Dak: Our team culture is great

[SultanOfSix]

Sorry, but this is funny.

As for the culture thing: yes, the culture may be great...SUBJECTIVELY.

But it's certainly not a winning culture.

 

[bewp7]

just because u get along dont mean u have a good culture

i know FOR A FACT they do not have a good (winning) culture because not 1 of them showed up for a HOME PLAYOFF GAME (well a few did i admit but they was lesser guy)

so spare me!!!!!

i wish they was fighting and calling each other out for bs and holding each other accountible and lifting each other up that is good culture not going shopping together for louis vuitton girl purses like dak think is good culture

 

[DandyDon52]

I agree.......but how do you fix it?

they have to first admit there is a problem with the culture etc.

A couple of information-seeking questions could have been, "What were the similarities or differences between the cultures at Mississippi State and Dallas? And what were the pros and cons between the two?" That would have made him think more heavily upon an answer instead of providing a fairly static response. Media questions are usually of the softball, noninvasive variety, so those would not have been considered or asked.

You know what I don't get, maybe because I don't understand, but what does "culture" really mean anyway?

What kind of culture? There are many reasons for culture, but in this instance, I have no clue what it means pertaining to the Cowboys.

Other members will likely give their perspectives but I am a sociology buff and consider culture in those terms. As far as any sports team, I consider internal culture as the intertwined application of managerial and coaching practices, as they are expressly and subliminally learned and adopted by the players. Individual behaviors and personal standards are imprinted by the 'norms' that the players experience day-in day-out.

In my opinion, a winning team-oriented culture is single-minded--utilizing a set of norms that demands the best contributions from everyone from top to bottom. Leadership is an overwhelming guiding component of that narrow focus, which should come primarily from a head coach and mirrored by the players' main figurehead.

Sometimes, head coach and top player are a marriage of each other, a ying and a yang, in the best or even worse circumstances. Bill Belichick and Tom Brady were an excellent co-partnership of that dynamic in recent NFL history. Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes have symbolize the same.

Just my take.

The cupcake culture with no rules or regulations. You play up the good guy image and sell jerseys. It works so Jerry isn't changing it.

 

[fivetwos]

How exactly does he know? What does he have to compare it to, the Mississippi State locker room?

The former star players who usually kiss Jerry’s behind claim a culture problem.

I guess it’s normal to defend the teacher who doesn’t care if you do your homework. That’s easier.

As long as Jerry Jones continues to defend poor play and claim everything is great, the further away they are.

What’s worse is they aren’t building on something here. This situation has peaked…they are losing good players and depth faster than replacing them.

And someone please tell me if they couldn’t win with Lamb and Parsons on rookie deals, how are they going to pull it off after those two and Dak are taking up around half of the cap?

 

[Rayman70]

the culture is one of passivity and meekness. Its all just fools gold in the regular season.

 

[Captain-Crash]

"Dak: Our team culture is great" the last time he complained he got two guys off the team.

 

[nobody]

I think it’s just a thing to say now. Does anyone really know what a poor culture is lol? Do Chiefs have a great culture or great players that step up when needed?

Patriots culture was great when Brady was there now it sucks when he’s not. The culture never left the success did.

Dude, people have been saying there's a culture problem for 20 years. It's not just a thing to say now. And the results of the Cowboys play in the playoffs has shown there IS a culture problem. They just don't show up to play.

 

[TNCowboy]

The same culture didn’t change between 96 and 97…..culture is just the new buzz word. We have one every offseason. Jerry is why we haven’t won in 28 years not culture.

The culture began to deteriorate in 1994, until it was completely gone by 1997. Jerry is the culture.

 

[Blue&Silver]

You mean an MVP type season?

I heard that talk from fans, and some sportscasters. No I just remember Dak saying he felt better than he ever has, and I cringed.

 

[Blue&Silver]

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

Yeah, but this was in the middle of the season when things were going well. I don't mind hearing that going into the playoffs, or in the playoffs but the middle of the season is a no-no when each game gets tougher towards the end.

 

[Blast From The Past]

Dak needs to change his sleep number because he is delusional.

 

[SwagSurfer]

5 Dak threads in the top 10 in this forum. CZ is hitting its stride early.

 

[Zekeats]

Maybe he's telling the truth but something is missing in that locker room. I can't quite put my fingers on it but I don't sense a strong leadership presence on this team. By that, I mean one or two players the entire team looks up to and respect.

Funny seems the culture is a little different in the playoffs.

Good. I’m glad it upset you.

Why does lack of culture only show up in certain games? So when they win 12 games in season the culture is fine. It’s only bad in the losses?

And Jerry has ran this team the same way since he’s been here.
