My thoughts 2-0

I dont have the same view of things. For now just a little note:

I dont think SJ and JJ changed al lot. SJ has been becoming more involved and to me thats because of JJs age. But SJ was there before for a long time now and both could not handle the NFL demands.

To me still Garett is the one who changed a lot in Dallas. From putting the right guys at the right positions to making SJ listening to those people before making decissions.

The one thing that differs SJ from his father is that he is able to listen to people who actually know a bit about football. I dont even think SJ is making those contracts on his own. He has help also. I dont view JJ nor SJ as smart or intelligent persons. But again SJ seems to be able to put his ego in check where his fathers falters. But thats just my opinion.

The biggest point people have against Garrett is, that they think he is not a good HC because he lacks football IQ. To me thats true. But also to me a NFL HC has to be more of a manager than a football specialist. Thats the job of the assistant coaches.

And Garrett has assembled a good staff around him. Just look what our offense is able to do this year. Even with Garrett at HC. That to me is his approach: have all the pieces set in place. And to have those pieces in place thats where he puts his work in. He also established a great new attitude here. Just remember how the team played under Wade Philips. Last year when the season seemed to roll downhill the team still played hard. Thats a trait Garrett has and we should not underestimate it.

There is a good interview with DeWare where he explains how a NFL HCs job differs from college and highschool. I think it was at undisputed.

You can say whatever you want about Garrett. Dont like his mechanical style in interviews etc. I like what he brings to the franchise and hope he will stay here for a long time.


Last but not least i appreciate your write up Latin. Keep up your good work!

Hmmm...
So Garrett has low football IQ, you know, something he has done day and night all his life

BUT

he is a great manager. He’s so great it took him 9 years to manage to do something every other SB winning HC has done in less time? LOL

And LOL at the thinking that “Garrett assembled the staff around him” when it is well documented that Jerry has repeatedly overruled him in bringing in coaches over his objections and I wouldn’t call Linehan and Marinelli as your OC and DC a “great staff” in the first place

Great write up and can't disagree on anything but one thing. Wilson player a ton of snaps at FS in preseason. I thought he was a SS as well but he is just as good at FS.

He was playing that against scrubs. I like him and his potential but i dont know if he can do it against starters just yet. Would love it if he prove that statement wrong. Since he was drafted i have been a fan. Last yr he had a down yr, the yr before the kid was all over the place.

The OL is back to being the best OL in the NFL and its not even close. Dak has been sacked once and really hasnt been hit much at all. Guy is getting huge pockets to throw, and him and the RBs getting huge lanes to run. Tyron looks better then hes looked in a long time it seems. Frederick is back aswell which to me is more suprising then Tyron.

I keep seeing that LBer play is bad, which is ridiculous. Its not bad its just thats the area teams are focused on and game planning. With Lawrence who still cant be 100% back from surgery teams are putting more emphasis on Smith and Vander Esch. The healthier Lawrence gets along with Quinn and eventually Gregory we will see more plays and better production across the entire defense because you cant block or game plan for everybody. This is what makes for very good defenses.

Final thing, i think Dallas has found its slot for the future in Devin Smith. If he continues to do what he's doing i think the team will extend him before he can reach FA. He barely turned 27 so he has probably 4 prime yrs left. He's finally healthy and you can see the talent he's got. Blown S or not he already had Norman beat to the inside before said blown coverage was made. Devin got the side right off the snap. Maybe its not a TD but its a big gain even with the S help.

Its been awhile, life(work) sometimes gets in the way of time.

Jerry and Stephen have learned from past mistakes and are building a team to last instead of yr to yr. Its exciting times to be a Cowboy fans, just make sure you dont miss it by thinking ur smarter then the team. Be a fan and root.

I’m thrilled with this team’s start. This is the best Cowboys team I’ve seen since maybe 2007.

But this is a long 16 game season, and every good team will be tested by adversity and challenges you can’t see coming. It’s why they don’t crown anyone in September. This team is capable of winning it all. But we’re a long way from knowing exactly what this team will actually become.

I’m hopeful and excited. But I guarantee there will be challenges ahead. The gateway to a championship is guarded by adversity. It’s time we showed we can overcome all obstacles. Go Cowboys!
