Honestly whats there to say? We're the worst team in football. They arnt even competitive on the field. I'm convinced the 1989 Cowboys (AFTER the Herschel trade) would kick this team's butts.
1) Somewhere down the road, Jones is going to admit he blew it after the Baltimore and Philly debacles in 2008. It took several seasons, but Jones eventually admitted he should have parted ways with Barry Switzer right after they won the Super Bowl vs Pittsburgh. I like Wade, he is a nice guy. At one time he was an outstanding 3-4 defensive coach. But he's utterly clueless right now. Hindsight is 20-20, but he should have been let go after the Philly game in 2008.
2) If Leonard Davis or Mark Colombo start another game here, I think I'll hurl. I bet if we cut them today, both of them would have a hard time finding immediate employment. They are just awful, run and pass.
3) Fundamentally this may be the worst team in our 50 years of existance. I've never seen such piss-poor blocking & tackling.
4) I thought Jon Kitna played well last week and after he came in vs NYG. I thought he looked awful last night. Looked like a rookie most of the time, locking in one one guy or side of the field, and most plays he was totally oblivious to the blitz or where it was coming from. The OL was just terrible, but he compounded the problem. Threw a couple of horrible picks, and badly missed a wide open Miles Austin for an easy score. McGee will definitely get some PT this season and probably have a number of starts later in the year.
5) I cant believe I see a thread where people are actually complaining about who the interim coach might be. I see posts saying DeMarcus Ware is a 2nd rate player andmore of that garbage of his sacks dont matter. I see posts saying Austin should have never got a contract extension. I still see non-sense about Tashard Choice being the best RB and how he could jump start the offense. The only thing dumber than our team is some of our fans.
6) Worst run in 11-12 quarters ever for our defense, thats rock bottom. There's just no excuse for it either. Some players are still giving all they have, but there are a couple guys who are just useless and a couple more who are absolutely washed up. Guys like Ball, Sensabaugh, Brooking, Olshansky and James should be replaced immediately. Mike Jenkins should be read the riot act about his play on that endzone non tackle and if he does it again, he should be benched the rest of the season. Give other guys chances now. There's nothing good that can become of playing the guys listed.
7) Offensively, Kitna would get a few more starts, unless McGee plays and got hurt. Colombo and Davis should probably be outright released today. Niether of them can play and niether of them have a future here. I'd cut Barber too, not because he sux or doesnt try, but because he isnt part of the future either and is not as good as the two guys he is taking reps from. he could however help a team making a playoff run.
8) As for interim coach, seriously people. Who cares who it is? I still cant believe I saw a thread where people were complaining about it. They should name Garrett interim coach, but for some reason I think it might be DeCamillis. Have no idea why, its just a guess.
9) Dez Bryant is just amazing. Might have the best hands I have ever seen, and he has an absolute warrior mentality. There has to be a ton of teams kicking themselves over passing on this guy. I think his attitude will be infectious to the team, alot like Irvin's was. With him and Austin, we have an unbelievable WR duo for years to come.
10) Nobody does anything but pile on the guy, but Martellus Bennett deserves a little mention for those 2 or 3 catches late in the game and the effort he gave. I think on one of them it took half the GB defense to get him on the ground as he fought for a first down. And the guy busts his tail as a blocker. I still like him on this roster. He's definitely nowhere near the problem some other guys are.
11) Nice game by McCann as a returner, but he was terrible on the field in coverage. Doesnt say much for AOA's return skills though when this guys waltzes in off the practice squad, gets a couple days of reps at KR and then averages almost 30 yds a return. Got hosed on the fumble, but dumb coaching was to blame for that since they were out of timeouts and couldnt challenge.
12) Speaking of challenges, Wade's decision to challenge that 1st down run on the GL has to go down as one of the stuipidest moves ever. It was either going to be a TD or 2nd and inches on the GL. Our defense has shown no ability to stop the run or the pass, did he really believe we were gonna stuff them on 3 straight plays? Ultimately it cost us the 7pts on McCann's fumble play.
This isnt rocket science here. Just go out and hire a competent staff, run a real training camp and make some obvious tweaks to the roster. We can be good next year. But the right people have gotta be put into place here.
