T.O. interview **Merged**

[Cas2800]

All year, in pcs, when Bill is asked how 'the player' is doing, he has answered "all right".

Not once has he lauded Owens, not once has he singled out a superb play, not once has he mentioned an exceptionally run route, or a gutsy play, or a fabulous catch. Not once called him a 'dynamic' player. Not once praised a particular play as he does TG on almost a weekly basis.

Now that's just fine - because 'celebrity' playmaking is not what Bill wants anyway. That's what the Madden II portion of the fanbase craves, not Bill Parcells.

Owens role here as a glorified possession receiver, a very effective chain mover, is EXACTLY what Parcells envisions for a ball control, play action oriented offense.

I have no doubt that Bill is happy with his game, drops or not, demands to be fed or not. The chains move. Period.

But that same possession nature of his game is also what will allow him to be cut without feeling a great loss - he isn't theTO of 2004. You're not losing an exceptional talent now. Just a higher grade KJ.

It's sad, really, because no coach will esteem this chain moving role as much as Bill, and Owens, the fool, doesn't realize under Bill Parcells he could extend his career AND amass great stats.

He is already on target to beat his career best year IN passes targeted.

But he can't shut up..he can't shut up because being what he is now, a COG, albeit an important one, is not a glorious enough status for him to be able to live with. He's gotta keep pushing himelf forward as he did on ESPN today ( and yeah, ESPN didn't hold a gun to his head to make him talk).

It's Owens' need to be the center of attention that will end his tenure here. He just can't accept not being the focus of 'everything'. The more his elite talent declines, the more he will need to bring the attention back to himself in some other way, which of course, since he's stunningly stupid, will be a negative way.

It's a darn shame really...for himself more than anyone.

He had a goldmine here. In more ways than one - right owner, the 'right' coach, a partner receiver who not just doesn't squawk about not getting the ball, but befriends him, a talented young QB who can take advantage of a vet. good run game...

..instead he goes on tv to whine his hc didn't send him flowers when he ODed.

Geez, at leasts Parcells didn't text message him "OD on your own time".:laugh2:

Perfectly stated.

Owens is his worst enemy and he dont even know it.

 

[BigD_95]

okay . so there you have it 5 of his 8 touchdowns mattered for nothing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! btw against carolina and indy 2 big games he had ZERO tds .i could go thru all the drops but that would take too much time ! :laugh2::laugh2::laugh2:hes not as great as you think he is !:laugh2::laugh2::laugh2::laugh2::laugh2::laugh2::laugh2::laugh2:

I agree about The TD coming in garbage time but he does open up the O and is a very big part of this team in helping what we have been able to do. TD dont tell the whole story.

But I hope if Bill is bothered by all of this crap then we replace him next year but if Bill doesnt care I dont because I love this O!

im not saying hes not a good player but hes not what he was and on top of it all he does is cause problems off the field and you can tell its getting close to dismatling our team . i just wish he was gone . i agree with your points but i think we could be just as good without him .

Is there a recap anywhere???

What did he say?

All I can gather from this thread is that he complained about something.

 

[Cas2800]

Pull out those stats ...... He has had very few Touchdowns in garbage time .... and his first downs have been vital.

His drops have hurt ..... not denying that .... but I can forgive someone who had his hand plated together for dropping a few.

I do not like the Diva ..... but he is very good at his job and opens up the field for everyone else.

Now go wish for some more of our players to get hurt kid.

If TO was looking for excuses as to why he has dropped so many passes he could have easily used his broken hand as the excuse and most people would understand.

The fact is that he said that the reason why he has dropped so many passes is because his head is not into the game and he feels like he is going through the motions.

Why type of statement is that?

Give me valid reasons as to what the team or coach has done to him that can justify his additude? Yes someone leaked some information to the media but that was probably 1 person. To take out your feelings on the entire team for one persons actions is plain childish. TO will lose more respect from his teamates for his claim of going through the motions. Every time he drops a pass fans and teamates will be wondering where his mind is and is he just going through the motions today. He brings problems upon himself and then cries to the media instead of trying to keep the problems in house like he asks his teamates to do.

