Bruce Arians Takes A Shot At The Cowboys

[Yakuza Rich]

Truth. Like Jimmy Johnson said when he cut John Roper for falling asleep in a ST meeting, "well, If Troy Aikman fell asleep in a meeting I'd give him a nudge and say - Wake up Troy". If White was good, he'd still be here.

It's not only that, there may have been other problems with the guy as well. Showing up late, missing rehab sessions, etc. This idea that he was cut solely for not wearing a suit just seems far fetched.

This season proves,how clueless this team is.

Bruce Arians on their new acquisition Cory White--

"We'll make sure Cory has a suit and tie for our road trips."

Maybe it's me but when the Patriots cut Chris Harper after he dropped a punt that really changed the Denver game, that sends a specific message on performance to the team. You better catch the ball.

When Cory White is cut because of a suit - it sends a message of philosophy to the team which is fine -- But does philosophy matter without performance?

I don't really care that Cory got cut. But I would've preferred he got cut for blowing a coverage, not a suit.

Man Bruce Arians has turned that Cardinals team around.. dude is a stud coach...means business.(not a clapper)....what a great find Arians was for the Cardinals front office.........Great example of what a GOOD NFL coach is

Yeah, they/we all understand 1 winning season in 5 years. If it were 3 out of the last 5 the HC would catch a break.

Yes, which is the anomaly - the general pattern of mediocrity, or the one big season?

 

[Frosty]

He was cut because he was viewed as not talented enough to stay on the team.

The rest of it was window dressing.

If Fredbeard , Zach or the rook Byron did not wear a suit to two road games, he might get fined by the team or punished some how but he would not be cut. They have enough talent that they would not be cut for not wearing a suit...of course at the same time they are probably also smart enough not to do something that stupid but at the end of the day this was about not being talented enough to overlook whatever problems he presented.

Really......while Pattmon is still on the team because he is a ? (and MO?) REALLY

Batting .500 there. That's not too shabby if you were playing baseball.

Yeah. We get it. You believe the coaching has nothing to do with it. That's cool. I'm not trying to change your mind here. Injuries killed the team, well at least one injury did. Romo hides the fact that this coaching staff, particularly on offense, is very average.

Without him people can see that the offense is garbage and it's not just because the QBs aren't as good.

 

[DFWJC]

dare I ask, are we a bigger joke than the Browns or Jaguars?

Or Iowa State?

j/k

 

[Machete]

Or Iowa State?

j/k

Ha! They provide little hope in football. Basketball...different story.

 

[hornitosmonster]

He is a blowhard. Cut of the same cloth as the Ryan family. Sure he can win the the regular season but he will never win the SB as a head coach.

 

[JoeKing]

Bruce Arians was making a joke. Cowboy faithful need to stop being so butt hurt over their misfortune this season. It's just a game.

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

LOL that's funny.

Arians is not a politician. He tells his players how it is. He's cut players on the spot, practically in front of the whole team to establish it is his team and what he expects. This is a crack on the culture in Dallas, which basically means there is confusion on authority.

I do not necessarily get with the idea that White was canned because of the suit thing, but it is odd that he basically thinks so.

Agreed.



I think he tells himself that. Believing a lie.

Coaching always has something to do with it, but, yeah, we've been coached well enough to win 5 of those 7 games if the players made the plays that were right there to be made.

It's not just the injuries. We lost time to suspensions. And then we've had a ton of plays to be made that just didn't get made--many of them by our best players. I wish I had a better answer for why those plays aren't getting made. Some of it definitely *is* on the staff, because for whatever reason they're not creating a situation where that gets done. But, as I've said before, when you're getting Dez singled up on a DB and your backup backup QB hits him in the hands on 3rd and 1 on a drive you can use to help put the game away and he just drops it, I have a hard time blaming coaching for that. The same goes for the Patmon drops, or the fumble v. NE that Church didn't cover, or the unnecessary ticky-tacky block downfield on Street that might have cost us the NY game, or the touchy OPI on Williams that wasn't necessary and might have cost us the PHI game.

Sure, coaching better or just calling different plays in some of these games might have changed the outcome, too, but when you can look at the plays that were there to be made and just, weren't....at some point your highly played and highly respected players gotta play, too.

Ouch.........That is a total no respect comment right there........LOL


Dam I hate being the joke of the league

 

[SilverStarCowboy]

Been a standing joke for 20 years....can we get some new material.

 

[DallasCowboys2080]

lol every body is taking shots at the cowboys now its the thing to do.

been the thing to do since we were labeled "America's Team"

 

[TheCount]

You need the right kind of guy wearing the right kind of suit. If he's not wearing the right kind of suit, then how can you ever be truly sure he's the right kind of guy?

 

[bayeslife]

Arians can talk now because his team is winning. We'll see what that blowhard has to say once his team gets booted out of the first round again.

 

[Beast_from_East]

Yeah, they/we all understand 1 winning season in 5 years. If it were 3 out of the last 5 the HC would catch a break.

We have been riddled with injuries 4 of the past 5 years so bad that nobody could have put up winning seasons.

A real fan would know this.

You guys are too quick to roll over and play dead. The Cowboys aren't a joke, and there's nothing funny about releasing an inactive journeyman for not doing what's expected of him.

When AZ cuts him in some weeks, we'll see what Arians has to say at that time.

Most people see potential in Patmon. For a free agent tryout, he's done more than anyone expected, and I expect him to get better.

Mo is here because of his draft spot, and only that. If White was a former 6th overall pick, he'd get the benefit of the doubt too
