CodeMonkey Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 What make DJ such a "calming" influence on his players?? Maybe they will rally this week and get a little hope back. 1) TO has historically been a good boy his first season with a team. 2) Some think TO is calm because he knows his teammates are doing the best they can. And generally only yells at teammates when he thinks they can do better than they are. A little hope is always a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog69 Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Here's my take on T.O.: Generally, his onfield blowups and temper tantrums happen when his team is losing and he feels that if they got him the ball more, they could win. I think that after a few games on this team, he realizes that there isn't much even he can do to help. So he will be quietly frustrated. I think he regrets signing here, but I don't think he will have any blow ups. He has basically already checked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drinkTHEkoolaid Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 hes just a better behaved randy moss on the raiders... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmac17 Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 it's only 4 games into the season. BUT... He is really, really trying to change his image. Reality show, stupid ABC show, admission he wants to act etc. He knows that if he keeps his mouth shut this year he can get to a new team, and get ready for his future in hollywood.

Poeticlaw Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 What make DJ such a "calming" influence on his players?? Maybe they will rally this week and get a little hope back. DJ doesnt have him calm, TO's agent has him remaining calm. TO is only in a year deal and most likely wants to play next year and needs to proe to the other teams he can b a team player and say the right things by not throwing his players, coaches or team management under the bus.

The Guy Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 T.O. will play this season out. He then will sign with the Pats*, catch 300 passes for 100,000 yards and win 7 Superbowls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, but I think it's even more than that. Think about it. When has T.O. ever been in a situation quite like this before? Never. NEVER has he had to sit there and watch an entire TEAM implode on itself, and the fan base tear the OWNER a new one to such a degree that people are saying they don't care if the team DOES move to flipping Canada. No, being silent isn't at ALL difficult for T.O. right now, and it CERTAINLY can't be something that one actually CREDITS JAURON WITH. I mean, seriously, OP, you truly, honestly believe the stuff you opened this thread with??????? I find that hard to believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan68 Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I think he is just bewildered at how dysfunctional this organization and team is. He's probably angry but doesn't know who to yell at, first. He's just biding his time until he can get another team next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chalkie Gerzowski Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 the one year tenure in OP for Owens...that's going to rank as one of the most bizarre athlete-city combos for Buffalo sports. In 10-15 years it will provide some mighty fine fodder around the campfire... a string of jokes will be said... then someone will chime in with "remember when the Bills had Owens..." more chortle and spilled beer. Owens won't say anything...just biding his time and getting paychecks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfreak Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 You might be giving DJ a little too much credit with this, I would sooner think that his agent has more to do with it. If he acts up this year, his dream of another big contract will be down the drain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Seems like a lot of surprised people. Many of us knew he wouldn't "destroy the team." And if he did, who gives a freak? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't pat yourself on the back too much now, the season is only 25% over, still lots of time for him to implode, and it will happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 something has to be there...to be destroyed. His catch streak ended, and in 4 games, he has 8 catches for 158 yards and 1 TD. Since he's allegedly "all about the stats," you'd figure he would have blown up by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
