where's the toughness

[cjr126]

i mean can someone explain to me where the toughness is on this team

i don't think i have ever in my entire life seen a team be less physical than this dallas cowboys team

on both sides of the football ... i mean for a big offensive line they get manhandled pretty easily

the defense is about as meek and soft as you can get

they don't hit ... they don't tackle ... they don't intimidate

the only thing this team has learned to do is celebrate ... i mean 2 weeks in a row i have to watch igor olshansky celebrating after a tackle when his team is getting it's "you know what" handed to them ... especially on defense

It went out with the brains. Now they have neither.

I made a thread with almost the same exact thread title word for word about a month ago. I was shouted down by almost everyone in that thread.

This team has not been a physical team for years now, not since Zimmer was coaching em up on the defensive side.

The Giants physically mauled us on their offensive line.

Our o-line couldn't open any lanes.

It's disgusting.

Look SOFT and PLUSH

I think they have given up

with Wade they now they are not going to win a thing

Jerry wasting away talent

IMO physicality is set by the safeties and linebackers.

We dont have a single safety or LB that hits hard, that sets a tone (btw, I count Ware as a DE).

it's ok, you can count Ware as a LB too, he doesn't hit hard either.

he had a perfect opportunity implant his helmet in Eli's back, but instead he went for a strip that we didn't recover.

Ware does not play mean.

They were pretty soft during the end of the Parcells era too. So I blame the only constant throughout this entire period - the strength and conditioning coach Joe Juraszek. Combine a lack of enough intense physical training + Wade's methods and it's not pretty
