First, been a rough year last yr, so glad its over, not just because of dallas cowboys losing, but had to move, put my mother in nursing home and other stuff. Time to move on though and I have.

Now on to the Cowboys. First problem is the protection of players, that must stop from the top of the organization involving Jerry Jones, to head coach with Jason Garrett to the players, as well as other coaches.

Cowboys must look heavy at their drafting, their scouts, and who chose the players, and why. Example Hynoski the big bruising fullbacks that we all wanted or at least most of us as cowboys fans, but evidently jason garrett didnt, and we went wiith chapas. Ok, did you see enough Jason Garrett of Hynoski who you passed on for chapas? Why did you pass on Hynoski? Get that fixed.

Next, why in the heck did it take 30 full minutes to make half time adjustments by halftime, and not during the first half? That stinks! Are you so involved in the game, Jason Garrett that you cant see and make adjustments during the game Head Coach Jason Garrett? To me, I saw a different attitude from the players playing from 1st half to 2nd half. Is it that your so involved in calling plays your not on top of things at times Jason, and you need to get an offensive coordinator, so you can make adjustments during the game? Granted, the players play the game and evidently they were ready or wanted to play the first half. I saw a total different attitude from the players after halftime, so evidently something was said to the players. This is what you must be aware of Jerry Jones and Jason Garrett, thiese players you must step on their neck and not let up or else they just give half effort. Why I dont know but you would think the players would really want to pllay and win.

A cowboys fan posted supposedly a remark by bradie james, doing autographs in Louisiana I think, that a friend by the poster, remarked man, no body likes the cowboys. Supposedly Bradie James remarked, I dont like them either, but they pay me handsomely. If that is true, thats part of the attitude that you must change and get rid of players with that attitude. I cant believe bradie actually said that, but was posted on this board.

From what i saw of jerry jones, which he wasnt happy, but didnt go down to the field, not sure if jerry can do that at another stadium though. To me, and I know some others view that differently and its ok, but my thoughts are you cant undermine the head coach, and i saw stephen jones sitting by jerry, possibly to keep his dad under control?

We have to clean some more house on defense side of the ball. Newman, Brooking, Elam, Cornerbacks coach Campo, Bradie James, Kenyon Coleman, Ball, and Spencer must go. Attitude on defense must change, and we must get better coverage and pass rush.

On offense, Costa must go, and giving excuses must go, from now on accoutability must be held from the top of Dallas Cowboys organization involving Jerry Jones, to players must be held accountable.

You must monitor players and find out which ones want to come in February and March for conditioning (note not sure if new cba rules doesnt allow you to work out in February, but whenever offseason conditioning starts, you must monitor players and see which ones come in and work, players that dont work and do extra film study etc, must go, enough of excuses.

Like Jason Garrett said our players recommitted themselves to play harder etc... Why the heck didnt players realize and play with urgency in the first half? Thats part of the problem with this team. Just like on the 4th and 1, Romo was trying to hurry up but some players were dragging, why?

Just like Miles had to big time key drops, Miles, Scandrick, Doug Free, and Sensabaugh got big time extensions, but where was their play all this year? Nope, it dropped off, those players need their rear end chewed out big time, and held to be accoutable. Make those players next time cowboys start offseason, make them answer to the media and us fans, make them accoutable. And I dont want to hear from Miles I was sluggish, like he has at times in some games. Hockey PUck! You didnt care and you werent serious, Miles! Their is no urgency to you in games at times and heart.

Dallas Cowboys management, coaches and players must be held accoutable. No more excuses! Some heads have to roll!

Finally, why the hea=ck, with dallas cowboys and arizona cardinals at same record 8-8, are the cardinals picking ahead of us in the draft, we get the 14th slot in first round, while the cardianls get the 13th pick, and the cardinals beat us in a game that could have had us in the playoffs? So, why do the cardinals get to pick ahead of us, if that is so, something is wrong with that.
 
Joe, I couldn't agree more. I'm realistic enough not to expect the whole team start over, but there are clearly some players - and a coach or two - that need to be chopped off the vine. SOme players are what I call bubble players: those you replace only if/when you find another better one. Several of those on this team. Some players need to be cut today. Period. Newman's play was the most shocking to me...even though I know/knew he was declining. He got absolutely torched by Cruz down the sidelines for 71 yds. Newman looked pretty slow...Heck, Sensabaugh was running past him! Gonna be a long off season :mad:
 
Wow Joe, that's an excellent post.

Hard to disagree with much other than getting rid of Elam.

I don't know how anyone can watch a guy like Newman do absolutely nothing and then be pissed at other players in the secondary.

I'd give Elam another year. He'll be cheap and he's probably the only player on the defense in the secondary who knows the playbook.

Dallas played defense with 10 players last night. Probably less with Ball getting out there with Newman at times.

I'm keeping Elam, sending Newman to the unemployment line. At the very least I'm gonna ask him to take a serious pay cut and he can have Beuhler's spot with the team continuing through the offseason as though he isn't on the roster.

Also, if Bradie really said that he can suffer a career-ender for all I care.
 
Ways to fix this mess.

Sign free agents:
CAlais Campbell DE, we must get a pass rush from our DL. Sign Paul Soilai at NT too, we must get bigger at NT, thats what the 3-4 is all about. Sign Michael Griffin who Rob Ryan knows his defense. Then either sign Nicks or Grubbs at OG, and draft Decastro. I dont care how you do it, but you have to jump ahead of Cardinals to draft Decastro, you must fix our OL and reports are cards want decastro to.

Draft a center in 3rd or 4th round, must be a good one. Then go draft a cb in 2nd round. Find a OLB to replace Spencer, and another ILB to replace Bradie and Brooking, granted we have bruce carter, but hopefully he will be ready by next yr.

Find an elite punt returner and kickoff returner and find another rb in draft, so were not depending on Feiix who continues to get hurt.

Do that and you might have a chance next year.
 
Nice read Joe, agree on most points.

We absolutely must address the OL, hopefully starting with the coach and then FA and draft. Romo was running for his life once again and the run game never really got going (harder when down 21-0)

Can't believe James would say that, but of so then good riddens and take Spencer and Newman with you. Speaking of Newman, how bad is it when you get benched for Alan Ball. Let that sink in...
 
I think the biggest need on this team - by far - is CB. Ball, Walker and Newman need to go. Our defensive secondary has been killing us for years and until that gets taken care of we will never get over the top in this league of throwing it all over the field. With those guys, we have no chance.

I think that it is a strength of schedule tie-breaker type of thing.
 
Great post Cowboy Joe! The only thing I disagree with is Costa. I think he at least can be a backup for a couple of years but everything else I think you nailed it. Going into last nights game I wondered who the playmakers were going to be when the lights were brightest. We have maybe two. Romo and Lee. Some other are marginal at best and until we draft more playmakers we will continue to see poor to mediocre teams. I still can't believe we couldn't get even one of those three fumbles! The fact that we did not have an interception from any of our defensive backs in the last seven weeks is telling of just how devoid of playmakers this team has. And to think we have what is called a "high risk high reward" defense. Where was the reward? All we saw was the risks.

I hope we can get some better position coaches in here and start drafting the right kind of players. My boys are now 20 and 18 years old and both are diehard fans and they have seen(or should I say old enough to remember) a total of 1 playoff win. They have seen a total 5 playoff games in that time. The Steelers usually get 3 or 4 every year! This is sad to me to say the least.
