I have no problem with players talking. frankly, I think they should do it when they're playing, not after they're gone. cooper also criticized the offense last year. I had no problem with it. but in the case where you're no longer with the club, talking negatively is a cheap shot. have the testicular fortitude to say it while you're on the team. just do it constructively. cooper did. hurns did. seems someone in the front office took note.
If you think that you're getting 'truth' from people inside the building, you're being naive. Truth comes after people are no longer getting a paycheck, and no longer beholden to an organization. Have you never heard the phrase 'toeing the company line'?
Think about your own life experiences, you're not going to 'bit the hand that feeds you' and speak negatively of the person or group that pays you.
And I'll reiterate, this isn't simply two guys making outrageous claims that can be dismissed as 'sour grapes' these are two guys who have been on the inside,
confirming what we fans, tons of commentators, writers, and current and former players have said. The Dallas Cowboys run a rudimentary systems that makes it harder on their players and easier on opponents to figure out. Uninventive, uninspired coaching puts the players at a distinct disadvantage.
This is simply public confirmation of what we knew from someone who's lived it.
