Now Garrett Can Silence The Naysayers - like me

[VACowboy]

Due to all the third and short yardage. It's our running game that's allowing this and not miracle catches

Exactly.

Jerry doesn't need to make any decisions on coaching until the end of the year. And he surely doesn't need to be making decisions on Garrett right now, knowing DaBill Callahan is in the last year of his contract and how he was dead-set on leaving in the off-season and he did not want to stay.

Marinelli is in the last year of his contract as well. If you sign Garrett and these guys bounce, Marinelli maybe wanting to go to Tampa with Lovie, and Callahan doesn't want to coach the OL and wants an OC position to actually call his offense, and he's surely going to get looked at the way he has developed this OL, then what...

Jerry has no power to stop them contractually after this year and he may have to dole out serious cash...

Next level forward thinker ova er...great post!

on #2...
You are speaking of just two plays out of how many 3rd and shorts? You address #2 like it happens all the time.

You did get that this comment of mine was about more than one game? Right?

 

[TwoDeep3]

They're converting on a league-leading, what, 56% of third downs?

Got that. And how often do they do something amazing and you shake your head because it was improbable. Look beyond the stats and see they are pl;aying great, but the ball bounces funny at times and amazing doesn't have a component of every day or it would not be amazing.

Rely on beating that shate out of the other team on the ground, getting first downs through power and controlled passing, and try and eliminate the improbable. That is what will make them fulfill our desires and the best team in football.

I am please. More than pleased. I want to see routine excellence. They have that capability. It's not too much to ask.

Thats not exactly true. People here don't hate him. They just hate his playcalling which has been atrocious for many years. That stigma just doesn't go away in a snap.

Agree about his play calling, which he gave up last year.

I actually like his new role now of just cheering the team on and agreeing with his assist coaches. The less we have Garrett calling the plays the better. Call it addition by subtraction.

This is exactly what I'm talking about. Does a compliment get more backhanded than this?

I would call a #1 rushing attack, 56% third down conversion, 34-min time of possession and Demarco Murray's sixth straight 100-yard game sustained excellence. Tony Romo's passer rating is over 100. Now, if you're talking about eliminating special teams gaffs and turnovers, I agree (though, TO's have been much better since St. Louis). Without the blocked punt for 6 and a muffed punt on our own 15, we're up by 14 or so and Tony's handing the ball to Randall instead of chucking it downfield.

The problem with posts like "Now Garrett Can Silence The Naysayers" is that it's moving the goalposts.

If the Cowboys crush the Giants, people will say, "Good win, but if Garrett REALLY wants to Silence The Naysayers, he has to beat (Insert name of opponent.)"


This isn't an attack on the OP, btw.

 

[gmoney112]

He already shut up the naysayers by the dominating performance this week.

If he really has anything else to prove, besides making the playoffs, then you're just being a stubborn mule.

So displaying leadership and correcting mistakes by managing them is moving the goalpost?

Gosh, how did Apple get to be so big?

Or demaqnding he be accountable for the mistakes that broke in favor f dallas this time, but could very well go the other way.

That is his job. If that puts a burr under your saddle, then I apologize.

If it puts a burr under his, then he needs to find a different profession.

What made previous championship teams from Dallas what they were was leadership, correcting mistakes and executing.

I hardly see how that is being harsh.

There isn't a team in the NFL that doesn't have mistakes week in and week out.

You're asking for perfection, which is quite frankly, impossible.

So you're basically already setting a defense for criticizing Jason because you're holding him to a ridiculously high standard.

Hence, stubborn mule.

So, just curious. Were you around in 1992 and 1993?

Therein lies the answer.

So, unless Jason surpasses arguably the best team of all time, in a salary cap era nonetheless, you won't be "silenced"..

You just proved my point.

 

[TrailBlazer]

You're right. I should have said "Some people will never give him credit."

I don't think it matters what this team does. Jason Garrett will never get credit for success in Dallas. I'm already hearing/reading how Garrett has been "successfully neutered," that he's nothing but a puppet and how the team is winning despite him.

Naysayers come with the territory. Nobody will be calling for his head. And he keeps the best job in pro sports. He will be showered with praise.

 

[maxdallasfan]

Just like Romo will never get credit if this team wins the Super Bowl.

Oh it was all Murray.
Oh it was the OL
Oh it was the revamped Defense
Oh it was the other team's mistakes
Oh it was Eli
Oh the Iggles should have been there

I can see it now.

 

[Dave_in-NC]

One good season so far. I will enjoy this season. I want to see how it lasts. one good season does not make a great HC.

 

[TrailBlazer]

He is a CEO type coach. He doesn't micro manage his assistants. Rod is in charge of the defense, and Linehan for the most part runs the offense(with Callahan and JG sprinkled in). It's working. Red is a good motivator and the team plays hard. That's a reflection of the staff and ultimately the head coach.

No, it proved you don't understand my point. Its called holding people accountable to execute. Every year some team does it better than all the others and wins it all.

Results, not excuses.

It's time for Opie to step up and show he is ma real head coach and can steer the team via leadership and motivation to achieve the prize. Has nothing to do with what you continue to suggest.

How he gets there is unimportant. Holding the OC and DC to a standard of excellence is the same as he doing it all. Jimmy didn't do it all. He held people accountable.

Opie

This right here tells me that your whole so called observation is just based on your hate for Garrett!!
