Owens Having "Okay" Season, According to Parcells

PHILADELPHIA--Bill Parcells says that Terrell Owens is having an "okay" season.

"When he came here, I approached it with this philosophy: It's my job to make it work if I can," the Dallas Cowboys coach said during a conference call Thursday with Philadelphia-area reporters. "It's not been without a few bumps in the road. But for the most part, it's kind of been okay. That's what I'll say. I've tried the best I can to make everything work."

Owens has been plagued by dropped passes but the wide receiver leads the NFL with 11 touchdown catches.

There has been the usual string of controversies involving Owens but Parcells has been able to avoid having a major confrontation with him.

"He's doing okay," Parcells said. "He really is. Not without a few problems here and there, but he's doing okay.... Being a senior citizen, I'm kind of taking a different approach. I'm not someone who's trying to prove he's the boss or set up a rigid line of demarcation."
