Ex-Cowboy Tony Casillas Calls Out Jerry

[CT Dal Fan]

I am not sure it will reach Jerry's ears and I'm sure it won't matter if it does. But former Cowboys DT Tony Casillas had this to say in an interview on Fox 4 in Dallas:

"How close are you, Jerry?," Casillas asked. "You're 7-9-1. We saw that Giants game. They didn't play to win. If you're playing for the fan base, then try to go out there and win a game against the Giants and win against an NFC rival division opponent. To me, that's showing the fan base, we're still going to play. We're not going to surrender and throw up the white flag. To me, I just don't think that sits very well with the fan base."

I would normally agree with Tony. But on this Jerry was correct. Losing this game helped us big-time. Big difference picking 12th and 20th rather than 3 or more spots down the draft board. Nobody will remember that last Giants loss if we draft well

Well, we ALL KNOW Jerry couldn't care less about the fans. Nothing new to see here.......

if you have ask that question you will never understand the answer

He wasn't the tallest or biggest but damn was he scrappy and tough. Underrated guy that was key to us winning alot of games. Dude was gritty. High effort

 

[Rayman70]

Means if you were going to get past him, there was a price to pay.

I know exactly what you mean

Tony Cassilas stood like a picket fence wrapped in barbed wire on the DL.

He was everything the Cowboys of today were missing before Clark and Williams. He was a clogger.

Any moment now the usual suspects will be here to bad mouth Tony to defend king Jerry.

Well said!
By playing backups in this “practice game”, Jerry was finally playing for our future. This was a smart move by Jerry. He usually try’s to win these “practice games” at the end of the year.

GB losing in the Wildcard game helped too!

Look at KC. Did they go all out to win “practice games” after they were out of the playoffs. Hel_ no!!!
They are one of the smartest organizations and they played for their future late in the season.

Uhhh yeah I typically like listening to Casillas but uh.....I expected him to make a point about the last 30 years....he's referencing the Giants game in which we needed to lose?

I’m sorry Tony but winning that game did nothing for the team except give us a worse player in the upcoming draft

Right I think most of the fan base was happy we lost. Winning that game would have done anything to help us.

When Jimmy brought on Casillas from Atlanta. He changed the dynamics of the defense. Kind of like what Williams can do.

He was considered a bust in Atlanta, but played to his draft status here.
Haley was then the missing piece that put it all together on defense.

I am not sure why he is picking out the NY game, but every fan knows a loss was better.
And it wasn’t like they went out and lost on purpose.
The defense, who was missing a lot of starters anyway due to injuries was not going to play well. And to get Milton playing time was the right thing to do, and not risk Dak.

Blue and Mafah had to play due to injuries as well. And no need for Lamb or Pickens to play in the 2nd half either.

Tony C was a old time guy
down in the trenches where he preyed there was never any quarter asked or given

 

[beware_d-ware]

That last Giants game truly was meaningless. I've got no problem with sitting guys there.

Hmmm... someone should probably tell Tony much of the fan base was crying all week because they thought they were going to try and win that final meaningless game!
