Audio: 'Clark Kent' aka Witten thinks T.O. is coming back -1/28/09

[dcfanatic]

Who is 'Clark Kent'?

Listen to the audio below and you will know...

Clark Kent on Sirius Radio

I have heard 'Clark' do a few interviews now since the season ended and it's clear he will not even get near the drama that is going on in Dallas right now with anything that is coming out of his mouth.

All of his answers are thought out and he's not going to throw anyone under the bus.

Why can't the rest of the team do this?

Why?

It's not that hard do an interview and just talk football without giving out what is wrong with the team as far as the locker room goes and the team chemistry goes.

Jason Witten just keeps telling us there is enough talent on this team and that they just have to get it done on the field.

Witten did an interview on The Ticket a few weeks back where he said sometimes it's time to just 'Shut Up And Play'.

That should be this team's motto for the 2009 season!

 

[Ultra Warrior]

Kal-El has a radio show?

 

[theebs]

Shut up and play aint happening here.

yesterday we learned that Keith Davis and Marty B! were involved in a fight, or near fight.

Here is what I wish.

I wish Witten And Ware, the two best players on this team would go to a couple of other guys in the offseason, say Terrance newman, Flozell Adams and Tony Romo.

Then these guys would instill some rules, a la a kangaroo court.

Simple things.

You call out a player or a coach on tv/radio/newspaper that is 500 buck.
You call out a coach on tv/radio/newspaper that is 500 bucks.
You show up late for a meeting without a serious immediate family emergency like death or an accident and that is 1000 bucks.

U miss a meeting, that is 1500 bucks.

If you are a rookie all fines double.
With each offensive the fines multiply, so for your second offense its x2 etc..

if you get an unsportsman like penalty or excessive celebration during a game its 500 bucks. If you get one and it costs the team points, its 1000.

I think if That certain group of guys or a similar group of guys got together and layed down the law like this it could help.

Because when the same guys keep getting fined, other people are going to start looking sideways at them and at some point it will get through.

There isn't any way T.O. would be paying anyone in this system for when he arrives late to a meeting.

He is too prideful and it would only wind up in him having a sit down with Jerry.

Or better yet Deion.

that would be great.

Then he would get exposed for what he is.

If the players all had to abide by this and he couldnt and went and whined like a pre schooler then maybe the power would shift away from jerry and owens and to the rest of the players and staff.

This isn't the way to lead.

If you have to place fines on doing everything you should just want to do, then that is the problem.

These type of things are rare when there is true leadership.

so how do you fix it. its clear the players are frustrated by the lack of discipline and what some other players are teaching the young guys.

Simply listen to ware and bradie from their interviews this week. they are tired of it.

since the coaches have no backbone to address the problem, only the players can do it.

 

[28 Joker]

I agree. Witten took the "high'" road at Tennessee with a selfish, diva WR. Don't expect him to be the guy to "lay the goods" on Owens, expecially in public. It isn't his job to do that. That should be the higher-ups' job. Witten isn't going to "turn over" a teammate in public, even iOwens.

If he says that Owens "might not be back", what do you think the next questions willl be about?

Why?......

In my opinion, you nailed it right there.

But that has only been my experience.

Wade seems like a nice guy, but a leader of men?? .. Big, strong, young, dominant athletic men??

They need someone they look up to, respect, fear in some ways.

They have to want to please him, impress him, and have him respect them back.

I don't see that with Wade.

Wade Phillps should have bowed up for sure. I don't know how he just let everyone run over him. He has to stand up to the players, including iOwens, and Jerry Jones. Letting Pacman take Scandrick's spot was weak. You could tell that Phillps didn't want him back. Phillips should have drawn the line in the sand to Jerry Jones right there. "Go ahead, fire me. I'm not playing him over Scandrick". "In fact, I'm not playing him anymore". Also, Tony Romo's attitude needed to be addressed.

I love Wade Phillips' defensive mind and the ability to put our defensive players in great situations through his schemes, but the loose locker room is on him. The culture is on him. The buck does stop with him. If I'm taking all the heat, then, I'm going to "do things my way". He has to man up and challenge Jerry Jones to back off. Not standing up to Terrell Owens' (Jerry's pet) destructive behavior and campaign against Jason Garrett in the media and shots at Tony Romo, portrays weak leadership.

Finally, I don't know how Wade Phillips just stood there while Jason Garrett needed some help managing field position or the game in some of the tight defensive games. I've been critical of Garrett, but Phillips just stood there in some of those games (Arizona and Pittsburgh and Giant2). I would have been helping Garrett manage the field position, at times, in some of those games. Phillips just stood there. I don't get it. Mange a handful of games better, and you make the playoffs.

I have to admit, I catch myself thinking that perhaps, turning the team over to Jason Garrett now is the best thing to do, even though the defense may suffer. I do think Garrett bowed up to Jerry Jones at the end of the season in regards to iOwens.

I don't see the benefit of a lame duck head coach.

Ah, ok... Who made Jason Garrett the Assistant Head Coach? Who paid Jason Garrett a salary, the highest of any OC? Considering reports coming out about Garrett being 'confident', I wouldn't be surprised that Garrett would blow Wade Phillips off... In fact, he probably blew off all the advice of his players. He even 'called' a meeting with his WRs, but nothing changed.
He was either really stupid, not knowing when to adjust, or too damn arrogant to change his philosophy, even though it wasn't working.

Maybe Garrett is just too damn arrogant...

I'm not in the locker room, but Buddy Ryan punched Kevin Gilbride in the face in Houston. I'm not saying hit him in the face, but do something. Don't just stand there.

Do you think Andy Reid is a good coach who is respected?

 

[WV Cowboy]

Do you think Andy Reid is a good coach who is respected?

For the most part, I do.

I think his weak link is his man-love for McNabb.

That was the problem when TO & McNabb had their falling out, .. he took McNabbs side instead of making it about the team.

He should have told them both to grow up, put themself aside, and do whatever it takes to rise above their differences and put the team first.

Instead he pampered McNabb.

But his teams always play hard, and normally are there at the end of the season.

I think his players respect and follow him.

 

[Cowboys2008]

Personally I'm damn sick of hearing what any of these players have to say. I just don't care. Get your damn *** out there and play football! After you actually win something and live up to that supposed "potential" then go and talk until you're blue in the face.

Until then it doesn't even matter who you are, you're just adding to everything else that's going on around you that's not winning.

If you've got something to say that's so damned important, go say it to a teammate. Then after you've talked one another till you're almost sick, maybe you'll finally go out and try and win some football.

At the end of the day though, unless you're a verified winner, what you have to say just really doesn't matter one way or another in the grand scheme of things. Ask yourself to remember what players were saying in 1988-1989? Or do you even care? What about in the back-to-back-to-back 5-11 seasons? How about 2 years from now, in the misshaped 2008 season looking back, what were they saying today that you cared so much about to actually remember? Me, I'd rather remember what this team was saying as Quincy Carter took this team to the playoffs. And yea, 2008-2009 Dallas Cowboys, I hope that hurts and cuts you deep. That's right, I didn't talk about any of you, I talked about QUINCY CARTER. And yea that's vomit in my mouth, but just imagine what it would be had I been talking about you and this joke of an underachieving season you just gave all us Cowboy faithful.

I would say Witten is doing what others should do and that is not throwing gas on a fire. Witten has no says so one way or the other about TO returning or not so why should he speculate that TO will not be back

Reid is the one who benched McNabb this season. I don't think Reid played favors over the players I think TO at times has a big mouth and will not let controversy die. SF HC also was dealing with TO is he at fault as well? It seems everyone else is to blame not TO
