Why isn't Terrell Owens a Defensive Player?

[PlatinumGold]

He should be a Safety with his body, decent speed and great size, NO HANDS tho.


he really should not be a WR.


HAHAHAHAHA

worst hands of any WR in the game.

 

[TheoPetro]

quality post...

relevant, informative, and interesting...

A-

 

[The Boston Dangler]

his raison d'etre is the touchdown dance...

 

[Gibsons]

To be a safety you need to relish contact. That ain't TO....

 

[Chiboy]

He gets more face time & money playing offense.

How come we have so many MNF spin-off threads? If you would have posted this in the orignal thread you would have had more responses.

He wouldn't get the ball enough. He'd start flaming the opposing team's QB.

HAH...TO couldnt tackle me if I was a meatloaf sandwich... he doesnt like to hit.

 

[ViviTheMage]

i used to use him with old football games...he would destroy haha.

 

[SSSnail]

Hey hey, get off the T.O. hate wagon, his dropped catch saved the Cowboys today. Like it or not.

 

[Wreckem]

TO for some reason drops easy catches, and catches balls that shouldnt be caught.

 

[PokerGuy]

While he doesn't have the greatest of hands of any wide receiver, did you happen to ever take a look at his stats? You might not think he should be a wide receiver, but his stats make it pretty obvious that you're wrong. He seems to be able to make the incredible catches, but then loses focus and drops easy passes......

i think safety generally get paid more than WRs.

Say whatever you want about TO. We all know he doesn't have the best hands in the NFL (and lets be serious - the 2 pt conversion was either GREAT defense or DPI, hardly a "bad drop" by TO), but he is still an elite WR.

edit: oh, I realize you were making a "joke", but most safeties don't have TO's body type either.

 

[Cuda1447]

he dropped ONE easy pass in that game. The 2 pt conversion catch a lot of players would have even got their hands on, it was a good defensive play. The one where he caught a 30+ yarder he got ruled out of bounds. If you watch the replay he had one foot in bounds and the other going directly in front of it until he was forced out, bad call IMO. He dropped the pass on that quick WR screen pass, he was probably thinking ahead of the cut he was going to make.

not a joke.

i don't know, he should have made that 2 pt conversion catch, he should have made that catch with 15 seconds to go.

he should have made ONE of those catches at the very least.

no one has TO's body type, he is a physical speciman. he is 6'3" 224, guess he'd be a big safety.

edit


for comparison purposes, Roy Williams (probably a bigger safety) is 6'0" and 229 lbs.

 

[Deeko]

Most safeties don't have his height. There are some exceptions (Watkins on the Cowboys for instance), but most safeties are closer to 6'0" and maybe 215-230.

Yes, he should have caught one or both of them - I excuse him more on the 2 point conversion because it was a very tough catch and the defense was very tight - but he can make some ridiculous circus catches too, and he's still putting up good numbers this year. Hey, Randy Moss got stopped this week too. Marvin Harrison hasn't done much this year. Happens to the best of 'em.

Compare the top safety salaries to the top wide receiver salaries here.

 

[Syringer]

Why aren't you a writer for ESPN?

Oh wait.

 

[Syringer]

But, since you're not "joking", here are some numbers for you..

Here's how he ranks all-time..

Receptions: 13th
Receiving yards: 14th
Receiving TDs: 4th
Yards from scrimmage: 38th

 

[BrokenVisage]

He is, Michael Vick and Pacman Jones are the only two NFL players who defend themselves more than T.O.
