My Formal Apology to Jason Garrett (1 Viewer)

Footballguy
AND Thank you to Jerry Jones

It's time I formally apologize for my apathy and critical voice towards our coach Jason Garrett. He took over as interm coach in 2010 and was "Jerry's Guy" which always scares the hell out of me. Looking back on it, Jerry and his son seem to have come to an accord. They seem to have agreed to share power and include their head coach in the decision making. Positive step number 1.

The Making of the 6-1 Powerhouse 2014 Dallas Cowboys

So here is what I see now, that I didn't see back then. Then being 2011's 8-8 season. We were patching up the O line with journeymen guys and doing the same on defense with only Lee and Ware as superstars. What I didn't see coming was the change in draft philosophy. Between Wade Phillips and Jerry they both wanted stars. In 2010 they drafted Dez, Lee and 4 players that no longer on on the team.

They went 1-7 to start that year which got Wade fired and began the Garrett era.

The first thing Garrett had to do was finish strong and prove the team would play for him. He did that. The team was in just about every game losing by 3, 1 and 3 in the only games they lost in the second half of the season. The next thing he had to do was draft well and not have a losing record while he rebuilt the team to keep the pressure off him and Jerry. How did he do that?

He hired great coaches. He kept the O line coach in Hudson Houck, he brought in a team of great coaches that could coach up the players he had. He had perhaps the best positions coaching he could find, even hired consultants for every position group.

His press conferences were generic. "We need to focus on this week", "we need to get the right kind of guys who go about their business the right way","It's a process and we are just continuing the process of building the team with the right kind of guys". All boring and uninformative stuff right. But was it?

You see, he was a part of the 90's Cowboys teams and he new what a Superbowl team looked and felt like. He saw what Jimmy Johnson did to build a superbowl winning team. If Jason Garrett is one thing, it's SMART. He is also very humble and players, staffers, even the janitor loves the guy. So what does he do, well lets take a look.

2011
2011 1 9 Tyron Smith OL
2011 2 40 Bruce Carter LB
2011 3 71 DeMarco Murray RB
2011 4 110 David Arkin OL
2011 5 143 Josh Thomas DB
2011 6 176 Dwayne Harris WR
2011 7 220 Shaun Chapas RB
2011 7 252 Bill Nagy OL

Goes 7 for 8 on draft picks with 3 pro bowlers. Smith, Murray and Harris as one of the best special teamers in the league. Carter, Nagy both help the LB core and O line at key points during the season in which seemed like players were going down like flies. The only bad miss was Chapas but hey 7 round pick.

2012


2012 1 6 Morris Claiborne DB
2012 3 81 Tyrone Crawford DE
2012 4 113 Kyle Wilber LB
2012 4 135 Matt Johnson SS
2012 5 152 Danny Coale WR
2012 6 186 James Hanna TE
2012 7 222 Caleb McSurdy LB

This was the last year that Jerry Jones dictated the draft. You could tell that he wanted to splash and that got them off track. You will see by next years draft the strings were moved info a few more hands. I recall a big argument about the picks that year. Garrett and Stephen Jones both storming out of Jerry's office upset at his stubbornness. This was a typical Jerry draft. Flashy but short on talent.

Did get some solid players in Crawford, Wilber, Hanna, while we never new with Glass Johnson and McSurdy's career ending injury. But MO is probably a bust.

But now look at how they got back to business.

2013


2013 1 31 Travis Frederick OL
2013 2 47 Gavin Escobar TE
2013 3 74 Terrance Williams WR
2013 3 80 J.J. Wilcox FS
2013 4 114 B.W. Webb DB
2013 5 151 Joseph Randle RB
2013 6 185 DeVonte Holloman

Now this was a defining draft and WAY WAY far away from a Jerry Draft. This draft is 7-7 folks. That's right. I must admit even I threw up my hands and said "who the FK is Travis Frederick". We all know who he his is now. Perhaps the best center in all of football. You saw what Escabar can do last week with 2 touchdowns. Terrance Williams or (TD Williams) or Toe Tap Williams which ever you prefer is playing at a pro bowl level. JJ Wilcox starting FS. Randle and Holloman both have played well when needed. Webb the only player cut this year but could also play and was picked up by the Steelers as soon as he cleared waivers.

2014


2014 1 16 Zack Martin OL 2014
2014 2 34 Demarcus Lawrence DE
2014 4 119 Anthony Hitchens LB
2014 5 146 Devin Street WR 2014
2014 7 231 Ben Gardner DE
2014 7 238 Will Smith LB
2014 7 248 Ahmad Dixon SS
2014 7 251 Ken Bishop DT 2014
2014 7 254 Terrance Mitchell CB


Now here is where the final piece of the puzzle what slammed home. Folks you're looking at another 7 players. A pro bowl G in Martin that if the voting were not skewed towards skill plays, is hands down rookie of the year. Demarcus II is coming on line in two weeks after breaking a bone in his foot trying to get by our Mauler in Tyron Smith. Hitchens who was able to hold own the Mike LB spot like a pro leading the team in tackles and a forced fumble in his first start. Both street and Bishop are solid.

