But he keeps making it difficult.
I know Parcells said he doesn't coach penalties, and it's the player's fault when he incurs one, but someone has to make field discipline a priority. That has to be the head coach's responsibility.
The Cowboys have the No. 1 offense based on yardage but the 23rd ranked defense. But Wade was the defensive guru who was going to make the defense a top priority. What happened with that?
I know I probably tend to slack off a bit towards the end of a work day. Maybe just straighten my desk or send out some personal emails. But no one is scoring game-winning or game-tying TDs or FGs when I do that. Not so the Cowboys defense. Wade, you have to get them to play the full 60 minutes. (Oh, and the end of the 1st half is a good time not to let down too.)
And the turnovers. Where would they be? Again, some teams make getting turnovers a priority. Apparently, not in Dallas.
And I know this is very petty, but when the Cowboys are playing poorly, please stop looking like a whipped puppy on the sidelines, Wade. It's demoralizing (at least to this viewer).
Other coaches can't escape some blame too. Hey Red -- scoring TDs in the "red zone" (clearly NOT named after you) needs some emphasis. And maybe better play-calling (though the drops by Austin and Hurd yesterday aren't on you). And Dave -- your safeties not named Sensabaugh have been missing for the last 5 or so weeks. Time to file the police report.
