I think this is great news....... man I think he would have burnt our CBs badly in the first quarter till they took him out........

i am just wondering how long until this turns into philly number 2. will parcells walk away when he is told by jones to play owens regardless of how he feels. will it turn into a media circus before the season even starts. i heard on espn news or sports center that owens missed another practice after making 5 in a row. will anyone sign t.o. after he messes this up in dallas. i hope someone deos. this is just great fun. the guy is a livining soap opera. what is the record for the amount of teams destroyed by one player. t.o. is already at 2. this will be his third. will there be a fourth. this season will be fun just to watch him start his act again. screw t.o. on the feild he is more fun when he starts his non-sense

Might as well get tested now. Heck, they have to play the Colts next week.

As much as I loathe this discussion, I'd rather face him and see where we are than not face him and get a false sense of accomplishment.

I think Parcells and Jones are gonna be on the same page when it comes to Owens behavior. I'm basing that on the fact that Jones was apparently also getting irritated with Owens not practicing and said something to the media about it.

I could be wrong about that, but I think Jones thinks more of Parcells than Owens. Who knows.

Why not??? Let the corners get tested, especially the rookies

And when Payton sees Craft sucks, he'll cut em

I'm with you on that one. It would be a good measurment for where our d-backfield are.

I still don't get why people think so highly about Owens' football skills.
When was the last time you saw a great catch by Owens?
When was the last time you saw a clutch catch by Owens?
When was the last time you saw Owens throw a great, no, a good, no, a block downfield on a running play?
What has any team he's played for actually won with him?

Owens is only good at running after the catch, because he's got speed.
I said it before and I'll say it again, he's not even the best receiver in his division, heck maybe not even in his team for that matter.

hey tobias i will tell you this, philly sure looks pretty good. everyone was counting them out and i am not. donovan looks good and he looks relaxed. it is only preseason and it really doesn't mean a whole lot at all but they look like they are ready to go. i hate the eagles but i really just don't like t.o. as a person. i think he has mental problems, seriously. i mean when he gets attention he smiles ear to ear. it is what is most important to him. anyone know how his book did. i haven't heard much about it so i don't know one way or the other.

The catch he made as a 49er where he was sandwiched in the endzone to win the game and put the 49ers in the playoffs is an example of your 1st 2 questions.

The Eagles going to the Super Bowl.

I hate him, but he's a pretty good WR.
