Coach Shottenheimer, things you need to fix and work on

[Aven8]

Dallas not unique in this but playing people according to age & salary . And then no matter the results you keep playing the same person .

Malik Hooker & Terence Steele . Would rather have seen Israel Mukuamu and Asim Richards .

The one guy who needed reps who Mac actually benched was Guyton and Chum Edoga his replacement was playing like garbage or got hurt . Your # 1 pick in a losing season needs exposure reps experience not Edoga who needs to be cast away .

I hope the new HC makes wise decisions for starters and bench depth . Mac was horrible at it .

Mike was trying to win football games. It was obvious they tried to get Guyton reps but when he did he was like a turnstyle.

In 2023 the roster had no heart or fight

In 2024 the team had no roster

Can we get both of these at the same time in 2025, Herr Schottenheimer ?

Ideally you want a FS with more ball hawking skills than Hooker has exhibited . Mukuamu would seem a natural to challenge at that position .

Edoga is hurt more than available and the entire line has a diffetent vibe with Guyton a much better look . The guy doesn’t get beat at LT it’s penalties . I’m hoping whoever the OL coach is ( is it Kkayton Adams the OC ? ) they teach him proper use of the hands .

Not impressed with Mukuamu. Sure he made a few ... wow ... plays here and there, if that what one wants to call them. But he has never been consistent, and also gave up some big plays.
Time for him to go. They can find a replacement in FA, if they decide to participate in FA this year.
But he may be one of those way too many on the roster "we like our guys" syndrome the FO has.

Not saying Hooker is great, but he is not horrible by any means. At least he is consistent.

Definitely need some players with heart and guts, no fear type players. Mean streaks type of player when the pads are on.

It's been a long streak of "talented" players and some of rhe rosters have had 9 or 10 All Pros but they've all had one thing in common....underachieving at the biggest times.

I agree with the mean streak in players but I also want smart players.....if you look at the Cambell and Tomlin teams they have both of those attributes

1. Discipline with accountability, no more excuses on dumb play penalties. The cowboys were the worst at penalties on this team. False starts, standing still while defensive players go by that player, stupid penalties on special teams, that kept occurring over and over.

2. Basically there was no incentive plays, on offense, which our players were wide open or fooled opposing defenses. Not involving Turpin in more offensive plays, if the Kansas city Chiefs could do that involvement with their star wr that went to Miami, then cowboys should. Our offensive line coach having players on offensive line playing in schemes that wasn't their strong suit. As you said we will have players playing to their strengths not their weaknesses. Most of our wide receivers were running routs that opposing defenses knew.

3. As your working with Jerry and Stephen Jones, this waiting and waiting to sign our own players like Dak, Ceedee has got to stop. The eagles sign their players, creating money to sign top free agents. Stephen and Jerry would say even when the eagles won their Superbowl of signing top free agents will catch up to them, but as you know the eagles rebuilt their team and signed top players, even trading for top wr a j brown. If the eagles, chiefs can do this why can't the cowboys front office.

4. Coach Schottenheimer, you talked about culture on this team, why is it that when cowboys played Rams in preseason and got killed or when playing good teams, looks like the cowboys got outplayed players and coaches, example the playoff game against the Green Bay Packers. Another example, Michael Irvin said that on Saturday's players are allowed to go home, after about 1 pm, which if players go home I guess the coaches do to.

In the 90s when cowboys won championships, players worked Saturday afternoon and then would study film but the Dallas Cowboys don't do that why? Someone like Jimmy Johnson did, someone has to be tough, ready to cut or trade players, not trying to be a daddy at times, someone has to carry enig stick and players fear that coach, not the front office. Players have to want to study, work extra after hours, while making other players accountable not only from the coaches but the front office to.

Are you writing this in hopes that he reads it oorrr!?

I saw the last few camp practices at Oxnard.

They looked lazy.

you play the way you practice!!

That's what I'm thinking guy thinks he's a professional thinks he's some kind of GM in the waiting and that he has better input and knowledge that someone who was in the league 25 years and his father Marty schottenheimer probably shared some pertinent information about being a head coach at some point he also was a mentor of Pete Carroll S,

but sure he's scouring the Internet looking for advice from a fan base..lol I don't think people in here realize that these guys don't read this..

 

[blueblood70]

I will leave it to the coaches to improve the team. He won't be taking advice from keyboard experts.

True and to add to that he wasted all that time trying to prove he's knowledgeable and no one that matters is going to read it but it's also very obvious things that need to be improved, it's not a secret.

The Cowboys get beat deep at an alarming rate with Hooker showing up sometimes to make a tackle never a play on the ball in the air . Mukuamu is “ inconsistent “ because Zim and DQ never played him

Chuma forever will remain a mystery why he was on roster, especially as a tackle. Same goes for Waletzko.

Guyton 10 times the LT Edoga was .

Keep Jerry as far away from the players as possible. Change the locks every week to the dressing rooms so Jerry can't be in the team meetings.

Keep Jerry away from practices. Hype other guys like say " Deuce Vaughn will start" and then right before the game play the real RB. Jerry can't keep his mouth shut to the media and expose game plan and everything.

Tell Tony Romo to distract Jerry so he will stay away from practice. Go play golf, fly Jerry with you to the different cities away from the Cowboys.


Tell Jerry those strippers and that 25 year old girl he got pregnant are at practice and so is his wife.

Yes, JJ ego is what is preventing us from a sb, he has lost touch on the dynamics of the nfl, nothing states more than the contract for Dak. He needs to give up the GM role as starters.
