Sniper Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Should we reunite the Ryan Fitzpatrick and Terrell Owens combo? After all they did look pretty good. Now Fitz is a better player in a better offense. Owens Story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddog69 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 (edited) I'd have no problem bringing TO back. He's not a superstar anymore but I think he realizes that. He seemed to have a good rapport with Fitz. And I could proudly wear my T.O. throwback jersey again Edited October 19, 2011 by Maddog69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Okay we sign him. Then what happens in 2 weeks when Donald Jones is back? PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandemonium Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I think it would be a good move with all the injuries we have at WR and the 4 wide sets that we run. Stevie, TO, Nelson, and Jones when he comes back would be a lot for other teams to handle all on the field at the same time. It would also allow Spiller to go back to RB and keep Ruevell Martin off the field except for special teams. Who would we cut to make the roster spot though? I hope not Namaan. With McGee back and Aaron Williams hopefully coming back soon we could probably sneak Wheatley back on the practice squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U could probably tell the world u r cutting him, and still hear crickets in the background. He isn't a prize possesion. Not saying he couldn't be good, just saying he hasn't turned any heads and was released already and the bills were the only ones 2 bite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clearwater cadet Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I think you only sign him if you think your team is a legit contender, and really only chan and buddy know that. If the bills feel they are legit, for a team that runs 4 and 5 receiver, set he would be at least better then your current then your 4th or 5th. If they don't feel like the team is legit then why bother, he will be gone next year and only ruin your draft order. Personally I feel thay are a good team, and they need another wide out with all the injuries they have. I don't think they would have traded Evans if they knew they were going to loss Roscoe and Easily for the year, and have Jones sidelined for 4-6 weeks.

Are you really interpreting my use of the word sneak as if I meant it would take some covert operation to get him back to the practice squad, or was that a poor attempt at humor? I was simply acknowledging that any time you cut a player you would like to keep, there is some element of risk involved. I also acknowledged that it would be unlikely for him to get picked up by saying that we could probably get him back on the practice squad.

If we sign anyone it should be a defensive player. PTR +100000 Noooooooo!!!!!!! Drop this idea like the majority of passes that hit T.O.'s hands. Nooooooo!!! And just think of Ruvell Martin as ST not WR. Chan gave him a chance to catch passes. He couldn't. He hasn't been out in offense since and he is doing a good job on STs. Special teams is important and Martin is playing well there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AReed Deep For 7 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Here is an outside the box idea. Sign him if for nothing more to teach our young guys the game in depth when needed. Him and StevieJ are buddies to this day and Stevie gives him alot of credit for what he learned from the vet guy, he had a good run with Fitz, was very classy when he left the organization. As long as he is clear on his role with the football team before he comes on board. What do you all think? Cheap signing too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniper Posted October 19, 2011 Author Share Posted October 19, 2011 Terrence Wheatley would be the one cut with McGee and Williams coming back. Ruvell Martin is here to cover kicks. SIgning TO makes it so he is only here to cover kicks. And to the poster who asked, Marin is TERRIBLE on offense, he is actually a really good teams player though.

TDs are better than ST tackles. Any schmuck can play ST. Give me a HOF WR over a ST tackler any day. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrojanitor Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 i wouldn't be against it. He can stretch the field..probably get a couple defenders out of traffic. Would allow Fitz a little more room to make those short slant passes he's so successful with. A couple times a game we could probably expect a pretty huge gain if he only has to deal with man coverage. I could see TO being a difference maker in at least a couple games. If the price is right why not? But then if Buddy didn't go after him I don't think it would torpedo the season or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont Stop BILL-ievin' Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Mixed emotions on this one. I like TO and he behaved when he was here.

Now Fitz is a better player in a better offense. Owens Story No ... TO was classy when he played in Buffalo and i give him a ton of credit for it. However, a return is likely to be too much of a media circus. Besides he has hands of stone and is not the receiver he once was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8-8 Forever? Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Okay we sign him. Then what happens in 2 weeks when Donald Jones is back? PTR Agreed. This is not fantasy football guys. We are fine at WR, a little short right this second, but Gailey just schemes around it. This is the guy's genius, let him do his thing. We two weeks to prepare, the Redskins will not know what hit them. I am really looking forward to seeing the new wrinkles that I have to believe will come from a Chan Gailey bye week.

Steve exploded the year after TO left, and something clearly changed in his game. If that was instruction from TO, then even more the reason to bring him on board to help win games and help the younger guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marauderswr80 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 (edited) Im a little torn on this.... Yes id take T.O. Back....he would be a nice fit! On the other hand having spiller and jackson on the field together is great! I truely do feel that spiller at wr would be a better fit then T.O. At this point.... And to be honest.....i think we are ok with who we have now! We are 4 and 2...and only 2 losses by 3 pts.... We are in good shape! Just need to get healthy is all.

PDaDdy Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 It's already been said but if he is better than what we have, why not sign him? I know the idea is get better through the draft. Low cost contracts is a side effect of that approach but there is more than one way to get better without breaking the bank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwmann2 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I really can't stand TO. Outstanding player but he's the reason the Bengals chemistry was completely ruined last season. So glad he and Chad are gone. And to think that he is going to be able to come in and play immediately is a joke. Rosenhaus is full of it and just wants a paycheck, TO is going to command veteran money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 It has been, what, a week since someone started a "how about TO?" thread. The big news that he is "cleared" to play part of a season for yet another team made this latest posting inevitable, I guess. The best thing TO did for Stevie was to leave Buffalo. If you want tyo bring him in to "teach" the WRs, make him a WR coach and pay him accordingly. Otherswise accept that he is the last thing a serious team needs on their roster.

BillsObserver Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I'd rather wait until the Pats cut Ochocinco next year and give him a shot as opposed to a guy coming off a serious injury.
