Yes indeed. T.O. will discover that there's no free reign over the middle just because #21 is no longer with us. Not only will Landry lay some wood on him, but T.O. will continue to have the drops against us just knowing that we have an enforcer back there.

I seem to remember Owens "dropping" 8 receptions for 173 yards and 4 TD's in the one game against Washington last November.

I also remember that Sean Taylor wasn't playing. He could have made a big difference in that game.

If taylor was that good, why did the skins have the record that they had before he got hurt? I guess he would have played qb and not have thrown an int if he would have played against dallas.

The Redskins had a winning record at 5-4 heading into that game, what's your point?

Since when is or 5-4 a losing record? JC Might not have needed to throw that pass that got intercecpted at the end of the game if Talor was healthy. TO would have never put up 4 TD's with Taylor there.

You know what nevermind, we got something for TO this year. Just remember we won the last time our teams met.

These teams have split the season series the last couple of years in a row, so I do not think any of us have much to brag about.

We could trade excuses all day long...no Taylor...Dallas clinched and did not come to play...blah blah blah. Six in one hand, half dozen in the other.

I would be careful with that statement though. Posting that is just like saying "we do not have quality depth".

Not really. There are good quality players and then there are great players. I classify our depth at that time as good but not great, based on lack of experience. I classify T.O. as a great player, just not when he faced Sean Taylor.

That was the one Taylor was injured for, just before his death.

If ST was that great, why did the skins have the record they had before he got hurt? I guess he would have played QB in that game too and he wouldnt have thrown that INT to T-New.

It's funny how many Cowboy fans forget the other games where he was a non factor. Just like everyone else said, Taylor was out and there wasn't a plan in place. Tell me that Moss wouldn't have dropped the same kind of yardage on a second string safety (hell, he did it against FIRST string Roy Williams, but I try not to harp on that )

You know we will always see "apples and oranges" on this subject. But as for those "other games" you mentioned from Owens first season with Dallas, that was the year that Owens played the entire season with a broken bone in his hand, and although he led the league in dropped balls, he still led the league in TD's too. He played hurt the whole season and had surgery in the off-season to fix that bone in his hand.

In the same spirit though, we have all seen Santana Moss take himself out of games for one reason or another.

And the only game Owens played last year against Washington was in November of last season, he did not play the second game due to a high ankle sprain.

I believe that one of our DB's broke his hand in that first season you speak of. Can't remember his name though. It was some 3rd or 4th stringer. Not Ade Jimoh but.... It doesn't matter

And I seem to recall that he was beating Pierson Prioleau playing deep at FS that day. With Landry now at FS, he brings Taylor's physical brand of play back there. I look for TO to have drops facing Landry as he did nearly every game that he faced the prospect of getting layed out by #21.
