T.O. stands by Cowboys criticism

Terrell Owens wasn't backing down Friday after an NFL Network interview aired Thursday in which he said his offensive numbers are not to his liking because of the Cowboys' system. In fact, Owens told reporters Friday to watch for more segments of the interview with former Cowboy Deion Sanders on Sunday morning. Owens said he's not saying anything he hasn't expressed in the past. When pressed about his problems with the offense, Owens said it lacks flexibility and that defenses have caught up to coordinator Jason Garrett's scheme. Owens said the Cowboys have not made the necessary adjustments to combat what teams are doing to stop him. Garrett wasn't available for comment following Friday's practice. The other teams Owens has played for - San Francisco and Philadelphia - employed the West Coast offense, which calls for quick, precisely timed passes. The Cowboys use a different system. Dallas runs a variation of what the 1990s Cowboys teams ran, with an emphasis on the intermediate passing game.

There is no system that works if you cannot keep your Quarterback clean in the pocket. That is the big difference from last year. Sporano is the missing piece.

November 22, 2008  09:30 AM ET

There is no good way to spin this. Yet we'll still see Cowboy fans come on here and defend him...

November 22, 2008  09:34 AM ET

At season's end, when Wade Phillips get kicked out the door, Jason Garrett is expected to become the new head coach. Jerry Jones is going to have to make a decision: Garrett or Owens.

And .... I stand by T.O. criticism!

I'd start mouthing off to the media about Romo if I were TO. Start calling out your fellow players and coaches for not being good enough, or trying hard enough. Just make sure it make it to the press so it will motivate them to play at a higher level. This will also get you the ball more, Superstar.

Do us a favor! Find that button on the left side of your keyboard that says "Caps Lock" and gently press it once!! We get it! You're p*ssed off! We can hear your screaming all the way in Chicago!

No-one reads- desperate to be heard "caps lock peoples" comments.

November 22, 2008  10:16 AM ET

T.O. sounds like a lonely man. Get some dude. You can afford it.

Agreed. I skipped it too.

November 22, 2008  10:18 AM ET

Yes, turn of the caps. It rude and symbolizes yelling and/or anger. It harder to read and I didn't even bother to do so. Some people.

 
November 22, 2008  10:21 AM ET

I like T.O. because he is a decent receiver, but he needs to shut up. If I were Jerry I would trade Ocho Uno for Ocho Cinco.
