But, we are determined to keep starting T-Will. Must be a RKG thing. RKG keeps leading to BKL (bad kinds of losses).

Must be a we just resigned one guy to a multi-year deal and the other one to a one year contract thing.

Ok- let me help you. If you have ever played football or any sports you'd understand that players play for players as teammates not the coach. Players are bonded with each other before a coach. So if Brice called out T Williams- I bet you T Williams will concentrate better next time he's put in the same or similar situation because he will not want to let the team- the players down!!!

That's got to be one of the dumbest things I've heard. A couple of things. I guess you're insinuating that you played sports. I don't know where you played but teammates don't call other teammates out, not publicly and to the media. Second, the players want to play for the coach if he's worth his salt. The best coaches I ever had where guys I'd run through a brick wall for. Thirdly, I don't think Garrett or any coach wants players calling out other players in the media. That's the fastest way to divide a locker room. Lastly, Brice calling out a scrub like Williams when Brice himself is a scrub is stupid. Brice Butler won't solve this team's problems. All that is assuming that Butler did call him out. I haven't seen it or heard the interview though.

yup, we are not going anywhere fast.
let's see what brice, taco, young DBs can do.
trade twill if we can.
just cut wilber and other progress stoppers.
bring in more young players from the development squads.
100%
It would be good to get something out of this season: great draft picks, in-season tryouts for multiple young players & a new coaching staff. In fact, that would constitute the best season in over 2 decades.

Over a BS penalty that the league had to amend the rule because it was such BS?

Mmmmkay.

In addition to his killer penalty (taking away a long catch by Terrance, by the way, as he has a knack for undermining that particular teammate), he also didn't catch any of the multiple passes thrown to him that day if I recall right. After being a major cog in a loss to the Packers himself, I enjoy the idea that people now think he would (*gasp*) never contribute to a loss to the Packers like Williams did.

I didn't want TWill or Butler back but if I had to choose one, it was Brice. Both can go for all I care.

Don't compare this year's Butler to last year's Butler. He has improved over the off season. He's shown that in TC and now in real games.
DLaw didn't have a sack last year but now he's the NFL sack leader.

I know it's hard to believe for this team, but some players have improved since last year for various reasons. Unfortunately the reverse can be said also (i.e A. Brown)

Williams has screwed up games for the team before as you can recall the guy doesn't know how to get out of bounds.

But the real issue with Williams versus Butler is that Butler contributes at least once per game despite limited snaps and Butler has progressed as a receiver and Williams has done neither of those things. The pick that Williams caused was due to him using horrible technique on something that is fundamental. After all of these years he still can't get that simple technique down correctly. And he doesn't get open. He's a heckuva blocker, but Butler is a good blocker as well.

I just don't see any reason for Williams to be starting at this point over Butler. One has clearly worked harder to get better and one has been more effective in the past year despite playing less snaps.

check out Brice reaction to question of if there were any discussions to clock management. He looked confused by concept. I am convinced there actually very little coaching going on at star.

That's awesome, Brice just called out T. Williams turnover as the reason they lost.

I love this guy. He wants his job.
This is EXACTLY why you rid this team of this disease. ..........Alvin Harper 2 with less balls. The reason Dallas lost......whatever.

He going to call out Dakota next? Shut your pie hole, Nancy. I saw you're alligator arms last year against GB.....there's a reason they don't have you go over the middle.......***** (cat).

Lol-keep living and I'm sure you will hear more dumb things and will probably say them yourself. So let me be clear, on the field, court or wherever team sports are played, player have each other’s back and not a coach. So it’s only makes sense for player to form an alliance, trust with each other. That’s my point to you.

Take for example- losing two player off of our offensive line- that loss has disturbed the oline’s alliance, trust, chemistry, etc... We have a great OL coach but he can’t fix the problem. The problem will be fixed by the players (oline). The same can be said for the secondary.

Now to address the Brice Butler calling out Terrance Williams. Well sometime your teammate has to do that. I’m sure Brice did it for some reason not related to being selfish. I can’t say for sure. I never heard the clip. But make no mistakes about it that call-out needed to happen. You will see the benefits later this year- mark my word!!! Teammates are like brothers and when there is trust they do not want to let each other down. Terrance let his team mates down and probably will not do it again. That’s my point- like it or not; I’m not asking you to agree. Sometime a time can have too many RKGs.

So you go and make an argument about how players play for each other, have each other's back, develop an alliance, trust and chemistry....and then defend a public call out. Got it. I'm glad you weren't my teammate. With friends and alliances like that, who needs enemies?

TWill may not be the best WR, but he is the only one who consistently gets separation. And if one pass gets past his hands and causes and interception, the Dez should have been sitting long ago. It happens Dez, TWill, Witten, Beasely and all receivers.

I do think that the position needs upgrading, but this lynch mob mentality is unnecessary. Last week it was Switzer, this week TWill. Next week who knows. The past two games, those turnovers were overcome and we took the lead after it happened.

My man Brice killing it on tv, dudes a natural. I don't see anything wrong with his statements, although I haven't seen the "Cowboys didn't spend money on defense" part anywhere. But I think when he points out TWill's turnover, hes more taking responsibility as an offensive unit rather than trying to throw somebody under the bus just imo. He needs to play more though.

Not sure why teammates calling each other out is a good thing. Am I missing something.
there was way more than one reason we lost that game. I despise finger-pointing in the locker room, and even more when it’s done in the media.
