Dallas Cowboys: Thoughts on Terrance Williams and Terrell Owens

Just when you thought all was quiet, wide receiver Terrance Williams embarrassed himself and the Dallas Cowboys in one shot. Here are my thoughts.

Just when you thought the Dallas Cowboys might get by without any trouble in the media. Well, I guess we didn’t hold our breath long enough.

Sure, the details about wide receiver Terrance Williams are still in gather mode. But these moments of arrest and intoxication are simply embarrassing to the Cowboys brand, not to mention to the organization as a whole.

Occurrences like these are now the standard for the Dallas Cowboys to the point that, if nothing happens in the offseason, you feel like you want to celebrate with confetti. That’s incredibly sad.

Make no mistake: Williams’ hard lesson is anything but a celebration.

Williams, who turns 29-years old in September, has a guaranteed salary in 2018. He was never the man to replace Dez Bryant. His role as the team’s second receiver was already in question. So, what’s the big deal with this media rodeo?

Well, to begin with, the Cowboys story in 2018 thus far has been about the pass catchers. Former receivers coach Derek Dooley is out. Dez Bryant is looking for a job. Tight end Jason Witten saw the sunset. The Boys said goodbye to Ryan Switzer and hello to Tavon Austin. Rookie Michael Gallop was the last to sign his rookie contract.

Last week, former Cowboys receiver Terrell Owens confessed his disbelief on how Jason Garrett is still the head coach in Big D. It’s easy to cast away “T.O.” and his comments to the side with a couple of eye rolls.

Williams’ recent outing with the cops, though, doesn’t completely smash Owens’ comments about the clapper.

Thanks to Amazon’s All or Nothing, we get a deeper glimpse into the Cowboys’ DNA. In the show, Garrett preaches the importance of having everyone follow his message, his program. The list includes players, coaches and maybe even the water boy.

So, the question is who is accountable for Williams? How about Randy Gregory? Or how about the 2017 incidents from Damien Wilson, Nolan Carroll or David Irving, who served a four-game suspension by the NFL last year?

Let’s be clear, I think Owens is a nut case. But, I also can’t deny these two things either. One, the guy could still play in the NFL today. And two, he’s not way out of bounce on his comments about Garrett.

Clearly, and I might be in the minority here, the Dallas Cowboys need to improve on hiring the “right” kind of guys. Until then, Jason Garrett will continue to feed the world mumbo jumbo about keeping the right guys.

Whatever that means.
