I couldn't agree with him more. I'm not a WP fan as HC, his style is just too soft for me but I do believe he learned a helluva lesson last year and will do things differently in 2009. Well, I'm pulling for him anyway...

As I am watching the video I am getting the impression Schein thinks Olshansky and Brooking will be difference makers in Dallas.

He's wrong. They are role players, not difference makers.

This defense runs on the fuel of Ware, Rat, Newman, Hamlin and Bradie James.

I'm going to disagree with you on Olshansky. I think he will be a difference maker.

 

[NextGenBoys]

I think Olshansky will step in and not miss a beat filling in for Canty.

We've never really had a GOOD linebacker playing alongside Bradie, so I dont think we'll lose anything there with Brooking. He's most likely better than Ayodele, and while isnt as smart as Tomas brings more to the table physically.

The only position I'm not comfortable with is safety. I have never been a big Ken Hamlin fan, and I dont know what Sensabaugh has.

I don't think whether they're "difference makers" or not has any bearing whatsoever on his thesis.

I think you missed his point....

Not me.

He will do what Canty did and he wasn't a difference maker.

Good player, but I am not looking for anything special from him.

 

[Hostile]

I disagree. Playing between Ratliff and Ware will make a huge difference.

Really?

Cause he brought up the two losses at the end of the season to the Ravens and Eagles by saying the team had no heart and energy in those games right about mentioning that's exactly what these two bring to the table.

As if to say.

If they were there those games may have been different.

Hence them being difference makers.

But that's just me.

 

[Ren]

2 things that scare the crap out of me, "Wade Phillips team" and "Wade Phillips guys" :bang2:

 

[dcfanatic]

I think you missed his point....

I got his point.

Wade has some of his guys now to try and control the atmosphere and instill some work ethic/high energy/high motor stuff into this defense.

But I don't think adding these two and losing Thomas and Canty changes the defense all that much.

I don't think we upgraded or downgraded by the moves.

 

[dcfanatic]

I disagree. Playing between Ratliff and Ware will make a huge difference.

We'll see.

I hope he has 13 sacks in the first 4 games, lol.

 

[Hostile]

We'll see.

I hope he has 13 sacks in the first 4 games, lol.

I have more realistic expectations.

But now you're talking about two different things. Being a difference maker in terms of production vs. being a difference maker in terms of presence.

I am talking about we would still have lost if Olshansky and Brooking were here instead of Canty and Thomas IMO.

 

[GoBoys41]

I for one think Adam Schein's football knowledge blows, but he and Chris Carlin are funny as hell on Loudmouths.

 

[Rampage]

we upgraded. even if you want to call Canty/Igor a wash Brooking is an upgrade over that midget Zach Thomas.

If that is your definition of a difference maker, then absolutely I do believe that those two are difference makers.

The team as a whole, QUIT at the end of last season. Because there was a LOT of division on the team. Zach Thomas wasn't happy in Dallas. Chris Canty wanted the paycheck of a superstar, even though he is just a good solid player. TO thought that Dallas wasn't getting him the ball enough. Burnett wasn't happy as a nickle LB, he wanted to be a starter. The team as a whole was a bunch of different players all playing for themselves, who just happened to have the same color jersey on.

Both Igor and Brooking know exactly what Wade Phillips expects out of them, and will ask them to do and are very happy doing just that, and don't have grand visions of being something else.

Will either Igor or Brooking be game changing players, absolutely not. BUT, both players do know exactly what Wade Phillips wants out of them, and are happy playing their role. Thinks like that affect more than a game, those things affect an entire season.

Sports, and football in large part is about alot more than just having a bunch of talent on a field, there is alot to be said for having guys who know their role, and are more than happy to just play their role, and not try and be more than they are. This team still has more than enough superstar talent (Romo, Witten, Ware, Ratliff, Newman). What the team needs are guys who know their role, and are happy to be just that ROLE players, not guys who want to be more than they are.

I disagree. Playing between Ratliff and Ware will make a huge difference.

He obviously played on the opposite side of Castillo but was he on the same side as Merriman of not?
