So the Parcells experiment in Dallas was not the overwhelming success that Jerry Jones and millions of Cowboy fans hoped it would be and furthermore, the Parcells/T.O. Project almost drove Owens to kill himself…or something. But, the Tony Romo experiment turned out to be a smashing success, well, with the exception of the Butterfingers Incident.
Going into the season, the Cowboys have three main questions that need to be answered:
1) How will Tony Romo rebound from fumbling the field goal hold? Or will he go down the road of Scott Norwood?
Romo will be fine. It’s not like it was for the Super Bowl win.
It was “only” the Wild Card round, which is the equivalent of a girl deciding to go home with a borderline guy because they are bored; you are going home with a girl, which is an accomplishment in itself, but it wasn’t really because of you. You were just good enough. This happens all the time. Don’t question it boys, just be happy you’re going home with a girl.
2) How will Wade Phillips do in his first year as head coach?
It’ll be interesting to see how the team transitions from Parcells’ “My Way or the Highway” to Wade “I’m the son a Bum” Phillips’ more relaxed style. It’s sort of like going from the strict Communist rule of East Germany to easy breezy West Germany before the fall of the Berlin Wall. It is telling that Jerry Jones wants some semblance of order in his locker room since he opted for Wade Phillips rather than former Cowboys offensive coordinator Norv Turner. That would have been like going from a strict dictatorship to the lawless wild, wild west.
DeMarcus Ware is going to terrorize quarterbacks in Phillips’ system and we’re thinking that the defense will be in top shape by the first half of the season.
3) The last one is a triple threat: Will T.O. stop being a team cancer? Will he care this season? Will Big-T Learn to share?
No, but I don’t think it matters. By the way, I need to wash some clothes. Can someone get T.O. to do some more crunches in his driveway? I’ll totally be there with my handwash only camisoles and undergarments.
