Get tough policy

Wade Phillips promised that he would be tougher on the Cowboys to ensure a more disciplined team next season.

We got a glimpse of the tougher Cowboys at OTA's on Tuesday when guard Leonard Davis was guilty of a false start. He was yanked out of the lineup and replaced by Ryan Gibbons.

Davis was back in on the next play. But that is example how the Cowboys are holding the players more accountable for mistakes than last season.

There is also more yelling, screamng and cursing from the coaches. The practices are being held at a faster pace than year ago. And when a play is messed up the players are back on the ball running it again.

Now Phillips remains his same laid back self. But the tempo and how the Cowboys go about doing their business has changed.

Are the Cowboys better now that all the so called whiners, complainers and malcontents are gone?

Greg Ellis has been told to stay away from the Cowboys practice and has been given permission to seek a trade. Pacman is gone, Tank Johnson is gone. S Roy Williams is gone. And Terrell Owens is gone. There will be less headaches at Valley Ranch but can you really say the Cowboys are more talented than they were at the end of the season. More importantly, will they be a better football team next season. You tell me.

Un freakin believable, from a writer who constantly moaned about the lack of chemistry on the team.

Hmmm . . . . Ryan Gibbons.

Now, that's a player I haven't heard about for awhile.

But I'm glad the coaches are trying to instill some discipline. Better early than later!

Let's hope it rubs off.

Was he the one that pretty much told Wade to his face that he could coach the team better than Wade could? Or was it one of the other Pulitzer price winners?

Right. They are going to bench Bigg.

What ever happened to the asthma field?

I think you're talking about Calvin Watkins.

I sure hope Leonard Pozderac gets his Sheet straight.

There's a noticable difference on the field, even to Clarence Hill's. You can imagine that the players feel it, too. Obviously Bigg is not in danger of losing his job. But if he can't keep his head in the game, he can get off the field, that's the message. I think it's great. It will make him think twice the next time he's daydreaming about rescuing horses from swamps rather than remembering the snap count. There's a difference, and it's noticed. That's the important thing right now.

I understand that. And I agree.

But really all they have is their pride to call upon. Someone like Bigg can't be cut or benched; unless of course they truly suck which isn't going to happen.

But benching them for a few plays does get your attn. Hurts you in the pride.
