Terrell Owens attacks the the coaching staff.
Felix Jones is gone for the year.
And now Terence Newman injured his groin and he may not play Sunday.
What a week for the Dallas Cowboys.
Let’s start with Owens:
- Apparently, the interview Sunday with Deion Sanders is going to be a doozy. We have no idea what Owens may say, but if it gets any worse than what he has already said, it will be time for Wade Phillips to be ballsy. Suspend Owens for a game. Give the ball to Roy Williams and Marion Barber and see what happens. Of course, Sanders is an entertainer and he very well could have said that to get more people to watch the show on NFL Network at 10 a.m.
As for Felix Jones
- If he stays healthy, he had a real chance for rookie of the year, something a Dallas Cowboy has not won since Emmitt Smith in 1990. Jones was an important weapon for the Cowboys on special teams and on certain offensive plays. He had the capability to explode and spread the field out. Losing him is big because ever since he’s been gone, the Cowboys have struggled.
Terence Newman played so well against the Washington Redskins.
- If Newman cannot play, the pressure is back on rookie Mike Jenkins, who has been inconsistent. We know Jenkins can think too much while on the field and avoid big hits. In the secondary, that’s an unhealthy attitude to have. The concern is even when Newman is 50-50 on the field, he doesn’t play well. It is really unfortunate how he has had health problems the last two seasons.
The Dallas Cowboys host a pesky San Fransisco 49ers team led by a fiery coach. The 49ers have a real decent running back in Frank Gore. All of these setbacks can cause problems for the Cowboys if the coaching staff isn’t doing the right thing. The Cowboys don’t want to overlook this team and hopefully the mindset is to prepare for a battle.

geez..50/50..If he plays..he will not be effective..This guy is done..He is of no use to the team..Can’t stay on the field..and eats up salary cap…
TO..they say Sunday is worse..If so..I hope not..I suspend him..Send a message to the team..Harsh..but it would show Wade has a pair..
I dont think that he is done I mean its not different injurys just his groin whatever is wrong they need to fix it.
texas..I love Newman..but he can’t stay healthy..always putting us in a bind..His body is used up..I guess..but Go Cowboys..I say sit him..Don’t risk the injury..If we can’t win these next two without him..We deserve to lose..
BTW..OU..42..Tech 7..WTF..Hook Em Horns..
The Redskins game was actually just barely within their original projection of how long he’d be out. I get the impression that he rushed back to play in that game and now is paying the price. I remember when I first heard he was out I thought he’d never make it back in time for the Redskins game.
RG..Newman said after the Redskins game that it was the first time he had been healthy in a year..It lasted less than an week..oops hurt again..He can’t stay on the field..He will probably play..but shouldn’t..
Just because he declared himself healthy doesn’t mean he didn’t come back too early. Players often feel fine and push themselves too hard when rehabbing an injury and do exactly what he did. I don’t know for sure that’s what he did. I’m just saying his comments don’t necessarily disprove my theory.
Washington declared at the beginning of the season that he was the healthiest he had been in several years, and he’s spent more time on the Redskins bench injured than in the actual field. What players say isn’t necessarily what they believe. And even if it is, they could always be wrong.
