After an uphill fight. We finally have gone 3-4. We drafted hybrid DE/OLB in Ware. DT/DE Hybrid in Spears. Went with #42 for a big LB in Burnett!
There was no Howard Trade! Its dead.
The 3-4 is here - great day for the Dallas organization.
All you Nors haters - kiss my *** tonight!
And bow to the Northeast!
Take a lesson from the whale Nors. He only gets harpooned when he comes up to spout. Luckily you live in the area of the country that whalers came from, perhaps there are Emergency rooms to remove the harpoons.
For those who don't know, I sent Nors a PM tonight saying I finally agree we have the
personnel to run an effective 3-4. Dominant? No, I can't go there because I'd rather have La'Roi Glover on the field than Bradie James. Great defense is about putting your best 11 guys on the field. You won't find a
football coach anywhere who disagrees with that. To find people who condone that you have to search message boards and find people who spout stuff with arrogance. Spouters are easy to find, they stick out like sore thumbs.
Let me tell you some ways in which they are easily recognized.
#1. Every poster makes suggestions, speculations, or predictions. The Message Board spouters are no different in this respect, but they hate debates. The only real difference is in how they handle the reactions to their postulations. Don't debate a spouter. It mortally injures them.
#2. They think everyone should automatically agree with them just because of who they are. Disagreeing with them is not having a difference of opinion, it is evidence of "hate." No matter how many times you assure a spouter that there is no hate, they feel hate because you aren't drinking their Koolaid. It is a personal affront to them when you disagree. Disagreeing with a spouter means you are "insulting" said spouter.
#3. Spouters are wrong just like everbody else. The difference is they will not admit or accept that they are wrong. Point out an error to a spouter and they interpret it as more hatred.
#4. Spouters can be just as right as everyone else. However they do not recognize anyone else for being right. They only seek recognition themselves. When they are right, even to the smallest degree they strain arm muscles patting themselves on the back and attempting to rub noses in their predictions.
If you put the pieces of the mosaic together you will realize that we are not dealing with a rational person who wants what is best for the team or who listens to what anyone else says and tries to apply it to further the overall football knowledge of a group. Spouters want everything to be about them and their ideas.
A spouter wouldn't want to hear that the real reason a prominent poster on a subject isn't posting might actually have to do with said prominent poster taking his family to the State Fair. Naw, to a spouter it must mean that said prominent poster is silent because he has his head in the sand in utter humiliation. Doesn't matter at all that nothing could be further from the truth. Not even a little bit.
Well, pardon me if I don't pucker up, and if I don't genuflect to a geographic region. Until I can be proven wrong even one time on the things we've actually discussed as opposed to the things you imagine we discuss you can color me not impressed by the chest thumping lack of class this displays.
I'd repeat the laundry list of things spouted upon which you are 100% wrong all the time on a consistent basis, but I really am in no mood for more spin control. Too happy with the Draft and the fact that Jerry Jones and Bill Parcells (football men) foresee a defense that is versatile as opposed to magic. From where I sit they seem to have done something knowledgable posters on this forum have preached for years now. They went out and improved the
personnel.
You see, I know you'll deny this and try and spin control it, but everyone with half a brain will know the truth. You haven't been preaching a switch to a 3-4 once we acquired players of this caliber. You've been preaching it with the acquisitions of people like Scott Shanle and Ryan "The Real QB Killa" Fowler. Everyone knows it.
No one would accept it with that kind of personnel because the scheme is not magical. Not one person who has debated the 3-4 on the opposite side of you "hates" the 3-4. They hated the idea of a scheme run with sub par
personnel. Luckily for those of us on this side of the fence where the tornadoes aren't spinning, the football men at Valley Ranch did what we have asked. They went and got the
personnel to make the switch if they decide to. Of course they haven't said they will do either scheme yet, but spouters will ignore all facts.
Meanwhile I will enjoy watching you make a fool of yourself drooling over a player you said it was "idiotic" to consider over someone you liked better. I mean it is amusing how you have already changed your tune thinking everyone will forget your advice that we "book it." I seem to remember saying that since you are never right about these things that I wouldn't book it. Who says History doesn't repeat it self. It's Groundhog Day.
Spouters are so predictable. Congratulations on the Howard deal being dead. Please do all in your power to explain why Ty Law still isn't under contract begging to give us a Parcells friendly deal to play FS here. On 2nd thought, don't. The wife went to Costco Tuesday and we don't need TP.
Where's that Henson trade by the way?
Now, go ahead and whine about the "insults." Your fault that you invited the harpoons but go ahead and blame everyone else. Nantucket would be a good place to find a surgeon. Good luck.
A wise old cowboy once told me, "never take a knife to a gunfight." He should have changed it say flyswatter. Now, go swat the demons who "hate" you.
Predictable.
