Hamlin seems ready for tomorrow (Sarcasm)

[peplaw06]

Rookies, 2nd year players, whatever. Those that are impressionable is what I meant.

Don't you think that 2nd year players have already formed their opinions about Hamlin and his work ethic based on, oh I don't know, the past year of being his teammate? Do you really think that a few twitter posts is going to change their opinion of him?

 

[xWraithx]

Thank you! I am more than tired of his constant whining about players not doing what this guy thinks they ought to be.

What Hamlin does on his last vacation night before he goes back to Dallas for his offseason work has absolutely zero to do with how this season will unfold for him.

I don't even think Hamlin is that good of a safety, but for crying out loud... what does him going out the night before offseason workouts have to do with anything that should concern us fans? Had he stayed home and listened to Fanatics internet radio show and said 10 hail mary's before rinsing with holy water and going to bed, would that have made him a better safety?

It is simply a matter of Dfanatic not liking an individual for *whatever* reasons and stalking the player until he does something that DC superfan can point to and squeal, "SEE, I TRIED TO LIKE HIM BUT HE ISN'T LIKE ME!"

Just wondering... what does fanatic do for a living?

:laugh2: :laugh2:

No players in Miami twitter, do they?

Surely not.

I just can't see Parcells saying, "This is what you lift all them weights for! This is what you Twitter DC for!"

Here's the funniest thing ever.

These two clowns are babbling on about me being so concerned about what the Cowboys players are doing...

Yet they aren't smart enough to see that they are doing the same thing with me.

And I'm just a fan with a blog, lol.

At least I spend some time on people who are famous and play for the Dallas Cowboys.

As tired of me as they talk about being they can't seem to put me on ignore which I have requested from them for like three years now.

And now Asthma wants to know my profession? My phone number? My home address? Who I date? My social security number?

Hamlin is a punk who happens to play football. Waaay too comfortable with hisself. He be partying when he can and be playing when he can.
Da mon-ay and da booty is happenin tonite!!!!!

Who gonna be there at 6 a.m. when da par-tay is tappin out at 5? Be reals man.

 

[Everlastingxxx]

It blows my mind how these same people don’t even realize they are doing the same exact thing they are accusing others of.

 

[bayeslife]

I'm beginning to think there's some sort of secret coalition in CZ regarding players' personal lives. Because it's the SAME people in EVERY thread.

I simply do not get it. Perhaps if a player is out doing cocaine or getting in trouble with the law, you know, dangerous deconstructive life choices, that there is right reason to think so negatively of a person. But for whatever reason, if a player so much as attempts to go out and have fun while not on the job, it automatically becomes hell on earth.

As long as someone is taking care of business while at WORK, what does it matter what they do. Hell they can eat cheetos and play World of Warcraft all day long for all I care as long as they're doing what's asked of them.

I don't understand why something like is indicative of Hamlin being too comfortable on the team. After the next season is over, and we look back on what players could have done better to up their play, who the hell is going to be saying "well if he had not twittered about such and such" or "dang if he was a leader and showed up to OTAs..." This is the same crap about Bennett. They aren't doing anything illegal, they aren't coming off as big pompous *******s, so what's the problem?

You guys are ****ing worse than TMZ. Seriously.

 

[elcowboi]

Like I said, I can probably name the same people from years past with their stances on the issue and maybe a couple newcomers who haven't been on the board.

If Hamlin were actually, ya know, missing OTAs, then I'd see your gripe. I may not agree with it, but I'd understand it. Until he misses any, then I don't get the need to fire off a post about something that hasn't impacted his work with the team.

. I think some people go the clubs (or go out) on Sunday night but as long as they come to work prepared to do their job I see nothing wrong with it. How many players went to the club or went out and didn't tweet about it?????

hm, which club in particular? I wasn't aware that there was only one out there.

 

[AMERICAS_FAN]

I do understand that Wade is leaving it up to the players to be professionals.

But if he has to get into a player or let a guy know that he's slipping and that player starts feeling the heat which leads to him working harder and becoming a better player who wins?

The Cowboys.

I could care less if Ken Hamlin the person is successful.

But I would like to see Ken Hamlin the Dallas Cowboys Free Safety be successful.

You made the point about Roy. So Wade never changed his approach to the guy and in the end he cut him when he didn't perform.

How is this a good thing for the team? I would much rather have seen Wade get on Roy and not be his good friend and watch Roy make us all look like a bunch of fools for doubting him.

