T.O. Much Coverage — 12.01.09

Posted on 02. Dec, 2009 by Graham Kates in NFL, T.O. Much Coverage

The media’s coverage of Terrell Owens’ season, until two weeks ago, could have been defined as “quiet.” Each week, reports noted that Owens’ offensive numbers were muted, and the loud personality we were used to was mostly silent. Things may be beginning to change….

After last week’s breakout performance against Jacksonville, Terrell Owens enjoyed the lauds he was accustomed to before coming to Buffalo.

Terrell Owens has been called “a clown” on national television and rendered nearly irrelevant as part of an anemic offense. So when the Bills receiver stopped after making a catch in practice last month and spoke, it seemed like more of a joke than a vow.”I’m bound to have a breakout game one of these days,” Owens said, with a wink to a group of reporters standing within earshot along the sideline.

Turns out, he was serious. And correct.

All that was missing was an “I told you so,”

Then Owens backed up his performance with another solid game against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday (five receptions for 96 yards and a TD), and FINALLY criticized the coach…the old coach that is.

From NBCSports:

And all Terrell Owens could wonder after he helped seal the rout with a 51-yard touchdown catch was what might have been if Bills owner Ralph Wilson had fired Dick Jauron a few games earlier.

“Well, he’s two weeks too late,” Owens said, crediting Fewell who took over when Jauron was fired Nov. 17. “I’ve been wanting to be aggressive all year.”

Oh, and as for that loud personality? T.O.’s new Bufallo-inspired clothing venture says it’s back.
