Broncos: Rod comments on T.O.
The News
Several Broncos have alluded to the veteran presence of leaders like Rod Smith as evidence that Denver can handle Terrell Owens, but in his first public discussion about the situation, Smith downplayed that notion. "One person can't influence a grown man," Smith told the Denver Post. "You just can't expect one person to have that type of control or influence on a person. I'm for anything that helps the team, and if that would help the team, I'd be for it. I wouldn't have a problem with it."
Our View
Finally, a voice of reason. Owens couldn't be handled by the Eagles, one of the most professional organizations in the NFL, so Smith is correct to point out that if Owens wants to cause trouble, he will. It simply comes down to whether T.O.'s elite talent outweighs the risk of his attitude.
