Mailbag - Did Garrett "sabotaged" the team's offense to get Wade Phillips removed?
Cowboys Mailbag
Did Jason Garrett "sabotaged" the team's offense to get Wade Phillips removed. Does anyone believe this?
(Editor's Note: Each day we will take the 2 best questions for our staff writers to answer from the Mailbag. "Click here" to email questions now.)
MARK THOMPSON - WASHINGTON, DC: A few fans have expressed their beliefs that Jason Garrett "sabotaged" the team's offense to get Wade Phillips removed. Does anyone believe this?
Nick: Not for a second. Any other time it takes to answer this is a complete waste, in my opinion.
Rob: So Garrett "sabotages" his chance at 31 other head coaching jobs in the hope of getting one? Ridiculous. It's the type of excuse people make when they don't want to admit their team just hasn't been good enough.
Josh: It's really a ridiculous idea. No, I don't believe any of that, and I think anyone who considers that a serious possibility has very little grip on what actually goes on in team sports.
TOM BINASCO - BROOKLYN, NY: With Tony Romo on the sidelines watching John Kitna run the offense, do you think Tony is picking up anything from watching Kitna?
Nick: I think that's a good question and something you don't always think about. Regardless who is playing quarterback, I think Romo, or any player, would benefit from taking a step back and watching from the outside. Add in the fact that Kitna is a veteran and has a different outlook on things and his approach, and maybe Romo can pick up a few things as well. That'd be a great question to ask Tony . . . if of course, he was around. We just haven't seen Tony much since the injury but that wouldn't be a bad question for him.
Rob: Sure. He's learned a lot from Kitna about the position. As far as what we're seeing from the offense under Kitna right now, I don't think it's much different in scheme. The differences Sunday were better blocking and a lead, allowing Kitna to diversify the playbook.
Josh: I think they're probably on par with one another as far as how they think about the reads and the progressions in the passing game. Romo could afford to take notice of Kitna's leadership standard, though. Kitna doesn't play politics and he seems to be one of the guys. I think Romo is a hard worker and tries to lead by example, but I don't see him making the same effort to be a part of the team. Maybe it happens and we just don't get to see it, but that's my take.
