Todd Archer E-mail News tips
Terrell Owens wants the ball. So do Roy Williams and Patrick Crayton. And Jason Witten. And Marion Barber. They all want the ball.
That's the world Tony Romo - and any quarterback really - lives in. He has to hear it from all of them. They were open. He missed him. A few weeks ago, Romo said his response to those calls are, "OK," and then he shrugged. It's not that he's blowing anybody off. It's that he knows he can't make everybody happy all of the time.
But let's stick with the Owens part of the equation because he's at the center of it. He's always at the center of it.
Here's a question - how would it help Tony Romo to not get Owens the ball? In what universe would it serve him well? Would Romo really think, 'I'm going to ignore a guy who can get the ball in the end zone better than any guy I have out there?'
Really?
No quarterback and wide receiver have hooked up for more touchdowns since 2006 (33) than Romo and Owens. Owens has 186 catches for 2,928 yards from Romo. That's pretty good, if you asked me. Witten has 201 catches for 2,391 yards and 11 scores. That's pretty good too.
Is Romo perfect? No. Does he make the right read all of the time? No. Does he make some poor decision? Yes. Did he have a bad game vs. Pittsburgh? Yes. Did he accept responsibility? Yes.
Have we ever heard Owens take responsibility for anything?
