Don’t get me wrong, Jerry is ultimately responsible with his lush “The Star” practice facility. The 68 degree weather in training camp and his coddling of players he likes. But having said all that, both MM and MZ laid an egg against the Saints. They knew before coming HC and DC how Jerry runs things. Especially MZ. If they aren’t capable of dealing with that, then they should’ve never accepted the job. This team was not mentally ready to play on either defense or offense. Now I don’t know if MM is butt hurt about not having an extension, but come on man, get the team ready! MM and MZ really hosed this game up.

Both MM and MZ both got totally out coached. Micah was totally coach out of the game. The offense again, had no running game. How many penalties stopped offensive drives and defensive stands? They had the team totally unprepared for both offensive and defensive schemes they are both familiar with and they came out with that?

There’s some problems with personnel as well. If you’re not going to come out balls to the walls like Overshown, and 2 or 3 others then you don’t need to be in the NFL. You’re paid tons of money to give it 100% 100% of the time.

I want to see an Charles Haley type episode or I’m really worried about the season.

I think MM will buckle down knowing his job is on the line and give it his all for the rest of the season. Then, the players need to step up as well and instead of giving 75% how about giving 100%.

Coaches need to sit down and go over the game film and really cretic each player performance and address it quickly by benching the screw ups. It bothers me that they looked totally lost on the sidelines. That is enough for me.

Bold: Yes, they did, but I seriously question how much Jerry actually lets them do. Maybe it's Jerry who keeps interrupting practice sessions and coddling the players. Maybe it's Jerry who constantly keeps blowing sunshine up their butts making them think they're great players when they really aren't.

Charles Haley type? You're never going to see that with this team, not while Jerry is still in the picture. Competition is no longer the focus, it's all about money. No one will ever wear a Cowboys uniform and have even the slightest passion of Charley Haley. Those players do exist in the NFL, but none of them play for Dallas.

How many times did we see them try and run Deuce up the middle? He’s 5’6” 176lbs? Just wasted series.
Especially when you have a Luepke. Supposed to have a bigger role this season. Would have been a nice time to pound him and Elliot and Dowdle for the first 3 quarters. Then bring in Duece. They got there game plan ruined in the first half. Our Defense with help of the refs got to far ahead.

I’m not giving up like 95% of the posters here who have a history of quitting after the first series of the first preseason game. I think the issues can be corrected with coaching and the players giving a damn. Someone will need to instill in both to give a damn.

I totally am in line with your first paragraph. Jerry’s ultimately responsible and bare all the blame. As for the 2nd paragraph, I hope you’re wrong.

I don't know what it is but seems like our run scheme is totally ineffective then you add in not addressing the RB situation in FA or the draft and it just seems like we cant get it going on the ground. We need to find a way to run the ball if we are going to have any success.

So you think McCarthy didn't realize that before yesterday...interesting.
I’m hoping the players were so embarrassed that they’ll come out with fire in their eyes.
Guess they forgot about the last time they were embarrassed at home.
