he gets the hate because of his coaching; hiring Nolan, idiot game management on 4th downs, and lying about watching game tape to get hired. His pressers may be his strength.
was that "lying" thing ever verified as fact?

I mean I know he said that during a press conference last year, but it always came across as a sarcastic joke to me more than full-blown truth

would he really sit there in front of Jerry and everyone else and admit to something like that do you think?

I think I remember at the time that in every report I saw about his comments, not one mentioned that it was sarcastic or said as a joke. They reported what he said as a surprising admission, especially in front of Jerry. I even thought there were a couple of pics of Jerry not looking particularly happy when he said it. But that could have been the Johnny Walker was wearing off.

I had hopes for McCarthy...I think it was just because he wasn't Jason Garrett. He's just another Wade type coach. I prefer that to Clappy the Clown ALL DAY but it would be nice to have an innovative HC that can truly cook a meal. McCarthy has pretty much given away everything the team is going to try to do next season already by yapping his gums without pause. Not sure how smart that is.

Having Macado come in and bee the Asst head coach so to speak The Off and Def goes thru him???? That should be Mikes job seems like he has enough coaches to do his job for him. Makes me wonder about him being lazy in GB doesnt got some truth to it. Im not impressed with the hiring seems like its another Nolan deal.

we can use Pollard as the 5th wr in certain packages. Spread defenses out, make them choose their poison.Wouldnt need to take anyone off the field.
That isn’t a terrible idea. Just have a 4WR set with one back (10 personnel), and then the back flex out to the slot. It could cause some real issues for defenses. I certainly wouldn’t look for it very often but they could do it if the defense has the personnel that McCarthy is looking for.

Covering Cooper, Lamb, Gallup, Fehoko, and a split out Pollard would have to be a nightmare.

Of course, you could use Wilson (or another reserve WR) and Ezekiel Elliott instead of Fehoko and Pollard). That would be good if you actually planned to run the ball and not split the RB out. A 4 WR look will necessitate a dime defense, and Elliott is just the kind of back that could make defending the run out of your nickel, very problematic. If they go with some no huddle, they can catch defenses in a dime defense that will have to stop Elliott.

It is difficult to not be super excited to see what the offense will do with Dak, TSmith, LCollins, ZMartin, and Biadasz all back healthy and playing on the line.

They’ll be much improved with the hurt offensive players coming back. They’ll also have some 2nd year guys that should improve by leaps and bounds (Lamb, Biadasz).

lol well it cant hurt to have someone else working on game plans, they need help in that are badly.
If you want to see the presser

you have to scroll 5 or more minutes to get to it.
Mike did say he was making a conscious effort not to hire guys he has known lol :huh:
But clearly he just hired ben, and created a job for him, and he said he had a history with him !
not much was really said, and many dumb questions.

you need to watch the presser, the main reason for having pollard play wr, was the wr's were not available, so they needed someone to fill in
to run the drills.
so dont expect this to be some sort of new ideas in the stale cowboy playbook lol.

This is the first I’ve heard of Gardner interest, but if true I love it. That dude can come in and win games if we lose Dak again.

Found this on Rockport’s Instagram...guess someone’s not as big of Dak fan as we all thought.

McCarthy takes cronyism to another level.

I thought Garrett and his nepotism was bad ...
this is beyond common in sports period happens with all coaching staffs , look over there at the Jags that coach who everyone here wanted badly is the worst offender even past coaches and players, Meyer was coveted here, yet hes doing that wherever he goes.

so let it go this is normal around sports. Saying somehow our coaches are the worst its because we are blanketed in news from our team 24-7 365.... newsflash i see this all the time around all sports..

not 100% truth maybe it was necessary but if TP practices it well, it will be used a lot more then it may have been..that up to TP to shine when hes called on..

Cooper- Gallup- Lamb- Pollard -Zeke

If they go light with DBs for pass, then you have two RBs who can run, if they try and match with LBs then you have Pollard who can run a route like a WR.

Get your best players on the field
We've seen it numerous of times that doesn't matter when you have clipboard Charlie calling the plays. That Philly game was horrific. Moore benched our 2 WR'S on 4th & goal w/the game & division on the line. He called the same play & Philly caught it.

Yet we have ignorant fans blaming Dallas's quarterback.

I agree. I don’t expect the 4 WR look much at all. You’re right that Pollard was just a body at WR when they were short in practice. It is possible that they do that but highly unlikely.

MM talking about McAdoo being a game prep guy. Does that mean he will be scouting out "next week's opponent" all season? Like once we get into preparing to play the Bucs, is he going to already be scouting out the Chargers? ...and so on and so on?
