So now defending teammates and coaches is a bad thing?

What he said to ESPN after the Werder thing was stupid. But it seems like here he's doing the right thing.

Meh... It would have been easier just to put a "+1" to what theo said.

 

[YosemiteSam]

Why is it dumb Theo?

Enlighten us boy wonder.

You hate him because he defends his teammates? It's not his job to publicly call out his teammates. Thats the coach's job at best.

The guy is a great player who works hard and does his job and you hate him because he doesn't throw his teammates under the bus like some **** players. :bang2:

 

[dcfanatic]

+1.

Terence Newman sig for this guy.

Again, they write themselves.


Plus I am guessing he's got a memership in the T.O. fan club too.

In a league where the "shutdown" CB has gone the way of the dodo, Newman is as close to one as there is.

There isnt a CB in football I'd take over Newman when he's healthy. He works his tail off, is a damn good player and wants to win. He also isnt a one dimensional CB who simply wants to run around and knock down a ball here and there, he tackles and forces the run well too.

He's one of the best 3 players on our team.

He's a very good player. I never said he wasn't.

He was slamming Newman's attitude, not his ability.

Wait. Saying his coaches aren't accountable and then saying that his teammates are late to meetings is defending them?

On what planet?

I am with you DC, please keep exposing all these overpriced, lazy, overrated, heartless, loudmouth, gutless players with have no concept of team. I am off his bandwagon too, you can find me on Scandricks.

Did I read Newman's comments wrong?

This is a guy who has called out Roy Williams38. He called out coaches. He blamed losses on a snitch instead of just playing good football.

Look, I'm a big Newman fan. I think he's one of the best corners in the business, but he isn't above reproach. Unfortunately, he's another guy who seems to be saying things that are symptomatic of the problem. There's a lot of that going around right now.

Truthfully, I'm willing to write a bunch of this off as frustration since I think Newman is one of the guys on the team who really cares about winning. But it doesn't make everything he has said and done right.

good get off and don't come back.....Got Damn cry babies on this board i swear a bunch of women

He's on with Babe this week talking about Wade and how he won 13 games last year with his style. So just because he only won 9 games this year with the same style he doesn't understand why it's a problem.

I guess winning 13 games, but no playoffs game is 'ok' for Terence Newman.

He also talks about how there is no need to be mad in the locker room after the game because the games over and it's only going to make them sweat a little more for no reason.

My question is this?

Wouldn't just pure emotion still have you angry in the locker room mere minutes after being embarrassed on National TV?

I am starting to understand this team the more I hear them blab.

They just won't ever be champions.

It is what it is.

I think that a lot of fans have this misguided fantasy of athletes and their emotions. People feel like, if a player isn't visibly angry, that he doesn't care. Just because an athlete doesn't display his emotions, it doesn't mean that they aren't there. Do you really want everyone on the team to be on the sideline yelling at one another, like Tank Johnson was?

13-3, with no playoff win, probably was ok with Newman and the rest of the Cowboys. That doesn't mean they can't be frustrated that they missed an opportunity and could have done better. It is like taking a calc. final and getting a high B. You'd feel like, if only I had done a little bit more studying, if only I had paid attention a little closer, then I would have gotten an A. But when you get the results, you don't go ape poo crazy and start putting your fist through walls. The outcome isn't what you wanted, but it's ok, you'll get another chance next year.

Newman is exactly right that, just because we went 9-7 this year, that doesn't mean there is a problem with Wade. It's foolish not to take into account the major impact that injuries had on our season. Did the coaches always do everything perfect? No. Did the players? No. It's unrealistic to expect that. When Cowher had a three year stretch in the middle of his career of winning 7, 6, and 9 games, did it mean there was something fundamentally wrong with his coaching philosophy? Absolutely not. Sometimes you just don't have the right personell, whether it be due to injuries, unlucky drafting, or retirements.

The players care about winning, so do the coaches and our Owner. If you don't think that's the case, then find a new team to root for. But have fun experiencing the same exact thing, regardless of which of the other 31 teams you decide to support.

Exactly.

Me and BBGun see eye to eye.

Planet Earth, this very thread.

I used to love this guy.

But he's fallen into the 'defend everybody' mode which is too much like Wade for me.

 

[Frozen700]

Easy there, big fella...

my bad

 

[5Countem5]

The day ain't complete without 50 threads of dcfanatic bashing the Cowboys...

 

[Everlastingxxx]

bye...don't let the door hit you on your way out

Do i actually have to go through a door? You guys take things sooo seriously it’s freakin funny.

 

[dcfanatic]

Bro.....Go find your nearest bridge..please

Ok, I am here.

But all I see is T.O. with a torch lit standing there with a smile.

It's the 'T.O. cries for Tony Romo Bridge' if that helps you to let me know what I am supposed to do next.
