Interesting debate on another forum:
Started by JryBfree a Cowboy fan:
When asked today if T.O was going to play Monday night BIll's answer was a definite no.When asked if there was anything he could see that would change his mind between now and monday Bill's answer was a definite no.
To everyone who kept wondering how or if Bill could handle Owens this is how you do it. By keeping to his standard of "I need to see it" Bill has quietly laid down the rule of if you want the chance to play on sunday then you need prove it in practice.
The whole episode the past couple of weeks of hamstring or no hamstring is irrelevent. Say what you want about T.O. playing possum because he didn't want to practice and all that. Say what you want about how it was getting to Bill.
The final truth of the situation is that even though Owens started practicing again because one,he was told to by Bill, or two, he wanted to get back so he could have his stage to play on monday night. he wont be doing anything but watching from the sideline.
You want to send a message to T.O. thats how its done. Even though its just a preseason game the message is still there,you have to show it in practice before you are given the chance to show it on sunday. To a player like T.O. that craves the spotlight and attention,that a powerful message because for T.O. to be T.O. he needs to have those television cameras on him on sunday.
By not playing Owens monday,Bill has started the little voice in T.O.'s head thats says "I need to show this guy he can rely on me,or he wont when it really counts".Now that doesn't mean that T.O. is worried about being cut or benched, but he will start to wonder how big of a role he will be counted on when gametime arrives. And for a player like T.O the bigger the role the better. That is Bill's coaching style. Its what is going to put him in the HOF.

So far, T.O. has gotten most of what he wants, and BP has gotten none of what he wants. So how is BP better at handling T.O. than Reid was? T.O. got to sit out a good deal of training camp and doesn't give a crap about preseason games- he's getting what he wants. BP, on the other hand, has not gotten anything productive out of "this player" to date. Nothing. "This player" was a spectacle at training camp and will sit on the bench, missing a second preseason game. Someone please explain to me how this is working out to Parcell's advantage.
