Congratulations are in order for Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Terrell Owens. After a long week of controversy over the anticipated airing of the "penthouse" interview that he did with former Cowboy cornerback Deion Sanders, the receiver has once again proved that age is just a number. While taking on the 3-7 San Fransisco 49ers, the wide-out put up record numbers that were the second most of his career. Behind only the 283 yards he had in the 2000 game in which he caught an NFL-record of 20 passes, back when he played for the 49ers, and the fifth-best in Cowboys history. Many may have watched the interview that aired today on the NFL Network, but for those who did not, during the interview with Sanders the frustrated receiver had this to say regarding his offensive coach, "The thing is, if Garrett is smart enough to know what has made me successful all my years, he'll go back to the offense and the type of formations and things that I did that were successful in San Francisco."
Did Garrett go back to the type of offensive plays that Owens is used to? Wellll... during the post game interviews both Owner Jerry Jones,and Offensive coach Jason Garrett stated that the game plan had not been changed.
After all of the complaining and criticisms of the Cowboys offense this week, T.O. finished today's game with a total of seven catches for 213 yards, including a 75-yard touchdown, in the Cowboys' 35-22 victory over the 49ers. Within the last couple of weeks, players seem to be clicking and playing to the statue of those million dollar contracts that they are under.
One thing that remains un-predictable is the fact that no one knows how long this team will continue to play with the amount of explosiveness that's been shown. On the other hand one main thing that has become evident is that since the return of quarterback Tony Romo this team has not only their swagger back, but they have also played with confidence, and much more heart.
The 'Boys take on the 2-8 Seattle Seahawks on Thanksgiving day. After today's performance T.O. said "they unleashed him"...and too add on to that let me be the first to say that you might want to not only get the turkey ready, but to also "GETCHA" popcorn ready!!!!!

El Dorado had a great game against a young undisciplined unit. The individual battle between himself and Clements was none existent as T.O. smashed him time and again. Can they maintain when we play the uppe level teams is yet to be seen. Our report card comes out after the Pittsburgh game... We'll know where we wee after that game...
