Who do you think Brooking hit??

[Avenging Hayseed]

BOOM....Close this sucker up now. CASE CLOSED. All hail............ME!...LMAO! I kid I kid....Still just geeked from the big win last night.

 

[ManicDepressiveMan]

Newman has played much better since Brooking clocked him.

 

[adbutcher]

it irritates me to no end how willing fans are to crap on our players.

no loyalty at all, it's all about being right and proving something

Zero. It is the stupidity of the agenda.

I love the Cowboys, I love the Cowboy Players. We are winning, that is enough for me.

 

[Frozen700]

Dude use common sense.....unless Brooking went up too Newman, Slapped him, and said something encouraging like, "i am just trying to get you on the same page, im not the enemy"

But if he just slapped him? Newman a vet at that?...we seen Newman, and his attitude.....Newman Vs Moss a few years back when he went off....Newman vs campo, a freaking coach....and we also seen other things with newman vs other WR's i forgot

he has an attitude....he would def swing back and fight....and it would have escalated, and leaked out......

the announcer said Brooking was new at the time, begining of the season it happened...be real..you think he would just come in, and slap newman and walk away? it had to be a younger guy, that respected him, or knows they were wrong

or even a back up

It wasn't a starter. Leaders know you never make examples of those you cannot afford to expend.

Yea but holding them accountable and making everybody think they can be replaced brings games up to a whole nother level.

 

[Draegerman]

Yeah but the local media would've spun this as Cowboys locker room in turmoil and about 60% of our fanbase would've bought into it.

There would be a 25 page thread on it and the TO apologists would've been saying I told you so.

I'm just surprised that ESPN didn't report it as though Brooking was a team cancer, responsible for a divided locker room.

True but that applies to coaches and maybe to some veteran leaders already on the team. I don't think a new guy coming into a team has enough clout with the team to do that.

I am Leaving it alone, minds have been made up and lines have been drawn in the sand. No matter how idiotic, that is what people are going to roll with.

Yeah, i'm done with it too.

 

[pjjrfan]

i heard a story about Charles Haley and Jimmy Johnson that I don't know how true it is, but it went that during a post game after Haley had been gotten from Frisco the team defense had a bad game and that Johnson went into the locker room and told the team and Haley in particular that he was brought in to do a job and if he couldn't do it he was out and Jimmie didn't care how crazy he was. I heard he told him that to his face in front of the team. How true is that? That leadership has to come from someone maybe it wasn't to that extreme but I'm glad Brookings or anyone on this team is holding someone accountable.

 

[CaptainAmerica]

My guess is Hamlin or Newman.

Thus the comment.. "There's a new sheriff in town".

You don't say that if you jacked up a rookie or 2nd yr player like Jenkins or Scandrick.

 

[Doomsay]

Anybody with sources find out who it was yet???

 

[TD-33]

I have my doubts about it going down anything like collinsworth made it sound.

 

[Maikeru-sama]

Didn't read through the thread but when I heard about this from Cris Collinsworth, I thought it was probably Mike Jenkins.

True, but that comment can also be taken as an attitude shift.

Meaning that if you mess up, you will be held accountable, which was not the case last year.

 

[Hostile]

One of mine won't say. I have asked someone else.

 

[zrinkill]

I happen to know for a fact that it was Newman that Brooking hit.

You are full of it ..... you do not know jack.

 

[TD-33]

And Brooking walking back to a player in the secondary and popping him in the side of the helmet and saying something to the effect of "Get your head on straight" != running back out of the blue and leveling somebody.

It would be nice to have the facts but until then I call b.s. before this becomes urban legend. :



"Yeah, and on the next play, Brooking runs over to Igor and suplexes him!" lol

 

[Maikeru-sama]

There is no question it was a member of the Secondary.

Based on what Cris Collinsworth said, when the player mouthed off the first time, Keith Brookings didn't have time to retaliate because he had to get back in position for the next play.

If it was someone in the Front Seven, he would have had time to do something.

I still think it was one of the youngins, maybe Jenkins or Scandrick.

I just don't see him going after Terence Newman.

Interesting, I've got to imagine that there might be some locker room buzz about it this week given that it was revealed during national game coverage by an announcer.
