i'm not sure honestly. It's just a hunch. At any rate, isn't his contract up after this year?

yeah it is, and reading between the lines on Jones' comments early in the season, doesnt sound like giving him another deal is a high priority

he should have his office cleaned out the second our season is over

Yeah Mike Zimmer is the reason why the Cowboys can't generate a consistant pass rush....:rolleyes:

yeah, he is

only been 7 years of being every opposing QB's easiest day at the office now under his expert watch

I have not read that anywhere. That is GREAT news. There may be hope yet for our D.

the Chargers just had their 5th sack of the night

not one of them have been by Merriman either

Wade Phillips is just doing an awesome job...their version of the 3-4 is everything ours isnt

no, but i do LONG for the day we can grow up and quit these stupid and senseless comparisons.

Agreed.

I don't know how much impact the steriods will have on Merriman's productivity.

But assuming it isn't a major issue, the guy is a beast and good.

There's no reason to belittle him because we selected Ware.

They're both good players.

And so what if he only has to take on backs. He gets the sacks and sacks are important because they're drive stoppers.

No need to justify the Ware pick. He was a good pick for this team regardless of what Merriman does or accomplishes.

Jerry specifically stated that Zimmer staying is supposedly dependant upon whether Parcells is staying. If Parcells goes, he wants to give the new HC the option of bringing in his own guys.

People forget that we were ******** about the pass rush even when Ellis was healthy. I still think it's more a matter of Spears and Canty than Zimmer, but Zim has outstayed his welcome.

yeah, their players win their battles

yeah, because a creative guy who knows what he is doing creates rush lanes, free runs to the backfield, overloads sides etc etc

I see San Diego's front 3 creating rush lanes

and most of the times just sending 4 LBs on the blitz, in a perfect alignment, straight-up, very basic

Put BP and company in San Diego and Marty and company in Dallas and next to no one knows Merriman's name, D Ware is a unanimous All Pro andT New becomes the next best CB since Deion with all the pressure being put on the QB.

Our coaching staff is average at best or they make our talent look as average as possible. Take your pick.

i know the biggest differnce

Ware has two TD's to his name

How many does Merriman have.

Sacks mean nothing, when you can put up points, and snag passes out of the air.

HA

lights out on this disccussion

Cowboys > Chargers

I'll take the pick that our front 3 isn't San Diego's in creating a push, and no other LB on the team, including Ellis, is a big force in the pass-rush

What makes you guys think that if we had Wade Phillips as our DC, Parcells would allow Pillips to run his version of 3-4 instead of Parcell's version?

It doesn't matter who we have as a DC. As long as Parcells is the HC, we will run his version of the defense.
