Lombardi says Dallas having "serious internal discussions" about releasing Owens

[DallasEast]

Chad Pennington was throwing to Ted Ginn, Greg Camarillo, Davone Bess and Anthony Fasano. He threw for 3,700 yards and had one of the best YPA in the league.

You don't think that Romo, Williams, Crayton, Austin and Witten could be that effective, if not better?

If you eliminate Terrell Owens from the equation, it would automatically mean that the team's offense would regress into being the league's worst. FYI.

if we get rid of Owens, we can turn into a ball-control offense, and still have big-play capabilities in the passing game

we have Romo at QB, a stud-#1 WR in Roy, and don't forget the speed of Austin to still make some big plays in the passing game

an offense that can pound it down your throat AND break your back with the long ball, will be a very hard one to defend



all depends if Garrett is willing to change his philosophy

We can be ball-controll, even if we keep Owens. As you have pointed out, it is on Garrett to change his philosophy, which means it has nothing to do with Owens. One more thing: People act is we have a replacement for Owens, but guess what? That replacement, first of all, isn't Owens, and that replacement doesn't like Garrett either...

Weird how the philosophy was so effective in 2007, yet needs to be jettisoned now. JG must have changed is philosophy last offseason to include converting less often and turning the ball over more. That's the only think I can think of. He's so stupid.

What works one year doesn't mean it works the next. Coaches and players watch tape. They study your stengths and weakness. That's why coaches tweek their schemes.

Yeah, if the team had a quality offensive coordinator.

Additionally, I have a strong hunch that offense will regress to an astronomical degree next season. They're not built for long-term success.

Yeah, but there's a difference between adjustments and tweaks and a team's entire offensive philosophy. The systems themselves rarely change, and this one has proven to be effective. The problem comes in when you don't convert like you used to, or when you turn the ball over and give teams extra chances to beat you and put yourself in a higher number of low-probability game situations. That's execution, not offensive philosophy.

For reference sake, define "astronomical degree"?

We'll regress from the Jupiter-ranked offense to the Saturn-ranked offense.

Duh.

 

[theogt]

Not to mention the stable of Running Backs we have and Martellus Bennett.

Its all about the Offensive Scheme and the players playing as one unit instead of several units.

It's all about not having an idiot as a coordinator.

They also had Sparano calling the offense. We seemed to be pretty good when he assisted with our offense also. Yeah, T.O. has GOT to be the problem!

Why couldn't they do it this year? You take the one guy who commands double teams away, and you expect this group to suddenly catch lightning in a bottle?

OL injuries IMO. biggest factor into our offensive woes.

Well, that is a Jerry Jones problem. He didn't sign any depth, and has overpaid some lazy starters.

FYI...........thats just ignorant

Romo, Witten, Barber, F. Jones, RW11, Austin,Choice, Bennett........worst?

i don't disagree, but i don't think owens leaving (not that i'm in favor of it) would make this offense as bad as it was this year because the OL injuries were a bigger contributing factor to romo's injuries, being rushed and some of his turnovers.

Maybe I should've added the at the end..?

Re-read the thread and I believe my reply will become clearer.

With or without Owens, injuries will always play a major role in a team's (and coach's) success or failure. The injuries to the OL also had a definate impact on the running game, which inturn, also had an impact on Tony Romo.

If Owens stay, ok. If he leaves, ok. :starspin

That's how I see it too!

You got to do what you got to do?

Well, technically they did do that this year.

That's quite an overstatement, fyi.
