Bennett "The enemy against greatness is the unwillingness to change."

[ShortRound]

I can't post the source tweet but this is greatness. Make Bennett Coach.


In fiery locker-room speech, Cowboys DL Michael Bennett challenged teammates to raise bar.
"The enemy against greatness is the unwillingness to change. We’ve got to be able to change some of the things that we’ve been doing to demand more from ourselves."

“The champions are the people that get remebered,” Bennett said when asked about his message, via Michael Gehlken ...... “They don’t remember who got the biggest contract. A whole bunch of great players got great contracts, but they don’t get remembered as champions. Champions are the ones who get the gold plates and the jackets and they understand what it takes to win. That’s just a certain mindset. That’s just a certain ability to play tough in adverse moments.”

“It’s important that we understand that it’s a small window that we have,” Bennett said, via ....... “We’ve got all the great players. The only thing we’ve got to do is execute in adversity. The enemy against greatness is the unwillingness to change. We’ve got to be able to change some of the things that we’ve been doing to demand more from ourselves and become the people we want to be.

“Every opportunity is in front of us, but it’s just on us to capitalize. To win, you’ve got to sacrifice a lot. It’s going to hurt. It’s painful. You play through injury, but you do it because you have to. To win that championship, to win that Lombardi, there’s no feeling like that. And that takes a lot.”

Nice speech but it's not going to save this season.

Clean house after the season. Too bad that won't include senile Jerry and his accomplished-nothing son.

"Execute better." -Jason Witten for the last decade

 

[kskboys]

Yes. X a gadzillion. Jerry, he's speaking to you.

That’s a great statement. But where in the Cowboys organization is the impetus to change?

 

[endersdragon]

Got to feel sorry for him, got traded from the Pats to this

They'll be looking at a new kicker.
Charlotte just ordered some more artwork.
Jerrah took 2 cubes in his glass of Johnnie Walker.

Love this guy.

All sounds great!

what’d he deliver on the field today?

This is the type of leadership we needed 10 years ago from Ware, Romo, etc. Jerry would’ve woken up by now. Dez would say this and he’d be called a malcontent.

JG: "Nah Michael. We good. We do what we do. What's this change stuff? That's non-sense. You're just being a malcontent."

the organization is great in terms of what the joneses are about. So why change

 

[jwooten15]

Wow. Chill moment. I wonder if it reached some of the dense, money hungry players and coaches in that locker room?!

I’m so pleasantly shocked by Bennett’s presence. I thought he seemed disinterested when he first got here. But boy, was I wrong

 

[ShortRound]

Damn ya'll I'm pissed off again. lol. Ten years of vapid nothing from Garrett.

I really wasn’t too invested in watching the game. It was on but I was chillin with the fam

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

Unfortunately this guy only has 4 more games left as a Cowboy. It was worth the try.

 

[ChronicCowboy]

God this stuff is just depressing...really. How did Jerry let this go for so long? Senility, money and booze I guess.

 

[DakBringMeBack]

Eh, who the Hell is this guy to come in and act like he's anyone to the Cowboys.

Just got cut by the Patriots. That tells me all I need to know. He's really never stuck anywhere. He's the one that probably needs to change; and part of the problem.

It's not just Garrett tho. Like @rocyaice said above he's had his enablers in that locker room.