To disrespect everyone on the team like he doing is wrong!! If your a fan of TO and you support TO then fine. If your a fan of the Dallas Cowboys this type of behavior is wrong. He is being intentionally disruptive to the team for his own personal gain.

All I can gather from this thread is that he complained about something.

he said he loves being a cowboy, and he wished he could have played for dallas his whole career.

then said what he said earlier in the yr. when he's not involved in the gameplan he gets bored and that might cause drops lack of focus, and the trust issue

he got airtime, and tonight he'll get more on national tv. just seems like the pesismists cant be happy with a 1st place team

What did he say?

All I can gather from this thread is that he complained about something.

It's just typical T.O., nothing else...

He said something to the effect that he drops balls because he's not really happy, therefore not focused as he should be...Things that happen with his teammates should stay in the locker room...he don't know who to trust...

And some other garbage that really don't mean anything, at least to me, as long as he keep getting first downs, or touchdowns...

Really nothing, just T.O. being T.O., however, watching the interview, I'm thinking to myself, "Just shut the f up...."!

Anyway, you have not missed anything...

 

[LatinMind]

I'm thinking to myself, "Just shut the f up...."!

funny i been thinking the same thing about pesismists on this board

it couldnt have been said it better than that

 

[LatinMind]

You and I both...!

lol right on, i just find it hard to believe people have so mucht ocomplain about with a 8-4 team and a 2 game lead in the division, boggles the mind

 

[slick325]

I didn't see the interview but my thoughts are this.

In Philadelphia, TO became a "distraction" because it was clear he had some pull with people there. It literally became a TO-vs-McNabb thing in that locker room.

When the Cowboys signed TO, all the players said, 'We're willing to give him a clean slate.' At the same time, you know they all knew what they were getting: A childish superstar.

I just never get the sense -- based on the play of this team, and how players interact with TO on game day -- that any of the guys really give his off-the-wall comments any consideration. Even the ones that hang with him off the field don't seem to be dogging it because, 'Well, TO said...'

If it ever gets to a point where TO is suspected to be swaying people against Parcells, then he must be removed from the team. Even as an ocassional TO apologist, I absolutely agree with this assessment.

But how sucseptible (sp) is this locker room to him? It just really seems to me like this locker room lets him be "TO" in the public eye without giving a damn. It just doesn't seem to affect anyone's preparation.

I mean, after every "TO distraction" the team has come out and played well.

And I think his play has been good enough to be willing to sit through the annoying comments, so long as they're not truly destructive.

I haven't had the chance to read every post within this thread but I had to stop when I read this post Dale. Great post. I agree 100% with everything you stated.

I really think the players (and of course this is speculation) tune T.O. out when it comes to his comments on the sideline or in front of the media. I think it is a "there goes T.O. again" mentality and then they brush it off and keep going.

Great post Dale.

it couldnt have been said it better than that

Remember how Parcells said to the media about "you got sucked"?

I'm thinking you did too!

 

[hmcorp]

ever heard of being taken out of context??

for that matter we all know TO is a personality. all personalities show their flaws.

get over yourselves.

it is silly to aruge baout this.

69 catches 51 for first downs.

third best performance for a cowboys wr in cowboy history is things continue as they are.

im fine with it. ESPN has been so obvious about their desire to play up TO the team breaker they will do anything.

it isnt a big deal to parcells. get over yourselves.

i like how everybody calls out to from 11 drops on the yr, which he's always been known for. that wasnt a problem in SF or philly because they were winning. and guess what, dallas is winning, but too many people hope its a failure, and the sad thing is there's a big chunk of that hate coming from dallas fans. thats what truely pathetic

the truth being TO is tied for 2nd in in TD's, top 5 in receptions and top 10 in yrds. there are only 2 wr's who have better all around numbers then him in each category except td's (because owens has more td's then both) and thats chad johnson and andre johnson.

if ur complaining about owens 11 drops when he's actually giving the cowboys probably the 3rd best production from a wr in the nfl, then i guess nothing will make u happy.

those numbers are something dallas hasnt had since irvin was in dallas. but not only does owens do that for the passing game, he opens up the trunning game because of the safty help they get on owens. imagine how horrible the running game would be with all them 9 man box dallas faced last yr.

ignorance is bliss sometimes, but damn people without TO on this team dallas is .500 club

 

[hmcorp]

and anyone mad at TO...

