Part 2: How to fix Dallas Cowboys
Me after this year. So, why not let me do it my way, let me choose coaches that I want. Let me bring in
Norv Turner as Offensive coordinator. You can let Bill Callihan go, or keep him as our OL coach and assistant
Coach for offense but Norv calls the plays, I trust him. Bring in Leslie Frazier, or Ray Horton or Todd
Grantham as defensive line assistant. As Jason Garrett is headed out the door, Jerry Jones says ok, one
Thing, run the blankety blank football, (which is something Norv Turner did with Cowboys when he was
Here).
Tackles, and a sack. So, Jay to me, violated his contract, does anyone know or heard what happened
On this issue, where Cowboys maybe are appealing with NFL to get money back & not have to pay
Jay Ratliff 6 – 7 million dollars in dead cap money this year? There was an article written up where Jay
Said he couldn’t play this year, even his agent said he couldn’t play, and they told the Cowboys that, as
Soon as Dallas Cowboys released Jay, the very next day, Jay gets clearance from a doctor that he could
Play, but his other doctor told Cowboys he couldn’t play last year in 2013.
The deal or what you want to do is clear up 55 million, which the cowboys cap
At 145 million now, 29.5 million over the cap. Which would leave about 26 million, the Cowboys need to
Clear up at least 22 to 24 million. The Cowboys then need to get at least 2 super players, that have been
On superbowl teams, that are leaders. Example, the Cowboys got Mike Dikta and Herb Adderly in 1969
And 1970, these players showed Cowboys players what it took to win championships. This was done in
Mid 70s when Cowboys signed TE Jackie Smith, who showed Cowboys they weren’t playing like a team
But playing off of past, sure cowboys lost the superbowl but they went that year to. In 92, the Cowboys
Traded for Charles Haley and Thomas Everett, along with Tony Casillas, boom, 3 championships for
Cowboys. The great QB Troy Aikman said it best, we didn’t know what it really took, to win championships
Till Haley got here, you have to have a swager, grit, this is my house, your not going to disrespect it. Parcells
Changed the thinking to, when he brought in Keyshawn Johnson, Marco Riveria, Jason Ferguson, and Terry
Glenn. The attitude in Dallas changed, along with a player like Marc Columbo who was mean and nasty on
OL. We saw that attitude change on OL when Cowboys signed Brian Waters. Now, the Cowboys need at
Least 2 key players that are championship type players to show current Cowboys players what it takes.

Step 3, this is critical: When teams lose their head coach, and fire most of their current coaching staff,
There are players on that team, that get overlooked, and can help your team. Example, in 1975, the
Cowboys picked up former rb Preston Pearson, who was great for the Cowboys. The Cowboys did
This also in 1990, from a poorly coached team, and Ray Horton, who solidified the secondary, from a
Poor coached team with the Bengals. Keep in mind above, where I mentioned Ray Horton in another
Paragraph. With 24 million extra money for cap, at least 3.5 for draft, 3 for emergency or so, that should
Leave at least 15 to 18 million, to resign what players we need, or get some good free agents but we must
Have at least 2 key players that are championship type players, have what you call the superbowl swager
And attitude.
Step 4, Jerry Jones must give alittle more control to the coaches, to do what they know, while at same
Time giving Jerry Jones credit for giving them permission to get the Cowboys back to winning ways &
Championships. That’s what Jerry Jones wants, to be given notice and credit. Promote Will McClay, who
Is doing a good job, he is main guy from what I heard that has helped the Cowboys find key players last year
To replace players that were hurt.
Step 5.
We all know about the injury bug last year, with hamstrings, groins, etc…. Best I remember the Cowboys had
A similar issue in 2010, with nagging injuries, one coach best I remember who had been sick, was let go. Yet,
Here are the cowboys again, with nagging hamstring issues. Best I remember, there are 2 sports events that have
Found success on hamstring issues, which have helped, maybe the Cowboys need to look into this, or look
At their past trainers, conditioners for the players and our strength coach Mike Woicik, something is working.
http://www.rugbysuccess.com/hamstring-injury-prevention/ I know that Bill Parcells would check in with the
strength coach, to see who was working out and who wasn’t, if you all remember in 2010 word was leaking out
that some players were offering trainers money not to work out, etc, or be in shape. Not sure if trainers accepted
the payment or whatever, but red flags should be going off with Jason Garrett, Mike Woicik and Jerry Jones on
conditioning training.
Step 6, The Cowboys awhile back hired a very good analysts for down, distance, 3rd and 1, key plays to run,
the Dallas Cowboys let that person go, maybe they need to rethink the analyst part, we all
Saw how for whatever reason, on offense and defense, refusal to like blitz first part of the season on defense, refusal
To run, that needs to be addressed and looked at big time. Whether it was play calling done wrong by Bill Callihan or
Jason Garrett, or Monte Kiffin, that needs to be looked at and revaluated big time, don’t sweep it under the rug, or
Be stubborn, that your going to pass, pass no matter what, or your going to leave your defense out to dry, and not
Give your cbs help by blitzing, when you know your defensive linemen are hurt.
Step 7, For whatever reason, we drafted pretty good last year, so whoever was responsible the same person needs
To keep that up, whoever was in charge. But we need also someone that is a Jimmy Johnson type horse trader, for
Example when we traded down to the 31st pick with the 49ers I believe, all we got was a 3rd round pick, yet, 49ers
Made a few other trades similar to what we did, and they got more. We need to get value for trading down, if we do
So again, in the 2014 draft. We all know and have read where the Lions laughed at us, and at Jerry Jones, when they
Said, you could have gotten Roy Williams WR for a 2nd round pick, but Jerry gave up 3 top round picks. For gosh
Sakes, Jerry Jones and Jimmy Johnson made the value trade value chart, use it, its not outdated. All, NFL teams use
It,, fix it Jerry Jones. Do all of this Jerry Jones, you will get credit, for getting the Cowboys back to championships.
- Jason Garrett goes into Jerry Jones office next week, tell Jerry, look you & I get along pretty good, we
Me after this year. So, why not let me do it my way, let me choose coaches that I want. Let me bring in
Norv Turner as Offensive coordinator. You can let Bill Callihan go, or keep him as our OL coach and assistant
Coach for offense but Norv calls the plays, I trust him. Bring in Leslie Frazier, or Ray Horton or Todd
Grantham as defensive line assistant. As Jason Garrett is headed out the door, Jerry Jones says ok, one
Thing, run the blankety blank football, (which is something Norv Turner did with Cowboys when he was
Here).
- Restructure these contracts below: Hopefully, we can get about 5 million back from the Jay Ratliff issue,
Tackles, and a sack. So, Jay to me, violated his contract, does anyone know or heard what happened
On this issue, where Cowboys maybe are appealing with NFL to get money back & not have to pay
Jay Ratliff 6 – 7 million dollars in dead cap money this year? There was an article written up where Jay
Said he couldn’t play this year, even his agent said he couldn’t play, and they told the Cowboys that, as
