watching last night game someone was interviewing someone from the Bears and they said that they needed to get back to playing "Bears defense". Now everyone knows what that means - physical, in your face defense that has historically been good. You can say the same thing about Steelers, Raven, Patriot defenses - big, physical, punishing defense based on being mentally and physically tough. You can even make a case for the Eagles as being a very aggressive, blitzing defense. But what about the Cowboys? I am trying to avoid the word "personality" because Parcells says thats a word the media comes up with that means little. But how is our defense known? Parcells drafted big athletic guys but I still dont see them as being physically or mentally tough. Would you say we are historically a finesse defense?

The word is "passive"

We try to be too smart and play safe.

I've never officially joined GROZ, I tired to reserve judgment, but this year has made me the #1 advocate.

Goodbye Zimmer, Hello Doomsday!

This is my coming out party...GROZ in 2007!

I think Ghandi wrote the Cowboy gameplan while Malcom X hooked up with Payton to strategize.

IMO ware is the only one that has been somewhat consistent these past three games ive seen roy williams miss 4 tackles because he tries to arm tackle players.

I think Greg Ellis' loss is beginning to be felt.

Passive, over rated, soft, weak minded, the list goes on and on.
