News: Antwaun Woods and Trysten Hill sent home from practice on Tuesday for being late for meeting

Appears Hill also has had trouble focusing in meetings.

I wouldn't say he's a bad apple but the red flags of him having a bit of a motor and discipline problem that rubbed the new UCF coaches the wrong way might not be inaccurate either after today's news.

No evidence for that aside from your inference.

But yeah. That's evidence

I’ve never heard a bad word about the guys motor. That’s probably his best attribute after his first step. He’s not strong enough, and he can’t stay on his feet, which relates to strength. He doesn’t have a chance until and unless he puts in the work.

Sleeping in meetings is a bad sign, regardless.

I didn't realize Woods and/or Hill didn't make enough money to own a cell phone so they could call the office and say, "hey, I have a little bit of a jam here and I am going to be late for the meeting."

sounds to me like maybe they got high, which made them late and sleepy lol.

So they don’t have to practice if they’re late!?
Sounds like you just rewarded them.

Umm no. I was being sarcastic.

Because Hill was a guy we drafted largely because Marinelli vouched for him. Because Marinelli after multiple years, still has yet to put together a dominant, or at least really good, DT rotation. Because Marinelli has convinced the front office he knows DTs and they defer to him on how to acquire DTs.

His time has come and gone. Dallas needs a new DL coach this offseason IMO.

I don't disagree that we need to replace Marinelli, tut the context was not about Hill's ability to play the game, it was about Hill and Woods being late for practice. And even in that context, while that is disappointing, it isn't remotely worth the melodrama some make it out to be.

Well, those JAGs are still on the team. So, yeah, it does.

One’s a 2nd rounder who should’ve been a 5th rounder so it DOUBLY matters. Tired of Rod M sabotaging this team.

Dez was late almost every day.

Bingo, but my point is has a light finally gone off for Garrett and he has been given the green light to be more aggressive with punishment? Has Garrett and Jerry possibly been hit over the head enough times with spotty play that they realize things have to get tougher and more strict in terms of player actions?

 

[Verdict]

Late is late.

Just because you have a reason for being late doesn't mean you don't get punished.

I agree. My text had typos in it.

Giving them the day off isn't accountability.

Hill should be cut. We know where this is headed. He's a bust.

Lol that's stupid to cut him, absolutely stupid.
It not about giving them the day off, it's missing time with your teammates preparing , it's about how it looks to your teammates . Trust me they got the message.

Hill won't be here in two years. This is a waste of time. He shows no ability whatsoever, and he doesn't care.

 

[Verdict]

That's all nonsense.

His college D-Coordinator. The one on the coaching staff that the media claims had problems with Hill, did a radio interview after the draft with the interviewers asking about Hill.

The DC said he didn't have any problems with Hill. He basically said that it was just a slow process to get Hill to play "their" way instead of the way the previous coaching staff had coached him to play. He was 3-4 NT with the previous staff but the new staff wanting to to rush the passer more and play 3-tech DT in a 4-3.

The DC said Hill's number 1 trait is that he has a non-stop "motor" and that his effort/hustle in games was as good as any player that he has coached.

I don’t doubt that was spoken. So far that does not appear to be the case on the field.

 

[Verdict]

Dez was late almost every day.

The signs were there. We should have moved on before we paid Dez.

Tank is trending the same direction as Dez.

 

[Verdict]

Make them run till they puke. I’m old school.

I’m all for sending Tonya Harding down to teach them a lesson or two.

What does this have to do with Lawrence?

 

[Verdict]

What does this have to do with Lawrence?

A lot. Pay attention to the bouncing ball.

A lot. Pay attention to the bouncing ball.

Lawrence isn't an idiot who doesn't show up for practice and needs a QB to tell him where to line up.

 

[Verdict]

Yes. That’s true. But he has been on a milk carton for the most part since he got paid .

 

[erod]

His effort and attitude is great.

His shoulder isn't.

Hill has shown a non-stop "motor" for the Cowboys.

He just does not know what he is doing.
