I think I have finally figured out the Dallas Cowboy team.
Its their attitude.
This is comments from players last few weeks.
Marcus Spears; on our defense, you will get no sacks, or pressure from me, Fergeson, or Canty. Our defense is made to stop the run, then funnel pass rush to Ellis and Ware. WRONG ATTITUDE. I remember Parcells defense with Giants, and their defensive ends and Jim Burt would make sacks. Granted most of it was by the linebackers on sacks, but defensive linemen would sack QB too. YET, OUR YOUNG DEFENSIVE ENDS THINK ALL THEY HAVE TO DO IS STOP THE RUN, THEN ITS UP TO ELLIS AND WARE TO GET SACKS.
Crayton; countless times he has stated he has to get his head in the game to play, and he wont scrare you on put returns, he just stands there. Wrong attitude.
Jason Witten, to best of my knowledge, this is his 4th year, yet, he just barely is above his blocking last year on runs or when pass blocking. Yet, he is 6-5, 265, you cant tell me, he hasnt tried to get in weight room, and streghten to get better at blocking and not jumping offides on plays.
Al Johnson, has been with team 4 years, the Cowboys have tried to get him to add weight and strength, yet he wont. Wrong attitude.
Flozell Adams, the Cowboys have tried to get him to wear and install a hearing aid, he refuses, WRONG ATTITUDE, YET HE JUMPED OFFSIDES TODAY, COULDNT HEAR SNAP COUNT PROBABLY, AND OG KOSIER SAYS HE HAS TO SHOUT AT HIM IN PLAYS ON PROTECTION SCHEMES.
I know you cant expect perfection from the players, you can never get that. Yet, I am beginning to think, they have the attitude of win, then its ok to lose, then we can win, then we can lose, its ok.
Best of my knowledge, we had that attitude when Jimmy Johnson came here in 89, he cleared house, then he got the Cowboys believing they were going to win and be dominant, have nasty attitude.
Then, you see our blitzes, sending 5, 6 or 7 players on blitz, yet we cant get there with the players. That to me is attitude and defensive coordinator scheming up plays to get players free. Look at the way the Giants blitzed us, the Commanders today, Houston first half, Eagles in Phily, yet, our defensive coordinator and defensive players cant get there on blizes. AGAIN ATTITUDE.
TILL THAT CHANGES GUYS, YOU CAN FORGET ABOUT WINNING.
