intense and competitive is exactly what the Cowboys camps should be. The Cowboys have been horrible for a very long time. And even for the guys who have made it and are making their millions and millions. They have got to be tired of losing. And their team being a bit of a joke throughout the league.

We all have been watching football for a long time I would guess.

And I am just going to say it....Unlike other "promising" years, last year was different. This team is different. I think, we witnessed the birth of what will become a dynasty. I think Jason Garrett will win 3 maybe 4 SBs before its all said and done. (depending on what QB he gets after Romo)

Its coming together for the Cowboys. I see and feel it happening. Aa team takes on the persona of its leadership. Leadership has been shifted to Stephen, Garrett , Clay.. Linehan, Marinelli. These names will make the Cowboys, the Cowboys again.......

Its been a long time coming......

I actually think the interview is a lot more negative toned than the OP makes it seem. At least thats the way I take it. http://www.nj.com/giants/index.ssf/2015/08/difference_between_cowboys_and_giants_practice_dwa.html

The Giants are known as a professional, well-run organization from top to bottom. They've won two Super Bowls over the past eight seasons. Some consider their head coaching job the "gold standard."

The Dallas Cowboys, under the ownership of Jerry Jones, are known as the wild, crazy, impulsive America's Team. They haven't won a Super Bowl in the 21st century. They're the kind of organization that signs defensive end Greg Hardy, a domestic abuser, and promotes its training camp brawl on the team's website and social media. With the Cowboys, the owner makes the personnel decisions because, well, he's also the general manager.

Jones never shies away from attention. He doesn't worry about, say, putting Chris Christie in the owners' box and exchanging awkward hugs and high fives in front of millions.

The two organizations couldn't be any more different in how they operate. New Giants wide receiver Dwayne Harris, after signing a lucrative deal as a free agent this offseason following four years in Dallas, sees a stark contrast in how the two teams practice as well.

"The way [the Giants] practice, it's so much fun. I love the way we practice," Harris said in this week's 'Talk Is Cheap' podcast episode.

"[In Dallas] it's a lot of just ... arguing. There is always arguing. People [are] always arguing. And here, we have a good time, we have fun, go out and have practice as professionals.

"In Dallas, it's more intense. There is a lot more buildup. We do one-on-ones or defense vs. offense. I think there is more intensity there. This is more professional. Everyone is trying to keep each other safe."

Arguing, huh? With wide receiver Dez Bryant and cornerback Orlando Scandrick on the roster? Who would've thunk it?

It sometimes extends beyond arguing as well.

"In Dallas, it's like all-out brawl," said Harris, several hours before the Giants had anugly fight of their own on the practice field. "It's an all-out brawl."

Well if arguing leads to 5 straight wins versus the professional have fun giants then I'm going to training camp and talk about everybody's mama

Heard an interview on a Giants podcast where they interviewed Dwayne Harris and asked him to compare and contrast the Cowboys/Giants environment

Said Cowboys practices are much more intense and competitive.. Described everyone as being on edge

Said Giants practice is more "Professional" and that guys have fun and look out for each other's safety

Also commented on the Dez/Patmon situation and said that that is normal for Cowboys practices and that Dez is just that way and that it isn't a big deal

Additionally said that the Giants were an overall more finesse group

Just thought it was interesting to hear what he had to say.. I am glad that we are on the intense side of things rather than the finesse side of things lol


if you want to listen to the whole thing here is the link http://www.nj.com/giants/index.ssf/2015/08/listen_giants_training_camp_overview_surprises_top.html

Remember when former players would say the opposite.

His DL was primary in doing that. That and a lot of luck got them there as well. But I do think Coughlin is a good coach.

Absolutely. His coaching has also helped them to miss the playoffs 5 of the past 6 seasons. The one year they made it they were 9-7. Unfortunately, Kyle Williams and others helped to gift wrap another miracle SB for them during that one appearance over the past 6 years.

We've beaten them 4 straight and 5 of the past 6 (with the only loss being a result of Dez's fingertip landing out of bounds). We're gonna sweep their fun-lovin', finesse butts AGAIN this season.

Didn't realize Dallas was so physical and salty. Good to hear.

whether or not you agree with Harris comments. Coughlin has gotten that team two superbowls by doing so.

Those Giant SB teams practiced more like we do now vs how the currently do.
The script has flipped.

I love how work is structured with the Cowboys.

On the flip, it didn't take Harris very long to gain a New York arrogance about things that can be hidden behind a mud in your eye attitude.

:laugh: It is such a wonderful feeling to see all the optimism from the members.

Again, he said Giants were more professional. Guess we view his point of view differently.

But more professional doesn't mean unprofessional.

It's like saying one girl is more good-looking than another. It doesn't mean the other girl is ugly. It's just that she's less prettier than the more good-looking one.

Plus, based on the other complimentary stuff he said about the Cowboys, I don't think he was saying the Cowboys were unprofessional.

Besides, he has to throw his new team a bone. He can't say, "The Cowboys organization and practices are just all around better than the Giants." :) ;)

We all have been watching football for a long time I would guess.

And I am just going to say it....Unlike other "promising" years, last year was different. This team is different. I think, we witnessed the birth of what will become a dynasty. I think Jason Garrett will win 3 maybe 4 SBs before its all said and done. (depending on what QB he gets after Romo)

Its coming together for the Cowboys. I see and feel it happening. Aa team takes on the persona of its leadership. Leadership has been shifted to Stephen, Garrett , Clay.. Linehan, Marinelli. These names will make the Cowboys, the Cowboys again.......

Its been a long time coming......

I am very optimistic with this team, but to talk dynasty, when this team has not won a SB is ridiculous. In the salary cap era(I do not count the 90's cowboys because the cap just started), the only dynasty as been the Pats.