Oh and a simple phone call from Jerry Jones gets Rolando McClain, the 8th player taken in the 2011 draft, comes in to start at Mike linebacker in place of Sean Lee and shocks the house dominating the position. This kid is for real folks. He may be better then Sean Lee at the position. That is SCARY.

Now lets zoom out at see what Garrett has assembled here in three years.

Our O line with three 1st round pick is perhaps the best in the league allowing Murray to break Jim Browns record for 100 yard games with 7 and will soon be 8 after monday night.

Now Romo doesn't have to do it all and has time to pick teams apart which he is doing week in and week out. El Matador (slip) which ever you prefer has been this guy all along. The difference now is the he doesn't have to make magic on every play throwing into cover two with a extra safety or LB playing robber knowing we have to throw to win. You don't see teams dropping LB and linemen into coverage anymore ending up in places they shouldn't be, when Romo throws a ball that ends up picked. Defenses have to focus on the run now so Romo can throw against straight up coverage.

So I am here to say Sorry Jason for not seeing what you were doing. Thank you Jerry for giving up some control and letting your son and Jason build this team they way it should have been built long ago.

For now we have a juggernaut that can go on the road, in the cold, into Seattle, and dare I say Green Bay and Maul teams up front. We can run on you and if you slow that down, we can pass all over you. On defense we force you to drive by limiting big plays. We take the ball away and get off the field on third down. This team is built to win and win for the next few years. This team is physical! As evidence I submit teams that play the Cowboys are 1-5 the next game out. That's because they were punished folks. Just like in the glory years. We use to be the team that players were on the turf after a play in the 4th quarter rolling around one after the other. Did you see the Seahawks players on the last run by Murray. The linebacker was on his rump, Sherman was a scare crow holding his shoulder down like his arm was about to fall off, and the lineman was face down. As for Murray, he got up, dropped the ball, looked back and strolled back to the huddle.

Can you imagine next years draft if there's a tackle on the board in the first round. Then all defense in the rest. Boy oh Boy the Cowboys are back. Thanks to Garrett and is staff of coaches, looks like we are going to be a team to reckon with for years to come. The Cowboys are relevant again.

I wouldn't have gone as far as starting a thread on it but the kid is right.

I wa really down on Garrett and I admit I still don't like his buddy buddy relationship with Romo but after I started listening to podcasts of the local media, I'm on board. They all rave about Garrett and how Garrett has finally gotten Jerry to back off. They talk about how he's a mix of Landry and Jimmy.

 
Season doesn't really start until after the bye. Could still be looking at a one and done playoff team if they can't beat the Eagles on Thanksgiving,

Pretty much the same as every team's fan base.
Actually I think it's far worse. They're stuck in the 90s/70s.
You're a Saints fan. Your team has been relevant for about 5 minutes and that window is closing fast. Give it 10 years and you'll be raving about the good ol days too.

Way to go out on a limb..that was so much writing that I didn't even read past the first paragraph.

Anyways...my prediction for this thread is that you are going to be sorry that you wrote by the end of the year. Every year there is a team that starts super quick and lands with a fart.

Let's say that you guys finish 15 - 1 and lose in the first round of the playoffs. Are you still satisfied? I would not be. This is the kind of post you should make after 2 or 3 Superbowls, not a 6 - 1 start. None of those wins look great, even the Seahawks win is tarnished now that we know the reason Harvin was traded was because he was ringleading a group of idiots into performing a 'mutiny' on Russell Wilson.

Very good analysis my friend. ...very well put. I will add that a few of my fellow Cowboy brethren that have absolutely slammed Garrett and the organization should chime in as well (some have). I won't say names but they know who they are. 6-1 is not a guarantee SB appearance, division clincher or even a playoff spot but dammit you have to see the "process" that has been underway for some time. I will add that the telling fact was when Wade was fired and the team was left for dead...but they responded during that '10 season.

Here's to hoping that the experience that JG gained during the SB glory years comes to fruition....remember the Special Teams draft?...just imagine what if?

You obvious don't know Cowboyz1. I may be fairly new here but I have been with my team through thick and thin. Some that know me from other sites will back me up on that.

The Cowboys have sucked **** since 1996 but were still bandwagon fans. So tired of that shtick.

2007 was magical...smoke and mirrors but magical nonetheless. No we probably wouldn't have beaten the Patriots in the SB (remember we got trounced at home during Brady and Moss finest season) but we should have beaten the G-Strings if P.Crayton doesn't give up on this route in the 4th.

