Marion Barber didnt follow dress code

[tupperware]

you know your team sucks when the two biggest threads in the last few days are about wearing a tie on the plane.

Not really, because the core issue is discipline and effort as being some of the main components of this teams lackluster play.

Jimmy said it best on Fox pre game show when they were talking about JG changes to the tempo in practice, pads, etc.

Wooooooooow.

And they're moving quicker in practice, Wooooooow.

Exactly, what on earth were they doing all along?

Agreed. Don't get me wrong though. I'm pissed that Barber has revolted, but it's surprising just how much of a team revolution Barber has seemingly created with TieGate already with fans. Not saying that fans are wrong, but gosh, can't Garrett have a shot at squashing the great tie menace aftereffect his way first?

 

[Givincer]

Not like the team really loses anything with him not being in the game anyway.

I would not even dress him for the game.

Choice would do absolutely fine, if not wholly better, in his role.

Yeah but it's just discussion. We need something to talk about, that's what fans do. Some are extremists and some are just overly passive in their approach to being a fan.

Some of the discussion practically states that Garrett's already in a no-win situation. Really? Is that really just discussion or plain old black-and-white proclamation?

Well it's true, if nothing is done after Barber flat out disregards a new policy I will be disappointed in JG. That's just my honest take and feelings on the matter. I'm not saying I'm gonna go all chicken little and say he's a failure but I want to see his new approach as a Cowboys HC backed up fully with actions.

wouldn't it be great if Garrett knew Barber wasn't going to make it with the coat and tie for whatever reason and had excused him from it.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Oh I get it.. and yeah, he should be disciplined. But the outrage displayed is humorous to me.

Pitchfork and knives crowd..

You know that I am certainly the last person to bust out the kindling. An example needs to be set. Discipline is the biggest issue on this team and he is basically thumbing his nose at it.

There is a conversation in the front office about changings need to be made. Cutting Barber this offseason has been a hot topic all season. He is already on notice with the fans and likely the front office.

We have a new coach stressing discipline and he absolutely has to have this roster's attention. Thats not outrage. That is survival.

Then it will no longer be an issue worth discussing. But for right now I think the assumption is, and I feel it's probably accurate, that Barber has disregarded the policy.

We're not on the Cowboys payroll, no one here has to apologize or feel bad about voicing their opinions or feeling a certain way. If it turns out it's nothing, then it's nothing, but I will still feel this way every day of the week if something like this were to actually happen.

 

[The Quest for Six]

Garrett should immediately Deactivate him to send the message of authority within this team

You want to see how he carries himself as an effective disciplinarian? So, he hasn't been convicted of being a poor disciplinarian before anyone knows how Barber's not wearing a tie as been addressed by him?

oh snap. Doesn't make sense to me right now, but...

 

[FLCowboyFan]

I got upset by this and posted a while ago. But do we know this is actually true? I haven't seen any other mention of this except on this thread so far.

If he did it, I stand by my earlier statement. If this didn't actually happen I think we never listen to this source again. I just hope we aren't ticked at Barber for no reason.

Tell us exactrly what you would do if you were in Garret's position?

Would you let Barber slap you upside that pretty face of yours?

Really...how would you handle this, Coach DallasEast?

It's up for debate and rightfully so, whether JG had the authority or means to make good when it comes to disciplinary actions when players did not perform. There is no excuses now, he's the interim HC.

I look at it as a great opportunity. He can remove one of the least productive players that happens to be a 'leader' from the starting lineup and be undeniably justified. Some players will grumble but I cannot help but think that would just make sure they get the message that much clearer.

We're not going to the playoffs and I am more than content winnowing the chaff.

Give Choice some carries and he is justified in standing up and being a leader. He certainly is a more inspiring leader than Barber and I think he will be more
productive running the ball.

This is a coup opportunity that Garret can seize on that locker room.

 

[Everlastingxxx]

I think pitch forks, knives, flamethrowers, bazookas, grenades...should be thrown at Marion. Reason why i think for Garrett to be successful he needs the power to weed out the guys that do not buy into his program.

Who are you calling pretty???

:laugh1:

How would I handle it? Pretty much how I described earlier. I'm only interested to see how Garrett actually does handle it and whether or not I will be surprised.

...Should be interesting to see how Garrett/Cowboys handle this. Barber's a captain.
