Well if we want to talk of discipline why is it that the Cowboys has the most of suspensions of any team? Why do we see Bryant throwing a fit on the sidelines and yet Garrett seems to not do anything about it? Why doesn't he get upset at players when they do something bad? Why are there so many gaffes during the waning moments of the game which causes us to lose? I can go on and on.
Yes we can all agree that some of those suspensions wasn't that fault of Garrett. But when things went sour when Zeke got suspended what did he do? What were the steps he took to ensure that the results will continue even though Zeke was suspended? There was no adjustments in the playbook? No changes to how the gameplan. Nothing. This is the biggest cause for concern.
Garrett is a good manager and organizer. But when it comes to bringing the team together and making them play better - and do everything in his power to win, he just can't do it.
Jimmy Johnson was one of the reasons why we had a winning philosophy back them. You might say he was too much of a disciplinary. But he got it done with results. What has Garrett done for us lately?
yeah, why so many suspensions? who decided Greg Hardy was the guy that would put us over the top? who keeps brining Irvin back? Who drafted Gregory and keep bringing him back. those three are most of the suspensions.
and then the Zeke suspension. prior to joining the team and Goodell getting even with Jerry.
and some of the suspensions are due to PED.
and Bryant throwing a fit on the sideline...we have discussed that for a long time...Jerry going down and giving him a hug and chumming up with him, gives Dez the power and notion that he can do that and get away with it. Jerry has for 25 years now undermines his coaches. players, trouble making players know they by pass the coach and go to Jerry.
and how do you replace a Zeke? Zeke is the 4th pick in the draft. some said, probably a top 2 player in that draft. we had Morris. who else was available? do you spend a top draft pick to back up Zeke in case he gets suspended? would that be the right approach? you mention as if we didn't take any steps to replace zeke.
and I agree, that last year the playbook adjustment was bad. I blame Linehan, and ultimately Garrett. Beasley became easy to defend. our Passing game was not creative. and the defense was over rated. when the offense struggled, the defense collapsed along side with it.
with that said, I think Garrett as you said is a good manager and organizer and he does motivate the team and bring them together, but our schemes are out dated. I don't like Marinelli. his defense is passive. I don't like Linehan, he hasn't done anything innovative and he is too pass happy...
garrett hasn't done much to meet our expectations of getting to the superbowl. he has to take the next step this year and I have said, this year if we don't reach NFC championship, its time to move on. I have my favorites for his replacement. with that said, reality is NFC is a tough division, with Rams, Eagles, GB, NO, Atlanta, Carolina, Minn, Seattle and then up and coming teams like Giants, Skins, Detroit, SF....the NFC will be very tough. and I have my doubts if we can make it to the NFC championship game.
