News: DMN: Barry Church: I see why Scandrick upset at not playing more, but 'it was his fault he was...

[LittleBoyBlue]

I like Barry Church a lot.

Praise.

Amen.

This is completely unrelated to anything, but using my super elite awesome web hax0ring skillz, I just discovered that these smilies are actually derived from a single image containing others we didn't know about! My last 10.5 years on this forum have been a lie! Behold, all smilies in their full glory:

I really need some sleep.

I had something else in mind.

Players have media obligations. In fact if they don't speak they are fined.

Are you new to football?

I don't think you understand my point. Sure-- every team has media obligations-- but not every team says as many dumb things as Dallas does. It's been going on for years-- nothing new really.

Overall-- I just think they'd benefit from saying less than they normally do.

Church is and has been a liability in coverage. He will have to be replaced if the team is serious about the S position (sure isn't currently). Church is just too slow in coverage. He can tackle...that's about it. We haven't played a real QB yet...he is an ideal 3rd S. The talent has been so lacking back there that we seem to embrace him for just that reason alone.

I think you've misdiagnosed the problem. Church is an excellent SS, he just needs to play next to an excellent FS.

The whooping we took last year would have been even worse without Church stopping so many guys in one on one situations.

I agree that he is a great old school S in the mold of Roy W but can we expect him to ever thrive in coverage? New age TEs and scatbacks make the SS much more similar to the FS build (albeit a better tackler). I just don't think Church has that range. He is a good player and has worked on his speed since a rook, but he is still slower than most of our LBs.

Barry Church, could you lend your pair to Jason Garrett?

 

[Deep_Freeze]

Mr. Church, you got Jimmy Graham this week, stop talking and show me something cause all I smell is burnt toast.

I don't think you pay attention to what is said around the league.

Also I think this group of players is actually pretty freaking good in front of the media.

Finally I think you're just making things up.

Players are never obligated to criticize their teammates, justifiably or not. Welcome to class.

Barry was criticizing his teammates here? Where?

Still in class? Great.
Look up definition for criticize, locate terms like "find fault with" and "blame" cross reference with text and report back.

Cowboys safety Barry Church joined KRLD-FM 105.3. Here are some highlights.

On Orlando Scandrick being peeved at not playing every down against the Rams

Barry Church: I definitely see where he's coming from. He worked hard during his suspension. He felt like he deserved to get out there. But in the same sense, he kind of brought that on himself as far as the suspension. He has nobody to blame but himself for that. When he came back and Mo was starting ahead of him, I completely agree with the coaches on that. It was his fault that he was suspended.

What does that interception at the end of the game do for Morris Claiborne?

Barry Church: I think that interception reinforces in his mind that he can make plays in this league. He got beat a couple of times in this game but all great defensive backs get beat every now and then. He's just gotta have a short-term memory.

Pump up the Mo. If we can get this guy playing like his draft status suggests he should, that would be cool. Grow a pair and play ball Mo. I was high on Mo when we drafted him. I'm ready to see him play ball like I know he can. Pretty sure I know he can, I watched him in college and he was way better than this. Yeah, I know he can play better then he has been playing. I think.

Anyways, I hope Mo gains confidence in this and grows as a player and team mate. We need him in the worst way. Not giving up hope yet, but I can see the exit ramp called Bust and am in the right hand lane. I can make it, just dont give me a reason to take.it.

You'll need summer school this upcoming year.

Saying his teammates need to be held accountable isn't criticism.

It's leadership and it's good to hear. And it certainly doesn't show lack of class.

"You need to be accountable for your drug related suspension and demotion" The definition of criticism. Just because it's justified, doesn't mean that it isn't a critical assessment.

Be cool, stay in school.

Saying people are held accountable for their actions isn't criticism just because you're talking about a specific incident.

Also, what exactly was classless about his statement?

And no I'm done with my education. A BS and MBA from a top school/program is enough for me.

 

[blumayne38]

When does he play wreckless he is the most sound saftey we have becausebhebhardly takes risks

Church is a favorite of mine he calls it like he sees it. I am really glad we have a steady Safety back there. I know he can play reckless and it causes break downs on plays but I like his style and what he brings. Now if we can pair him with a decent safety that would be great

 

[Doomsay]

But that's not what he was saying, was it?

Also, what exactly was classless about his statement?

I don't know, who said that there was anything classless? Or did you just make that up for effect?

And no I'm done with my education. A BS and MBA from a top school/program is enough for me.

Do tell!

 

[blumayne38]

I remember him making a openfield tackle on Peterson where church seriously cover two gaps and made the tackle pffft church not a good saftey?? C'mon Man!!!

I think you've misdiagnosed the problem. Church is an excellent SS, he just needs to play next to an excellent FS.

That reporter went to Church to hear the gospel......

Mr. Church, you got Jimmy Graham this week, stop talking and show me something cause all I smell is burnt toast.

Jimmy Graham is a premiere talent and probably the best TE in football. He toasts EVERYONE so Church will be in good company.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

Good for Church. I like it.
