Unless you do the right thing(s).
Jerra, you've always been the most enthusiastic, the most attentive, the most willing-to-open-up-his-walled GM/owner in the NFL.
You don't need me, a nobody albeit a near-genius like me, to help you right your ship. I am merely asking you publically to renounce Satan and do several things.
To me, it is a foregone conclusion that the heady days of 2007 will not return in 2008. The Giants and Skins have muscled up and will be gunning for us even more. Also, the rest of the anemic NFC can't possibly be worse than it was in 2008. And those steroidal teams like the Colts, Pats and Jags will only get better if and when we play them in the regular season.
Thus, Jerra, (and I know you sometimes channel my thoughts because you sometimes make good personnel moves) here are some suggestions . . . no, exhortations from a true Cowboy fan since 1957.
1. Everabody in the world knows we need another corner. Do it.
2. Everybody in the world knows we need another blue-chip WR to replace the aging and injured Terry Glenn. Not that big-mouth, big-game choker Patty Crayton. R. Williams can be had. Go get him.
3. Old Man Brad Johnson will be a year older next season. And that ain't good. Don't go to the draft for a backup QB. We need a young, agile and hardnosed backup QB from FA who can step up and play immediately if needed.
4. Is there any doubt we also need a blue-chip veteran safety? Go do it (please).
5. An intensive all-hands on deck clinic on pressuring the QB. Did you see the way the Giants were swarming Brady? Did you see how Brady was being harassed into making hurried throws, off-throws and being chased? It was a thang of beauty. More beautiful than a K.C. platter for two on a Saturday night in Colorado City. More beautiful than Joely Richardson in a nightgown. More beautiful than an ice-cold bottle of Shiner Bock after, um, wrestling with Joely Richardson. The Giants defense was superb. And don't tell me it was the athletes themselves. The defensive coaches WILLED their athletes to do it.
So, I say unto you, Jerra, o mighty conquerer and future HOFer, go get Capers to take over DC duties. Stewart can be an assistant. He can go elsewhere. He can become Wade's personal assistant. He can go coach somewhere else. I don't care. So you hurt his feelings. Mr. Stewart, welcome to the NFL where you don't have 3-4 years to excel. With the athletic brutes that jerra had in place for you, you could have built DoomsDay II, but you didn't. Capers can do it.
Only then can you hope to get into the playoffs next year, much less home-field advantage. This was a star-studded team that faltered when it counted most, and the lack of coaching leadership was the root cause.
OK, jerra, don't send me a consulting fee. I would not accept it and would instead give it to promote world peace or give it to the orphans in Finland. No, Jerra, this advice is free because I live and die Cowboys. Because I care and because that is the kind of nice guy that I am.
I only ask you to mention me in your HOF induction.
And those are not tears in my eyes, jerra, that is the mace the girls keep spraying in mah face, bless their little mallrat hearts.
