Bennett "The enemy against greatness is the unwillingness to change."

[Whyjerry]

What in gods name has that got to with this team. Jesus some stupid comment.

You don’t see the irony? I feel sorry for you.

Get a grip man, pompous ASSS

 

[Hennessy_King]

Absolutely spot on. And if he’s preaching about stepping up he may want to try leading by example. He was a dud yesterday. 1 or 2 whole tackles all game? Give us a break. Another big talker that doesn’t back it up with performance on the field

You haven't been watching. He's been one of the best players on our defense since he's arrived.

 

[Bowdown27]

How can the whole team not feel that way. We looked like a joke. I’m glad Bennett stepped up and said something but also the coaching to put in a game plan against another winning team and that’s how you perform? It would be a miracle if we made the playoffs playing like this

Get a grip man, pompous ASSS

Where’s the holiday spirit? They had that in the Cretaceous period too.

 

[shabazz]

11 tackles and 3 sacks in 5 games. I’ve been watching. These numbers are on the real

I know the guy can play. He has been a good player his whole career. I just think it is ridiculous that he is the guy that is being quoted. How long will he be in Dallas?

It's interesting that Bennett brought up the contracts. One of the first verbal signs that all of these pay days -- and potential pay days -- is causing a divide of some kind in that locker room.

My first thought was his mentioning the contacts, too.

Wouldn't be a surprise that this franchise would value getting that bag over football, though. Always glitz and glamour over substance and winning.

Nice speech. At least someone cares, but it won't make up for lack of talent, poor scheme and obvious coaching deficiencies.

When you have a well-known NFL turd who was just acquired reciting canned clichés in the locker room you know you have real problems.

Yeah, but he’s averaging 2 tackles and 1/2 a sack a game. He’s got credibility by leading by example. LMAO

 

[Hennessy_King]

11 tackles and 3 sacks in 5 games. I’ve been watching. These numbers are on the real

So if he played a full season he would be on pace for 9 sacks 33 tackles as a DT and that's not good i guess. lol.

“The champions are the people that get remebered,” Bennett said when asked about his message, via Michael Gehlken ...... “They don’t remember who got the biggest contract. A whole bunch of great players got great contracts, but they don’t get remembered as champions. Champions are the ones who get the gold plates and the jackets and they understand what it takes to win. That’s just a certain mindset. That’s just a certain ability to play tough in adverse moments.”

“It’s important that we understand that it’s a small window that we have,” Bennett said, via ....... “We’ve got all the great players. The only thing we’ve got to do is execute in adversity. The enemy against greatness is the unwillingness to change. We’ve got to be able to change some of the things that we’ve been doing to demand more from ourselves and become the people we want to be.

“Every opportunity is in front of us, but it’s just on us to capitalize. To win, you’ve got to sacrifice a lot. It’s going to hurt. It’s painful. You play through injury, but you do it because you have to. To win that championship, to win that Lombardi, there’s no feeling like that. And that takes a lot.”

Somebody had to say it.

 

[Rockport]

Nice speech but it's not going to save this season.

Clean house after the season. Too bad that won't include senile Jerry and his accomplished-nothing son.

How do you know? Are you quitting?

This highlighted passage hits the nail right on the head, even if he’s not on the team next year I think he’s respectfully illuminated some of the issues we’ve all felt existed.

It’s about time someone stood up and said what needed to be said. I hope it has a positive effect and propels the team forward. The fat lady hasn’t sung yet.

I keep hearing about “all the great players” yet a lot of what I see losing games for us are poor tackling, guys getting out run, and man handled, fumbles, etc. What I see are delusional players and fans who are still drinking from the Jerry and media fountain of crap about the alleged “talent” on this team (mostly on the defensive side of the ball).

 

[Creeper]

Love that he is stepping up as a leader, but was that him who jumped off sides on a kneel down play?

It's bad coaching and overrated players. I never did see how this was the most talented and deep team since the 90's.

Troy said just a couple of weeks ago on his Ticket show that he sees all of these teams practice with his own eyes and yes, this team is that talented.
