I'd sooner listen to a Roseann Barr sex tape than any press conference with Jerry, Stephen or the Ginger Bot.

4 takeaways in 8 games... 2 from Hardy in 4 games

I'm not calling you a liar.

Now you are basically questioning the intellect of anyone on this board that can read.

I don't know if you've got speakers or not. But by 'access to the presser' I was referring to at work or at home.

Complete fabrication right now, when I directly challenged you on this. That was not your answer before. I could call you a liar, but I won't.

Somewhere, I believe you have an internet device with a speaker on it. A phone, perhaps. Or a tablet. You can use that device to hear the press conference if you really care to, and make your derogatory comments that way. That saves me typing it up for you which I didn't want to do in the first place.

Since you are too lazy to back up your comments and now since I do indeed have the access to the device which you felt I had to have, here goes.

From the 4:15 mark to the 12:51 mark.

Q: What's the biggest issue you had in stopping the running game last night?

A: I think the biggest issue on defense was not being ready. Not lined being up . Not being lined up where we needed to be. And when we were lined up, we played well, both defending the pass and defending the run. And when we have played well against these guys in the past, we've done that. It's a tempo offense and the most important thing to do is get lined up. Get in your stances, get in your positions, to play football. And, uh, when you look back at the plays that they made, we weren't lined up as well as we needed to be, we didn't execute our assignments the way we needed to and they took advantage of it.

Q: Why is that? Was it Sean's absence, was it late calls from the sidelines?

A; Sometimes it just happens, when you play against a team like that, just the i---when you play a team like that, that's that's playing that up-tempo style, that's always downhill at you, you need to get lined up, you need to get stops early in the drive. Go back and look back at the games where we have done well against them, that's what we were able to do. And they get you on your heels a little bit because they have had some success and it snowballs. And the drives last night where we stopped them, we did a good job of that. And drives where we didn't, we didn't do as good of a job as that, and they made us pay for it.

Q: So you feel like that problem is unique to this opponent or is it something that could be a little bigger.

A: It is specifically this opponent, there are other teams that will play this style, within the game, but this is what their style is. And we played them six times in the last three years and you can look at uh, some real clear examples of doing it well and getting lined up and getting ready to play, in our stances, hand on the ground, in our gaps, doing it the right way, we don't do that, they make you pay for it.

So, again, where is the "context"?

@Sydia answered before and thanks to him for that.

 

[dstovall5]

He thinks they're playing the right way and the results will show sooner or later. May take a couple months...

Yeah he's right, the results will eventually show, it just won't happen when JG is the HC of the Cowboys.

 

[Zman5]

We had a whole movement called "get rid of Zimmer." GROZ, for short. People put it proudly in their sigs and would debate you for years if you had the temerity to say the guy was a good coordinator.

We had people saying the same things about Sean Payton when he was here, too. Because, you know, it was the coaching.

Good times.

We also had people saying the same things about Campo and Wade.

I know what the retort is, "Oh yeah? Take a look at Zimmer and Payton, huh? They found success."

Well, they got out of this culture.

To imply everyone is wrong asking for a coaching change just because Zim and Payton turned out ok is just ridiculous.

I would like to know if these JG fanboys were this upset when people were calling for Campo's head.

Or Philips, when Garrett was basically doing next to nothing to help keep him as head coach.

Which I guess is fine, since he never answered to him anyways.

Exactly.

 

[Alexander]

Exactly.

To put it in perspective, there were people on this board who wanted Parcells fired. Yes, that Hall of Fame coach.

But what is odd, it was the same people who were screaming to oust Wade Phillips, but now defend Garrett.

It is pretty confusing.

I wanted Wade gone but I was worried we'd be stuck with Garrett and I was right.

Seems like I saw Sean Payton lose in overtime to the Titan's Sunday. And his record is just as bad as ours this year. I think parity could be rearing it's ugly head. You can hardly discount losing Romo and Dez for so long either. Actually I'm not really defending Garrett here but I'm not ready to hang him yet either.

 

[Alexander]

Garrett did a decent job as interim, but everyone knew that he would have to completely tank it to not get it. Jones did a few cursory fluff interviews, but if anyone thought there was an honest search, they are insane. It was a set up. Practically a coup d'é·tat in a way if you look at it suspiciously.

Then he basically was like the coaching version of Anthony Spencer. Close, close, close, breakout, new contract. Then suddenly injured.

We are now in microfracture stage.

 

[boyzjunkie]

It was all the fault of that sneaky Chip Kelley. Springing that up tempo offense on us from out of nowhere. Who could have possibly anticipated something like that.

Losing six games in a row is not parity rearing its ugly head.

Save last year, Garrett's entire coaching record looks like Pete Rozelle's dream of parity, always "in it" until the end. But somebody has to lose and save last season, it was always that in the final game of the regular season.

Just take this answer from our head coach.

"Sometimes it happens."

If that does not satisfy you, then well, all I can say is that you don't know anything about football.

It took me by surprise. lol

 

[dfan32]

I just cannot believe he actually came out and said that.

Garrett never said they didn't know it was coming or that they were not prepared for it. You guys are making that part up. You all know very well that the Cowboy's coaches knew what the Eagles were gonna do and they prepared for it. The game plan didn't work obviously but to sit here and say the Cowboy's didn't know what the Eagles were gonna do is rediculous.

I posted the exact transcript above.

Real "rediculous" .

When a coach says we were prepared and didn't execute, it is a cop out to me. He basically stated it worked before, it didn't this time because the players did not line up correctly.

So he is basically saying "not it".

That is a hell of a way to motivate a team.

He talks about teaching, then his real response to failure is they will continue to teach and they need to finally understand.

Pretty arrogant to me.