I never said anything about going to the Superbowl or even winning a playoff game. What i said was, Garrett has put together a team that has allowed Murray to break Jim Browns 56 year old record, which is no easy feat. I said, he has drafted with purpose and drafted player that can contribute. I said he has been successful in getting Jerry Jones to buy into his long term plan and not go for the shinny object in every draft. I said this team is relevant right now and looks like they can be relevant for years to come if they continue to use the strategy they are currently using. I am well aware that there is an entire season left to play and we could just as easy stumble a few weeks down the stretch or have key injuries that derail us. However, we have a team with a lot of the "Right kind of guys that go about their business the right kind of way" and have bought in to what Jason Garrett is trying to do.

Will we get to the SB? I doubt it. Will we go deep in the playoffs? Possibly. Will we play tough the entire season and make it tough on teams to beat us? Absolutely. The one thing this team does not have is playoff experience and understanding how to win in the playoffs. Were are one of the youngest teams in the league. It would be great so get that experience this year and be ready to go deeper next year after another strong draft to improve the defensive side of the ball. You're going to have to rush the passer when you play Manning, Brady, Rivers, Luck and Rogers and expect to take a trophy away from those guys. Right now they are struggling to do that.

I am simply saying thanks to Garrett we are on the right track.

I don't know what Dallas does this season but going forward into 2015 and beyond I do like where we are on OL. Drafting has improved for sure.

 
Skins fan here, and while I think you're a little over the top, I'm positively, furiously jealous of the attention your FO has put on the OL. 3/4 1st rounders in four years going towards the OL is my dream for the Redskins.

With those picks hitting, it's not a surprise that you're mauling teams up front, finally taking advantage of Murray's talent as long as he's healthy, and controlling the clock.

HFS :lmao:

 
Garrett still a moron IMO, took him 4 years to realize they should be running the ball not having Romo throw it 45 times a game.

 
Mid-season apologies are weak, especially where Romo is involved. The fall could be spectacular, 2007 style

Apologize after the Championship, like many of us did with Teddy T.

Couldn't agree more. I live in philly so obviously we hate Dallas. I listen to sports talk radio every morning and for the past 10 years no cowboys fans called the sports radio station I listen to to brag. All of a sudden they are having a good start with Murray and they come crawling out like ####### cockroaches. Where were you when cowboys were a laughing stock and the definition of mediocrity. Went 8-8 like 3 season and were a joke. Cowboys will come crashing down. Murray cannot keep the pace he is on and is literally THE ONLY reason you are 6-1. If keeps your ####ty defense off of the field from getting exposed and we all know what Romo does when the pressure is on. Can't stand roaches and those are the cowboys fans 100%!

Excellent posting
 
I think most Cowboys fans feel relief that the team seems to have found an identity and is moving in the right direction. At least that's how I feel. It doesn't mean anything else at this time. The season is halfway over after this week and the money games are on deck. I don't know if Dallas even makes the playoffs but for the first time in years I am glad to see the good type of consistency.

 
Haven't been on in a long while. RL is a formidable endeavor at times.

At any rate, I know how this might come across at 6-1, but I still think JG is average at best, and at worst a terrible coach. Fell behind 21 points to the Rams for chrissakes. Needed OT to win against the Texans. At home. With a terribly stupid decision to go for the long FG on 3rd down. While the team won the game, that was a terrible decision, which is all on Garrett.

What's saved the Cowboys is the fact that Garrett has been removed from the decision-making process to a large extent, having the offensive coordinator roles shifted to a person who knows how to (literally) run an offense. Thank god Garrett is no longer calling the plays. It's our only chance to compete. I hope Murray stays healthy, but would it really be a surprise to anyone that this team finishes 8-8 or 9-7?

Link to post from before the season praising the coach and recent drafts, etc. etc.? Serious revisionist history going on in here.

So your saying Pete Carroll is a horrible coach. The superbowl champs were down 21-3 and got okie doked twice. We came back and won the game. A W is a W and you can't have it both ways. They found a way to win. In the past you have to agree that they lose both of those games you spoke of. By the way I have no problem trusting Bailey to kick a long field goal, cause he is money. He's missed 1 field goal dude, after 30 consecutive makes. Yeah, I give him a shot, and don't think twice about it.

Seems premature.
By what measure?

Garrett has orchestrated over the past three years:

The best O line in football today

The best running back in football today

The best Wide receiver core in football today

The offense has the best 3rd down %

The defense is in the top 3 in 3rd down stops

and they're 6-1.

I don't know how you measure solid growth. From my chair, this team is heading in a very positive direction. Hey, I know there is a long way to go and entire season is still left to play. I get that. No one understands that more than me. All I am saying is Garrett has done a great job putting us in a position to be strong down the stretch when the weather turns and games get big.

Slow down my friend. 5 of the next 9 games are divisional games. 5 of your last 7 seven games are away games.

Eagles next 5 games are 3 away 2 at home. After that they play 4 divisional games out of 5 and 3 of those are away.

I think what Arizona does these next 2 weeks is going tell us what happens this year and by that who wins the division.

The NFC East division winner will go to the Superbowl this year.
