Twitter: Chido: "Last year, everyone knew what we were running."

It was on camera during training camp...

Well that is stunning, lol I have to wonder what logic was he using to say that or believe that.
Might as well tell them to just shut their eyes and use "the force"

No more "We Do What We Do" and "We'll Keep it Simple and Beat Them With Execution".

A coaching staff that thinks that their schemes and calls have something to contribute to team success. Who knew?

Comparing a competent football philosophy to what we've had for years makes it clear just how incompetent the previous clown show was.

Those offense's were only good because of Romo. Garrett was not a good OC, just my opinion, but I think he hurt those teams,and
it really showed in the playoff games.

Our OC was Mr. Kill Kill Kill. Butler said that when he came to the Cowboys, Romo was also making the weekly offensive game plan.

I'd like to hear how many years that was going on. Could have still been true in 2016.

Romo carried so many guys who never looked the same without him. Escobar and Terrance evaporated from the league. Austin flamed and fizzled. Robinson exploded under Romo. Dez can't get a job. I don't think Witten gets a gold jacket without Romo or similar high end QB.

dude needs to shut his mouth until they show something against some solid opponents, i remember that 3-0 start after MIA all we heard was how everything was great..now it wasnt lmao

Awuzie how about simply cover your man when you are 1 on 1, which was a lot.. cant hack it, need a lot of S help, again shut your mouth.

become a star then talk

Garrett's failure showed most in game management. Can't think strategically. Can't adapt. Can't even use the clock. And tended to put the onus for wins on a weak defense, instead of the relatively strong offense.

Other teams players laughed about it. The two headed dc approach failed.

Starting with Garrett as HC in Waiting through to last year, the team has had dysfunctional coaching authority. I think with McCarthy, that's finally been straightened out. Hope so.

 

[MikeB80]

Essentially the same accept for being one of the better sack teams? That's a big difference to me. That's scheming.

except the 07 team had ellis for 13 games and spencer for 16.

that is the difference.

It might have been specific to a certain play or certain player, but he did say it.

There are situations where it's better to not look back.
- Playing against a elite speed WR with no deep help is one example.
- It can also be dangerous against QB/WR combos that like to run the stop and go route.

There have been some very good CBs that didn't always look back.

The Cowboys have had problems when they didn't look back while covering jump-ball type WRs.
- WRs like Dez in his prime were all about being jump ball WRs.
- Dez didn't win by getting open on great routes and he wasn't a big deep threat.
- He just needed to get reasonable body position and then the ball was thrown up. Some call it a 50-50 ball.

On the flip-side, for a CB covering Amari Cooper, the 1st, 2nd and 3rd priority is not to lose track of him on the field. Looking back can easily get CBs burned vs WRs like Cooper.

I think garretts offense was a poor fit for romo personally but i do not think this is a true statement. The 07 playoff game the offense had two 90 + yard drives and they should have come out of the locker room up 14-7 with the ball and a chance to put the nail in a tired beaten up team......instead the special teams made a mistake, then the secondary did and the giants scored. Basically just like they did in ny in november. that swung the game.

Romo made it all go though I do agree with but those were talented teams from 06-09.

Keep in mind that same giants team that knocked Dallas out knocked out mike McCarthy's offense twice...both times in Green Bay. in 2011 Mike McCarthy had a packers team that was 15-1 and lost at home to the giants. Dallas caught hell for losing to the giants people conveniently never mention that McCarthy's packers teams lost to them also.

That's what you get from a piss poor fraud HC and some senile DC dude the game passed by eons ago.

Thank you Jerry.

Stephen has corrected both problems. Jerry no longer has any links to current players or coaches.. it's stephen's show now.

 

[cern]

Oh really? Nice to know the HC had nothing to do with anything on defense.

How about players that say the same about the offense?

Leads me to believe that maybe he did.

If he knew anything about defenses, he would never have brought in monte. And he would have fired marinelli years ago. He would have promoted matt eberflus to dc 5 years ago.

Garrett wanted assistants that would not challenge him. That's why the best assistant under Garrett, OL coach Bill Callahan, departed for the same job with the Skins.

I thought monte kiffen was a jerry thing from his old cronies who were pushing him on jerry to fix the awful 12 defense? Wasn't this what happened?
marinelli came here to coach the defensive line and then had coordinator put on him because 13 was a complete train wreck.

firing marinelli after the 14 season to promote Matt Eberflus would have been a really odd move. The 14 defense was good, they were advantageous and closed out more than half the games with stops or takeaways.

I am a fan of eberflus and wanted him to get a HC interview here but he runs a similar defense to what marinelli runs here....Ben Bloom who was part of that migration of these guys from cleveland in 11 with rob ryan is back in Cleveland as an assistant running that cover 3 seattle defense also with Joe Woods another old tampa guy.

what makes callahan the best assistant.

I believe Hudson Houck, Mike Pope and Jimmy Robinson had much better nfl careers than Callahan.

KRichard has a ring. #LegionOfBoom

He obviously had no say so in Seattle, cuz our secondary looked like the #LegionOfBums

 

[Jake]

Pathetic that it went on for as long as it did, for sure.

That's what irritates me the most. Wasted years, wasted careers, while Jerry waited for his adopted son to produce.

"Irritates" is putting it mildly I think.

We had to put up with that failed, wannabe head coaching experiment for a decade. And as terrifying as it is to know, Jerry trying to do anything and everything he could to keep him around.

 

[JoeKing]

To finish the quote... "...not that it mattered."

 

[Silly]

and it only took the jones boys 10 years to realize JG was not a good OC, and another 10 years to realize JG was not a good HC.
Marinelli I think 8 years.
Those Jones boys are sharp! they dont miss a thing ! lol

It makes one wonder how Jerry was able to become a billionaire businessman?
