Have you ever seen Garrett fired up?

[YosemiteSam]

Not really. It's more like, "Hmmm....let's stare at the play sheet with my legs crossed like a woman."

Well you appear sold on something you have minimal information about.

/shrug. It's not my job to prove anything. Football is a business, and should be run like one. Wade knows one thing and that thing isn't business.

 

[superpunk]

In reality we just need a coach that holds the team accountable, and has them ready to play every Sunday.

That is Wade Phillips' job, and he is not doing it well. Even in victory, the team does not look prepared, intense, or focused.

Whether Garrett could be THAT guy is up for debate. But it is becoming more and more clear that Phillips is not.

I dunno...the defense looked ready to play. It's about the only unit on the team that showed up yesterday.

Maybe Wade needs to take a more active role in the preparation of the offense. You'd think with $4+ million per year in offensive coaches, he wouldn't have to do that.

 

[Walker]

I personally don't care if they're excitable or not. Just balancing out the stupidity with more stupidity.

Good luck with that one you got a lot of work ahead of you. Especially considering fans want the whole team to be dismantled from Jerry Jones to the towel boy.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

I don't have a problem with his personality, it's his tendency to outsmart himself that bothers me.

We have the most success when we run right. We have an injury at LG. In the 1st half yesterday, only 2 of Barber's runs are to the right. In the loss to Washington, only 2 runs to the right in the whole game.

Yesterday, we put Holland in for one five-play series, and that's the moment when Garrett decides to pull the left guard and lead Barber on a run to the right. The natural expectation is that if you're going to pull the guard, you'd do it with Procter in the game, since he at least can get out of his stance.

Garrett either loses focus at times or goes against expectations a little too much.

Bryan Broaddus was saying on 103.3 last week that after watching game film, he thought Garrett was getting a little too tricky -- calling too many formations, too many different personnel groups, etc. He thought Garrett should scale it back a little, find some staple plays that we execute really well, and run those more often.

He was saying that after the Giants loss last year, some people on the Giants told Garrett that he was too predictable in that game. So his theory was that maybe Garrett had overcompensated and was trying too many tricky things this year.

He is the head coach, not the defensive coordinator, IMO.

If any part of the team is not ready to play, it's Wade Phillips' fault. Attitude reflects leadership.

Wade and Romo are not leaders...

Wade is a players coach and Romo is a clown...

You can play for them or with them, but cant expect them to lead you to the promised land...

Romo is a leader. I have no doubt of that. He's gone out there and performed injured, all his teammates respect him. He is a leader in the same way Troy was a leader - he led by example more than talk. Michael did the talking for him.

Wade is not a leader. I think I can agree with that now.

 

[dre1614]

keep in mind he is still VERY inexperienced. What does he have 3 TOTAL years of coaching experience?

Yes he gets paid too much but blame that on Jerry not Jason.

Interesting points brought up by Broaddus. As it was, Norv Turner used a small pool of plays over and over again that worked famously, and we have a cast of players on offense that are very closely comparable to what Turner had to work with (with the biggest difference being at RB, Emmitt over Barber).

I didn't see him get fired up yesterday, but I did see him throw it 2 different times on 3rd and 1. One a freakin' roll out sideline pattern that has about a 2% chance of being completed. I don't mind throwing it on 3rd and 1 if you are at a spot on the field where you are going to be going for it on 4th down anyway. That obviously wasn't the case. We HAVE to find a way to get it to our receivers. I can't see a situation where MBIII should have 11 receptions in a game. I know the line was struggling, but we just have to get it to WR's.

 

[CrazyCowboy]

He is extremely smart and thinking ahead.......remember coach Landry.......similiar to him.

That was a piece of **** call. I believe Romo only had two options on that as well. Either TO short or Austin deep. Horrid.

Kind of what he should've done in OT yesterday.............POUND THE BALL. I firmly believe Felix would of had a heyday yesterday. There were a few plays Barbarion took a little too long in making a move.

I think the run/pass balance is there it's just not disguised very well when we are gonna pass and when we are gonna run. I know certain downs dictate what it obviously should be but it just seems very odd that with the receivers we have Romo's getting coverage sacked. It seems, again, that the secondary kows where we're going. JMO, of course.

 

[CATCH17]

Its not just Garrett its at the top 2 biggest leadership positions on this team.

Quarterback and Head Coach.

I told a friend before the game it was going to be a long day based soley on Tony Romos "I just smoked a pound of grass" face.

Wade is no better.

There is a time to be laid back and there is a time to be more urgent.

This team has been very lackluster the past 3 weeks.

Enthusiasm is needed.

I actually hope it's that he was trying to be tricky, and not that he just lost track of who was in the game at the time. Even so, when you go six quarters over the course of two games and only call 4 runs to the right, and that's the side where you're stronger on the line--that almost has to go down as some kind of oversight.

Jerry liked to point out during the offseason that Glenn had made something like $100,000 a play, or whatever it was, last season. Figuring Davis and Colombo's salaries, divided in two (pass blocking and run blocking), in the entire game vs. the Skins plus the 1st half in AZ, Davis and Colombo made a combined $225,000 per run block.

 

[Thick 'N Hearty]

No one on this team has gotten fired up. TO speaking out isn't getting fired up. It's complaining.

This team hasn't had a fire since Jimmy was here.

 

[Maikeru-sama]

Not once. He always has this, "Oh well" look on his face. I think the attitude is reflected in our offensive players. There's no sense of urgency.

At some point you have to stop blaming the coaches and take a look at the players.

It's easier to point at the coaches than to look at the players and think that one may have overrated their skills.

A Hall of Fame Coach and a Defensive Specialist weren't able to do it.

 

[MissionCoach]

To answer the question...no

But as an old timer here, I never...maybe once...saw Coach Landry fired up either...not sure that is the be all end all to coaching.
