I completely agree w/this, and I believe Hamlin does too (his emphasis on execution being the problem, not the coaching or individual players). Although it would have been nice for Hamlin to have provided an honest evaluation of his own individual performance FIRST (the secondary as a whole couldn't BUY a turnover, but as much as that is highlighted in the media, the true problem in the secondary was the miserable run support IMO) before commenting on anyone else.


And even as articulate as Hamlin obviously was, he was still led/steered into making this comment (by the way, I did not hear Hamlin say what was quoted in the title).


I still say, the Cowboys should either limit their comments to simple one sentence answers (for the more media savvy) or boycott the media entirely (for the less media savvy). I think they should make this commitment as a team, that way the focus is on the team instead of on the media gadflys.

By the way.

Go to 7:02 in the video.

dcfanatic,

If you're going to title the piece "Hamlin: 'Yeah, Romo needs to be more vocal..."

Then that quote should have been present in the video. It wasn't.

He said, "Yeah, he has to be a vocal leader" as part of his response to a Rome question. He also implied that he's been this type of leader in the past, and "especially this offseason."

He NEVER said Romo "needs to be more vocal".

Had he said THAT, it would imply that Romo currently is not vocal enough. But in fact, Hamlin said just the opposite.

...

What does that mean?

That means there is more to the quote.

Should I have made a 200 word title with everything Hamlin said in the entire interview.

And in the OP right below the video I explained that Romo was doing this.

I think we are in the double digits of the number of people who would like to direct me on what to write, what to post and how to make a video.

:laugh2:

How about you just watch the thing, read the thing, or listen to the thing and enjoy the fact that someone posted it for you to watch, read or listen to.

Back seat drivers all over this site.

Over the last three days I got emails and PM's from a bunch of people asking me why I even post here anymore.

I am starting to wonder why myself.

Okay. Now I see why some people dislike you. You can't take one shred of criticism without flying off the handle.

"That means there is more to the quote."

No. It means the quote didn't exist. He never said Romo needs to be MORE vocal than the level of vocality he's currently at.

Should I have made a 200 word title with everything Hamlin said in the entire interview.

Nope, one line or a few words work. As long as you don't fabricate them. Which you did.

And in the OP right below the video I explained that Romo was doing this.

Terrific. Still doesn't make up for a fabricated quote which alters the message Hamlin was meaning to send.

I think we are in the double digits of the number of people who would like to direct me on what the write, what to post and how to make a video.

And it's all a coincidence. Nothing you do is ever incorrect, including this fabricated quote. We're all "haters" and you're flawless at what you do. Happy?

How about you just watch the thing, read the thing, or listen to the thing and enjoy the fact that someone posted it for you to watch, read or listen to.

Sad. You're such a crybaby. I've given you props several times for the videos you post. But the second someone tries to give you constructive criticism, you go into hissy-fit mode.

Welcome to the club man. :D


I actually tried to subtlely let him know about it in one of my earlier posts so he could make the proper corrections, but he chose to foolishly confront me instead. All he had to do was re-watch his own clip. :laugh2:

Hey, the guy who prepares the meal gets to use as much seasoning as he likes. The people eating it don't have to all like it, and they don't have to keep coming back.

It'd be nice if the chef didn't curl up into a ball and thumb-suck whenever somebody suggests something is too salty, though.

dcfanatic does a great job uniformly with finding and making videos available. And his commentary is often interesting. He brings it pretty aggressively in debates, which is also cool. He's become a real asset to the board, and it's a shame he'd consider leaving just because of negative attention.

So there is a huge difference between 'has to' and 'needs to'?

Please say yes, lol.

They whine about such stupid little things. Petty.

Just watch the thing and post on the topic.

Instead he thinks he's at Burger King and he wants it his way.

He's the guy who gets offered free tickets to the game and then starts complaining because he's not on the fifty yard line behind the Cowboys bench.

thanks for the video DC. The team seems to be finally acting as a team. Time for them to produce, and i have full confidence that they will.

Passive aggressive.

Weak.

When I interact with folks like dcfanatic, it makes me wish I took more psych classes in college. Truly fascinating stuff.

It appears you post the multimedia to get the "thanks". And so when you get anything other than a "thanks", you feel that you're being wronged instead of appreciated.
So there is a huge difference between 'has to' and 'needs to'?
The operative word was "more". You falsely included "more" in your title, which implies that Hamlin believes that Romo currently isn't as vocal as he needs to be.

Watch the clip again and tell me if Hamlin is meaning to imply that Romo is not currently as vocal as he needs to be.

The question from Rome was something along the lines of, "Does the QB have to be a vocal leader?"

To which Hamlin replied that the QB DOES have to be a vocal leader. But he never implied that that's not what Romo currently is.

It was a minor, contructive piece of criticism. Which you couldn't handle.

The only "whiner" in this thread is you. The only one who's been "petty" is you.

You were either criticized too much as a kid, or not enough... because you clearly can't handle any semblance of criticism in your adult life.

Man, I wish I had taken more psych classes...

Ken Hamlin needs to shut the **** up and recover fumbles and make tackles but he got paid by us and we end up with this worse version of RW.

He was a rookie DC in 2007. Who said I was referencing only last season?

And you allow him to learn on the job because Wade is already in place. Stewart didn't have to call the defensive plays just because he was the coordinator. We just saw a great example of this last season.

It's called using all the resources available to you so you win football games.

If you expect someone to grow into their position then you need to give them the latitude to do so. Control freaks prohibit growth. If he had done as you say and Stewart was a great DC we would have never known.

Nailing yourself up on the cross again I see. You were the one that brought up Stewart and Stewart wasn't even discussed on the interview. Quite frankly if you think that posting the TV/radio stuff entitles you to not have your opinions argued then I think you should just go away as you are 'threatening' to do.
