Simon Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 after the fumble, Drew patted Johnson on the back, and said, something to the effect of, "Hey, you gotta hold on to that ball..." Not cool and Drew should know better. Keyshawn is well aware he should have held on to the ball and didn't need to hear about it from somebody else, particularly on the sideline when he was already pissed off about it. Not excusing Meshawn's reaction as the guy is apparently a tool and should have swallowed his tongue and then told Bledsoe about it later in private. But if Drew felt the need to say something to a teammate who had just made a mistake in a game they were winning handily, the most that shold have come out of his mouth was "Shake it off Key. No worries man, we got these guys in the barn door". Additionaly, Keyshawn doesn't strike me as the forgive and forget type, and nobody should be surprised to see this resurface later in the season. At some point Drew is going to make a big mistake like all QB's do and I have no difficulty imagining Keyshawn giving it right back to him on the sidelines afterwards. This could become really entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1billsfan Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 According to the media here, in Cowboys country, after the fumble, Drew patted Johnson on the back, and said, something to the effect of, "Hey, you gotta hold on to that ball..." I think it was Drews' way of trying to show leadership. Meshawn didn't take to it kindly, and said something back, to the effect of "I don't say anything when you throw a bad pass...." Then Johnson kind of lunged at Bledsoe. The receivers coach, and Parcells had to step in to break it up. Bledsoe had a similar, but less publicized run in last week, with Jason Witten, the tight end. In that case, Witten was upset because he felt he was getting open, a lot, but Drew wasn't passing it to him. However you feel about Drew, he is proving that he was nowhere near as washed up as the Bills thought he was. I know, he may fade again, but he is throwing some great passes right now. Very similar to the level he was playing at when he came to Buffalo in 2002. 471410[/snapback] If Drew feels comfortable in the pocket there's always a good chance he'll have a great day. I'm still scratching my head why the Eagles didn't blitz Bledsoe in this game. Bledsoe needs Fort Knox-like protection hence the reason he was shown the door at OBD. Will teams continue to not blitz Bledsoe? Me thinks not. Dallas is doomed with El Statue at the helm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could become really entertaining. 471713[/snapback] keyshawn is a tool, and that explains 99% of it. don't ever forget the lies he wrote in his opus (which i saw on sale for $1.50 from a street vendor on 40th street on friday, by the way) about neil o'donnell faking an injury at the end of his rookie season. also, don't forget that gruden -- an excellent coach -- did something that i can't recall anyone else doing: kicking a moderately productive starter off of the team midway through the season. the league is filled with miscreants, and since gruden is a sharp guy, i figure he must have done it for a reason. johnson is bad, bad news. as for drew, has he been congratulated yet for getting pissed off when the team is way ahead? he wanted to stick the knife in deeper, which is representative of an attitude i always thought he lacked.

Teams are going to remember 'wait, this is bledsoe...blitz blitz blitz' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdubs Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Keyshawn is probably the 1 guy in football I can't stand. That dude needs to sit down and shut the hell up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
