So much for gag orders.
Before Wade Phillips talked with Todd Archer yesterday, he also spoke with "Movin' The Chains" on SIRIUS NFL Radio.
Some highlights:
Here's Wade Phillips on losing Terrell Owens: "Well, it's a big hole to fill certainly. I mean, the guy, I think he's led the league the last two years in touchdowns and he had 10 touchdowns this last year and over 1,000 yards. So that's going to be the big point, is to be able to fill that gap."
Phillips said the team is high on Miles Austin and said Patrick Crayton is solid. He also expects good things from Roy Williams.
"Of course, Roy Williams coming in we feel like is a top receiver, too," Phillips said.
Phillips had high praise for newly signed defensive end Igor Olshansky, calling him the strongest player in the league.
"His background I think is documented but, I mean, coming over from Russia and not playing football until [later in life], so he's only played football a few years really," Phillips said. "Most of the players have played most of their life and he hasn't so I think he's still developing, too, and I think he'll be a good addition for us."
The other highlight was Phillips' thoughts on newly signed safety Gerald Sensabaugh. Phillips said Sensabaugh brings a different element to the secondary: A safety who can cover tight ends, running backs and wide receivers. Phillips didn't name Roy Williams, but it was another reason why the Cowboys cut ties with him.
