Deion Sanders says we go 6-10 if we cut Terrell Owens

Valentines Day is just around the corner. How convenient is that?

:laugh1:

 

[Hostile]

Damn Hos i love you.


T.O. is just too much baggage in the locker room.

This team needs a low key approach. People in the locker room will soon get tired of this circus. With T.O. they are constantly in the media spotlight.

I promise not to show this post to my wife.

:laugh2:

This guy is such a clown and a joke. How can anyone take what he says seriously?

Let's all hope and pray this idiot decides to be inducted into the HOF as a 49er. Don't want his a** going in as a Dallas Cowboy.

Players have zero say on which of their former clubs they will be enshrined with and players's Hall of Fame biographies identify all clubs which someone played for. However, the Hall will CAPITALIZE the name of the team which they will determine was impacted most by the player being enshrined.

 

[sonnyboy]

I wouldn't, but it isn't my choice. I don't see how the coaching staff can change the attitude in the locker room if the biggest malcontent on the team is back.

Come on Hos. Do you really believe this?

I'm as upset as anyone we finish 9-7, but how can you believe cutting one of our best players improves us?

This management team (owner/gm/coaching staff) needs to change a few things without a doubt.

We need to practice harder, we need more discipline and of course we need to play more as a team.

This has to start with the MANAGEMENT TEAM. They have to do it.

If they can't do it with Owens, they won't pull it off without him.

If you want to tell me we need a new coaching staff, OK.

If you think Jerry needs to take a couple steps back and hire a GM, fine.


I just can't get my hands around this release Owens and all is well in the Cowboyland idea.

If Terrel Owens is that powerful a force. Then we need to find a way to control it, channel it. Maybe the Cowboys can end famine or cure cancer.

i guess that will be a tough decision because he destroyed all 3 teams he played for.

In my opinion, the Pro Football Hall of Fame Board of Selectors will hang that distinction on San Francisco where he spent the majority of his career amassing the lion's share of his receiving yards and touchdowns. I doubt they would change that distinction even if he had helped win a Super Bowl with the Eagles or possibly help Dallas accomplish that feat.

So if they cut T.O. then they don't have enough to win football games?

The point is that he's one player and one player doesn't win a football game, but one player can divide a locker room and create turmoil with his fat mouth.

If the locker isn't divided we have a better shot at being a more 'in tune' team.

If the locker room isn't distracted by having extra 'team meetings' then they can focus more on their opponents.

It's like some people are so afraid that this team is going to be 0-16 if we lose him.

Here's some info people.

He could step out there on the field in August and blow his knee out.

Then what?

The decision has to be weighed on whether or not his production is worth his BS. That's a very tough decision because he is still a very good player.

But again, one player being here or not being here isn't going to determine whether this team wins of loses football games.

And if you want to list in order the 'positions' that can even be discussed as being the most important in giving the team a better chance of winning or losing football games the WR position doesn't even get in the top three.

1. QB - There isn't even a question.
2. LT - If he stinks the QB will stink.
3. CB/Pass rush OLB - If these two spots are horrible you can forget about stopping anyone.

If the #1 WR goes down there are still other guys on offense to catch the football. And if I remember correctly we are paying another WR on this roster '#1 WR money'.

Add in the fact that we have three very good RB's, a solid #3 WR and an All World TE you can't possibly think there aren't enough weapons for Romo.

Do you think T.O. will be back to the Cowboys?

Adam Schefter, NFL Network




At first I thought the Cowboys couldn't afford to cut T.O. and eat $9.675 million against the salary cap. But after talking to some people in Dallas, I now think the opposite. I think the Cowboys have their mouths open wide and are about to dig in. I think T.O. is going to be sent packing. It's a bold move. He still caught 10 touchdowns last year. But they really believe his minuses outweigh his plusses, which is why I think he's a goner.

Very. Very. Very. Very.

Interesting.

Now we wait for the TFC (i am sick of writing out T.O. Fan Club, lol) to come on by and bash the media because they lie and make stuff up.

They are going to want Schefter to post his 'phone records', or better yet the actual audio of the conversations he had with the people in Dallas before they give this any merit.

They then will just say 'who cares what anyone says, Jerry Jones didn't say it did he?'.

:laugh2:

 

[Jon88]

I really hope so. He should have NEVER been brought in. Let's start doing things on principle, Jerry. He trashed our team even before he got here.

 

[punchnjudy]

I could see that happening if some of the reports we're hearing are true. If TO has truly divided the lockerroom, that won't end if he's cut. Philly fell apart the year after they cut TO, and a lot of people said their lockerroom was still split after he left because many of his teammates still felt he was right, or something to that effect. I could see that happening here, especially if the team started to struggle.

If it were me, I'd do what Irvin suggested - bring him back but make it clear that if he whines, and especilially if he whines publicly, he's cut. Then if he were cut, at least more guys in the lockerroom would feel like he got a fair shot, and it wouldn't bring the same backlash from the players.

So legit! Shefter is my boy! He always knows whats up..he basically punk'd Mort with that "shanahan to Kansas City" report. If he talked to "some people in Dallas" that made him change his decision then it must be from high sources. I doubt he just asked random fans from Dallas and said "okay I change my mind now because John Doe said he won't be back" He must have heard something VERY persuasive...like from a Stephen Jones perhaps???

I'd be shocked if TO leaving created any kind of rift that lasts after he's gone. I'm not entirely sure he's to blame, but if he's the instigator, with him out things will go back to normal quickly.

This would so make my day.

I don't necessarily think it is the right decision to cut TO, but I definitely do NOT think it will divide our locker room if we do.

It's already divided. You gotta start the healing process sometime.

How much of a process is it, really, when the person whispering the poison isn't around to poison anything? I don't think there'd be much of a rift now if we'd managed to make a play or two in the PIT or BAL games at the end of the year.

It would depend on how deep the divide is. The rumors of racism are disturbing. If that is true then it could take a while. I really hope that's BS.
