Concerning Owens, I don't buy that the system is what is messing with him. He's been abused in every way possible. Man coverage, zone coverage, you name it. Unless he has some sort of other-worldly ability to just keep receivers from getting up field with his press, he's going to continue to get burned.

Concerning Houston. People are really over rating his play with the Lions. A few picks that land in his hands and a few nice plays, which he made while he was here every now and then, and now people think he's turned into a Pro Bowler. He's improved, but he hasn't just pulled a complete 180 after leaving us. He's been burned plenty of times.

Anyway, in the real world, Svitek is the current starter at LT.
