MNF Countdown reveals Cowboys no longer grade players after each game

[Redball Express]

Booger says that under Marinelli and Richard they graded players play each game.

That now under McCarthy and Nolan..

that has been eliminated.

Booger says this removes accountability from players and coaches.

Players do not know where they are in their play.

This was amazing to me. I think I would prefer knowing what I am being judged by myself.

You guys?

What do you think?

If you screw up too much, and get benched, you know you are at the grade of F.
That is all they need to know.

Actually grading grown men after each game seems a bit grade school. Some or many may take offense to that.
Threat them as men, and correct things and point them out in film sessions.

Marinelli made Hill sign a 3rd grade accountability contract......just sayin’....

If someone sucks and needs to improve, then grow a pair and tell them. There has to be accountability.....period.

 

[Carson]

I mean they are NFL players.

Shouldn’t they mostly know when they stink or not

 

[AmericasTeam81]

Where’s the accountability?

 

[WoodysGirl]

I highly doubt they don't grade the players after each game. I think the system in how they did it is changed to something that aligns with McCarthy analytics now.

 

[Darkhound]

This team SUCKS plain and simple.

His name is Booger. Enough said.....

How do we know there isn't any? They do not make fines and such public knowledge. Not too often.

According to some on here, accountability is someone getting fired or a statement cut after each game. Or it seems that is what they want.

Nolan said they do grade and evaluate players for what that is worth.

Red did he say removing accountability was a GOOD thing?

Am I reading that right?

If so...why is that? Think I'm missing the context.

I think most teams high school, college, and pro grade their players. It seems odd they wouldn't, especially on the defensive side of the ball, but maybe that's why xavier woods thinks it's OK to take plays off.

 

[Sydla]

FWIW, I think this came up before a few years ago. Other teams don't "grade" their players either after games. Some do, some don't.

I don't think this is much of a story.

 

[HungryLion]

Grading is not the same as watching tape, evaluating and pointing out mistakes or poor play.

they may just not assign number or letter grades to the evaluations.


If they tell a player “on this play, you didn’t do this when you should have done that. You can’t do that it hurts the team”.

that’s not grading them. But it’s holding them accountable.

 

[Sepia]

Bucky Brooks said something similar on The Break last week. They actually had stat sheets that talked about their effort, plays when they “loafed” and missed assignments, etc. It helped with accountability.

 

[Cebrin]

Hill's done for the year. He's the poster boy for this year.

accountability is a HUGE problem with the cowboys and it start with jerry. when the gm has ZERO accountability because he also is the owner how can any one else?

We used to grade players, took about 3 hours, with the technology we have with film nowadays, there really isn't a need for it. The film doesn't like!
