DMN Blog: NFL Network has T.O.'s back
by Tim MacMahon
Everybody knows that Deion Sanders is a T.O. apologist. But he wasn't even on the NFL Network panel that came to the conclusion that getting rid of T.O. would be a mistake by the Cowboys.
Jamie Dukes is firmly in the pro-T.O. camp. Matter of fact, he wrote on an NFL.com blog post that he doesn't believe the speculation that the Cowboys could cut T.O. He calls it a conspiracy to blame the Cowboys' woes on T.O. (Thanks to Dan Reeves for playing his role in the conspiracy.)
Dukes claims that the players don't consider T.O. a problem. That, of course, depends on which players you're talking to.
Dukes does acknowledge that "a certain player who shall remain nameless" might have a problem with T.O. Gee, wonder who he might be referring to?Baggage is something Owens will have to deal with because he made that bed. However, it's time to place the credit and blame where it belongs. The success and failure of the Cowboys is squarely on the consistent play of the one that shall remain nameless. The media has planted the seed in the head of the nameless one that things would be better if T.O. was not on the roster.
A word of caution: If T.O. gets his walking papers, nothing will change because Roy Williams will call out his quarterback just like he did in Detroit. The only resolution to this equation is for the guy with the famous girlfriend to play in December and January like he plays in September.
