Jauron Doesn’t Mind “Bucking History” On T.O.

At the Tuesday morning AFC coaches’ breakfast held in conjunction with the league meetings in California, Bills coach Dick Jauron faced a barrage of questions regarding one of the newest members of the team -- receiver Terrell Owens. The most pointed questions came from Tom Curran of NBCSports.com. Per Curran, Jauron became “agitated” when reminded that Owens is a perfect three-for-three in wrecking his relationship with a team’s starting quarterback. (Per ESPN.com’s Tim Graham, Jauron’s “eyes narrowed” during the grilling from Curran.) “I’ll start by saying that he’s won a lot of games,” Jauron said regarding Owens. “The goal is to win games and get to the playoffs.” (Of course, Owens hasn’t been played in a postseason game that his team won since the 2002 wild-card round. So Owens can help a team win games and get to the playoffs. At that point, however, the team is on its own.) “I don’t think he needs protecting from anyone,” Jauron then said of quarterback Trent Edwards. “He can protect himself.” Reminded that a good relationship between Owens and Edwards would contradict Owens’ history, Jauron said, “That’s all right. I don’t mind bucking history.”
