Dwayne Harris Comments

[XxTDxX]

Heard an interview on a Giants podcast where they interviewed Dwayne Harris and asked him to compare and contrast the Cowboys/Giants environment

Said Cowboys practices are much more intense and competitive.. Described everyone as being on edge

Said Giants practice is more "Professional" and that guys have fun and look out for each other's safety

Also commented on the Dez/Patmon situation and said that that is normal for Cowboys practices and that Dez is just that way and that it isn't a big deal

Additionally said that the Giants were an overall more finesse group

Just thought it was interesting to hear what he had to say.. I am glad that we are on the intense side of things rather than the finesse side of things lol

You can tell Dallas has more intense practices than the Giants. The Cowboys are just more physical.

 

[Romonater]

Anyone agree with this. This makes me respect Jason Garrett a bit more than i do already.

 

[Beats_By_Zeke]

whether or not you agree with Harris comments. Coughlin has gotten that team two superbowls by doing so.

 

[dwreck27]

Country club atmosphere? Sounds like the post JJ years here

Said Giants practice is more "Professional"

Yup, everytime I read about Garrett and the Cowboy's practices, all I think of is how unprofessional they are. Romo, Witten, Dez, the OL, SLee, Scandrick, and the rest of that d. So unprofessional. No one takes practice seriously.

 

[CATCH17]

I'm sure Coughlin would love to have practices more like Jason's but he's caught so much heat in the past for it that I am sure he has scaled back.

Wow. How things have changed around here. Not too long ago, it was a completely opposite conversation. God Bless Jason Garrett!

There isn't much you could write that would have made me happier about the Cowboys culture under Jason.

Fantastic.

I don't think that's what he was saying.

Seems like he meant more professional in the sense that they are given more freedom-- they're expected to hold themselves accountable and the practices are more laid back because of it.

So laid back is more professional. Otay.

 

[MichaelWinicki]

The Giants are weak.

Exactly how I read it as well.

I hate when reporters do that. I wish players that don't have hard feelings would learn how to give more neutral answers. I would prefer he not give the pundits any room to bash either organization (unless it was Philly).

 

[guag]

So laid back is more professional. Otay.

Laid back doesn't necessarily equal unprofessional, lazy, unaccountable, etc. I work in an office environment that certainly has a laid back atmosphere, but at the same time all employees individually are professional in the manner in which they address each other and clients.

 

[silver]

We just have a better team overall and that translates as us being physical and them being finesse.

I actually think the interview is a lot more negative toned than the OP makes it seem. At least thats the way I take it. http://www.nj.com/giants/index.ssf/2015/08/difference_between_cowboys_and_giants_practice_dwa.html

The Giants are known as a professional, well-run organization from top to bottom. They've won two Super Bowls over the past eight seasons. Some consider their head coaching job the "gold standard."

The Dallas Cowboys, under the ownership of Jerry Jones, are known as the wild, crazy, impulsive America's Team. They haven't won a Super Bowl in the 21st century. They're the kind of organization that signs defensive end Greg Hardy, a domestic abuser, and promotes its training camp brawl on the team's website and social media. With the Cowboys, the owner makes the personnel decisions because, well, he's also the general manager.

Jones never shies away from attention. He doesn't worry about, say, putting Chris Christie in the owners' box and exchanging awkward hugs and high fives in front of millions.

The two organizations couldn't be any more different in how they operate. New Giants wide receiver Dwayne Harris, after signing a lucrative deal as a free agent this offseason following four years in Dallas, sees a stark contrast in how the two teams practice as well.

"The way [the Giants] practice, it's so much fun. I love the way we practice," Harris said in this week's 'Talk Is Cheap' podcast episode.

"[In Dallas] it's a lot of just ... arguing. There is always arguing. People [are] always arguing. And here, we have a good time, we have fun, go out and have practice as professionals.

"In Dallas, it's more intense. There is a lot more buildup. We do one-on-ones or defense vs. offense. I think there is more intensity there. This is more professional. Everyone is trying to keep each other safe."

Arguing, huh? With wide receiver Dez Bryant and cornerback Orlando Scandrick on the roster? Who would've thunk it?

It sometimes extends beyond arguing as well.

"In Dallas, it's like all-out brawl," said Harris, several hours before the Giants had anugly fight of their own on the practice field. "It's an all-out brawl."

 

[Bullflop]

Question: If a player on any team is asked to make a comment comparing his current team and his former one, what do you think his inclination as to an acceptable response might be? Would it favor his current team or his former one? Pretty simple, right? I'm suggesting the nature of Dwayne Harris' response was highly predictable. I'm inclined to take Harris' comments with a grain of salt.

Candidly, I don't think the culture in New York is conducive to hard-nosed coaching. Coughlin tried that a while back and it backfired dramatically. Maybe they're the ones that have a faulty culture nowadays. Could it be the worm has turned and we're the ones with a harder working culture these days? I think that may very well be the case here and that's a good thing.

He was probably looking for the best term to use other than "weak sauce".

The article is incredibly slanted (completely ignoring Many, many things including the Cowboys 12-4 record last year and them being 5-0 against the Giants over the last 5).

I think Harris' comments are honest. He may prefer one over the other, but it's still greener grass for him right now. It'll soon turn brown in our shadow.
