T.O. issues ominous warning to Cowboys star Dak Prescott
Former Cowboys wide receiver Terrell Owens took to Twitter over the weekend to defend current Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott, saying he shouldn’t be the fall guy for a lackluster season.
The idea that Prescott turned the locker room against star receiver Dez Bryant — as some in his Twitter battle claimed — is ludicrous, Owens said.
Please don’t put that on Dak! I have no doubt based what u have witnessed from @DezBryant being a @dallascowboys fan but I know that plays are called by the OC and can only be executed with a strategic game plan. https://t.co/IcGRpLmery

When asked about his tweet by TMZ, Owens said, “I just didn’t like the way they were trying to say Dak is the problem or Dak is putting the blame or turning people against Dez. That’s not fair to Dak.”
Owens claims Bryant has done that himself.
No. Dez has turned ppl on Dez. Some of it is on him but more on Jason Garrett & the OC who are responsible for putting Dez in the position to win. That means have him run routes to his strengths. Game planning is key…situational plays, down & distance dictates all of that. https://t.co/IcGRpLmery

Owens, who played in Dallas from 2006-2008, also said that he was run out of town and he didn’t want to see that happen to Prescott.
“Consider this … [offensive coordinator Jason] Garrett and [quarterback Tony] Romo posse’d up to get rid of me, Garrett got Wade (Phillips) fired, injuries got rid of Romo,” Owens tweeted.
“NOW u wanna blame Dak?! Stop it!!”
Consider this…Garrett & Romo posse’d up to got rid me, Garrett got Wade fired, injuries got rid of Romo…side note: if I’m there he doesn’t have those injuries because he got someone to throw to(I get open😉) Soooo…everyone is gone now… NOW u wanna blame Dak?! Stop it!! https://t.co/IcGRpLmery

TMZ also asked Owens about this claim that he was run out of town.
“Everybody knows what went down,” Owens told TMZ.
Also, Dez has had a few injuries that may be a factor as to why Dez can’t get open. I don’t really know because I’m not at practice every day nor do I watch every game BUT what I do see is a player not motivated to play for the Head Coach who thinks he knows it all. https://t.co/IcGRpLmery

Prescott and Bryant struggled this season as Dallas limped to a 9-7 record after going 13-3 in 2016. Prescott had a quarterback rating of 86.6, throwing 22 touchdowns and 13 interceptions for 3,324 yards.
The media created a narrative that I was a bad person. Not saying that I’m perfect, no player is but what did I really do considering what u know now? Just think about…🧐🤔 https://t.co/0o3a8aUDfP

Bryant had 69 catches for 838 yards, but was among the leaders in dropped passes.
Meanwhile, Owens is one of 15 finalists for induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The inductees will be announced Feb. 3 in Minneapolis.
