The Dallas Cowboys released a statement Friday night. It is a "quote" from Wade Phillips about the release of Terrell Owens: "I enjoyed having the opportunity to coach Terrell Owens, and I appreciate his contributions to our team over the past two years. In our time together, I saw one of the more productive and explosive players in the NFL at the receiver position. I think that when his playing days come to an end he will have compiled a career that is worthy of the Hall of Fame. "We're now ready to move on and this decision will open the door for other younger players on our team to step up. That process will begin here in a few weeks with the start of the off-season program." It kind of makes you wonder, especially the first part, why the heck they're getting rid of such a great player. 3 CommentsLeave a comment |

Problem isn't OWENS but Wade Phillips and JAson Garrett. Love him or hate him TO is an important part of the Cowboys offense(i hate to admit that). Romo is ONLY where he is today because of Owens..
The days of Jason Witten(Romo's fav target) running wide open down field like he is use too are over! and the running game will suffer because there is no longer a big passing threat. The whole offense will be different now. Way to go Jerry!!
The issue isn't with Owens but with the coaching staff. It's simple, IF the cowboys win Owens shuts up- Cowboys lose and then there are issues. Terrell is just a competitor and hates losing. IF Coach Phillips had any leadership or people skills he would have stepped in and handled Owens(just like Parcells did). We all knew what we are getting when we brought Owens to the team and Jerry just needs to deal with that.. if Wade Phillips can't handle him, bring in a coach that can. I think it's weak character on Jerry Jone's to just give up and let Owens win.. especially after he had such a big bonus last year$$. If Owens was causing trouble in the locker room, suspend him for a game.. Nobody seemed to step in and discipline TO.
The problem is the cream puff head coach, definitely the predictable play calling of offensive cord Jason Garrett.. and perhaps the QB.. and we will finally realize exactly the type of QB Tony Romo is now--- a very talented 2nd string Quarterback but a leader he is not.
See if we can get waivers on Jenny Jones
Isn't it at least Possible that TO is a genius?
I've longe believed that, especially illustrated by the way he was able to so perfectly imitate an Olympic runner once in the end zone after a TD. As they say in Australia, he was "spot on."
If I'm correct, shouldn't we be Facilitating such intelligence, rather than trying to make just another gear in complicated machine?
