Charles Haley 'Cowboys DEF Players are a bunch of garbage'

[Majic]

Interesting interview with Charles Haley on the Michael Irvin Podcast today. As you would expect with Mike quite a bit of nonsense but when they talked about the Cowboys in depth, Haley had some very strong views including:

1) It's not the coaches, it's the players they are gutless.
2) D Law is no leader
3) Jaylon has not recovered from his foot injury
4) Dalton was a poor signing and has never shown he can handle the spotlight.
5) Recounted a bizarre story from last season when a Cowboys coach on DEF tried to explain to a player (who I think is still on the team) what he needed to improve and the player just walked out of the room.
6) Thinks nothing can be done for this season, need a complete overhaul of personnel

He then had some critical comments to say about Tom Brady and when he was with the Patriots organisation.

Well worth a listen

with regards to #5, that player still being on the team tells you all you need to know about this era of the Cowboys smfh

 

[D4KADON]

Paying Zeke was never a problem. It was paying players like Lawrence, Smith that much, considering they couldn't lead a thirsty horse to a pond.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Pretty much what I've said.......can't do anything now. But after the season......blow up the entire D ( except Hill, Diggs and LVE ) and rebuild it. Frankly, I expect MM to do just that. Would not surprise me at all to see a min 6-7 new starters on this D for 2021.

Quit reading right there...
Dalton was brought in to backup Dak, that is one of the most durable QBs in this league,, Dalton wasnt brought in here to ever replace Dak.
Dalton will still prove to be one of the best BU QBs in this league when its all said and done.

 

[Zordon]

Haley, Aikman...I respect any ex-Cowboy who speaks out against this garbage. I wish Roger would say something. He has been too quiet throughout the years. His words might actually change Jerry.

 

[Carson]

Haley always kept / keeps it real

Roger is too kind to ever speak ill of anyone in the Cowboys organization. But I'm sure he's feeling the same way we all are at this time.

 

[JohnsKey19]

Not sure I agree with Dalton being a "poor" signing. As a backup, thats about as good as you're going to find.

 

[TwentyOne]

The only one who has the power to change Jerry is money.

 

[ClappingCarrot]

I miss Charles Haley so much it's not even funny.

No, it wouldn't.
Jerry actually calls Mike and Emmett.
He has likely not spoken to Roger more than a couple times in his life.

But this isn't a Jerry driven show anyway.
His son has been in charge for a few years and Will McClay is the GM.
Jerry is the figurehead. If/when he passes I fully expect nothing changes.

The Cowboys made a great Head Coaching hire.
It may not work out but given the coaches they had to choose form they got their guy.
Most teams hit this hard by injuries would suck and Dallas does.
Good news is you do find out who fights for the team and who needs to move on.

That's true, like any back-up you only hope they need to step in for a few games, anymore than that and they will show why they are a back-up

Haley was one bad boy DE, but he never came off as one of the sharpest tools in the shed.

 

[Gaede]

Did he actually say what the thread title says? If so, that's just a perfect summation of this defense

 

[Reverend Conehead]

I've wondered if the defensive problems have a lot to do with the switch over to a different system -- or are they just bums unwilling to change?

Exactly ........I said in another thread, we may have to keep DLaw and Jaylon Smith ( contract reasons) but sure as hell doesn't mean they will be 2021 starters. I'm getting them some competition and make earn their starting job next season.

 

[RS12]

Always been a Charles Haley fan. Certainly cant fault him for his eyesight. Spot on.

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

The truth spoken. Per board thought we had the best backup in business. Go get Ryan Fitz. since he is being benched and they were 1 game out of first.
