Mooch had nothing but good things to say about Owens

"What you know about T.O. is that when he comes to practice and when he comes to play, he gives you his all," Mariucci said. "That's what we asked and that's what we hope for from all of our players is that he gives you a full day's work, and he certainly does that."

I heard this morning on TWO national radio shows driving into work (Fox Sports Tony Bruno Show and ESPNs Mike & Mike) - both asked Mooch about Owens and he said what he remembered was lots of touchdowns and yards. He was positive about the whole thing and said when the niners let him go TO came into his office, gave him a big hug and they talked for a long time.

You have to believe that Mooch has given Jauron tips on how to try to limit TO's presence on the field.

Both Mariucci and Owens have a good amount of respect for each other as competitors, they may not like each other as people, but they respect each other's accomplishments and what they have done since their days in SF together.
