Sigh:

 

[Scot]

Maybe we will get lucky and Rush can Tony Romo Dak right out of his starting position

 

[Dodger12]

We need to forget about second rate QB's and hoping they turn into a franchise. We got lucky with Romo but we should still have given some attention to the QB position over the years. Until we get serious about the position, we won't sniff a SB.

Defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli is the coach who appears to be on the thinnest ice, in part thanks to an inability to adjust on a game-to-game basis, something that showed up against an Eagles team that is very familiar to Dallas, and in how the Chargers and Packers easily roasted the Cowboys’ man-to-man looks earlier in the year. The Cowboys turned over a lot of personnel on that side of the ball, of course, and that’s part of where the problems were, but there’s also a feeling not enough was done to prop up rookies like Jourdan Lewis and Chidobe Awuzie, who were quickly thrown in the fire.

As for the offense, if the changes aren’t as big on the sideline, I’d expect there will be some significant ones coming on the field. Dez Bryant clearly has lost a step, and his ability to extend his prime will come down to whether or not he can adjust his game the way Larry Fitzgerald did a few years ago—becoming better at the little things, and dedicating himself through training and nutrition. Even if he does that, it’s clear Dallas needs to get more explosive, with Bryant not the downfield threat he once was. I’d expect an effort to fix that, and maybe add some depth to an offensive line that clearly missed Ron Leary and Doug Free.

lol, of course not. I'd love to be a fly on the wall over there, I can see coaches and scouts wanting Rush to get some snaps and jeri killing that idea because he thinks fans actually care about the "show"

One word: Coaching

 

[TheZoneSucks]

One word: Coaching

Proof that if you don't see dramatic improvement year one then you hired the wrong guy. Sticking with him out of nepotism is only going to curse your franchise.

Amen. With ole Jerry boy its a war of attrition.

 

[Haleyrules]

The Dallas Cowboys need new ownership for things to really change.

 

[Haleyrules]

The Giants land Gettleman and the Cowboys spin their wheels. Sad.

Bryant is not in the same category of a Fitzgerald. He is a red zone jump ball specialist. Either he takes a huge pay cut or he gets released. It isn't complicated and he knows it.

The Cowboys won't get close to a SB as long as Jerry is above ground.

Cheers me up everytime I watch it.

Sigh:

Bryant will say anything to prolong his career in Dallas.

 

[SixisBetter]

Bryant is not in the same category of a Fitzgerald.

Plus he's pretty stupid. Except for Bailey and maybe Okung, Gundy's OK State rosters seem to be ate up with dumbass.

 

[Scot]

They just promoted Lance Lenore from the practice squad.

So now everything is in place to allow Dez to save face and not play this week, thereby not embarrassing himself any further

He’s been on the injury report and now his replacement is ready to play

All is good in the world of Dez
