Everyone bags on this team about leaders. Well here is one of them. You can tell he is as frustrated as is humanly possible and you can tell he doesnt care To be doing this.
But he does it and he has the right answers and that is what a leader does.

I love jay ratliff, have listened to him many times on smoakys show that was on ktbb.com
to me, if the players on defense like newman, ken hamlin, spencer, played as hard as ratliff does, give it your all, work hard in the offseason, then this team would be unbeatable.
Interesting thing to see what one of the things ratliff said, the defenders are eager to learn, in regards to why the defenders didnt excel in pass coverage.
ok, if the cowboys defenders are eager to learn, then to me that puts it back onto the coaches on defense getting them ready.
but it sure does hurt when your head coach didnt run these schemes in minicamp, OTAs and training camp, because wade said i didnt want to get players hurt, because when you blitz you tend to get players hurt.
that to me is just an excuse for really not doing your job;
look at the jets, they ran multiple blitzes in traiing camp and they have their players ready
i think i might have a handle on this now about our defense;
first scheme wise, wasnt ran enough from the defensive coordinator (in other words, we had to correct the run defense after tampa bay game, now we have to fix pass defense after giant game which goes back to something wade said last year, we got outcoached)
2nd enough players havent had their belly full of thats it, thats enough, No more bad games, gets upset at players and coaches for not doing their jobs on defense, makes them accountable, in whatever way they have to
fix those 2 things and i think our defense will vastly improve,
wade must show a nasty dispostion when players dont run his defense right, but at same time, wade must work them till they get it down on schemes
while the players with a couple like bradie james and ratliff start making players accountable on defense