Instead he's now a Cincinnati Bengal.

At one point I thought Roy was destined for greatness. Another Dallas Cowboy who goes down as one of the best ever at his position. Instead he goes down in history as a guy who started with a bang and fizzled out with a whimper.

Parcells. Too tough.

Wade. Not tough enough.

Next coach. ???

I don't know that Wade's not tough enough. that perception is largely due to how he is portrayed. The guy has coached top-performind defenses throughout a long NFL career. If that's the result of not being Parcells-Tough, or Not-Tough-Enough, then I'll take that coach any day. In the end, I think Wade may be a bit tougher than folks give him credit (or potrayal) for. Last season he re-tooled his apprach to hold players more accountable and the reults blew way past everyone's expectations, and especially the expectations of those portraying the Not-Tough-Enough perception of Wade.

To last this long at this level I would think he is tough enough. I do know that coaches can't put on an act because players would easily see through the act. Wade treats these players as men and expects them to go out and do their jobs like men. Wade may put many mistakes on his own shoulders to the media as to not throw players under the bus but you don't stay in the league this long by being a soft touch.

Yep, and it's probably not a good one.

So all that's being asked of Hamlin is to be a QB coach of the secondary and get out of place all the time? Gotcha.

Might as well put this in here, lol.

Man, when people turn against players, they just reach for anything to support their hatred.

Some of this stuff is almost as bad as all the complaints about Romo and his pursuit of golf, Jessica Simpson, etc.

As long as the guys get their work done and the team has no problem with the effort they are putting forth, we should not be worried about them having a life.

I'm not a party person and would prefer that our players stay away from that scene, but it's their choice not mine. As long as it doesn't affect my team, they don't pull a Roethlisberger or something, etc., then it just isn't my business how they spend their off time.

Agenda...who has one?

And in case anyone was wondering, Miles Austin was in LA too.

Riding around LA with the windows open...
about 24 hours ago via web

I wouldn't be too worried either. Guys and Dolls Lounge is a pretty classy spot. I've been there. At least he's not out in Milledgeville, GA scheming on 20-year-olds while his buddy blocks the door and the club tapes over the footage.

-------------------------------------


A few things...

1. Stop yourself from saying it's not a problem. When a guy who's on the brink of losing his job isn't at least back in Dallas the night before this begins I question his awareness of the situation he's in with the team.

As in he doesn't realize he's not on the 'can't possibly be cut soon' list.

2. Why do these geniuses feel it's necessary to tell us this information?

Even if he's back in Dallas at 6am and the first one to the facility in the morning why let the fans of the team know that you are going out tonight thru your Twitter account?

3. Just me personally.

This is why I hate when Wade makes every single comment so positive. He has on numerous occasions applauded Hamlin for his ability to get the DB's in correct place and be the leader amonst the secondary. I tend to think that in some degree this makes Hamlin feel like he's a 'Wade Guy' and that he's so valuable that he doesn't need to go that extra mile to make himself a better player/leader.

And I am not saying to be Bill Parcells and make everything so negative.

What I would I would like is for the head coach to be 'the boss'.

From there you tell me what boss wants to hear that a guy who is costing the company a lot of money for little production is headed out to Club My House in another city less than 24 hours before he should be arriving at the job site for the first big meeting of the year.

4. Look into the history of Ken Hamlin. He's a guy who not only almost lost his career, but almost lost his life while being the life of the party and having to be out clubbing all the time.

Something isn't adding up here.

Either Hamlin doesn't care. Or he's too dumb to sense the situation he's in. Or we are all just crazy and Ken Hamlin is in the same club that the 'Romo's, Ware' Ratliff's and Wittens' are in when it comes to the Cowboys players who are completely safe.

I know I am rambling.

But this team is close. For the first time in a long time I really think this team is close to winning it all. Deep down I was hoping this guy would come back and play like he did in 2007 and shut us all up.

And that may happen still.

But don't sit back and tell me there have never been ball players who felt like they were untouchable after hearing their coaches shoot them some praise and the owner handing over a big money contract.

Your thoughts?

totally agree with you buddy, but thats what wade wants, he wants everything to be a big happy family,

i think also to a point thats why wade has never won a championship game or gotten there, he wants players to act like men without him being the big heavy. Yet, thats exactly what the head coach is, when he has to, like coughlin did with osie this year and 2007 he has to let the players know who the BOSS is;
