See this is what bugs me about our team. Why can't our players make adjustments correctly . Are they not as smart as the rest of the players in the league? It doesn't seem like other teams have to adjust their playbook because the receivers do not understand the adjustments. Is Garret's offense so complex that our receivers get confused (I doubt it). What's the deal with that. It's their job to know what's going on in the game, so are they not studying enough? Are they not intelligent? frustrating
I can only speculate, but offensively and defensively, I have some doubts in regards to some of the best Cowboys players over the best 10 years or so when it comes to retaining knowledge and then applying it quickly when needed. How many times over the past 10 years did we hear the defense had to be dumbed down, yet again? It happened under Parcells. It happened under Wade. It's happened under Garrett.
I don't know, man. Perhaps the Cowboys have fallen for way too many Claiborne's when they should have been falling for more Zack Martin's over the years? I know a very large portion of this fan base would hate it if Dallas became more blue collar, but it sure is funny how much better off the Cowboys appear to be when they take smart and tough over fast and flashy.
