Barber or Jones. I still don't think he'll go nuts, but it'll be efficient enough to open up the passing game. Provided Lloyd and Randle El live up to half the hype, they've gotten, I think one or both of them will make some key plays. Both teams need to win through the air. I don't know a lot about the Cowboys linebackers in coverage but both games, Cooley could get open and find holes, so I feel confident in that.

TMC,

Nice review, but close your eyes for a minute and think of your offence when you play Cooley and Fauria at the same time.

Now you have a headache for the opposition.
Picture it.

The TE's being too big for a nickle DB, too good for single LB coverage for more than 5-8 yards, the two WR's - Moss and EL - eager to break single coverage wide open.

And you don't dare pull someone from the box because Sherriff Gonna GetCha will steal your life away from you.

And although he doesn't have the best hands for a RB, you don't want him catching a pass behind the LOS because then he is unleashed on your Secondary and coverage guys who are scrambling around and to try and cover all your pass catching threats.

Think about this for a minute. Picture this formation happening.

Can you see Brunell with a ton of time behind that experienced talented O Line? Even if someone breaks through he still has some wiggle and will buy himself some time while the secondary tries to cover all those pass catching threats.

Just imagine this.

They march down the field, plays being called by a veritable offensive genius, their team Coached by one of the greatest Coaches of all Time.

Picture that.

Can you see it??

This team might emerge from the NFC bEAST to win the whole tournament!They might hoist the trophy for a fourth time in club history.

Can you see it??
Can you picture it??







Now imagine she was white.

Also, don't forget the Sheriff has leather balls. He's going to use those to stiff "arm" someone.
