That was just a funny way to describe it. I laughed out loud.
I'm old school football. I forgot more about this franchise than some people will ever know. Don't get old LOL I'm from the old Cowboys fan forum used to get pretty brutal brutal there. But we never held grudges s that was the important thing. Everything was on an individual basis new subject each time. Some people here can't let things go even to the next subject I battled with many here we all get along afterwards. Most LOL well that's how I feel men should handle things. does no one any good to keep it inside. Or hold a grudge

I know I have spoken about this before, probably just didn't explain myself properly. Is this the reason tacos no longer with the team. I think it's so much more important than some people may understand. It's a battle out there I want to fight next to Brothers family
You really are making this alot harder to understand that what is necessary so I'll do my best to simplify:

Marinelli fought in the Vietnam war; was both wounded and caught Malaria.

Taco is the quintessential Millennial.

Unless you yourself are a Millennial, that really should tell you everything you need to know.

Culture of the locker room is very important to me. I only used Taco as an example. But because he's the topic of discussion it went over the top

I am also a Vietnam veteran. I don't understand your point of that. He's a disaster has a defensive coordinator right now. In my opinion. 00 Millennials. LMAO. I have three daughters I don't know what it is with them. I can teach them manners I can teach them respect. But I can't get them away from the rest. The internet. Lol

Thank you for your service Amigo. That was one tough war!
I have neuropathy nerve damage from the military. I rely on speaking text. That's why some of my post seemed gobbled. Google changes some of my wording to what it thinks I said. I never puts the periods of the question marks or the cam is in the right place LOL how big is that company. Cam is they took as, cama cama. Lol

I read this a day or so ago. I am trying to locate the article. If I am incorrect. My apologies.


no worries. His on the field performance isn't the issue. If Miami or whomever can get his mind right he will be ok, probably not great.

It's okay you can say he may be great we have no idea how he's going to be on a different team. I had no problem with him

I was excited to see him active at the end of last year recording 4-5 tackles a game playing early downs to end the season. Then when he finally got a chance to play Pre-season he did well. I wish him well, hope he gets it together for someone.

I've lived through alot of Dallas Cowboys locker rooms and I have to say this is probably one of the best I've witnessed in all my time watching football....even better than the Dynasty because the Dynasty wouldn't make it in an era that has the internet and social media.

I wouldn't describe Marinelli as a disaster...I think he does pretty well with the ingredients he is given. Taco is the only first rounder we've seen in these parts on the DL since Marcus Spears and Demarcus Ware were both drafted in the 1st round in 2005.

If you too are a vet, you absolutely should understand the disconnect between Marinelli and Taco. Just a guess, but I think he probably came across as entitled and couldn't handle criticism...but again, that's just a guess.

Taco had the Randall syndrome. One more month onboard and he would have stolen some cologne from somewhere. ;)..

It a comes down to production. Period. The rest is people blowing hot air. If he'd gotten 12 sacks last year and nothing else was different, he'd be a starting DE for this team.

In the military. That's what you do . you have an argument get out of your system and you still best friends. That's all I'm saying. And I'm replying because it isn't about Taco lol I'm done with him

I hear ya. That's what I figured you meant. But couldn't resist the joke.

I called him a disaster simply because he's all over the place. We had the number one run-stopping defense I believe three seasons ago. And then he juggled the defensive line around and put Crawford on the end. A few all the moves and we just not a solid maybe it's the rotation the depth I don't know he's constantly changing things up and sometimes not for the better
