Veteran wide receiver Terrell Owens'(notes) blunt opinions didn't spare the Cincinnati Bengals' coaching staff or owner Mike Brown(notes).
“I think if you look at the talent we had in that locker room this year and we mustered four wins, that should let you know something is not right,” Owens said during an NFL Network appearance. “Throughout the year, I saw some things that really wasn’t right. I’ve made a comment about if you’re trying to win some championships, it starts from the top down. (Warren Sapp) mentioned Mike Brown.
"I think even before I got there, they said the owner was a little different. Obviously, I saw that. You start with the head coach, and then you start with the staff on both sides of the ball. Offensively, we really didn’t have the coaching that we really needed to muster what we had on the offensive side of the ball.”
Owens also weighed in on quarterback Carson Palmer's(notes) recent trade demands, which have been denied by the Bengals.
“What a lot of people really don’t think and really don’t understand about this situation with Carson asking to be out of there (is) he’s saying something without really saying something,” Owens said. “That’s what a lot of people should read (into). There is a line that needs to be read in there. He knows that there’s some things within that organization that just aren’t right.
"Obviously Chad (Ochocinco) tried to get out of there a few years back, and obviously that didn’t work well for him. Obviously if you have your franchise quarterback who is supposed to be that guy for your team (and) trying to get out of there, that’s kind of telling the organization something, and that’s telling a lot of people out there something as well.”
