Cowboys twitter practice report - 11/11/15

[Junglist]

makes you wonder if Garrett is losing the team

He is, imo.

 

[Junglist]

I have to admit, I like the prospect of getting DMC back next year with a year in our system under his belt (for whatever that's worth). I'm going to need you to ease up on my boy Cmike though! I stood by your side all night while you worked though that Kellen thing. The least you could do is cut my boy some slack.

I thought Tashard Choice was your boy?

 

[RS12]

Lets get Chaz out there and see what he's got.

Players already focused on next year......only 4.. full participation...that list will get longer if they lose this week......

 

[Bullet22]

That's because he's cheap. LOL. He'll end the year on a high note, we'll sign him long term, and he'll get injured next year.

You are a happy fan...

Some of you need to relax. It was a joke considering the bad luck we've had with injuries this year to important, high paid players.

Folks, the tank is in. Jerry and Stephen left town on their jet and they're turning the light out at VR.
Bad times returning. It's a WRAP for 2015.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

You mean quitting.....players finding excuses not to practice is quitting. If we had a coach w/ any balls he'd be cutting that worthless CM today....

The NFL is not like most places. When you are sick you still come in. You come in and get treatment for your illness.

If we were 6-1, it would be interesting how many players would be reporting sick or injured. These guys are competitors and no one wants to be associated with a losing team. They now have the losing fever and winning is the only cure. Unfortunately there are no doctors in the house to fix this. Even if we pull out a win in TB, I think we're going 4-4 at best for the rest of the season.

 

[Idgit]

It amuses me that people think players are going to stop coming to practice for an NFL team if the team is losing. As if job security at this level means nothing. As if Brice Butler doesn't want more than anything to take snaps or a game day position away from Devin Street. As if Rod Smith gets to Dallas and is like "yeah, we're losing, I'm really not going to try to solidify my spot on this roster because it seems boring."

Seriously, guys. At least try to make the gloom reasonable. Or, failing that, entertaining.

Seems awfully convenient for your sentiment that they all be the same way.

 

[Echo9]

Interesting that one of the Cowboys most durable players thus far this season is Darren McFadden.

you had to write that, didn't you.

 

[DenCWBY]

I reckon so.

 

[Alexander]

It is pretty interesting.

Got to consider he signed a cheap deal.

 

[cej757]

This season is making me sick.

Not me. I Was over it after the Giants loss, I knew it was pretty much over after that. After each loss now I just think about that top 10 draft pick we're gonna get and how much we could use it after this season.

 

[Sasquatch]

I'd forgotten about practice today. This thread reminded me. Now, I wish it had stayed forgotten.

Bet you wish you could forget the last six games as well.

That's what I have been saying. Half these guys "tanking" or who have "quit", aren't even guaranteed to be on the roster in December, let alone next season. No one is tanking and Garrett has not lost this team--yet. That's coming from someone who has been vocal about how underwhelmed I am by Garrett and this staff. I just don't think the team is at that point yet. I see too much fight out on the field still to believe that.

I'm curious to see how they perform this week. Last week had to take a lot out of them.

They're still saying the right things, and Tony's return is just around the corner. Hopefully they can gut out a win here. I agree, though, that I'm not seeing a lot of signs of emotional collapse. Though stuff like the Hardy tweet has me scratching my head.

Definitely, there's nothing to read into with the players on the injury report, though.

The walking wounded. Anybody remembers when Parcells would get on Julius Jones butt for tapping his helmet during a game? These dudes nowadays miss practice with an ingrown toe nail or a infected armpit hair. Ridiculous.
