Marion Barber didnt follow dress code

[28 Joker]

Garrett didn't punish Barber enough (IMO), but he has this team playing hard.

I give him credit...

Orlando Scandrick just played the ball...

This defense has been playing without Newman or Jenkins or both...

Felix was the starter for the game. You don't want to be too aggressive with the punishment. Barber is well respected in the lockerroom and if Garrett went over the top with the punishment it could have caused a bigger problem. I'm sure Barber will get a fine or some sort of punishment in addition to losing his "starter" tag.

Pics or it didn't happen.

Actually this has been the biggest problem for Wade's regime. Coaches tip toeing around the player's feelings instead of players being respectful of the coaches and his policies.

Garrett must be playing mind games with Barber. He started and Barber was all excited on his 2 runs to start the game, thinking he's in for a big game. Since then, Felix has gotten all the carries. Trying a different approach to punishment I guess. Like a type of mental torture:laugh2:

Punishment will probably be kept internal and we will never know what it is. That is the way it should be.

I agree..

Again,

Very impressed with what I just saw...

Extremely impressed...

Felix Jones fits in Garrett's scheme...

Garrett has done some nice things with him.. My main problem was Felix not getting the ball enough...

Garrett needs an offensive line that can block a counter..

That is one of Garrett's bread and butter plays to get Felix to grass...

Dallas can't block the play, anymore...

Although your right on this particular issue, I feel that anything JG does, your just going to say that its the exact right way things should be done..

Maybe, he should have been left in Dallas. If it is a rule and Barber knowingly broke it then he should be punished. I still believe he should be suspended a game because he's acting like a spoiled child and see how much he can get away with.

Then again, he could be on the bench because of bad play as much as his dress. Just guessing.

I am no one's yes man. I've already disagreed with a couple things, including this. I would have made him an example.

I think you are correct in this....I don't think we'll know. Keep the "real" punishment in house....but something "public" should be done and I have a feeling that we'll only be told that it was a fine.

I'm on the Garrett bandwagon for sure. Just listening to the man talk gives me a HC feeling. He made mistakes as a OC for sure and will as head coach but I'm a Garrett fan so far.

Before the game, Barber not wearing a tie really did seem like a big deal. But, after watching the game, it is obvious that Garrett knows what he is doing and will do whatever he thinks is appropriate.

He took the laughing stock of the league into NYC and beat the Giants in a convincing fashion. He can do whatever he wants to about Barber, and it is fine with me.

I give this whole team, owner, coach, and players...all the credit for something that is going to happen.

Do you know whats great about this forum. A Thread about Barbers apparel will go 20 pages, but the "The Congratulations Coach Garrett On Your First HC Win Thread" won't get to ten. Good fecing times.

Jason Garrett said Marion Barber didn't violate any team rules.

Hmmmm

Did he follow up? Or just leave it at that?

Is this a case of just keep saying it loud enough and people will believe it?

I find it hard to believe that multiple reporters were reporting it and that "some of the players were upset about it..." yet MBIII did nothing wrong?

What were they upset about then?

Is there a difference between "Jason Garrett" rules and "team" rules?

 

[WV Cowboy]

I will be curious to find out how true all of this is.

Anyway, my initial reaction if I were Garrett would be to calmly tell Barber that the Dallas Cowboys are going to NY in shirts and ties, ... if you want, you are welcome to come and go with us. Or you can stay here in your casual wear.

Love to have you, but it's your choice.

I would not have allowed him to join the team without dressing the same as all of the others.

I said that would have been my initial reaction, .. I will be curious to hear Garretts thinking on this, if we ever do.

GO Pats :steelers:

IMO, if this team truly wants to send a message of change and that they're not just a group of dysfunctional quitters, the players themselves would be the ones to "enforce" whatever "rules" were handed down by the HC.

Being questioned and outed by your peers as to why you feel you're better than us and don't have to conform, will reveal unequivocally this individuals motives and allegiance.

It can, and does work just as well on a sports team as it does in the military.
