| Description: | Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Terrell Owens said hes frustrated with his offensive numbers and that the style of offense is the cause of it. Owens spoke to former Cowboys player Deion Sanders in a taped interview on the NFL Network. He said he wants to win a championship with the Cowboys, but he also wants the ball. "For me to have the numbers that I have and not really being involved, it is discouraging," Owens said in the interview that aired Thursday night. "It is frustrating, but what can I do?" Owens has 40 catches for 505 yards with six touchdowns. He has one touchdown in the last four games and hasnt had more than 40 receiving yards since an Oct. 5 victory over Cincinnati. Starting quarterback Tony Romo missed three of the last four games with a fractured right pinkie. Owens has said if he complains about his role in the offense, he will be viewed as selfish, so hes tried to stay quiet. Owens prefers a Super Bowl title over numbers, "but at the same time, you cant obtain that championship if Im not involved in the offense," he said. "Its going to come, and I think a lot of people, they see that when I get my hands on the ball things happen. I cant throw it and catch it. I can do only one thing. Its not that I cant play, its the system of which Im in." It was the same offensive system that saw Owens earn a sixth Pro Bowl berth after catching 81 passes for 1,355 yards with 15 touchdowns last season. |
