I think he knew he wasn’t gonna play muchCan you blame him? Sadly, he was probably the best S on the roster and the coaches did not play him.
Sounds like we cut the one guy who gave a crap.
That is normally the case.
However I watched a video a few days ago and he was really ripping the team. Frankly I know it was bad if he was talking bad since he is about as bad as mickey with making excuses.
Don't know. But if Carr has an issue with some of the defensive coaches, especially Nolan, he wouldn't be the first player that has some comments about Nolan that weren't flattering.
Are we sure this report is accurate?
Mickey actually is ripping the team on the fan...you can almost tell he is mad Garrett his boy is gone....Like said"why the hell are we running a 3-4 with 4-3 players its stupid"
never heard Mickey actually said a bad thing about the cocahes

I'll reserve judgment until I read the article, granted it's Fish writing it, so who knows. But note......... Lawrence, Griffen has some comments a week or so ago about how they wanted to go back to three point stances, there had been reports previous players had some issues with Nolan, and now Carr has something to say? Granted, maybe he's disgruntled for being cut...........
But at the end of the day, I think Nolan is an issue and this franchise is now stuck wondering what to do.
I think he knew he wasn’t gonna play much
That’s the deal he agreed to
I suspect it’s less about playing time and more about something else like scheme
I mean he agreed to be on PS so how did he expect to be on the field all the time
He's always hated the 3-4, despite we are not even playing thatMickey actually is ripping the team on the fan...you can almost tell he is mad Garrett his boy is gone....Like said"why the hell are we running a 3-4 with 4-3 players its stupid"

Evidence would support that.
Nolan wasn't good in his last stop as defensive coordinator in Atlanta. And as you point out, he's playing 4-3 ends in stand up rush positions - with no offseason. And Carr has always be a high character person, so for things to go south with him says a lot about potential dysfunction as well.
More evidence as well, they quickly benched Thompson, after telling anyone who would listen what a great offseason he had and how he was ready. And how they didn't need an Earl Thomas. That didn't last long, did it?
yes, and the lack of effort seen in cleveland game suggest many players dont like nolans defense, so they are just going thru the motions.He's a vet who'll soon retire......willing to bet he told the coaches what other players are/were afraid to say. To his credit, he's kept it private and throwing anyone under the bus via social media.
One, the comparison to Jimmy in 1989 is weak. That was a very young team with a very young QB. This current Cowboys team has way more veteran presence at key positions than that 1989 team.
Two, I showed the stats yesterday, but there are 12 new DCs in the NFL this year. Of the 12, when comparing PPG and YPG from this year to last year, the worst regression, by far, has been Nolan and this defense giving up 16 more points per game and over 100 more yards per game. Now not all DCs have turned around their teams. For example, the next worst performance seems to be the Vikes but that's likely because they stupidly dumped Edwards (who should be our DC in 2 more games if Nolan continues to suck) for Zimmer's kid. But others have been able to make way more progress in 4 games than Nolan has.
Examples?The problem is, if the issue Carr has revolves around Nolan, he's not the first nor the last player to have issues with him. Nolan was a poor hire and we are now just starting to peel back the layers of this smelly onion.
That is a red flag when a vet like Carr who has played for many teams and has always been considered a good guy can't get along with them.
Four games in, and the lugnuts are already loose on the wheels. Are the Joneses capable of having an environment where the circus isn’t in full three ring mode?
The scary part is it may have nothing to do with playing time but a vet seeing a system that’s flawed or something along those linesPossibly. But at some point that goes out the window as you're watching the secondary blow assignments left and right and you KNOW you can help on the field.
