The Cowboys on the Brink Of Greatness

[·[A]koN·]

Nice post, I sure hope youre right, cuz all the years I've been a boys' fan really hasnt been too pretty. We've had mostly all losin seasons....I DESPERATELY NEED A NEW SPARK!!!

Greatness and Bledsoe does not mix well.

Some of you younguns need to go back a review you Cowboy History:

I'll make your assignment easy.......recheck the roster of the "91 Team".......Now check the roster of the "92 Team". Pretty much the same team. Now compare the "W & L" records. Even you guys had to crawl before you could walk......lol

Remember.....Patience is a virtue........

I dont know about the rest of you but i CRAWLED before I could walk. I have never crawed though. :tongue:

I agree though pops people don't know what patience is. What we need it to combine ScottCase and Mike and we would have a paitent fan who didnt panick and let the sky fall, but didnt drink to much koolaid either.

this team is on the brink of greatness. I know Parcells would never say that but i know him and Jerry feel this privatly . This team is still molding and gelling together, much like the 91 team which went 11-5. We all know what happen the following year. Guys Im telling you once this team can come together and the players get to that comfort level at there respected positions and with each other, they will take off. Keith Davis , is a player with tremedous athletic talent, who is also a very solid tackler, to me once he gets the more mental part down of his position his natural skills will take over. I say by week 8, you will see the secondary vastly improve because of this. Canty, Spears, Ware, Ratcliff,Brunett, are all rookie players that are vital in this defense's growth and ability. Right now they too are still working out the mental wrinkles of there positions, but You can see already there starting to come along. Canty had a great game last week, ware has posted sacks in back to back games, ratcliff came in and had half a sack, burnett is getting heathly, spears is improving. Again by week 8 I see these guys being players. You see once this defense gets alittle more experience , and a tad bit more mentally sound, there going to take off. I WILL BET THE FREAKING HOUSE RIGHT NOW , DALLAS FINISHES AS A TOP FIVE DEFENSE THIS SEASON.

On offense this team is trying to find its idenity. The playing calling has been solid, I think payton is mixing it up well. I think the trouble they run into is going to the well alittle to often in certain key circumstances. I think though as the season goes on this teams offense will gell. It takes alittle while for qbs to get adjusted to there new wr's and te's . You watch how well witten does the rest of the year. I just think this offense has shown the ability to get it done, and can win if the defense falters.This team just needs to build some steadfastness .


Im seeing a 10-6 season fellas and ladies, with us really taking off in 2006.

Parcells is doing a great Job, this will be evident when the music is over.

free kool-aid, pass it around.... :cheers:

I'm not buyin it until I see some changes on O and D. Like Witten not playing fullback but actuall catching passes (what he does best). Like Roy not back in coverage, but actually blasting RBs (what he does best). Like Ware rushing the QB instead of dropping into coverage....Like a blitz package that actually gets to and sacks a QB without giving him time to look through several progressions...like a running game that calls more than 3 different running plays and the same ones when they continue not to work...
I'll believe it when I see it, and i don't see it with Zimmer and I'm watching Payton pretty closely..

[Hostile]

If you're serious about that, I'll take that bet. Where do you live? Is it a nice house?

Don't bet with him Rack. He's a known welcher.

But then you would get to use that funny avatar on him again.

Exactly........

Crawed.......crawled....sorry about that.....my fingers got ahead of my brain.

Blame it on Old Age.

I want in on this bet also. I can use a nice house to live in also. :laugh2:

 

[CactusCowboy]

Cannot agree with you, sorry........

recheck the coaching staff back then....it was fresh and innovative, it put players in positions to succeed, it got the best out of players, it developed talent, it forged a team identity based on the talents of the players, ....

It's easy to pretend all this crap about the Cowboys coaching staff now. I wonder how innovative you thought it was in 1989.

Interesting take. Just a little to optimistic for my taste.

It's easy to pretend all this crap about the Cowboys coaching staff now. I wonder how innovative you thought it was in 1989.

But here's a key difference: Once Jimmy realized it wasn't working with a stiff like Shula, he fired him. I can't see Parcells doing the same with Zimmer or Payton.

 

[Silverstar]

The talent is already there for most of the positions. We just need to create some chemistry to bring it all together IMO.

You have to remember, that this team has about 20 new players from last year. I think that's part of the problem. We've had so much turnover since Parcells has arrived...it's mind boggling really. The team IS definitely better now, but all these guys have to learn a new system and that takes time.

After the bye, I think the new rookies/veterans will be more comfortable with each other and the team will have found its identity. Until then, we just have to hope for the best.

Welcome back, Mike...missed ya!

 

[MikeD17]

hey thanks la tuna nostra. hope you been doing good.

Im surprised that most of you dont see the obvious talent of this team. Do you realize how sick this defense will become?? Wait until we beat the eagles this week, you'll all be thinking ......hmm maybe we are on the brink of greatness....

 

[Sarge]

It's a little early to be predicting greatness IMO.

We need to be solid week in and week out before the word 'greatness' creeps outta my mouth.
