	Terrell Owens feels he was underutilized in last January's playoff loss to the Giants.

Just in the nick of time, the old Terrell Owens made a cameo appearance at Valley Ranch on Tuesday. In the aftermath of last January's divisional playoff loss to the Giants at Texas Stadium, T.O. made headlines with his tearful defense of quarterback Tony Romo.

He said that the high-ankle sprain that caused him to miss the final regular-season game against the Redskins didn't affect his play against the Giants, which is interesting when you consider the fact that offensive coordinator Jason Garrett suddenly scrapped the team's vaunted passing attack for a run-based approach against New York.

On Tuesday, T.O. thought it would be a good idea to question Garrett's game plan -- seven months later. With the following quote, T.O. suggests that Wade Phillips and Garrett should've followed Andy Reid's blueprint in Super Bowl XXXIX.

"I feel I made the most of the opportunities," Owens said of his play in the 21-17 divisional loss. "It was just like when I played in the Super Bowl with the Eagles, I told the coach if I am on the football field to treat me as if I am 100 percent. I don't think [the Cowboys] were considering what I did in the game. ... I felt like I could have done more."

Wonder if T.O. brought this up with the coaching staff when the Cowboys were devising a game plan the week leading up to the game?

T.O. had torched the Giants for 212 yards and four touchdowns in two regular-season games. And that's why he feels like the Cowboys coaching staff erred in not treating him as if he were 100 percent in the playoff game. When I bump into Wade after the game Friday, I'll make sure and ask him about T.O.'s revisionist history.

Oops, am I screwing up the whole "T.O. has changed" storyline. My bad.
