Cowboys chippy in practice

[CouchCoach]

Not to worry, they'll lose that chippiness in CHI.

We probably will come out and play hard. But, the inevitable storm of mistakes will come anyways. A 3rd down drop here, a couple of holding calls there, the inevitable special teams miscue. I unfortunately am skeptical that we can clean it up even if we lock in now.

What you are talking about is what had given me hope for improvement - thinking these little nagging things that keep getting in our way could be cleaned up. Stepping on our own toes seemed to be the problem in our losses. But Thursday it just felt like we got outplayed.

Heard this countless times. All talk.

Where has this energy been from the 4th game on.

 

[pacy]

I almost had a heart attack. I thought Chip Kelly was at practice.

Jason needs to let some of these guys play angry. Not wreckless but a little angry playing is good. He tries to get them too much on an even keel.

*yawn* We've seen this song and dance before. They get motivated....for all of like 5 minutes...then return to their lame ways.

 

[Mk2_Cowboys]

Nobody cares about how good they are in practice .

and be meek as lambs for their weekly buttwhopping

If there is no hope this season, then why not wait until after the season when there is time to fully explore all options for a new HC?

Why not fire Garrett and hire Meyer and give him the rest of the season to evaluate all assistant coaches and the roster?

Todd Archer Staff Writer
After the loss to Buffalo, Ezekiel Elliott said the team was "pissed off." Elliott said Sunday's practice was good. "Great energy, guys were on their stuff," Elliott said. "Guys had a little stuff in their neck, just a little chippy and ready to go." A 6-6, the Cowboys remain in first place in the NFC East but have lost six of their last nine games, heading into Thursday's game against Chicago.

Yada yada yada....

Where was that chippyness when Bills QB1 Allen was punking the defense....?

Oh we absolutely got outplayed on Thursday.

I guess it's possible that Dallas becomes a disciplined team. These are professionals. But, they're also humans. Humans are creatures of habit. If you let a guy hold in practice for months, they'll hold in the game. If a dlineman lines up just a few feet in the incorrect direction a handful of times in practice for months, they'll eventually do it in a game. From this teams performance over the years and Garrett's "big picture" type comments, I just don't think we pay any attention to detail and it'll take a training camp to correct.

Cheers to me being wrong!

Because that would require Jerry give up on Garret and Jerry's not there yet.

Do you even know Meyer would take the job? And even if he would, while there might be a benefit to evaluating current assistants, there might also be benefit to Meyer startng fresh next year, with new systems, new procedures, new schemes, his guys working for him etc …, rather than his first presence with the team being guided by the current systems, procedures, schemes, assistants etc ….. In other words, a fresh start in a situation where he can change whatever he wants. He wouldn't be in that situation now. If he came in now it would simply amount to everything being the same except the guy giving the speeches in the locker room.

Time for a new lame slogan, maybe throw some business the way of the local T-shirt printer.
"Lets get Chippy
Yippee, Yippee, Yippee"

 

[atlantacowboy]

So, when is the ominous "players only meeting" happening?

Part Deux is likely thursday night

 

[Ebnorice]

Too little too late

I mean technically not really too late. But probably to little.

 

[Mr_437]

What exactly does having stuff in your neck look like
Make sure you pack the whoop-*** boys, or that stuff in your neck might spread

Right. Pack that whoop***.

Im ready to start a petition to get us of national television. As if its not embarrassing enough, we get to flounder in front of the entire nation. Lol

You better not.

I don’t live in the Dallas television market. I need the National games.

Yeah I know we still have a chance, just doesn't feel like we can do much against the top tier teams though.
