Just wanted to clarify something towards my meaning when I come down on players like Miles or Free.
Bottom line, deep in my heart i love them, but they get me so frustrated because they have to much God given talent and dont take advantage of it, thus affecting wins and losses.
So, I try to use reverse psyschology. Years ago, my dad got his hand cut off in a corn picker and he had kinda given up on life from ever being a farmer or do anything without his hand, right hand. My uncle chewed him out, cussed him and basically said your worthless etc, go home baby etc... which literally ticked my dad off. He was bound and determined then to prove my uncle wrong. So, next day came back out to the field, climbed on tractor and tried to cut hay. Didnt do to good first day but by end of week, was cutting hay better than my uncle. Then, my dad realized if he put his mind to it, he could do anything and went into station garage business.
To me, sometimes as fans you have to get onto players letting them know how they let you down. If those players get mad and it makes them work harder, then good. Kinda like safety roy williams said one time, he wanted to show up one certain fan that had blasted him on this board i think.
Its all about motivation to me, sure do some dallas cowboys players read these posts, some might, and some dont. I know TNew doesnt read cowboys blogs. I had asked him one time to post and answer some questions for you guys. I got another cowboys player to answer some questions Hos asked him.
So basically just wanted some of you know how I think and feel about some players on our team. To me, if they work hard, apply themselves, give heart and effort, dig down deep and look at themselves honestly, then they can improve. Some dallas cowboys players are elite like witten, romo, ware, ratliff, and some others like austin, free and tnew could still be elite if they applied themselves more in whatever area they needed to work like getting a trainer, working harder to get stronger hand jab so when locked onto defensive linemens he cant knock his hands away or like randy white and some other players would do, work with martial arts experts to use your hands so players cant knock your hands off etc...
