McCarthy: Aikman's comments don't carry any weight with me

[Risen Star]

Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy on Troy Aikman's comments: "They don't carry any weight with me, because I watch all the tape, I get to go to the meetings, I'm at practice, I'm part of the games. So I have a clear understanding of what and where. Troy's statement in particular, I don't agree with the word selection. There is definitely need for improvement in every position, not just one position that he commented on."

Which is a good thing. His knees can only sustain so much.

hes on his way out of the org, aikman on the other hand will always be positivly assoicated with this org

 

[Tangle_Foot]

A good thing for McCarthy, he has already reached his weight limit

Honestly, at this point why would anyone care what Jerry or MM have to say. It's all just platitudes at this point.

He calls the plays im shocked he dont agree with troy

 

[BleedSilverandBlue]

Troy, and almost every other NFL film analyst agree that the Cowboys WR routes are trash. The effort and sharpness of individual players is one thing, but the sheer amount of 5-10 yard stops is just unacceptable.

We have nearly the most static and unimaginative offensive scheme in the NFL. It is not doing us any favors.

How do you know McCarthy actually said this

Remember when Fat Mike lied about about watching tape in the barn? Even if he does watch all the tape, that just means he's even dumber than I give him credit for.

 

[Whirlwin]

I would stick up for my players also. but then I would get in their faces individually and let them know it.

 

[RS12]

Who cares? I doubt MM gets another HC job after this season. Enjoy your barn.

Just wait for those new wrinkles we hear about every preseason! Actually, come to think of it, I don't think we heard that this year.

The moment he said he has a "clear understanding of what and where" there should have been a hundred hands raised waiting to ask him why they are so bad at separation and why hasn't he done anything to correct it.

I'm sure he would have just spit out some gibberish about the opposing DB's being "quicker to the ball" and that GPS shows that these guys are trying their hardest.

Absolute fraud.

Man's on cruise control for that paycheck. Someone with little understanding of the game could tell you the scheme is pathetic

 

[Mac_MaloneV1]

Nor should they...publicly anyway.

Do you know what quotation marks are? Look them up and your question will be answered.

The scheme is the intelligent level of the player. We have stupid players just like some fans.

 

[fivetwos]

Did I read that wrong or did he say what Aikman said was unfair because other positions suck as well?

 

[CowboysRule]

I have a small glimmer of hope in my mind that this year will be like before and we will suddenly open up the offense after the bye and stop being so damn boring with everything. Stop routes, runs straight up the middle, etc. However, MM knows this is his last year and he has no chance of getting extended. He has enough money to support himself and his family. He'll likely just retire after this year, they have no chance of winning the Super Bowl and likely just an outside chance at playoffs, so why even try?
