How the Old Parcells Would Guarantee a Win Against KC..

[Tripod]

The old Parcells would get in the faces of each and every player on the O line and scream....

" Starting this week I'm watching you...every freakin' one of ya and you better show me that you can block for the pass and you better show me that you can block for the run or guess what??? You aren't gonna play here any more. Have some dam balls and block somebody. Prove you belong in this locker room and in this league and you better start proving it now or you'll be sitting. You'll be pumping gas somewhere next year or mowing the lawn for your mommy...Now give it all on every damn play because I'm watching you, I'm watching you good. Your choice, block like a damn man and show you want to play in the NFL and stop being the laughing stock of this league or roll over and let these KC make you look bad. If you think I'm kidding I'm not, I'll cut you in the damn film room next week and you'll be picking up your last paycheck. "

Too hard to read.

Tripod. I find your post offensive by using the Lords name in vain, and kindly ask that you would change it.

This rant wouldn't be very motivating.

It would be if Parcells was the one giving it. People seem to be scared of the Tuna....

Sometimes players get used to it and tune it out.

There are only so many times you can curse before someone starts ignoring you. Jimmy Johnson was a little different. He literally would make people unemployed. Coach Parcells is a bit more patient and tries to get them up to standard, sometimes too long.

Your right with today’s athletes they get their little feeling hurt so easy. Besides today’s players know they could just get another chance with a different team at the end of the season. Not many players today with the old school mentality.

[juice28]

I think the Tuna has evolved just like the game and players have evolved. That's what makes him better than other coaches. (cough, cough, Gibbs, cough, cough). He will motivate the line this week. Just watch and enjoy.

[Hoov]

You also need to have someone to fill in when you cut a player to make those threats. Right now Parcells doesnt

It doesn't matter who is giving it. Yelling like a lunatic will not motivate anybody.

And there are some football players on this team that it would like backfire with. They are all adults. Larry Allen and Marco Rivera have more than 10 probowls between them and are both rich. I don't think Parcells can threaten either of them, and I don't think either of them are giving less than 100%.

Torrin Tucker obviously isn't afraid of Parcells. Rob Pettiti is giving a good effort and I am sure he will improve in future seasons, but for right now, he needs more experience and possibly some work in the weight room.

Fear isn't always the best motivating factor.

In some cases you have salary cap implications that play a part as well. It is not that easy to cut a player if your team has to take a big hit in their cap.

[baj1dallas]

Do you really think Petiti's problem is that he's not "motivated" enough? Do you really think the feeling of "I'm going to get cut if Micheal Strahan beats me once" is going to make him perform better? Have you ever had a damn job?

Again there was a time when players would take the verbal abuse and yes it did provide motivation. Coaches like Halas and Lombardi did instill fear as in players knew who the boss was and never questioned it or else they were shown the door. These coaches were not looking to be your buddy they were only interested in winning football games so you did exactly what you were told

[DallasDomination]

Thats a good way to get them going.....Sure why not I'll even throw in some insults towards fat Pettiti lol.

[SultanOfSix]

There is a difficult balance between pushing buttons with fear and being personally encouraging that all great coaching motivators have to tread.

[burmafrd]

RIght now with the cap and this late in the season, BP cannot just cut any of the starters- so the threat would have to be shaped differently.
What BP could do: " anyone that dogs it in this game I am going to personally call out in the Monday press conference. I am going to show film and every instance of your screw ups will be highlighted. THEN I am going to make you run 10 laps for the next three days with the whole team standing on the sidelines laughing at you"

[jem88]

Done. I didn't read what you had originally written but I hope you're not sacrificing your free expression too willingly. The last thing we need is righteousness taking over in here.

Nothing wrong with a little righteousness....

[ZRO]

The problem I have with those huge emotional speeches is.. how do you top that? I mean after you say something like that if you say anything after that and it's not on that level, it's gonna make it seem like that game isn't as important.

[Signals]

I didn't read what you had originally written but I hope you're not sacrificing your free expression too willingly. The last thing we need is righteousness taking over in here. It has nothing to do with righteousness, and everything to do with respect and dignity toward others.

Reality has made it very clear in the forum rules and guide lines what is expected if one is to remain a member here at the zone, and remembering that children are present.

I did not see the original post, but I can tell you that when people use curtain types of language containing curses toward God, it makes me sick. And if the mods or Reality allowed it fester here I would never return.

I enjoy reading all of the opinions of Cowboys fans from around the world here, but not at the expense of my sensibilities.

Final word.

Righteousness has taken over here. Go read the forum rules.

In Halas and Lombardi's time players had 2nd jobs in the off season and were not making millions a year. Although football was there main source of income.

If you made $5000/year in football and $2000 year in the off season selling insurance...then that speech would motivate you.

Things have changed, which is not always good.

A player made pretty good money (as compared to pumping gas) but it wasn't enough to support them during the whole offseason. Many players had other jobs during the off season. (so the threat of having to work another job was real.....
Nowadays, the players make so much that they can live several years on one season's salary.

That's exactly what I said last week.

I agree with what your saying. Players in that era did not play for the big money but they played with a lot of passion and team pride. Passion for some I think is there, team pride I think a lot of that has been lost with FA. Guys move around so much that there is no loyalty to the ball club and it is no longer a second family. The guy who hated yesterday is your teammate today.
