You can tell Dallas has more intense practices than the Giants. The Cowboys are just more physical.
I think it might have alot to do with Rod

Is Wade Phillips coaching over in NY now?
Cowboys don't run a camp cupcake like the Aints

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."
So your lazy?
jk bro
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

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.
Not when it comes to modding my Nerf blasters in preparation for office sneak attacks, anyway.
whether or not you agree with Harris comments. Coughlin has gotten that team two superbowls by doing so.
aaand I use the wrong form of you're.
I'm so stupid.
Thanks for not pointing out my obvious idiocy.
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.
Again, he said Giants were more professional. Guess we view his point of view differently.

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......
