First to comment about jimmy with the dolphins, it wasnt so much marino that jimmy had clash with, it was Don Shula; thats the big problem in miami still, don shula has some stock in the team and still has some say;
what i heard, that when jimmy went to miami, right off he wanted to trade marino and shula wouldnt let him, jimmy was going to use marion in a big huge trade like he did with hershel walker;
back to comparisons with the 90's cowboys and then now cowboys, im not so much trying to compare the players with players now, what i am trying to do is show, they were losers when jimmy came in, he cleaned house, instilled quickness and speed, and YOU WILL WIN, YOU WILL GET TURNOVERS IN THEIR FIRST SUPERBOWL WITH BUFFALO AND THEY DID,
again he didnt sit on a 13 record, when they won their title like wade phillips still sits and says, we did win a playoff game, because we won the divisioin title, we got a bye, so we did win a playoff game, which is BULL!
again what im trying to show is this, he pushed their buttons, whatever way he saw fit, he didnt sit on a 13 game winning spree and say, well we lost because we went on the road, in december, and we did lose to a team that went all the way
jimmy didnt settle for second best, nor did he ; he said this;
you have to take a chance, dutch davis said he gave us the ability to take a risk, to go to the superbowl, then jimmy said, you cant be afraid to fail, to me, its a bigger sin not to take chance, most coaches are conservative, but to me, then to go out and be short, so they fail , then i believe you should try, you might be short at the end, but better to try and you know you gave it all you got. So Dallas on a big play, in the san frans game in candlestick, with the big slant to harper, jimmy went for the win with slant to harper. You attack, you dont sit back and let the team attack you;
so, thats what im saying, and i agree with you guys about the leaders on this team, they have to step up, but the head coach has to step up too, and attack, not sit back on a 13 game winning;
like im begging to wonder what the buffalo fans said is true, wade phillips can get you there, with his style of defense, but he like sits on that once he gets to the playoffs, and wade phillips lost all of his playoff games as a head coach
finally, dont forget an old saying is the team takes on the personality of the head coach, and they believed in jimmy and they won;, thats what im trying to point to maybe why we lost in december and the playoff game,
im sure you all saw how passive the offensive line was, why? were they passsive, and why did romo have to tell them, lets go, lets go, and they seemed to be dragging their feet, why? remember now, barber had no holes in the second half to run through, why,
i agree that the giants are a good defensive team, but still, we had a huge offensive line too, they just werent blocking in 2nd half, again i point to, what was found out, in december, wade phillips didnt have his team work out in pads at all in december, why,
its like jimmy johnson said, fatigue makes cowards of u, to me, seemed like the offensive line was tired in 2nd half, why, whose fault was that, whose fault was it that the offensive line wasnt fatigued, and the big drops by wrs afteer T O went out, why? was it due to lack of coaching and getting and keeping the players in shape in december? why?
