It looks like Red Clapper still coaching that team. But then again they did win a few games. I agree. I also think Matt Rhule is going to be a terrific NFL coach and would have been a great choice to replace Red. Then again...idk if Rhule would want to deal with an owner that puts himself in charge of everything from jocks to socks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the best quotes I seen today was about that very “soft” thing. Too many “right kind of guys”, not enough guys with “questionable parentage.” There is no fight in this time. It’s 53 individuals and not one team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difference is that those Cowboys might have been out manned...and they might have lost 15 times...but they would still fight you until the final gun. I just dont see the fight in this team. Who is to blame? Mccarthy? The players? Jerry? Our talent level is so much higher now than it was then. You have a bad memory if you think otherwise. Two rookies at quarterback, Paul Palmer in the backfield, Herschel was traded after 5 games he was our Zeke, Kelvin Martin was the leading receiver that year with 644 yards, a young Michael Irvin that only had 377 yards, Doug Cosbie was gone and we had Steve Folsom, Moose was a rookie full back, the offensive line wasn't established and still had Tom Rafferty anchoring it at Center, Crawford Ker, Tui, Nate, and Gogan filled the rest of it. On defense an aging Too Tall and Manster, Willie Broughton, Jeffcoat, Jack Del Rio, The Hitting Machine, Norton Jr., an aging Everson, Vince Albritton, Ray Horton, and Robert Williams. The secondary was the same talent wise today, but the NFL wasn't pass happy just yet. This team has the talent on paper, except for our front line, unless everyone was healthy. We have a decent front line and linebackers, but they can't do their job if our secondary can't cover anyone. As I said I think we just need to start over from scratch and rebuild.

Dallas needs some of that elite defensive talent. A top cover cornerback. An edge rusher. An athletic fat daddy defensive tackle. A linebacker upgrade. Dallas could have their pick in that range.

Crawford Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 I thought this was a interesting article. The Cowboys' toughness and togetherness are under siege, and the fix falls squarely on Mike McCarthy Dan Wetzel ·Columnist Tue, October 27, 2020, 11:50 AM CDT After a 2-5 start, Mike McCarthy’s list of things to fix with the Dallas Cowboys is lengthy. Quarterback. Zeke. Defense. O-line. You name it, it’s there. This team is terrible. It lost the past two games by 28 and 22 respectively. None of it matters, though, until McCarthy goes back to square one. You can’t win in the NFL if you aren’t tough and together. You may not be able to win in high school that way. No amount of talent or scheme can overcome the basics of the sport at the pro level. You either play as a team, with a heavy dose of fight, or you lose. It’s such a given that it is rarely even discussed, rarely even considered a must-do for a head coach, let alone something to be reconstructed in the middle of a season. Yet on Sunday, after quarterback Andy Dalton was concussed by head-hunting Washington linebacker Jon Bostic, not a single Cowboy ran to his defense. No one confronted Bostic. Mike McCarthy has a very basic problem to fix with his Dallas Cowboys, but it's a major problem nonetheless. (Joe Nicholson-USA TODAY Sports) There was no pushing or shoving or throwing punches, all of which would have been justified, especially when Dallas was trailing 22-3 in the second half and thus could afford a penalty. Worse, there wasn’t even some yelling, some jawing, some getting in Bostic’s grill. There was nothing. Dalton was laid out and his Cowboy teammates acted like they didn’t care. It was shocking because some response, even tepid and showy, occurs in 99 percent of these situations. This was the sign of a heartless team. “We speak all the time about playing for one another, respecting one another,” McCarthy said Sunday after the 25-3 defeat. “That was definitely probably not the response you would expect.” Definitely, probably not. And it’s a sign that McCarthy needs to speak a lot more than “all the time” about “playing for one another.” Due to the historic ineptness of the NFC East, the Cowboys still have a viable path to the playoffs. They are only a half game behind the 2-4-1 Philadelphia Eagles, who they visit on Sunday night. For Dallas to make anything of this gift of an easy road, they need to do the first things first. Fingers need to be pointed at the players, of course. No one needs the 56-year-old McCarthy out there trying to fight someone. His days as a juco tight end are well behind him. Yet the culture of the team starts at the top. There are demands. There are expectations. There are non-negotiables. Maybe McCarthy assumed the basics were in place and didn’t focus enough on the proper response to seeing a headhunter knock his quarterback senseless. Yes, that’s on the players. It shouldn’t matter that Dalton is in his first year with the team and replacing the glue of the franchise, Dak Prescott. Family is family. Next man up. Yet it happened, even among players from whom you would expect basic leadership. “When I go into the locker room, there is no leadership void in my eyes,” Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said on 105.3 The Fan in Dallas. Both Jerry and his son Stephen Jones have expressed support for McCarthy, who was brought in to replace long-term coach Jason Garrett and take the Cowboys from decent to contenders. McCarthy won a Super Bowl in Green Bay and regularly put together one of the best teams in the NFL. Dallas has been a disaster schematically and with fundamentals, particularly turnovers. So there is, again, a lot to do. Yet for McCarthy, the challenge this week is something out of the Pop Warner leagues. In the ultimate team game, a team that isn’t a team doesn’t stand a chance. You have to play for each other. You have to defend each other. You have to fight for each other. Dallas had no fight on Sunday. Until that changes, until McCarthy can flip the mentality, then the rest doesn’t matter. It’s a strange coaching challenge for late in October, but here we are. Ezekiel Elliott’s struggles can wait. He can’t keep letting his team get punked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KirtFalcon Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Jerruh will probably seize the opportunity to take the Cowboy's first round early pick and parlay it into multiple mid and late round mediocre talents .... can't afford to take a chance on any of the first round blue chip difference makers out there .... yea, ole Jerruh ain't gonna waste no first round pick on no long haired skinny QB from Clemson when he can wheel and deal and trade that pick for 7 or 8 mid to late round culls ... no sireee .... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dallas had Dak on a 4th round contract and did absolutely nothing to maximize the talent around him on a cheap deal. The fans wanting Trevor Lawrence/Justin Fields need to keep that in mind if you want Dak traded and the cheap rookie QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
