How T.O. helps us even before he plays a down

[elltrain22]

1. Ya know we're gonna get 2-3 more prime time games.
2. He is like another coach to our young WR's
3. He is gonna bring in alotta $$$$$ for this team w/ his jersey sales, etc...
4. Other non-signed FA's might be more inclined to sign now b/c we're a legit playoff contender.
5. He has put us back on the map. People actually are talking about this team.

I was actually thinking about how much James Hardy could benefit from this move.

Me too. Hopefully he can show him how to use his body to shield the ball from the defender and create space to make the catch.

Sorry but TO alone doesn't make us a legit playoff contender. DE, LB and the interior of the OL need serious help before playoffs are even a remote possibility.

^a good offense can offset these flaws. i.e indy, arizona, just to name a few

I doubt you get 2-3 MORE prime time games. Maybe 2-3 total

Are you ready to compare your O to Indy and Arizona?

Edwards to Manning and Warner?

I honestly hope not

Hopefully AFN will show a bunch this year! Last year they showed the **** out of Favre and the jackass Jets...

I agree with all of them except #1 also.

We'll get our usual one Monday nighter and one Sunday nighter.

Re: How T.O. helps us even before he plays a down

to play devils advocate

1. Ya know we're gonna get 2-3 more prime time games..

we don't do well in primtetime games. we almost beat the cowboys with TO playing in a primetime game but blew it.

.
2. He is like another coach to our young WR's.

who has he mentored?

3. He is gonna bring in alotta $$$$$ for this team w/ his jersey sales, etc....

a lot of media attention. I'm not buying a TO jersey.

4. Other non-signed FA's might be more inclined to sign now b/c we're a legit playoff contender.....

only desperate FA's like TO that are unwanted . PLayoff contender? Lets win 1 division game first before we talk playoffs.

5. He has put us back on the map. People actually are talking about this team.

He brought both negative and postive talk to any team he's been with.

Some FA may not sign here because of TO too

He's been known to stay after practice and help younger receivers. It seems the press makes him out to be a bigger problem in the locker room than he really is.

It's too simple to just call T.O. a rat and move on down the road. I've tried that approach, but I think he actually has some admirable qualities. Besides being a future Hall of Famer, he's done a lot of things for his teammates that never get mentioned. When a teammate was released or had a death in the family, the first text message he received was often from T.O.

His best friends on the team have always been the guys at the bottom of the roster. When he was out with an injury during the 2006 training camp, he stayed after practice for an hour each day and worked with free agent rookie wide receiver Sam Hurd. The two became very close and T.O. had similar relationships with guys on the practice squad.

Re: How T.O. helps us even before he plays a down

I have a tremendous amount of respect for TO and believe he made some mistakes when he was younger that the Media has turned into a long term problem that really isn't there. There is no one in the league that works harder and no one that wants to win more. The guy has some talk but he backs it up with his work ethic and play on the field. Believe it or not TO is a team player who is absolutely driven to work his ass off and play the best football he can week in and week out. That's what he does and this team can use someone who will call out the rest of the team to put up or shut up. The only thing I am wondering about TO is if he'll play some hockey in the next few weeks.
