We Cowboy fans frequently discuss which player's loss would injury the Cowboys the most. The 5 players most frequently discussed include: TO, Romo, Witten, Newman & Ware. Frankly I'd have TO & Romo in a tie. We gotta have both. But ESPN's pick of TO points out the obvious weakness in our offense TO. It's not that he's just an elite WR, it's also because we've not nothing much in the way of WRs behind him. Yes, Witten is a top TE & Crayton is a pretty good #3, but if TO goes down we've got no #1, #2 or any other viable WR who can even began to get the job done. Our passing attack grinds to a halt because Romo would have to resort to dink and dunk 5 yard passes and invariably we get too many offensive penalties to score too often. Austin must step it up and show he's got the ability to really help our passing game, etc. Now if Glenn can give us 1 more year that would be a big help but Glenn can't carry the load if TO unable to play.
According to ESPN's Chadihi,
Owens is the #3 most indispensable player in the league behind Tom Brady and Peyton Manning. Just a few years ago he was one of the most hated players in the league, ostracized by the media and it was widely publicized that the Eagles would be a much better team without him. As BTB regular doomsday would say, the transformation is complete. After years of being thought of as a locker room cancer it has become painfully obvious how critical he is to the Cowboys' success. If he was healthy at the end of the year in 2007 who knows how things might have gone in January.
Chadiha says that without Owens life gets a whole lot tougher for Romo and Co.

Terrell Owens, WR, Dallas
Say what you will about T.O. and his controversial history, but you have to admit this much: He's the key to that high-powered offense in Dallas. We saw that much when a high ankle sprain made him ineffective in an NFC divisional playoff loss to the New York Giants. When Owens is healthy, he makes life easier on tight end Jason Witten, wide receiver Patrick Crayton and quarterback Tony Romo. When he's off the field, the Cowboys' passing game isn't nearly as scary ... and neither is the rest of that team.
