Lack of Leadership from the staff (I use that term loosely) Again...

[speedkilz88]

Why would Ellis make this up (and he may have), but why? And ask yourself do you really see something like this as not remotely being possible with this staff?

Remember a staff that has already had to dump several coaches for not being able to get the job done. Not saying you're wrong, but I actaully take Ellis' side on this.

You are starting to sound like a hack journalist.

 

[Quarterback Coach]

Although i agree with the thought that there is a lack of leadership from the Head Coach. I don’t like your examples. If anything, Romo wanting to go for the first down shows his leadership and confidence. I love that stuff.

This is the rpoblem I seem to have: An initial arguement/post turning in to something else.

Romo's decision was good. The application of that decision, and the fact that the head coach allowed such a move is not. Wade does not have control of this team. That is obvious. I am seriously hoping that changes this year, but am fearful it will not.

By the way. If any kid I ever coached (though granted only college kids) pulled that stunt, they would have a nice time sitting right next to me thinking about their thought process.

It's the principle that is the issue. The same reason why you stop when a cop steps in front of your car. It's not because he's a person, it's because he has a level of authority over you. Wade does not appear to have this.

That doesn't imply intelligence. It doesn't imply pedantry either. Choosing random words out of physics, biology and geology means you had a high school education.

Like he said there is a lack of intelligence in this thread.

Wow...seriously...it's called a joke...wow...

Actually, it just implies he has access to a dictionary. Using them at random counts against a decent HS education.

Maybe...that's not a reason though. Why would he say it?

 

[Big Dakota]

Okay, now we have players hiding from coaches on the sidelines...a QB waiving off a head coaches decision to punt...jesus...and fat boy wonders why no one takes him seriously as the boss.

"We" dodn't have anything.

Must have gone over your head too...no humor in this group today.

Nice to see the website has not changed much in my absence

Do they ever?

Hey...if your happy with what you saw last year and think that things will be better with Wade this year more power to you...

I've learned to ignore all of QBCoach's posts.

Because he likes to think he was on the becnh and on the way out of town because the coaches and owner didn't like him.

He 'hides' the fact that he is an average player and that he's 239 years old.

obviously...good to see you again...iowa still sucks

A little confused...he thinks he was being benched because he was on his way out so that's why Ware hid from coaches so he could play? Not following you here.

 

[speedkilz88]

I'm no shrink but he seems to be delusional about alot of things including his ability. He also claimed he only played 10 snaps wk 9 against the Giants but he actually played 34 snaps. Regardless there doesn't appear for any of it to have happened.

Ware played all but 29 snaps last season -- 986 out of 1015. That's 97.14 percent.

Thirteen of those plays came at the end of the Seattle game after Ware got hurt, leaving 16 plays that he missed in the rest of the season.

Adam again

With the help of Pro Football Focus' play-by-play participation charts (which aren't 100 percent accurate and include some non-official plays, but are a good starting point), I think I've identified the 29 plays Ware missed last season. Other than a few last-play-of-the-game plays, I've confirmed most of them by looking at my game tapes.

Ware missed one play when he was shaken up in the first Commanders game (checked for concussion), three plays when he was shaken up against the Giants (stinger) and the last 13 defensive plays after hurting his knee against Seattle. That leaves 12 plays when he could have been on the field but was not. They are --

One play in Game 2 against Philadelphia -- With 3:39 left in the second quarter, Ware was replaced by Burnett in the dime defense. Ellis was already on the field and stayed on the field.

Five plays in Game 3 against Green Bay -- With a 27-9 lead and 3:43 left in the game, Ware was replaced by Hatcher for four plays in the dime defense. Ellis was already on the field and stayed on the field. On the last play of the game, Ware was replaced by Hatcher. Ellis was already on the field and stayed on the field.

One play in Game 5 against Cincinnati -- On the last play of the game, Ware was replaced by Spencer. Ellis was already on the field and stayed on the field.

Two plays in Game 11 against San Francisco -- On the third and fourth plays of the game, Ware was replaced by Spencer. Ellis was already on the field and stayed on the field.

Three plays in Game 14 against New York -- With 7:50 left in the third quarter, Ware came out for two plays and was replaced by Ellis on second and third downs. When the next possession started, they both were on the field. And on the last play of the game, Ware was replaced by Spencer. Ellis was already on the field and stayed on the field.


So when, exactly, could Ware possibly have been "hiding" from the coaches in order to get Ellis playing time?

 

[speedkilz88]

Bradie(espn 103) can't believe Greg claimed that about Ware. He also mentioned he talked to Ware and quoted Ware saying he was in a no win situation. But pretty much confirms Greg is full of crap.

Very nice...I see what you are saying. My only contention would be that there is even a thought that a player was hiding from coaches. If he is completely making this up (which again he might be) then dismiss it. The fact that this thought can even pop in to the heads of players to me is an indication of porr leadership. Something led to this thought process. Doens't appear to happen in NE, Indianapolis, NY, etc.

 

[bbgun]

Greg suffers from an inflated sense of self-importance. Then again, so do I.

He was drafted first overall by the marquee franchise of the NFL. Whats your excuse?

You're A Hack Qb Coach, A Hack I Say!!!!!!!!!!

ROAR!!!!!

 

[TellerMorrow34]

Actually I would have been pissed if Romo hadn't waved the punt team off. There was absolutely no reason to be punting in that situation in the first place.
