Troy Aikman on the Dalton hit

TheMarathonContinues · Oct 27, 2020

I agree with Troy. If you see someone get shot is your first reaction to grab your gun and shoot the guy or is it to see if the guy is ok? McCarthy is to blame for why his players are getting attacked. If MCCarthy is so big and bad how about he go out there and show some balls?

If that was Troy hit like that, the whole team would have come down on Bostic. Cooper, Zeke and the sideline should have came down on Bostic. The team's only "fight" is a slogan on a t-shirt. This team does not have pride, grit or any of the traits of the great teams have.

The whole team is woeful.

I would spit beechnut in Bostic's eye.

You have to ask what would Mark Tunie have done? He was Troy’s protector.

I think Troy makes a good point, not to mention these guys have no veteran on that Oline to set the tone, it really is a bunch of inexperienced players trying to stay afloat in a storm.

I personally I think a rookie by the named of Eric Williams would of knock someone's *** out on the spot, No If's or No And's ' about it! If you don't believe me go ask Reggie White, he can reach at 1-800- Heaven, he'll tell ya how mean Williams was.

troy, are you telling us erik williams wouldn't have taken somebody out? larry allen wouldn't have snapped somebody in half? charles haley wouldn't have retaliated? come on.

it my point ive made but no one wants to listen say the team has no heart..i say in the heat of the moment most didnt actually see the hit and one may have but ran over to help before retaliation..its not that big of deal yet guess what SM frenzy catches fire..

How many Eric Williamses have you seen since Eric Williams?

I agree with Troy and blame Little Mac for a lack of leadership. I thought his head was still in the helmet when he got hit and then he just laid there.

But in the same video, whach what Amari Cooper does. He does nothing. He doesn't react in any way. This is typical Amari Cooper.

Cooper isn't an aggressive guy. He is a productive one, though. If you're looking for an Enforcer, WR is not really the place to look anyway.

I thought the same thing. And if you watch the video, Steele does turn to Bostic at one points and give him the raised shoulders, "***, dude" look. A couple of guys rushedover to Andy to see if he was okay.

Amari was just standing there like, "dam, that looked like it hurt".

This coming Sunday - November 1st - will mark the 50th anniversary of the fabled late game brawl between the AFL powerhouse rivals Chiefs and Raiders, when KC QB Len Dawson was helmet-speared by OAK DE Ben Davidson with his entire body while on the ground after running for a 1st down. KC WR Otis Taylor immediately went after Davidson, throwing a punch straight into his face. That wild finish (in what should have been a Chiefs victory but wound up a 17-17 tie) was the topic of the week for pro football fans across America.

Our 3rd OT was starting last week at LT
Our 5th tackle at RT
One of our pre season starters is playing
It’s amazing there is not a sack on every drive

Larry Allen would have ripped his head off and **** down his throat.

I miss LA.

The Fonz · Oct 27, 2020

With all do respect Troy is wrong..it is not about a fight it is about showing emotion that this player is part of the family......i grantee you if it was Dak not Andy the reaction would have been so different and rightfully so
you can't win with this garbage mentality

king987 · Oct 27, 2020

Yeah I did feel like it was a jump to OH MY GOD, WHY DIDN'T THEY START A FIGHT? Typical ESPN stuff. Would it have been amusing? Sure.

But if you watch the replay, players came to check on Dalton. Sure, they didn't react like when Dak got hurt. But news flash. He. Ain't. Dak. Sorry, just the truth.

Meanwhile, if they DID start a fight, some idiot on ESPN would be saying how much of a mess and out of control these players are. Just the way the media is.

Stak78 · Oct 27, 2020

Marc Columbo was the last offensive lineman to show any pride and toughness. We need more guys like him.

lukin2006 · Oct 27, 2020

Send them to hockey games. They'll learn from the Canadians how to answer the bell Everyone of those Cowboys all 52, of them including the coached are cowherds...

That was despicable...

lukin2006 · Oct 27, 2020

Claude Lemieux cheaps shot Kris Draper '96 playoffs, the minor reaction from Red Wing players...but they let Lemieau payback was coming...

Following season...payback Candian style...Darren McCarty grew up just down the road from...

Or Fred.

Amari though, he doesn't really have the emotions many do. I would say he is probably an introvert, and has enough things going on in his head to keep him happy.
I kind of understand him, because I am the same way. Although I would have went nuts on the guy for that hit.

Curious to what Tyron or Martin would have done, if they were out there.

Not to mention, I am pretty sure Bostic would shove him 15 yards with one hand.

Tyron could fold Bostic into a pretzel, if he wanted to.

Maybe their feelings were hurt from Dalton yelling at them for letting people run straight at him.

Dude kinda popped a couple times last year after finally getting sick of the o-line he had. Think about what it must be like
to come from a crap organization, that couldn't protect the QB, to another crap organization that can't protect the QB.

I am sure someone was selling him on how great it would be. How amazing Dallas is going to be this year, blah blah blah blah...
Same things we get sold every year lol.
