“The common denominator was me being in both places, but I will let you make that assessment,”
-T.O.
This monday night division rivals Philadelphia Eagles play the Dallas Cowboys on the national stage. This week 2 game could very easily influence the teams success in the rest of the season, the NFC East is one of the most competitive divisons in football and every division victory is going to effect the post season. A loss in this game will only make a team 1-1, but don’t overlook the importance of this matchup.
It’s only friday and some fireworks are already sparking. Outspoken Terrell Owens has made comments regarding the former relationship between himself and Eagles quarterback D-McNabb. Terrell just cant seem to drop this subject every time they mention his name. Some verbal shots were taken at Donovan that seem to be a bit selfish and uncalled for.
“I will say that Donovan made me a better receiver in Philadelphia, but I think Donovan would have a hard time admitting I made him a better quarterback,”
-T.O.
Since leaving getting kicked out of Philly, Owens has flourished in Dallas with Tony Romo and was actually able to get along with the quarterback for more than new year. I give Terrell credit for admitting that Donovan made him better, but I have difficulty understanding why Donovan wouldn’t say the same. The statistics prove that they were nasty together…
In 2004, Donovan had his best statistical season, while T.O. had 77 receptions for 1,200 yards and 14 touchdowns in 14 games. Fortunately T.O. got injured and we never had to see Andy Reid in those tights.
In Week 1, T.O. had 5 catches for 87 yards and a touchdown. Donovan had 361 passing yards and 3 touchdowns in week 1 against the Rams.
“I remember being in that stadium and hearing them chanting my name, and that couldn’t bode well for Donovan.”
-T.O.
Does Philadelphia miss T.O.? The success the 2 had together is undeniable…. But we will never know what they COULD have been together.
