Didnt you recognize he actually tweeted it already why he thinks we lost ?

Do you really think he has alot more to say ? If yes why does he tweets such BS in public which is just the stereotypes all emotional people use ?

Haley was a great player but he is not known for his intellect. And that way he talks about our problems. It does not help a bit. All he does is letting of steam.

I love the answer he got from JJ. Its so much to the point. Doesnt he get it when he talks crap ? Even when somebody shows him what kind of crap he is talking ?

Actually Haley is known for having a very high football IQ. Many great players and coaches have recognized this in Haley including Ronnie Lott, Walsh, Jimmy, Troy, even Seifert (who seemed to hate his guts). Leon Lett also credits Haley in teaching him the game. Ware has also said similar things.

Not saying Haley does not like to push players and test their breaking points, good players or bad, he pushes until he gets a reaction. Kick his butt and he'll respect you, back down and you're his dog for life.

So now, can somebody explain what was it that the cowboys players dont listen to ?

I mean i read that Haley says: "you dont listen" and "You all elevate stupid to new levels and new heights". But does he eventually has some meaningfull to say that helps ?

Where is the actual content in this article ?

That's what I was looking for as well. What did they not listen to?

He's right.

What wasn't dumb about Randle extending the ball with one hand over the goal line without looking? What wasn't dumb about Dunbar running it out from ten yards deep in the end zone to get to the ten yard line and suffer a possible end of the year injury? What wasn't dumb about having 12 men on the field when the team is going to punt it, giving them five extra yards to give them three points? What wasn't dumb about Street stepping out of bounds with no one near him?

Omg. The Street error. I think I became physically ill at that very moment.

ItTo me those are two different things: a) to know how to play your position and explain your position to someone else or b) to understand the game fully and explain it to someone.

But i believe you if you say that Haley has a high football IQ. And If others say such things i cant argue against it. I'll believe it.

Still i have to admit he does not show it alot. Especially not in such ("stupid") comments he makes.

Sorry he's not articulate enough for you.

individually and collectively this team is the dumbest i have ever seen,*** was Dunbar trying to to bringing the ball out 9 yards deep in the endzone.I may go bald watching them.

Especially at that point of the game. Calm down and just get down to basics. Y'all are sucking right now. When he got hurt....the first thing I said was dumb move. Sorry....but hey.

You dont have to apologize for Haley. He is what he is and has to live with what people see in him.

My point is: If he wants to help then why does he talk such crap in public ? Then why not show it a different way ?

We are realistically looking at the potential of going into a winnable Bucs game at 2-6 folks. Then we might run into a tough one against an angry Dolphins team. So after 10 games, we "could" be 4-6 before we get a rusty Romo back.

This kind of Haley psyche-technique worked for the Cowboys in the 1990's. Maybe it can light a fire under this group.

He'd light a fire if showed tham "he has hand" like he used to do in the locker room.

What aren't they listening to, exactly, apart from "don't dive and extend the ball at the goal line?"

12 men, ticky jersey pulls that dont change a play but draw a turnover negating penalty, false starts, dropped balls, running a kickoff out of your end zone from the -9 yard line, etc. etc.

Dumb with talent. Its different than dumb and worthless (i.e. proctor still in his stance)

Saying this Cowboys team doesn't fight is kind of silly.

Is he watching the same team I am?

They are undermanned but fighting hard.

They're also fighting hard "with the coaches" which fueled his comments. Randle was the obvious example on the sideline last night. Haley sees things from a locker room perspective that we aren't privy to.
