In other words, let's sign Earl Thomas!
Thomas rhymes with calmness.

Sounds like it rhymes with cancer more than calmness. :lmao2:

But I will not complain if he is signed.

I'm no expert and never played in the NFL. But, the winning teams I have played with had multiple aggressive alphas who wanted to lead. We all stepped up when it was needed. Once you step onto the field, whether in practice or a game, you dominate your responsibilities, end of story. That aggressive, confident attitude flows through the entire team. I have no issues with his statement, in fact, I love it.

Not sure what Tanks means but he's probably better off letting his game do his talking.

Lots of players in all sports could use that advice.

Im tired of hearing about Leadership. Its almost as pointless as talent the way everyone constantly brings it up.

The leader on this team this year is Mike McCarthy. If things go wrong it starts there.

the other leader is Prescott and seeing that its his top quality as everyone always states....well there should be no leadership debates.

Did he really only play 60% of defensive snaps? I never heard that. Can you list your source? Also never saw him constantly come out on third. The team exhcnaged linemen in waves. It was rarely one guy taking himself out. He's also remained one of the top defensive linemen in the game since signing that deal. He's not a sack artist and never will be, but he's a dominating presence on the line regardless.

It's not really news.I don't think any D-linemen has played more than 75% game time with Marinelli as defensive co-ordinator and mostly Lawrence has played in the 60-70% range. Last year it was 62.5%

Doesnt matter what he says sadly most fans on this site won't care or give him credit doe saying the right things lol

Imagine a guy that only played 60% of the snaps last year and constantly came out of the game on 3rd downs after getting a $100m deal is really talking about being a leader lol. What a joke

He’s made me regret publicly supporting him ever since he got his contract.

He learned “the talk” from Garrett

I don't wanna make too much of this but the implication ( alphas in the room that was to lead ) makes me pause a bit. Something I would hope tank and all the players understand, you don't manufacture leadership. Not sure what Tanks means but he's probably better off letting his game do his talking. We've talked about all the new talent and potential on the DL and that's great. But there are a lot of personalities in that room that's used to being on top. One thing for sure, they can all the talent in the world but they can't play as a unit/team it won't matter. Lucky for us, MM is exactly the kind of coach we need to keep them in check IMO.

"Just especially dealing with all the aggression & different types of alphas in the room that want to lead, it's really all about...maintaining the calmness in the room."

He REALLY needs to shut up and play outstanding this year.

why is MM the perfect coach for us with this group of guys?

Preach. Greg Hardy got outnumbered too

Thankfully most of the squares are gone.

Who else is tired of hearing this dude jack his jaw? He and Jaylon are, by far, the most talkative JAGs I’ve ever seen

According to one of his former players, ( think it was AJ Hawk ) he's the ultimate alpha himself.

Again, do you have a link for that? I'd love to see it. I agree, 75% seems closer to normal.

Go back through tape it was terrible when you would see ty craw and armstrong rushing the passer on 3rd downs

Crawford didn't play last year and Dallas ranked T-2 in third down stop % so this seems pretty baseless. They were 16th in 3-and-out per drive, but the difference between them and #1 was less than .1.

yeeh Marinelli and his dumb azz rotation packages..such that had both dlaw and quinn both on the sidelines during some red zone situations.
rod had his packages and sub rotations made out and determined no matter what game situations .

Tank's comments make sense to me! It's almost impossible to get results in a room when everyone is shouting.
So simple but so true! It also helps greatly to listen whenever important issues are being bandied about. :thumbup:
