Two days ago, Jerry Jones and The Dallas Cowboys made a horrible decision in my mind. As a long time Dallas Cowboys fan, I thought the release of Terrell Owens was a bad decision.
I'll admit, when he was in San Francisco and Philadelphia, I was not a fan of T.O. But when he was suspended, I knew he was going to eventually disagree and I must have told anyone that would listen that when he gets released, Dallas needs to sign him. I was picturing T.O. and Terry Glenn on the outside and Keyshawn Johnson in the slot. Jerry Jones went left on me and released Keyshawn before signing T.O.
Since Terrell Owens signed to the Cowboys in March 2006, I had to easily be one of his biggest supporters. The man scored 38 touchdowns in 47 games with Dallas. According to NFL.com, that's one more than Randy Moss during that timeframe.
I like Roy Williams, always have. I became a fan when he was playing at the University of Texas. But I don't think I was ready for him to be the #1 receiver for Dallas. I wanted Roy and T.O. to have a full year together and thought I was getting that. Jerry Jones once again when left on me and released my Favorite receiver two days ago (3/5/09).
I think T.O.'s influence on the field will be missed. This was a guy that drew consistent double and triple team coverage. That opened up things underneath for Jason Witten and Patrick Crayton. I'm afraid now everyone is going to bracket Witten and "DARE" Roy Williams to beat them.
Anyway, what is done is done. T.O. is gone. The guy the media swears is a distraction is drawing support from his some of his former Dallas Cowboy Teammates. He's a Buffalo Bill now. While they won't win a Super Bowl, I do think that T.O. can help them make the playoffs. He could make Lee Evans better by giving sound advice and taking pressure off of him as well.
Good Luck T.O. I can't believe Jerry Jones cut one of his central Marketing Pieces. From a marketing standpoint, it's all solely on Tony Romo.
Early Predictions for Terrell Owens in 2009 - 59 Catches, 917 Yards and 10 TDs.
Hopefully, he does better than this. Can't wait till the draft. My former down the street neighbor Jason Smith could be the 2nd player taken.
