Bartt Scott is a scumbag

[VACowboy]

So...that 115 isn't the flex you think it is

I'm too lazy to do league average, but the median is about 120, so we ran for probably less than average against the 18th ranked run D. In fact...Philly allows 120 rushing yards per game, so we ran for less than their other opponents.

And when you look at the stats, Elliott averaged 3.4 ypc and Pollard averaged 2.1 ypc. Dak's 6 for 41 is what gives the illusion that we ran the ball with some efficiency.

So I think he's very much correct in describing Dallas the last three weeks. Hope it gets better

Consider the games since Suh and Joseph joined the team (minus Saturday) the Eagles are giving up 114.4/game, and if you take out QB rushing yards that drops to 81.8. That's not an illusion, that's a pattern. The coaching staff encouraged Dak to run more. It was part of the game plan and I don't think you can just discount that. Dak needs to run more. I think if Dallas has a problem running the ball it has more to do with predictability than lack of physicality. I also think Philly ate the cheese, focused on stopping the run and dared Dak to beat them. Woops. The Eagles' D can't take away Dak and Zeke/Pollard both, I don't care how "physical" they are. Coming into the game Philly had a top-two defense, the consensus best OL and one of the best running games in football, and Dallas out-rushed them and dropped a 40-burger on their heads. That's all.

I get what you're saying, though. The Cowboys aren't a stuff the run, line up and run it down your throat football team. I just think Bart Scott drooling all over Philly "doing what they did with a backup QB and missing their starting RT" is kind of rich as he ignores minor details like Minshew being one of the best backups in the league, Dallas playing without its starting RT and four defensive starters, and the fact that Philly eked one out against Cooper Rush. Whether the Dallas offense was "physical" or not, it hung 40 on Philly's vaunted defense and is scoring more than anybody with its starter on the field. "Physical" or not, they execute like that they have the ability to succeed in the playoffs.

I think the decline in the Dallas D over the past few wks has more to do with injuries than soft play. I don't think it's coincidental that the defense started going south when it lost Brown, Lewis and Hankins. That's not an excuse. That's an explanation. Bart Scott seems very highly impressed with Philly's shorthanded loss.

Dude is always flopping in the wind and flip flopping like he is on a hot sandy beach.

McCarthy should use him as motivation for the hate he spews on Cowboys non-stop.

I sorta kinda understand why it is necessary posting any talking sports head videos but the first video is from three years ago...

He has been flip flopping for 3+ years moving the goal post each and every way.

Bart Scott is actually an ok guy who is fair more often than not.

He often calls out the Cowboys for being soft in general.

I don’t see how any of you see that as being dead wrong. I don’t.

I've never seen/heard him say a positive thing about the Cowboys. I'm not saying whether it's right or wrong, but there seems to be a general dislike for the team whenever he has to speak about them.

In other words, flip flopping is a changed opinion over the years.

Well. That definition applies to every sports talking head, not just Bart Scott.

Bart Scott is a scumbag?

All let name calling is gone make everyone lose respect for you.

 

[BoyzBlaster]

We have to have the most sensitive fans in the league if not all of sports.

Seriously, do YOU really CARE what this slap dick has to say about the BOYS??????????? That would be a HELLS-BELLS, HELL NO!

Probably not. Doesn’t mean he is wrong.

I’ve heard his Cowboys stories when he was on a regular show in my area. They are almost entirely about how they are just soft in general and will fold when it counts.

I’d love to tell him how wrong he is, but I think I’d be better with a plea on this one.

lmao you are flat out lying. That dude even gets called out by his peers on twitter for his biased he is.

Dak
Inconsistently accurate
Problems reading the field
Can he beat good teams? We're about to find out.

some of you guys show everyday that you don’t really understand what y’all watch on Sunday’s. 7-1 against winning teams this year. Problems reading the field? Yeah okay lol

Ok I don’t do twitter.

I did spend a lot of time listening to him whe he was on FAN in NY for a while.

Again, his Cowboys stuff was always the same, and it didn’t bother me because I found much of it to be true. I also recall him saying everybody knows our plays and we still don’t care.

The topic was rare, mostly about local stuff. His insight into how locker rooms are probably reacting etc was always a great listen.

Maybe I worded it wrong for your taste, but don’t tell me I’m “lying” when I state my opinion.

 

[Praxit]

..yep, him, Shady, the chick on NFL network..etc. Bunch of tools.

Dallas gets no respect.

Why the Bart Scott hate?

He said 49ers are the best team in the NFC, the Eagles next and then the Cowboys.
He said the run defense isn't that great as we get run on, and you must stop the run game in the playoffs. He also said we're not as physical as the other two teams, and we're mentally weak.
Heck, 3/4 of this forum - with the 1/4 except being those who think the Cowboys poop smells like roses - have said similar to what Scott pointed out. Most of us were utterly shocked that Mike McCarthy confessed that the Cowboys were nervous going into the playoff game against the Niners last year, and some of us were appalled at witnessing the "scared" look the Boys had on their faces entering the stadium last year.

But it really doesn't matter what Bart or what we think for right now.

Soon, it's going to be put-up or shut-up time. We'll see who has been right about McCarthy, Dak, the defense, the offense, and the Cowboys in general.

As Scott famously coined "CAN'T WAIT!"

 

[tyke1doe]

How can Hilton and Dak be an unstoppable duo when they've essentially played one game together?

 

[Bagman]

Yeah, I don't listen to them much anymore. On occasion flipping around the channels, or on clips from here. I just can't listen to it right now. Trying to do 10 others things.
Stock market, coffee, emails, things like that.

Sometimes it used to bother me, at times I didn't care. So I just don't watch as much. Start winning playoff games, they will say something good. Or it will quiet them down.

Can't win a playoff game in the regular season. This clown Bart Scott has been yapping his pie hole for 4 months. He started in August about the Cowboys issues. He's nothing more than a bad actor.

I don't hate Bart Scott or any other sports commentator. I just think his rationale for some things and the way he ignores stuff that doesn't suit his narrative is comical. I mean, he picks Philly to win the game and then is impressed when they lose? Uh, ok.

Maybe because he thought they were strong enough to beat us on the road without their starting quarterback but despite the loss, they were in the lead for much of the game and, aside from mistakes by their backup quarterback and key injuries, they could have won the game.

Consider the games since Suh and Joseph joined the team (minus Saturday) the Eagles are giving up 114.4/game, and if you take out QB rushing yards that drops to 81.8.

So we rushed for a little more than half a yard more than they've given up the last 4 games...7.7 yards less if you take QB rushing out as you said

That's not an illusion, that's a pattern. The coaching staff encouraged Dak to run more. It was part of the game plan and I don't think you can just discount that. Dak needs to run more.

I more or less agree with the rest, so I won't really retort outside of saying 115 yards, even if it was all from RBs is below average. Dallas' offense dominated Philly's defense, but it wasn't due to the running game dominating and in order for us to have post season success, we have to get back to doing that well
