Dez, Carr, & Hatcher Post-Game Comments..."in order to win, you've got to be passionate"

[CaptainMorgan]

I dont care what anyone says I 100% agree with Dez and love his passion. It has been sorely missed around here.

Stop accepting mediocrity Cowboys!

We lost off of that play because of the penalty. The play call was reasonable. Taking a knee there would also have been permissible. The goal there, 3rd and over 10, is to make sure you kill 40 seconds of clock on that play.

Passion is a good and necessary thing. Dez wasn't showing passion on the sidelines today. He was showing petulance. If we were at 3rd and 5, then fling that ball try and win the game right there, but there's just not many 15 yard guaranteed plays in the bag, and most of them could end up burning zero clock.

Play to win. What a novel concept. It can't be that alien to Garrett because Jimmy hammered it into the 90's team every week, every day, every second.

 

[Doomsay]

Why did the holding on Smith stop the clock? Is that the rule or did they mess up?

"With the exception of the last two minutes of the first half and the last five minutes of the second half, the game clock will be restarted following a kickoff return, a player going out of bounds on a play from scrimmage, or after declined penalties when appropriate on the referee’s signal."

Apparently the Lions knew that, not sure if the Garrett led Cowboys did, otherwise, Tony's helmet speaker should have been ringing with "no penalties and we win this game, I repeat, no penalties"

ive always felt that are biggest problem is we keep teams in the game. we never play with that go for their throats approach. its refreshing to see someone on the team vocalize that. the media is really trying to bait this kid into being the next T.O. but he's really backing up his passion and sounding like a leader in my opinion. love it.

thats my thing as a coach how do you not know that and tell your team that. it looked like garrett was mouthing to the refs why no run off? inexcusable.

 

[koolaid]

Its true. No need to look any further than Tom Brady. Passion can push people to another level.

 

[kevm3]

Dez pointed to the key problem of the cowboys. The offensive philosophy stinks. We only play up to the competition and rarely do what it takes to blow them out. If we build up a big lead, we stop marching down the field and we let them catch up. If we're losing, we wait until the 4th quarter to unleash Romo. We need a real playcaller in here that will toss that Garrett nonsense out. Callahan isn't getting it done either. We need an aggressive OC who isn't afraid to keep his foot on the pedal.

 

[MagicMan]

I want players who HATE to lose......and coaches who PLAY to win the game.

 

[JPostSam]

Being passionate doesn't mean you have rant and rave. I'm sure they'd have real productive sideline meetings with all 11 offensive players sitting there yelling about how each other isn't doing their job.

Dez isn't going to change anything by firing off on everyone in sight on the sidelines. Anyone think he's going to change the way Garrett does things at all? Is Callahan going to do anything differently up in the booth because of Dez storming up and down the sidelines? Is Romo going to deliberately try to appease Dez even though it may not be in the best interest of the team?

Doubt it. He isn't changing anything or setting some sort of great example. He's being a loose cannon and in all likelihood he's probably pissing people off.

please. if this is irvin, we all say how we love his fire. if this is aikman, we say he is motivating his team and being a leader. listen to romo saying that all dez cares about is winning, that he has never demanded the ball, that all he does is pump up his teammates. dez is the opposite of TO, and we need more guys like him -- on both sides of the ball.

I miss these days. Right now I am totally fed up with all this smart guys around here. Get vocal leaders (players and coaches) in here and kick some butt. Man, I miss that.

 

[Ender]

What part of the process is this?

I disagree. His presence will change ......something. And after 17 18 years of failing.........DEZ may be just the right ingredient to "mix it up". And change to something else........


Maybe, No guaranties , but maybe to a winner.......at this point.....we just need the change.....not the company line....

Just my opinion....

i said to my bro today, itd be nice to just watch one game where we blow the team out or the opponents not still magically in it with like a minute left. we rarely do that with anyone anymore.

 

[rags747]

Kind of unclear how I feel about Dez on the sideline today but one thing I do know after watching that vid of him is that he is the only g damn m fffer who seems to have a passion for this team and it absolutely kills him to loose. He said it himself, u have got to have some dog in you to play this game, this team does not have enough of players like Dez. Give me 22 Dez's on this team and we would be a tough beat. The great ones have all had passion.

 

[rags747]

Let me add, Sean Lee has some dog in him too.

Just my opinion....

I agree, even if the coaches were ticked off at what he did, he still got their attention. The message was definitely delivered by their star player.

 

[nyc-cowboy]

... says Dez Bryant, experienced winner?

I'll answer that this way

Who is Dez more like: Wade and Jason OR Jimmy and Bill....

 

[mitchell2254]

If this team would buy into what Dez feels we could go places. Ware and Witten telling him to calm down.. ok.. an NFL field has no intensity just stay calm

If JG keeps taking this team down this road to mediocrity, it will be the firing process.
