How do you make decisions about playing time in a lost season, between veterans and guys who could help you in the future?

Wouldn’t it have made sense to be playing guys like Garrett Gilbert, Tyler Biadasz, Bradlee Anae, Francis Bernard and getting them reps instead of Andy Dalton, Joe Looney, Dorance Armstrong and Joe Thomas?
Great question. I've love to know the answer. And there are more than the 4 players listed who should have got more playing time.

there are a lot of questions he needs to answer, but he wont, and nobody will ask them.
There was a link on that article, that said romo predicted a kc vs TB superbowl back in Nov !! right after they lost to kc 27-24.
So if they played them that close once, maybe they can beat them.

What you said at your press conference made a lot of sense about the DEF, so why the change in philosophy after one year?
Haha because he was basically told to do so.

That and the results were historically bad.

When you have an opportunity to win the division, you play your starters, or in a lot of cases, the next player up. I could see playing scrubs if the season was over with a couple games to go.

Truth be told, I still haven’t figured out yet what McCarthy has brought here that’s so unique, ..what stands out about himself ?

- Better Game manager ?

- Extension of help for Kellen moore ? ( per RBs)

- Only things that has helped is Bones Fassel as a special teams, and OL coach Joe Philibin who despite a few IF decisions, did an admirable job with an injury riddle, make shift OL.

- And a decision to keep on Kellen and Doug as front line offensive assistants instead of replacing them with his own.
Not only that, ..but it still seems like it was clearly Kellen’s offense instead of McCarthy’s offense.

- McCarthy’s biggest fail by far is Mike Nolan. When we needed a stand out upgrade over Marinelli, Richard era,.. we ended up having a vet DC that McCarthy personally brought in but who delivered the
The worst (or 2nd worst) defense in Cowboys history,…

I’m one of those that tend to believe Cowboys management is more the responsible for the hiring new DC Dan Quinn than McCarthy himself.
I find it is as a coincidence that one or two Quinn’s new asst. coaches hires happens to be familiars with McCarthy, ..ala Joe Whitt J. .,..Al Harris, Scott Curley, along with Lett and Edwards.
I thought MM being an experienced vet HC with skins on the wall credentials, SB winning resume, and a reputed offensive mind would make out be an legit HC advantage over Garrett..
And a guy that’s an impact factor in in-game adjuster on the move.

Don't worry they'll move it in a bit. Right now they're still working out the kinks for the new weight watchers news forum. I think they've got all of the Romo stuff already, but some of the Zeke details haven't been finalized just yet.

i already do not like McCarthy's decision to not allow his coaches to go to the Senior Bowl ..where coaches can see and review and talk to these coaches upfront (within protocol distances) ...add to that there will be no NFL Combine this year ,..and it seems like we're being bushwacked and left out and behind
by our own HC.. paranoid !!

He did the same thing last year. McCarthy explained the practice setup didn't benefit the coaches. He also said that being in year one, the coaching staff needed to be together to evaluate the roster.
Since nearly the whole defensive staff have been replaced - it is a 'year one' do-over.
