"Dan Reeves was quoted several times saying there were huge differences in opinions amongst almost everyone in VR. I highly doubt that translates to Jason Garrett didn't like Owens but everyone else in the entire organization loved and admired this consummate team player."No, Dan Reeves did not say 'huge differences' and Dan Reeves himself stated that they never talked personnel when he actually was there. Dan Reeves further never spoke with any of the players and his time there was with the oiffensive coaching staff. He was there two days and as he clearly stated, he was primarily talking game-film. He further went on to say that looking at the film it was quite clear the impact TO had on the game, not just the overall offense bu the running game as well. One more time: The idea that Dan Reeves had full access to the discussions going on in Valley Ranch about how TO needs to go is absurd. Like I said, Your making assertions not supported by evidence. Your taking whatever evidence you deem fits your opinion and exxaggerating it taking it out fo context. "Furthermore, TO himself has said he falls asleep in meetings and is late to them constantly. He has been a constant challenge to authority his entire career, inciting players to take sides against coaches and management. What coach isn't just dying to have a player like that in their locker? and evidence on definitely not Wade? Blowing smoke in a PC doesn't count."Emitt Smith also fell asleep in meeting. And you also have Calvin Hill saying TO is the hardest worker he has ever met and everybody that comes across TO say that he gives it all when he practices. Just because TO admitted to occasionally falling asleep in meetings doesn't negate the fact that he takes his job seriously. It is called exxagerating a statement of TO and applying it as if this is a habit he always falls into. His hard-work is testified to by all, not just Wade Phillips. Like I said, your trying to fit round objects in a square hole. Fom TO Homer Sam Hurd"Iknow it takes a lot of pressure off Tony Romo. A guy like Owens demands the ball and you want to get him the ball. Now Romo can look at all of us and see which one is open on any given play."And how is that castigating TO? Roy Williams has also relished the fact that he is not the number one, but he also stated that he wished TO was here and Dallas could get that 1-2 duo that would give defenses nightmares. Sam Hurd is obviously going to say that the loss of TO gives them an oppurtunity to step-up. Do you want him to say the ship[ is now sinking and I'm a WR that has to step-up but I can't? Did you not pay attention to the words used by Sam Hurd?'AND YOU WANT TO GET HIM THE BALL"... Hurd is saying TO is a type of receiver you want to get the ball to. Murther, Michael Irvin also demanded the ball. Steve Smith also demanded the ball."Again, Hurd said there were although he was quick to backpeddle off that statement. Ware said there was a definite need to refocus the locker, as did Ratliff IiRS."And Ware and Ratliff clearly stated that none of the problems were a result of TO. Both of them stated clearly that they wanted TO here and all of them expressed shock that he was gone. Further, Barber is a running back and if anything, the loss of TO, per the anti-TO crowd is that he takes away from the running game. WOuI'd think that Barber wouldn't be so vehement in his wanting TO to stay, considering it would mean he would allegedly touch the ball more. Hell, the guy even said he wanted to go to Jerry prior to TOs release to give his views on it."No one is going to come out and publicly rip on Owens - why is that so hard to understand? But I think it is interesting that no one on the offense who is not a WR has said a word (other than Barber, who was part of the TO posse)."SO pretty much your whoel argument is based upon assertions? Why wouldn't they rip Owens? Didn't Roy Williams come out and rip Garrett on several occasions? Didn't Romo even come out and rip Garrett after the season-ending loss? Even when questioned about it 2 months later, he never denied that he didn't rip Garrett. So all the evidence that counters your assertions that TO wasn't that bad of a guy is there, you say that it isn't worthy because nobody is going to 'rip him'. Wow..."The same Darren Woodson who has been calling for TO to be booted since the day he put on a Cowboy's helmet? What, did he change his mind?"Like I said,m come back to me when you get real proof not wild assertions that everybody wanted him gone, from Romo to Witten to Wade Phillips. Again, why did Jerry just say he didn't even consult Romo when it came to TO?
