This isn't another "OMG TO GOT CUT" thread. I'm for real talking about MOVING ON.
I think that everyone is forgetting all of the drama that TO brought to our locker room. I can remember a handful of months ago that we were all sick of the **** that went on. T.O. had EIGHT games (half the regular season) with less than 50 yards.
Don't get me wrong. I like T.O. He grew on me. I was totally against us signing him, but over the past couple of years I have enjoyed watching him play in a Cowboys uniform. The simple fact is, we can't afford to have a player that we love one day a week, and hate the other six.
I think that this cut makes an enormous statement to the entirety of the NFL and its fans. I am still a bit mixed on this whole idea, I've got part of me that loves watching the 40+ yard bombs between Romo and T.O., but to be totally honest, those are fairly few and far between as of this past year. The other part of me understands that there is probably a whole mess of stuff that has been quietly shoved under the rug that we don't even know about that JJ and the front office finally decided needed to be rectified.
In my opionion, if Crayton can speed up a little bit in the offseason (which I think he will, I have a feeling T.O. was holding him back [why push yourself when JJ is on his knees in front of T.O. and your HC doesn't have the balls to do anything except give JJ reacharounds?]), remember how to catch those clutch balls, and RW11 steps up to the plate and studies our playbook, we will be better off without T.O. RW11 will be big this year.
If we can manage to get ourselves a replacement at LG and a big fatty FB, I don't see why we can't just run other teams into the ground, and when they stack 8 in the box, sling it out to Witten, RW11, AUSTIN (hugely underrated, I see huge potential in this guy), and Crayton.
Why do we have to be a passing team? Why can't we be a nasty running team with immovable lines on both sides of the ball? That's OBVIOUSLY what wins championships more often than not. Please reminisce with me to the 1991-1995 Cowboys. Our line was ridiculous, and we jammed the ball down the other teams throat until they were ready to puke, and when they were throwing up, we hit them deep down the field.
Just thoughts going forward from here.
