Sean Lee exposes a defensive flaw in one of their defensive play calls vs the opponents offensive play calls during the game. Dissects immediately afterwards, with a coach on sidelines, and he says something like.."this play call is asking me to be in two places at once." Very smart football player.
Funny how that coach is no longer here. The one thing that can be said about this series...It exposed why every move was made this off season.
Tyron Smith back injury...draft Conner Williams
Hitchens leaves/Lee constant injury history...draft LVE
Bryant's drops....draft Gallup/C.Wilson
No Gregory/draft Armstrong.
David Irving suspension(lack of trust)/trade for Ward
Elliott suspension.../draft Scarbourgh
Prescott pick 6's...draft White
Witten retires...draft Schultz
And even with all those moves...I still don't think we are done. I stil think we will bring in a starting CB....not a free safety. I think they leave Jones there.
Might even bring in another RB...change of pace...Andre Ellington? Not buying Tavon Austin as a RB
Might bring in another LG to challenge for the starting spot...I think we have seen the last of Chaz Green. I know people keep saying C. Williams was drafted as a G...but I just don't see him being that guy. I think Tyron Smith's playing days are numbered...and It's just a matter of time before CW is your starting LT.
Still think NT might be a spot they look to upgrade. Not sold on Ash or Price as the RKG. Think Collins is better suited to be a rotational 3tech...
As for the coaching...not a lot of accountability there. Thought you would see more one on one stuff. Instead you get coaches making funny videos....which explains alot. Marinellie 0-16 Lions...and his tendency to blow leads....Needs no further explaination. If your going to put a coaching staff full of *** clowns together....then your going to get these kind of results.
Lastly...The one thing that really stood out to me was...the Jones' family sure looked like they were a hell of a lot more interested in their grandsons football team...rather than the Dallas Cowboys. They run the Cowboys like a business. In it for the money. Which is sad. You got guys like Witten laying it all out there ...
And Sean Lee...Where in the hell are the defensive coaches? He was the guy conducting the team meetings. No wonder the defense looked lost out there when he is hurt.
Too much dysfunction in that building...not enough accountability. A lot of back stabbing. and in the end...sure seemed like everyone is looking for a scapegoat. For all the preaching Garrett did about "owning it"...sure seems like everyone was ducking for cover/hiding.
Hopefully 2018 will be different...but I highly doubt it. It's a circus atmosphere...The lack of attention to detail....the little things like Elliott consistanly running w/ the football in the wrong hand...never being addressed. Lack of blitz pick up. Lack of coaching adjustments in game...that Atlanta game was beyond absurd. Coaches not knowing what to do...
All of it adds up to losing football....which is what you will see if you watch this entire series.
