Dak: Our team culture is great

[MyFairLady]

That's the problem.......vocal leader who can walk the talk. Dez was close.......

I agree 100% what we need is to have our best players and management care about winning above all else. I disagree about Dez though. He was a loud mouth child. He was no leader. He tore down anything that resembled leadership. He was a physically gifted demi god who got away without working on his craft or preparing for the games. He set a terrible example for everyone on the team and did nothing to elevate others or hold others accountable. The only way to win with a guy like him is to have amazing leadership in place who can control him and direct him. Instead we had a clown show GM who hired him a baby sitter.

Well, he put it out there. Maybe if he would shut his mouth nobody will hurt is fragile feelings, huh?

The Cowboys don’t have a championship culture. They play well during the regular season and don’t show up for the playoffs. The players don’t look motivated or excited about the postseason.

But when it came time to practice and play the games they were big bad Dogs.

They were. Which brings me back to my original statement. Is it a culture issue or a personnel issue? They won in the 90's with a bunch of Hall of Famers. I don't count too many Hall of Fame careers on this team.

 

[Captain-Crash]

why are we going to pay a guy 60 million if he's not a leader and has to be carried?

“Yeah, the culture is high honestly, and the culture is great from my standpoint. . . . My point is that’s something I’ve bragged on and took pride in,” Prescott said, via Garrett Podell of CBSSports.com. “So if there’s questions of that or concerns on that, I feel attacked. I’m sure some guys in the locker room do, but at the end of the day, it’s a business, and the way that this business plays out, people don’t get exactly what they want. There’s always sourness I guess you could say somewhere. I don’t want to make anything bigger than that.”

First, 'from my standpoint' suggests what he thinks may be different from what teammates' think. That puts a target on his own back. Then, 'I feel attacked' suggests he dislikes that particular line of questioning. Inquires irk him as a result. Adding 'it's a business' will not disqualify outside perception to the contrary. It attracts higher scrutiny.

Anyone can say whatever they want. That said, saying more than necessary will invite more questions instead of preventing them.

No culture is ideal
But at least the one we had while he was here WON CHAMPIONSHIPS
It was so good we won one two years after he left

Might have a lot to do with having players like Deion Sanders after he left.

 

[Captain-Crash]

he should have just choked up and acted like he couldn't talk, we would understand that, since we've seen it in a lot of games.

 

[Blue&Silver]

I remember last year when Dak said he felt better than he's ever felt before. I knew that was trouble for what was coming.

Jimmys team was doing drugs at the White House. I’m just saying we may be missing Jimmy but we he culture was never ideal here.

In the sense it's being talked about here, the culture was a good as it gets with those teams. Don't take my word for it. Ask Irvin or Aikman. I just heard Newton talking about it not long ago. They were a team in every sense of the word. They played for each other. They challenged each other. They bought in to the common goal and it most definitely showed on the field.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Nice so the culture that left you unprepared and crapping the bed against GB in the playoffs just as had happened the 2 years before in SF is 'great.'

 

[morat1959]

Lol, he can't recognize that there is no mental toughness

Because that’s one of his many flaws.

 

[Captain-Crash]

Well, he put it out there. Maybe if he would shut his mouth nobody will hurt is fragile feelings, huh?

 

[Rayman70]

sure Dak.

 

[Rockport]

I remember last year when Dak said he felt better than he's ever felt before. I knew that was trouble for what was coming.

You mean an MVP type season?

 

[Captain-Crash]

He first hides out for a while then he tries to do a makeover like nobody would remember he's the choker.

I remember last year when Dak said he felt better than he's ever felt before. I knew that was trouble for what was coming.

Every player says that every year. Even some coming off of an injury.

 

[5Stars]

You sound like a 12 year old girl.

I already replied to your insult, but since I replied back it got deleted. But, keep up the insults.

 

[Rayman70]

Daks been attending the Dale Carnegie class of Jerry Jones 101 for the last several years. Daks is now the valedictorian. lol

 

[DandyDon52]

If Dak and others cant admit they have a bad culture, then they will not ( and cannot) fix it.
That leaves us with a team that plays like in the GB wc game.
