Twitter: Dez trolls Cowboys OC Linehan during loss to Panthers

[Praxit]

Well, we got rid of one, now Linehan should be next.

 

[Hawkeye19]

So if Dallas comes out and puts 20+ points on NY on Sun and wins— does that mean Dez sux, Garrett is a great coach, Linehan a great OC, Dak a great QB etc...?

Of course not. So one bad game doesn’t mean much either. The team laid an absolute collective egg on the road in Denver last year— and rebounded. Lets see where we are at after week 4 before passing total judgment on the 2018 Cowboys.

Lots of football left to play. Are there reasons for concern? Yes. Are they insurmountable? Would not go that far... I want to see how this young team responds to that performance and all the media and fan backlash.

Would love to see them collectively make a statement game next week

Everyone knows the OC and HC are the main reason for the struggles. They can’t game plan to help their players succeed. They just want guys to win head to head battles every play.

Not everybody. There is almost nothing Dak does well right about now. He can hit a receiver who isn't moving ok, I guess.

Put the blame on ownership. Garrett doesn't deal the cards.

 

[Tommy]

Why isnt the team he was on a contending team now without him??

Umm? Was that a serious question?

They were not a contending team last year with him. Not having Dez in the lineup yesterday was not what was wrong with our offense. Think back about 8 months ago. We had the same problems with him.

 

[dfense]

Dez is absolutely killing his employment opportunities.

 

[3rd_n_inches]

Convincing Jerry to get rid of Dez will ultimately be Linehan’s undoing.



Good for him

Linehan has done it before with the Rams if I am not mistaken.

 

[Praxit]

..come to think of it, maybe Dez did us a favor..lol..

 

[InTheZone]

Fire Linehan and Garrett... apologize to Dez and bring him back where he belongs.

It's not his fault our coaches couldn't maximize his performance. That is on the coaches.

And if Dak doesn't like it he can go too.

If I was Dez I'm not coming back until another player is gone.

Wrong


I was told that Dez was holding the QB back and him not being here would improve this offense. I was also told that Dak played his best games of his career without Dez.

And btw, this was a contending team with Dez in 2016. You know, the year bfor opposing defenses had an off season to exploint the weaknesses of this trash QB

 

[jazzcat22]

Dez was part of the problem but so are Garrett and Linehan.

If they would have got rid of the problems of Garrett and Linehan, and kept Dez. Then Dez would be part of the solution.

 

[IrishAnto]

Knowing the routes and running them properly are not the same thing.

True but he didn’t know them either and didn’t run the ones he did know properly.
Double whammy.

 

[jazzcat22]

I don't think he was criticizing the routes. He was criticizing the fact that he knew which routes we were going to run based on the formation. Linehan is just too predictable.

 

[dragon_mikal]

I don’t blame him. Dude gave his all for the team and he was kicked to the curb per usual by the FO and the fan base all in the name of finding another scapegoat to lead to the alter of Garrett and Dak.

He and Witten were blamed by some on here for being the sole reasons the offense struggled. Ridiculous.

Murray, Romo, Dez, Bailey, Witten...all given the boot to cover the failures of others. Pathetic.

Yes I know Witten retired.

 

[Colombiacowboy]

Dez would have made zero difference yesterday.

The most intelligent statement of this thread.

Your skipped over 2017. We had Dez on our team last year. I don’t remember him coming through for us to save the day in these situations last season. Are you saying he would have yesterday?

Still Unemployed.

By his choosing.

I think you are right, things can get better, BUT the team is far away from being a contender right now. This falls on the shoulders of the coaches and admin.

 

[mattjames2010]

Who’s come a calling? Browns? Lol

Both Ravens and Browns wanted him - Ravens wanted him long term, actually.

For sure. But this a very young, inexperienced team that has not played together much. Lots of new personnel— and a large leadership void.

No excuses. They have this year to show me something. But I realize there are bound to be giant growing pains considering the roster moves.

If we can be 7-5 or better heading into Dec, this team has enough talent to peak late and make a run. Likewise— if they cannot right the ship and they go 0-4 to start the year— their inexperience and the adversity may end up dropping them to a 5-11 or worse kind of year.

Just too early to tell yet
