And let the drama begin! I LOVE the smell of Schadenfreude in the morning!
http://www.star-telegram.com/332/story/845794.htmlMany have wondered how the Dallas Cowboys would have fared against the New York Giants in the playoffs last year if Cowboys Pro Bowl receiver Terrell Owens had been healthy. Owens admits having similar thoughts.
Owens missed the final game of the season with a high ankle sprain but returned to the field in the Cowboys’ 21-17 divisional loss to the Giants two weeks later.
He second-guesses the Cowboys' strategy more so than his health. He caught four passes for 49 yards and a touchdown in the game, all in the first half. But he said he could have done more, especially in the second half when he was held without a catch.
Owens caught nine passes for 212 yards and touchdowns of 22, 47, 25 and 50 yards in the two regular-season victories against the Giants. But in deference to his ankle, Owens said the Cowboys didn’t treat him as if he were 100 percent in the playoff game because they did not give him a chance to make plays down the field.
"I feel I made the most of the opportunities," Owens said. "It was just like when I played in the Super Bowl with the [Philadelphia] Eagles, I told the coach if I am on the football field to treat me as if I am 100 percent. I don’t think they [were] considering what I did in the game. ... I felt like I could have done more."
