Division in the Cowboys Locker Room?


Surprise Surprise....TO is about to cause another franchise to implode!

Now it is because the tight end Jason Witten is getting more passes thrown to him than to Owens. Wow!

This is from an ESPN.com article on the subject where they talked to numerous players on the roster and got their opinions.

And this part of the article is amazing. It appears the Cowboys are going to take the same approach as the 49ers and the Eagles did....

"To be completely honest, I just think Tony is over it, not like, 'Screw it.' But I think Tony is over the mind games,'' the player said. "It would help if Tony would stand up to him, but he would never do it. He does a great job of ignoring it and not letting it affect him, and that's why it has worked as good as it has. It's just hard. I think right now everybody is to the point where, 'We're going to need him, so let's not piss him off.'"
Wow....really? Is that the way you want to handle it? Ask Donovan McNabb and the Eagles if that is the best approach.

"What do you think he said after he complained about not getting the ball and then in the San Francisco game he gets 213? He said, 'Look. It works. The more hell I raise, the more I get what I want.'"
So what your saying is that TO is like a puppy. If you let him get away with something he will continue to do it. Or a baby....if he cries long enough you will eventually pick him up and give him what he wants.

"You really want to address it with him and say, "Are you serious? Let's cut the s---. But we're trying to win our way into the playoffs and, if something like that happened, if you backed him into a corner, he'd be pissed off and try to fight you or something,'' the current Cowboys player said. "So what do you do? Let it go? Then you're just like everybody else. If he's got a problem and he's upset, clear the air. He should know that everything we do on offense goes through him."
Apparently there is at least one player on the team that understands what needs to be done. But is anyone actually going to do anything?

"If you only knew all that guy does. It's gonna go down with him before it's all over with. He is unbelievable. Tough loss and he does that?''
That quote came from an unnamed Cowboy after the loss to the Steelers. TO was seen on the sidelines yelling at the coaching staff because he didn't get the ball. I mean he is open on every single play and he should get the ball thrown to him EVERY single game. Wow....come on now.

A current Cowboys player compared Owens' behavior to that which led to problems with his former quarterbacks, Jeff Garcia in San Francisco and Donovan McNabb in Philadelphia. Those failed relationships and problems with the head coaches and other teammates led to Owens' exile from those teams and made him available to Dallas owner Jerry Jones in 2006. "He's insecure about it,'' the player said of Owens. "The thing that bothers me more than anything about this problem is that it's always something with him -- San Fran, Philly and here, always something. And he brings other people into it. You know, he talks to Sam Hurd and Roy Williams, who just got here and doesn't really know these guys. T.O. talks to him and so now he probably thinks Witten politics with Tony for the ball.

I would love to know who the source was for this article because he has some strong opinions to what is going on. I wonder if TO knows who is saying this. There is some truth to the last sentence there because Patrick Crayton and Roy Williams met with the coaching staff to discuss Witten's involvement in the offense.

Interesting considering Witten is probably the best tight end in the league right now and he deserves his catches. It works in most of the games. Just because you lose one game doesn't mean that Witten getting the ball is a problem.

Personally I love all of this. I am an Eagles fan and can't stand TO for the way he blew up the Eagles. So to watch him go to Dallas and potentially cause that franchise to implode is wonderful.

And Verb is a 49ers fan so he feels the exact same way.

Go TO.....destroy Da Boys!
