Recap: 105.3 FM: Nate Newton on Deion Sanders to Cowboys Rumors

[VaqueroTD]

• I was at Deion's crib the other day. Every time I go we walk a mile or two. The entire time all he talked about was Colorado. I kept waiting for Cowboys talk but he never touched the subject. I was like "wow, this dude ain't even thinking about the Cowboys."
• Maybe Deion wants to keep it a secret, but you know Deion, if you throw some more cherries on that contract, he'll take it. Jerry and Deion are the 2 top salesmen in the state of Texas. They both like to scratch their back to get the limelight.
• I think Deion can coach at this level. Does he want to go to the Cowboys? I don't know.. he goes from being the man at Colorado to the second man. There's a lot of wishes that won't get filled with the Cowboys. Guys that say "this is the way it has to go" don't go to Dallas. Everything is run by committee by the Jones Family since Jimmy left. No knock on them, it just is.
• Deion knows how to talk to people. He shoots people straight. There's no portal in the NFL though, and a salary cap. You're coming into a core of players you can't touch like CeeDee and Dak. You have to build a relationship, which I think Deion can, he can talk to men, just like the kids. But he has so much tied into the cap with a few players it might prevent him from wanting to build the team he wants. And with personnel that has just as many input on the players, it's harder.
• I think Jerry and Deion could share the spotlight. When he first came here, they did a bunch of commercials together. Mr. Jones has never had a problem sharing the spotlight, he only has a problem when you take it all away. He wants his respect and part of the pie. So I don't think Deion would ever overshadow him. I think the most problems would be trying not to let this thing get out of control. This would be 24/7 Greatest Show on Earth. I'd probably have 3-4 more talkshows!
• The culture we got from Deion when he came as a player was he took away 1/3 of the field. Defense could focus more on run, be aggressive and blitz more, and offense knew they had 2 more possessions. We knew when guys like Haley arrived with his sacks and forced fumbles, or Deion and his interceptions, we were going to get more possessions and better field position.
• You can fight for it, push it, lean practices, but to be physical and tough your players have to have that hunger. Some Coaches have a knack for finding that and talking to scouts "Does he have dawg in him?" You have to alter your practices. You don't let the Rams come in and control your practice like what happened to us in TC. Bothered me personally that they physically handled our guys on the Homefront. I knew right then these Boys weren't a tough team. I felt like going into the season we weren't going to be a physical team again. I want maulers. I think they're on the right track with guys like Hoffman and our LG. We have a few tough guys, but just not enough.
• Not surprised McCarthy didn't return. The expectations were correct. We needed to see an NFC Championship Game. I thought it was over after the Packers Playoff defeat. I thought Jones was going to rebuild the team, but suddenly they are working with less than before. Then the injuries hit and when they had to fill holes with late free agency I knew McCarthy was probably doomed.
• As much as I like Jason Garrett, did he have a bunch of suitors when he left? Mcarthy's name will still come up in coaching hires. I liked him. I think it was a personnel problem. Not a Coach problem. A lack of right personnel.
• It's not who I want, it's who this organization wants. They let a guy they admired and loved walk away in Kellen Moore. Moore didn't do well with the Chargers but the Eagles forced Sequon Barkley on him, cause he doesn't want to run the ball. When Moore interviews, if he says the right things, he's the Coach. Jerry loves familiar people. Always has. Moore knows how to work with the Jones and not push against them. Will he have the right words to motivate the entire team? I know Dak likes him, but that's only one guy. It would be all about his coordinators and assistants. If they are weak, it's not going to go well for Moore.
• The Witten talk - I laugh when people say Deion isn't ready for this. You think that, you better not put this Mac truck on Witten. He ain't ready. Then you would REALLY need some strong coordinators.
• Darren Woodson in HOF. He should have been there already. Conspiracy against Cowboys. Woodson altered the game. He was the first safety to walk down in the slot. We were one of few teams that never took their defense off the field . We didn't have a nickel package. We just brought Woodson down in the box. He played dime backer too if you need it. So this guy revolutionized the game. If you knew football, you would not ignore Woodson. Yes, he didn't have all the interceptions, but they didn't ask that of him. He made all the right plays they asked of him. He was a four down player, ST player, did everything!

 

[darthseinfeld]

People keep saying Jerry loves familiar people, but two of his last three head coaching hires he had no previous connections too.

You could add Parcells to that, but that was a whole different thing

 

[TRUTH87]

Nate: “I think it’s gonna be Mr. Moore”

man, this truly sucks. media is also starting to “justify” a Moore possible hire.

“oh he knows the joneses …dak had amazing seasons with him… he’s the smartest person in the room… nfl teams say he will be a good HC… “

the writing is there. i refuse to accept it

 

[goshann]

Sanders sounds like he is out
It’s going to moore

 

[Kwyn]

I really enjoy Nate’s take. One of the better summaries out there right now.

Most of these guys are just regurgitating click bait without adding anything to the discussion. Their entire opinion is just a tweaked version of the person who first said it. Nate actually has his own opinions.

Thanks for taking the time to write it up.

 

[dagreat1_87]

Appreciate you taking the time to write this...

Moore has disaster written all over it. If we're being honest, it's likely to be a disaster regardless of who is picked cuz of all the other things Nate mentioned about how things are here.

Jerry sucks

I will say this...if I was putting a committee together to put together a team....I got 2 guys so far....Risen and Nate. Your gonna get the truth ...and that's what I want.

Jerry sucks

Moore is a disaster? Hell....Deion isn't even a coordinator ....all he is a talkshow...

Jerry has done this for years. He puts out feelers thru the media and they pass it on to the fans. Then the fans aren't as mad. He's really prepping us for Kellen Moore and conditioning us. Does this not sound like we're in a cult? Lmao

 

[MarcusRock]

You people on this board can't handle the truth. Lol.

 

[dagreat1_87]

I'd rather get a year of Deion causing Jerry heartburn than 10 years of HC on the job training for baby Garrett

 

[Carson]

Sanders sounds like he is out
It’s going to moore

It’s all for clicks and show right now

0% chance it’s happening.

Wait. I thought his media puppets were prepping us for McCarthy coming back?

Then for a day or two, the media was prepping us for Deion.

Now they are prepping us for Moore.

I’m sure one of these times they will be right but isn’t it possible that the media just churns the hottest gossip day after day after day? And why? Because fans eat it up.

Nate knows the JJ drill.

Agreed. Jerry is tougher to pigeonhole than many seem to want to make him out to be when it comes to coaches. He's been all over with it: successful college coaches (who he had a prior relationship with), an offensive coordinator he had no ties to, a defensive coordinator from in-house, a Super Bowl-winning coach he had no ties to, a defensive coordinator he had no ties to, an offensive coordinator from in-house whom he groomed for the position and a Super Bowl-winning coach he had no ties to.

It was always going to be Kellen

Thanks for the recap Vaq! Great job.

It was over after the GB game. Exactly like I've been saying for a year. The expectations were there. We knew them. McCarthy knew them. Cowboys fell far short and got ran out of their own stadium well before halftime in that game. By some miracle McCarthy returned. No more miracles are left though and now he's gone. That chapter of Cowboys history is over.

.yep, the GB game was nail in coffin for me. I knew then McCarthy wasn't the guy.

Yup...in summary, it's justified because it's "comfortable". Win or lose, don't matter to Daddy and Cap Boy.
