Well T.O. IS gone is it good or bad?
Lets decide together, We know T.O. was a head ache. Tony Romo had stop and think about where T.O. was every time he dropped back to pass the ball, instead of just looking for the open receiver in the progression.
And Let me tell you that makes Romo’s job twice as hard. So from that stand point we will have to say YES.
Lets look at statistics; Terrell Owens:

His stats are not bad at all, in fact they are pretty good. But the know on T.O. was nevey his ability, it was his, well lets just be open and honest, HIS MOUTH. Which flowed freely with crap from a bad attitude, the answer here is still YES the stats don’t out way the attitude.
His projected replacement?????? Miles Austin:

The statistics are not there, in fact it would be unfair to compare. (I’m a poet and didn’t know it) The powers that be seem to think Austin can be the deep threat kind of in the way Alvin Harper was.
And Roy Williams can play the role of Michael Irvin. Ok this is me getting down on both knees and bowing to the good lord above that they are right. Roy E. Williams:

From Roy’s stats he look like he can fill the role, if he can regain his 2006 numbers. Jerry Jones and others seem to think he can. I for one think it will be a great move letting T.O. go so the rest of the team can do just that play as a team. Let me know what you think.
Nice work! I hope I’m not being a super Homer but I honestly think this offense has the ability to play some really good ball, and hopefully make a big jump from the previous seasons. So Long T.O. and hello to The real Roy Williams!
