McCarthy’s not interested in pre-season wins

It's the current culture of many DZ posters now. 100% negative, 100% of the time.

He don't like playoff wins either.

Lyndon Johnson defined a good Texas Ranger as one who got knocked down in the dirt; got up; dusted off; and continued right on with HIS mission!

Most other teams do the same with the exception of the Ravens. That means it should work out to around 50/50 win rate over time, but it isn't. This means there is a consistent problem with the bottom of the roster and the camp bodies being worse than the rest of the NFL most of the time.

Winning the games are not important, but trends can be, and should be noticed. Learn from it, and use it to figure out why this is the case.

The Houston Texans had the same amount of wins in the pre season last year as they did in the regular season. Quit being emotional.

This is why I posted in the game thread, when it was brought up about play calling.

They want to see certain players in certain plays or game situations. It would not be the normal play they call in the regular season.

Bill Parcels said that he would call odd plays, just to see how the players responded. Even if it meant taking the FG, or even punting the ball if they did not get the 1st down. As well, to see players reactions to the call.

Always prepare your players for all contingencies.

Last two games its been the opposing starters for a few series while we start our DT and a LB only. We sat Ferguson this past game. Second unit stays in through half. Second half the romper room randoms filter in.

Very few coaches try to win these things.

Waletzko and Overshown hurt but as we only exposed our backups our starters look good to go come the opener. This is an attrition league thus trying to win meaningless games hurts your chances in the regular season.

Dak not playing preseason games last year worked GREAT for us!
