Galloway and "Source" on Garrett

[BlueStar22]

This made for an interesting discussion on Galloway and Co. He said he spoke with someone "who would know" the deal with Garrett. Galloway asked the "source" str8 up if Garrett was in over his head. The "source" thought the question was ridiculous. He went in to say that Garrett is NOT in over his head but his major problem is his playcalling. The "source" says that Garrett is letting the player's demand for the ball dictate his playcalling instead of letting the situation dictate the playcalling. This too, imo, is an indictment of Garrett. I'm one of the Terrell Owens backers but I would support letting him go if that is what it would take to get this offense into gear. Either that need to happen or Garrett need to tell Owens, Witten, Williams, and Crayton to shut their mouths and if they get open, they"ll get the ball! If Wade and Garrett are staying, this needs to get nipped in the bud.

If you lets your players egos dictate how you call a game than you're not a good coach and you're never going to be one unless you're coaching a bunch of robots.

This staff has it all wrong, it's like their constantly trying to prove them selves to the players when it should be the other way around

Too late for that, given how TO and now Romo have ripped on Garrett in the media. This relationship is beyond broken.

Gee, I wonder who on this team would be dictating the playcalling.

 

[DCBoysfan]

I can see that happening, it was clear to me this season that Romo was 'forcing' the ball to T.O., and it look like he was forcing the ball to Willaims against the iggles. The offense has not look smooth enough this year.

Bingo, Ren!

I would think this was fairly obvious.

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

I dont believe that story.


The players arent dictating the playcalling... because none of the fab 4 were getting the ball... not TO, not RW, not Witten and not Crayton.

If so then that is an indictment on him. If the main reason he has called so many deep balls and abandoned the run this year is due to one or two guys demanding the ball and he gave into them then he is at fault.

It'd be good to know he isn't in over his head and is a good OC. But what good is that if you don't call the game the way you see fit?

For instance that first Commanders game, Barber only had 8 rushes and Felix never touched the ball. Yet for most of the game we were within 3-7 points. There was no reason to be airing it out deep downfield every few plays and giving up on the running game in the middle of the third quarter.

I mean if Garrett is caving to the players on his playcalls, then what kind of HC will he be?

Wade Phillips promised we would become more of a running team. All is well.

 

[NoLuv4Jerry]

if Garrett can't impose his will on malcontents as on o-coordinator...he will never make a good head coach.

Well then. In that case let's break out the bubbly.

It was probably Choice. He always seemed kind of shady to me.

Agreed. If the players are dictating the play calling and Garrett still can't get any of them the ball, then what's the next excuse?

This is soooo far from the truth...

Yeah.... he did get ALOT of touches when he played.
:laugh2:

WOW!!!

How amazing is it that Galloway gets an "anonymous" source telling him the EXACT thing he has been saying about the player he hates.

That is a hell of a coincidence and very lucky for Galloway to have the last 3 years of his mindless ranting be confirmed by a "source".

Incredible.

Amazing isn't it!!! That guy is brain dead...

I don't know why I am wading knowingly into this muck except that I consider Randy Galloway a friend, and I feel a need to defend my friends when they are under constant attack. At the risk of being called on this forum "a holiday cancer" for the second time in a week...

Galloway has plenty of sources, and they are extremely credible. Those sources include most everyone in the Cowboys hierarchy, all the way to the top. I'm not speculating to say that he can call anyone at any time -- or anyone who matters -- and he will get a return phone call very quickly. Very quickly.

I don't agree with everything Galloway writes, but he has a basis. If he cites a source, then the source is real and credible. Very likely, if you knew the identity of the source, you would be surprised. The top of that organization will talk to Galloway. They might disagree with him, but they will talk to him.

Besides all of this, are we not getting a bit weary of blasting writers and TV reporters only to discover that they were accurate?

 

[JohnnyHopkins]

If, "IF" this is true, then either Owens or Garrett needs to get their walking papers. I truth, I don't really blame Owens, since he is simply doing what he has always done (and many WR's before him). But if Garrett is actually bending over backwards to get him and that other overpaid and yet non-productive wide-out more looks, then the damage has already been done.

In 2009, from the start, they should open up the WR position for competition and let the most productive players win out. I'm sure Owens would still come out on top, but I'm not as sold on Roy holding off Crayton and Austin.

Come to think of it, they should do every position this way, regardless of pay-scale, because there were several "back-ups" that looked like they were playing with more passion than the starters this year.
