T.O. Goodbye

According to reports, the Cowboys have cut wide receiver Terrell Owens. Good riddance. It is a surprise to see this happen. Usually when a team with high expectations completely crash - at the beginning of the season, the talk was about the Cowboys winning a Super Bowl and they did not even make the playoffs - it is the head coach that gets the axe, even though that may not be the problem.
For once, Jerry Jones made the right decision in saying goodbye to Owens, who has been a problem child anywhere he goes.
For Owens, when things go bad, his mouth starts to run and last year, things went really bad. Not only did the Cowboys not make the playoffs, but Owens contributed to that with his worst season in Dallas with lows in receptions, yards and touchdowns. The only category he was in the top 10 in the NFL was in touchdowns with 10.
It is not worth putting up with his attitude and cancer in the clubhouse if he cannot produce big numbers on the field.
However, with the decision to cut Owens, the Cowboys have some major questions to their offense and where they go. The biggest question will be if Roy Williams, who was traded for during the season, can became a No. 1 wide receiver. Williams, the UT grad, never filled that role in Detroit where he only has had an 80-plus reception, 1,000-yard plus yard season once.
Williams is going to have to be the answer at the wide receiver position because there are no answers in the free agent market. Sure, the Cowboys need to sign some lower talent at wide receiver, but the top names already are gone.
For the Cowboys to have success next year on offense, they need to rediscover their running game. The Cowboys were 21st in rushing last season. With a healthy Marion Barber and Felix Jones, the Cowboys should do a better job in the running game and take some of the pressure off Tony Romo.