WELL YOU SIR HAVE BEEN SUCKED!

 

[Doomsdayblitz]

Sure Michael is just doing his job but why did BSPN give him the assignment now? Was Terrell being too quiet? Did they see the need to stir up something? Im one of the Owens supporters. However, i'm not naive enough to think this guy can change. All I know is anytime he opens his mouth, the chances of any good coming out is about 80/20. Don't see anything good coming from this interview. Stay tuned.

I think you meant 20/80. If so, why in the world would you be an Owens supporter? You know that if the guy opens his mouth, there is an 80% chance he will say something totally stupid, and yet, you are a supporter. Wow. What kind of an idiot are you, anyway?

 

[zrinkill]

okay . now admit your wrong little girl .
3-3-JAC21(2:00) D.Bledsoe pass deep left to T.Owens for 21 yards, TOUCHDOWN.S.Suisham extra point is GOOD, Center-L.Ladouceur, Holder-T.Romo.DAL 17 JAC 24, Plays: 4 Yards: 79 Possession: 1:19.
2-2-HOU2(2:29) T.Romo pass short left to T.Owens for 2 yards, TOUCHDOWN.M.Vanderjagt extra point is GOOD, Center-L.Ladouceur, Holder-T.Romo.HOU 6 DAL 34, Plays: 12 Yards: 76 Possession: 7:47. 1-8-NYG8(13:06) T.Romo pass short left to T.Owens for 8 yards, TOUCHDOWN.(Pass formation) TWO-POINT CONVERSION ATTEMPT. T.Romo rushes up the middle. ATTEMPT SUCCEEDS. Romo lined up in shotgun formation.NYG 26 DAL 15, Plays: 7 Yards: 75 Possession: 3:25. yet another game Another flag came on Terrell Owens for excessive celebration: He pretended to take a nap by using the football as a pillow after his 4-yard touchdown catch from Romo put the Cowboys ahead 19-12 in the third quarter.
Later in that quarter, a wide-open Owens dropped a long pass when he was behind the defense and seemed certain to give Dallas a two-touchdown lead.
"I owe this one to the team," Owens said. "I let the team down. Honestly, I think it was a lack of concentration."

1-10-DAL49(5:23) T.Romo pass deep left to T.Owens for 51 yards, TOUCHDOWN.M.Vanderjagt extra point is GOOD, Center-L.Ladouceur, Holder-T.Romo.DAL 20 ARI 3, Plays: 1 Yards: 51 Possession: 0:08. 1-7-TB7(6:34) T.Romo pass to T.Owens for 7 yards, TOUCHDOWN. Slant from left end. Romo has tied a club record with his 5th TD pass. It's the 9th time in club history that a Cowboys QB has thrown for five TD passes in a game.M.Vanderjagt extra point is GOOD, Center-L.Ladouceur, Holder-T.Romo.TB 10 DAL 35, Plays: 5 Yards: 35 Possession: 2:31.
so there you have it 5 of his 8 touchdowns mattered for nothing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! btw against carolina and indy 2 big games he had ZERO tds .i could go thru all the drops but that would take too much time ! :laugh2::laugh2::laugh2:hes not as great as you think he is !:laugh2::laugh2::laugh2::laugh2::laugh2::laugh2::laugh2::laugh2:

Are you ******** kid? Half of those where the nail in the coffin for the team we were playing against or when we were trying to come back after being down ..... you consider that garbage time?

Kid you know less about football than I thought.
