I meant to mention it (forgot) but the Cowboys 2003 yearbook was this morning at 8:30am. I had my Tivo pick it up, haven't had a chance to watch it yet. Anybody else see it?

It's wonderful, TheSkaven. It's called "The Boys are Back", and of course, it's a highlight reel like all of these films, but it does capture the sea change in Cowboys fortunes nicely. Roy's clips are awesome and anyone who didn't know
Carter sucks would be amazed at a few of his long TD throws.

Tuna is given his props as the architect of the renaissance, but it's not too much about him. Nice balance overall, and ending with the words 'they're back but that's not enough" .

It was first shown on the nfl channel over a month ago. I think I must have watched it 30 times already just to see Terry's TDs in Detroit and Washington.

You will love it.

Great. Now if someone can convince the bastiges at Cox Cable to start showing the NFL Network, I would be set.

I have always thought Carter throws a very good long ball he just didn't have enough arm to hit the wr's in stride. Where he struggles is on touch passes and stupid decisions.

Excellent, can't wait to get home tonight to watch it. The on-side kick return was the highlight of the season for me, reminding me exactly why having a coach like Bill Parcells is critical to any franchise.

Geez, they got the Ice Bowl on now.

Some of this programming on Jimmy Johnson is all good.

He was/is SO different from Bill.

Jimmy is motivated by love of winning. Tuna by fear of losing.

Jimmy's a well rounded guy said he wants to be remembered as "someone who had a passion for life". Bill is admittedly narrower, always seemed to have one passion only, football.

Both are great motivators, and won't let a good team get complacent, but Jimmuh the better talent evaluator and Tuna the better teacher.

Both are no one to fool around with, and will make examples of players, but Jimmy always struck me as MUCH more ruthless than Bill. I have nothing but observation to base this on, but Tuna seems to cherish his marginal players as much as Jimmy cherished his stars. Like with JJ, with Bill it's performance that counts most, but the climb is what seems to matter most to Tuna, not the pinnacle. The "Parcells Guy" ethos.

JJ could retire from coaching and lead a full and happy life. Bill is miserable in or out of coaching. ;)

I can feel your pain. My word for Cox Cable would be a little stronger however.

Finally got a chance to watch the show, it was indeed very good. There were so many great moments from last season, it sure was nice to watch those again. We had more highlights this past season then the past four seasons combined.

A few things they showed that I had forgotten: the comeback against the Giants (week 2), the two safeties on consecutive drives against the Cardinals, the hit that laid out Emmitt, Terry Glenn's 3 TD day against the Lions, and the beating that Ramsey took in week 15.

Was good for a fix, get here training camp already.

Good analysis of the two coaches...

Throw in Bill's ability to teach and Jimmy's ability to find the best guy into one pot, stir it up, add some water, and poof you have the perfect coach.

So on "Dallas Day" they show the Ice Bowl, the Catch and the 2001 Clint Stoenrer loss to the Giants. Way to go! They could have at least shown the 1999 opening day win against the Redskins. They have that in the NFL Replay film vault. I wonder if they will show the 1992 NFC championship game on "49er Day"?

I think you know the answer to that :rolleyes:

I think this statement is a bit contradictory... I mean what's a good long ball if you can't hit the WR? Any NFL QB should be able to heave a ball in the vicinity. Carter has an amazing ability to underthrow a WR just as he's breaking upfield. He should study his physics too, because his trajectory is way too low. When Michael Irvin called him out on this on the sidelines of the New England game, I cheered.

So, little accuracy, no touch, average arm strength, and bad trajectory-- what makes this deep ball good?

I don't fancy Bill a great teacher so much as a guy who can get the most out of marginal players while keeping the stars humble. He knows discipline, defense, controlling the clock, and the value of special teams.

Gulp, here I go defending QC again. What is the world coming to?

I think he throws a decent deep ball. The fade type ball. I can't remember the game, but he dropped one right in there to Bryant (who dropped it). It really was a pretty good pass. I have seen him to do this on a few occasions.

I do think he struggles on the throws that require some serious arm strength and accuracy. The outs, slants, deep ins and crossing patterns in particular. Of course, what do I know? BP said he needs to improve his deep ball, so he must need to work on it. :D
