Garrett the name is kinda like a plague when associated with a football team it seems to infect many areas and not for the good.
You don’t think Jerry suks more. He is the one who continues hiring puppets.

You keep trying too. Still saying nothing.
No, I said plenty...and you continue for either an agreement or insult. Carry on, stud...

Now comment on MY post about Witten's comment on Moore...stud.

Plenty of 'nothing' sir. I asked you to clarify your statement:

What "agenda" do opposing player have in stating this?

:huh:

and instead received a bunch of gobbledygook in return.

If you don't have or can't give a valid answer, don't bother trying. And certainly don't try to deflect or divert from the actual topic being discussed here.

It always amazes me when so called professionals can't seem to grasp what knowledgeable fans pick up on almost instantly. It is either incompetence or just flat out shirking their responsibilities.

It's one thing to miss something occasionally but to continue to repeat the same actions after it has been exploited numerous times screams institutional failure.

JG maybe good at talking and motivating but as strategist he is inept.

So, our scouting only suks when we lose?

It always sucks. It just doesn't costs us games against the worst teams in the league. Talk about "talent" then, because that's what's making the difference against the league's patsies.

But when you go up against the league's better coaches who actually know about this stuff? Woodshed. And you clearly can't handle that fact.

By now, everyone knows the story behind last year's season ending loss to the Rams, and how they were able to run for 273 yards. They knew what the Cowboys were doing and schemed to take advantage of that. They knew Rod Marinelli's alignment tendencies and tells and ran all over the Cowboys as a result. Their own players came out and confirmed it.

And now we have opposing players saying the same thing, except now it's coming from the other side of the ball.

The Cowboys went from scoring 32 points a game to 10. And the Saints went from a questionable defense to looking dominant. One big reason? Just like the Rams, they examined these Cowboys and found tips and tells that helped them to know what was coming.

This team's pro scouting - and specifically self scouting, sucks, and is a major liability. Opponents can repeatedly find out this information about us, but not only can't we do it to them, but we can't even realize and eliminate our own.

It's a huge disadvantage and a clear and obvious shortcoming of this entire coaching staff, starting at the top. And Red doesn't get to deny it any longer.
It's what defensive coordinators do to every team in the league this isn't exclusive to us?

It's the reason people like RG 3 went from superstar to bad. It's the reason people like Kaepernick went from a championship quarterback to a chump that can't win a NFL game.

Defenses adjust. They learn tendencies. Change coaching schemes. It's the reason why Chip Kelly went from a world beater to Chump Kelly and out of the league.

There’s no question we didn’t tackle well,” linebacker Sean Lee said. “All of us didn’t tackle well. That’s something we usually hang our hat on ... Just traditionally, that’s what we do, but we didn’t do it today.”...

By the time the defense regrouped to allow just 14 yards of offense in the fourth quarter, it was too late.

“We can’t wait for a couple of explosive runs to decide that, ‘Oh, we’re going to buckle up and trust each other and play more disciplined,’” linebackers coach Ben Bloom told USA TODAY Sports. “We need to do that from the start of the game.”

https://www.usatoday.com/story/spor...s-explain-aaron-jones-run-defense/3905428002/

...The Cowboys have allowed at least 117 rushing yards in three of their five contests so far, including both losses. Players and coaches said they will hammer further this week on basic fundamentals, setting the edge, gap fits, assignments and aggressive tackling. But players from the largely intact fifth-best run D in 2018 left this Packers loss baffled by a Green Bay team they had felt prepared to take on. The Cowboys insisted they weren’t surprised by scheme as much as they failed to execute.

I have no problem with that. How do you suggest we get the better coaches?

and besides Belichick who’s really taking everyone to the woodshed without the talent?

The Cowboys had nearly 600 yards in offense against the Packers.

Maybe the Packers should have studied the Saints/Boise state a little better.
