I agree, we miss his abilities to block from the 12 personnel. The problem was though that he always blocked inline, and never played the F-role. For as good as an inline blocker he was for some reason that couldn't carry over into him also being a F-back blocker.
I'd take MB as the second TE over Phillips - no question despite some of his shortcomings.

They are and as the GM said publicly that's just a bonus. Why? Because the Giants do not use the TE as much the Cowboys do. They sure as hell do not use MB to draw double coverage away from WRs.
Quote:
He's caught as many TDs in a few months as he did in four years here, and through 12 games he's caught almost 50% more passes than he did in his very best year here.
I'm not sure what you're even trying to get at, other than somehow trying to defend Garrett.

MB also went through a dry spell of catching TDs from Week 4 - 12. He just caught a TD in the WAS game after the Redskins completely blew a coverage in the redzone. It's good to see MB get some opportunities and a fresh start but let's not act like the Giants are making him a superstar because quite simply he's not even close to that type of talent. I saw another pass clank off his hands much like the way it did when he was here. When I saw that I chuckled to myself and told a co-worker that it's the same old MB.

Often times you see that in the fourth quarter. A lot of time the team on the other side feels it. We pride ourselves on being a physical football team. It's important to us. It's an important time of the year to lay that foundation." - Coach Garrett

Well - It would appear that many of you are trying to interchange "RKG" for "Talentless Choirboy".. That is not the case. Here are some direct quotes from Redball about RKGs.
But before you read it - take a second and think about this:
How many article, how much talk, was there from 2008-2010 about the lack of leadership? About the entitled persona coming from valley ranch? About how this team thought they could walk on to a field and the other guys would just lay down?
Do you still see those articles being written? Do you think there is a reason for that?
Garrett on RKG:
Jason Garrett said, after being asked about the Cowboys' draft philosophy that year, that the "most important thing is we talk about what it means to be a Dallas Cowboy, the kind of guys we want on our football team....they’re the Right Kind Of Guys." He later defined the term: in addition to being talented players, RKGs "love to play football and show you that they love it each and every day." Moreover, they play with "passion, enthusiasm, emotion."
Garrett went on to acknowledge several of the qualities that makes a player an RKG. One of them is leadership
....................................
eventually, there should be a tipping point, a moment where these hard-working, tough-minded youngsters who have grown up together, challenging each other in the weight room, on the practice field and in the huddle, will suddenly, collectively, be the better for it.
“We’re looking for the right kind of guy,” he said. “The right kind of guy, to us, is someone who loves to play football, who is very passionate about it, willing to work hard at it, willing to be part of a team, willing to be part of something that is maybe greater than himself.
“We want a guy who has an ego. Egos are important. But ego in the context of what we’re trying to accomplish as a team. Guys who are willing to work, are great teammates – there’s always going to be a place for those guys.”
Especially when we're talking about the bottom 30 players on a roster.
How much do you study? How important is winning? Where is football on your priority list? How hard do you play?
Give me a good player who gives supreme effort every snap over a supremely talented player who plays when he feels like it. We all know Albert Haynesworth is one of the most physically gifted players in the game, but don't be surprised if he spends this season at home.
Teams are tired of begging the defensive tackle to play.
Garrett is changing this team's soft mindset and the silly sense of entitlement that runs through it one player at a time.

This is a clinic of right.
BTW, I would add that Jimmy Johnson once said he'd take a team full of RKGs over a team with a handful of superstars who think they are more important than the team. |

The last two years almost EVERY body in Washington DC metro area was blasting Shannahan and his son..I think there was no adjective left in the books or off the books that weren't used to describe them...
The calls for them to be fired were off the chart.....
Listen to DC fans, media, etc etc....They are geniuses and talked about like Gods and saints now and you almost throw up hearing the praise they get from the same people who wanted them out of town...
The point is...when an organization sinks deep into mediocrity for years and years it cannot be fixed in 1, 2, or sometimes 3 years...it needs a PROCESS to fix it and I believe JG is doing just that...The people fixing it might look dump, stupid, idiots, and whatever you wanna call them but given time things will be straighten up nicely.....the key word is PATIENCE...
This team is not a super bowl, or even a playoff, team that just needs any coach to take it to promise land...this team STINKS and it needs to be fixed..

Give me a break. Shanny has skins, but didn't have a QB. It's amazing how genius a coach looks when he has one of those. 
JG has had Romo his whole career and has done squat. Only way he stays IMO is if we make the playoffs. If we do make the playoffs he still must hire Chryst, or somebody to be the OC. |

They didnt have a quarterback. Now they do.
Dallas has had a QB all along and still struggles mightily, looks unprepared & poorly coached.

There are haters, true.
We gonna act like this O-line insnt horrible?
We gonna act like our ProBowl NG is injured?
Two big time ILB arent hurt?
What about the safety, where is he?
Garrett has playersout there pouring everything into the game.
Our RB limps out to the field for the opening drive.
JG has a HOF TE out there trying to play with a lacerated spleen.
Ernie Simms could be working at Starbucks but JG has him on the field making plays.
Oh yeah? Remember that headcase, gangbanging, draft bust, thug, scrub? Thats the same guy that is making plays the almost no other athlete can make. Dez Bryant is running over, running past and dominated the opponents.
[View Full Quote]Really, would Landry, Lombardi, Chesty Puller, Red Auerbach or Joel Osteen have this team playing better. Absolutely not.
I look forward to a long time Jason Garrett era. Having this team ring six wins is something of a miracle.
All the Payton, Gruden, Holmgren and Bill Cowher dreamers should probably just come to terms and bow down to the new Cowboy Coaching Overlord, a new era is upon us.
LOL at you suggesting she has any idea she knows what shes talking about. You do understand she is the laughing stock of the local media, right?
"She seems to get it" HAHAHAHAHAMLAHFGOIHA |
I guess I'm one of the "crazies" that want Payton to coach here but if Garrett makes a push for the playoffs, I'd understand giving him some more time.
Speaking of crazy, your words in bold print.  |

I think he is doing a good job of changing the culture in Dallas.
I don't think he is a good playcaller or game manager. I thought I was going to have to jump through the TV screen to get him to challenge the spot.
He is so reluctant to challenge - I don't get it!

The only difference i've seen between he and Wade is he gets the guys to play harder.
In all honesty, before the team quit on Wade, he had them playing at a higher level than Jason ever has. |

I'm not going to debate wether JG deserves another year because I believe he's coming back regardless of the record. There is no way Jerry fires him after only 2 full seasons on the job. Even the poodle got three years and Jerry has repeated over and over that the only decision he regrets is having fired Chan after 2 years. So there Jason is coming back. Hopefully his third time is a charm. Who knows it aint over this year and

so, in a nutshell, to defend a guy who has accomplished nothing in any capacity in football, you are left to say "do as he says not as he does" ?

There isn't a coach or organization in football (outside of Oakland) that doesn't go after the right kind of guy.
Everyone wants a hard worker, leader, yada yada.
That's just standard coach speak, no need to treat this like Garrett is revolutionizing the way teams are built and coaches look at players.
