I believe in the philosophy of Jimmy Johnson, in that regards to practicing, fatigue makes cowards of you.

Lets see now how I will back this up;
1. In the Cowboys practices with the Broncoes, several denver players said, because of all the hitting, all of the dallas cowboy players didnt seem like they liked all of the hitting, so shoving, hitting, penalities occured.
2. In the game there were sure a lot of dumb penalities.
3. Even the Moose fullback Johnston said there was alot of poor tackling techniques.
4. Cowboys had a problem with special teams last week, so how did they correct that spent, alot of extra time on special teams drills.
5. IN the injury to Miles Austin, Ray Sherman the wide receivers coach said he tried to stop Austin foom getting back onto the field, but didnt in time, is that another poor coaching by special teams coach Read?
6. Finally, the Cowboys as you know dont tackle in practice, etc, and it showed up again in the game last night.

So, YOU ARE WHAT YOU PRACTICE!!!!!!!!!
NOW WHOSE FAULT IS THAT, AS THE HEAD COACH??????????????

I don't necessarily disagree with you, but jeez...not this **** again.

I think we are seeing some effects of Camp Marshmallow, here. But that's why we have the preseason - for them to get used to the contact. We're just a little behind the other teams, but it should even out.

Hopefully.

Right guys?

Further case in point in what I am trying to drive home about coaching style of this team and the players. Wade Philllips was quoted as saying that he didnt think he would play Adam Jones on punt returns, but Jerry Jones was asked after that, or so it seems, and Jerry said, I am hoping to see him play on special teams some.

We all saw how Adam played and lifted the team on that one punt return. But Wade Phillips didnt want to play him. Now if Phillips wasnt pushed into playing Adam Jones by Jerry Jones, we wouldnt have had that big punt return, the Cowboys wouldnt have gotten that score and the team wouldnt have gotten that lift that you get on punt returns.

So, YOU ARE WHAT YOU PRACTICE, IF YOU DONT PRACTICE TACKLING, IF YOU DONT PRACTICE TO AVOID PENALITIES, KNOWING WHAT REFS CALL ON CERTAIN PLAYS LIKE PARCELLS USED TO TELL HIS PLAYERS. JUST LIKE WHEN FLOZELL ADAMS GOT CALLED FOR FALSE START, AND GURODE SHOWED WHOM WAS MOVING ON THE DEFENSE, GURODE WAS SUPPOSE TO SNAP THE FOOTBALL, AGAIN POOR COACHING UP BY THE COACHES, SO GURODE WOULD KNOW WHAT TO DO AND SNAP THE FOOTBALL INSTEAD, AND THEN NO PENALTY.

YOU ARE WHAT YOU PRACTICE!!!!!

just think about it fans,

1. special teams play was bad last week, why, then the cowboys had to spend an extra hour and half after jerry jones said something had to be done.

2. no tackling in practices, poor tackling in the game last night.

3. coach sherman tried to get austin off the field on kickoff but didnt in time, why was he out there to begin with.

4. last week, special teams coach read said, it was my fault to lowber for only having 10 men on the field, i didnt get you out there in time, why?

5. gurode motions to the defensive player that moved, but in that instance he is suppose to snap the football, why didnt he, is this or my point to get you fans see if there lack of coaching some on this team, whose fault is that?

sure not jerry jones because he has gotten the players, and he said something has to be done on special teams after last week, and wade phillips said i dont want to play adam jones on punt returns, but when jerry said he would like to see him a couple of times, we saw the results;

again why does jerry jones has to say something needs to be done, when it should be the head coach or coaches.

Myself, I would prefer a few missed tackles in the preseason than a chance at a few injuries. Staying healthy is the key here.

Camp marshmellow might be causing more of a conditioning problem.

Denver was moving the ball on us and we were extending plays for them with stupid penalties. This would cause us to tire faster and lead to sloppier play.

Our defensive game plan looked different from 1st and 2nd stringers. The second stringers were getting after their QB and the coverage seamed tighter.

I thought about reading this, but the lack of caps and exclamation points, and generally even-handed approach prevented me from caring.

I will say good points and I think things started to spiral ALOT after Tank's (or Bradie's - I'm pretty sure they said "56") personal foul. Those sorts of things can change a game.

That personal foul was very iffy, how does Brady stop his momentum as their player is hitting the ground? I saw alot later hits we were taking that weren't called. :banghead: If a game is being called tightly, lets call it tight on both teams.

I hate all caps shouting. 99% of the time I don't even bother to read what someone has thought out. I quit reading as son as I was being yelled at. How bad do you need coffee if you're already yelling?

Not real fond of lots of exclamation points either. Why is this, !!!!!!!!!!!, more emphatic than this, ! ???????? See how annoying that is?

Just a heads up jimmy got the fatige/coward thing from lombardi. But u are what u are and I'm sure ppl will say the same thing when cleveland puts 40 up! Its just 1 game why is the sky falln and let's go kill ourselves. then when we are 2-2 leading the league in penalties ppl will say its only been a month don't why panic. Then when the boys lose 3 of 4 in december oh we have to rest our playrs n the coaches don't wana show anything 4 the playoffs. Next its 1 and done n ppl will bring out every excuse why they lost including last yrs favorite. Jessica is training camp.
