I know what you're saying Dave, but at some point a "kick-in-the-pants" is warranted.

The guy has been soft. I can't think of any other word that describes him better than that. And his behavior after being demoted falls right in line with that.

He's very immature. He was pointing fingers after every play he blew on Sunday.
 
playing poor and getting demoted is a natural occurrence in any sport. once that happens, there are two ways to handle it. one, is to act like a tool, throw a tantrum, and run away (what Claiborne did). two, you can use it as motivation. You, can study film like mad, hit the weight room and get into great shape, get out on the field and practice your technique over and over and over, until you improve enough to steal your starting position back.

Bingo! Use it as motivation and show a little character. Great post
 
Accountability has actually happened within this organization.

ABOUT FRICKIN TIME.

What would Mo do if he was on the Jets?

Answer: If he played poorly he would be demoted regardless of draft position.

Mo's answer: Perform well enough to see the field again.

I agree with this, although when you have a DL with 1 total sack in 3 games, Mo isn't all of the problem.
 
Haven't had time to go through all 19 pages, but is he getting demoted all the way to 4th on the depth chart?

Because your first 3 CB's are essentially starters. Unless Scandrick AND Moore got moved ahead of him, he's just being a baby.

Hey, the Cowboys fans need to show Sun night if not just to celebrate the "demotion" of Claiborne.:starspin:

Please don't try to move any of the blame for Mo losing his man in coverage or not being a willing or effective participant in run support on the DL. Mo would suck with the '75 Steeler front four. He is lost and is in no way shape or form ready to be even serviceable at this level
 
This is going to turn into another one of those "McClain is Crazy" threads. I'm going to bed and hope I don't wake up from this beautiful dream.

I'm not saying Mo is great by any means, what I am saying is when you are second to last in the league in sacks, being over the top hard on your CBs is a bit naive.

I hear you on the DL but Mo's subpar performance since he was drafted is deserving of an asskicking and no one is being over the top hard on the kid. The criticism is warranted.
 
As I said earlier, Jerry has every right to call out any player on the team, especially one that they traded a 2nd round pick for that hasn't lived up to expectations.

for all the **** I give jerri, I agree and as far as I am concerned, I'd be happy if he was far more demanding of all players all the time
