They're going to talk about the T.O. signing. Tune in -- this should be good.

Yep. I just spoke to that in one of the hundred T.O. threads.

Here...I'll tell you what he'll say.

He's excited.

He's dealt with difficult WR's before.

He treat him like any other team mate and try to spread the ball around.

He doesn't expect any problems.

The end.

What do people think he's going to say.

um yeah..Jerry really f'd up signing this clown.

We don't want him here

I predict he'll cause lots of trouble

Reaction: "I was fired up since the first time I learned it was even a possibility."T.O.'s a great player, hard worker, etc. Guys like having him around ( ). I've worked with difficult players. If T.O. isn't happy on the field, he has to tell me exactly why. If we're going to be honest on the field, things are going to work out."

Acknowledged that things aren't going to work if T.O. comes up yelling and screaming at him without any specifics in how to remedy the situation.

Considering that most of his Eagles teammates showed up at his "birthday bash" months after the Eagles front office decided to get rid of him, I don't think he has a problem with most of his teammates.

Jevon Kearse and Lito Sheppard were among the 11 Eagles who had arrived at the party by 11:15.

"It's a wonderful event and I'm just showing some support," Kearse said. "He's a wonderful teammate."

"I would go to battle with T.O. any day of the week. A lot of people don't understand him," said former Eagles receiver Freddie Mitchell, one of early arrivals.

He can't actually think he'll get specifics out of TO, can he? The most specific TO has ever been is "Throw me the ball on every play. Sit everyone else on the field down and let me run to go."

Interesting that he'd even have to acknowledge that TO's "difficult".EDIT - What "difficult WR" has Bledsoe dealt with that's even remotely resembles TO? Glenn? If it's Glenn, then Bledsoe's hit the lottery because he's now dealing with the two most difficult WR's he's ever dealt with.

Keyshawn and him don't see eye to eye. They make it work.Interesting that he'd even have to acknowledge that TO's "difficult".

[redman]

Ok, fair enough, you've got Keyshawn in the mix too. And if they resign Keyshawn like some say they will, then he'll have the three most difficult WR's he's dealt with at the same time.

Even Keyshawn hasn't done the stuff to personalize issues with (current) teammates the way that TO has. The closest comparison I can recall with him was that stupid lantern/star comment he made while on the Bucs about Chrebet before a game vs. the Jets. (I still love that he caught one ball for one yard in that game! ) TO's nuked guys in his own locker room and even during games.

Red,I know you are painting a picture for us and I get it, but what do you want Drew to say really?

I don't care what he says. I'm just pointing out that people are already walking on eggshells, which is precisely what you have to do to coddle TO. Trouble is, I can't envision Parcells coddling TO. Remember, I'm on record in the other thread expecting TO to have a big year statistically and to benefit the Cowboys overall - I think they're a likely playoff team this year (only likely, not certain, because of how tough that division is). I just think he's that rare player that is a bona fide stud in terms of talent, but whose personality makes him a net loss to add to your team overall.

In short, I think the Cowboys have taken one step forward, to be followed by two steps back with him.

Your eggshells...I say he is just giving TO the benefit of the doubt and the chance to prove himself on the field. On the field as a Cowboy fan is all I care about. I could care less about his stupid rap song and all that is TO, but I am glad he is now in Dallas. He makes them a solid contender in the NFC with about 4-5 other teams...imo.
