We've heard it before, just never in Dallas. Well I'll rephrase that, not since Parcells, have we heard anyone involved with the Cowboys talk about accountability.
I'll start with the top. Up until this week I've never heard JJ take ownership of the bad moves he has made. His job as GM has been pretty atrocious. He made a couple decent moves a year ago, but not many. Any other GM would've been fired 16-17 years ago. We've debated this for 20 years now, so I'll quickly move forward.
I've come to realize Jason is one of those do as I say, not as I do, type of coaches. He preaches the "they have to execute better" philosophy. I've never heard him say, "I" have to do a better job, "we" have to prepare the team better. He has created a culture of blame. Always pointing at players for not executing. And to make it worse, he doesn't hold the individual accountable for what they failed to execute. Other than cutting a couple guys for not wearing a suit, you never see a guy benched or moved back on the depth chart for anything. A few weeks back I was listening to the Pete Carroll show (I live in Seahawk country), and he spent the entire show talking about his responsibility to the team and to the fans. He literally broke down all the mistakes him and his staff had made during the first few games. He told the world that the team was not ready or prepared, and that it was completely his fault. Guess what? They haven't lost since I heard that show. Look at the GB coach, he finally had enough of his OC's mistakes, and took over himself. Different team this week wasn't it? I don't want JG calling plays, but you see my point.
There has been thread after thread discussing the players ineptness. We all can see and break down how bad they have been. But listen to them after the games. They all use the same line as what they have been brainwashed to say, "we failed to execute". But because of that, you never hear them apologize to their brothers for letting each other down. There is even infighting every week. You never hear them tell the fans they are embarrassed of the way they play and the mistakes they make. There is no real accountability because of the culture that has been created inside Valley Ranch.
