First, learn how quotes workSecond, barber rushed for what YPC? Yes, it's the OL.Puh-leaze.... The OL is the issue, not Jones. Hard to get traction when you get only 8 carries.
When you get the call - please rush for more than 3.4 yards -Jones is a bust - its official
I hope to god this is sarcasm
Weak draft OVERALL and especially for lineman....there is some decent cb talent from what I hear.
I do too. Otherwise it will shake the very foundation of the NFL as we know it.simmonjm said:
You're not serious?Tyrion said:
How can you say this? He had fading talent in Dallas, and barely any in Buffalo. He competed in both places despite that. I'm not sure why you call him a bad head coach when he hasn't had ample talent at any of his coaching stops.
Was never a fan of his when he was in Dallas.
I didn't like when they lost Flozell Adams. When they decided to keep Roy Williams as a 3rd receiver and kept all the Rb's, they basically said we're all in this year, so I don't understand why they didn't find a way to sign Flozell. I understand that the penalties he created were huge, but in turn they brought in a guy that was just as bad as him to play and he isn't even as good of a blocker as Flozell.W/e, it's not like if he was on the team we'd be in playoff contention it was just something I raised my eyebrows about when he was released.
ESPN has a nice article today, highlighting how the offensive side issues with the team are primarily on the OLA couple points:
It's not even limited to just one player. I'm not sure who is coaching the OL, but he should be fired, and the players should be benched at least a play when things like this happen.
What's there to say?Fire Wade? Duh. Who to replace him with? Does it matter? Next year's draft?I guess we can talk about the 1 bright spot, Dez.
If Jones had any pride or honor he would send a grounds crew to Lambeau to clean off that giant turd his team left on the field. There is no way the Packers grounds crew should have to wipe up that mess. it would be a nice gesture.
there's blame for both players and coaches herebut the bottom line is as a head coach this is your team, the buck stops at you. If you cannot get them to play, bye bye.
Sorry, but drafting a QB is probably the stupidest thing the Cowboys could do. They don't need a QB, they don't need to address offensive skill positions. They need offensive linemen. What they should do, is trade the pick, given it likely will be high enough that some team will pay a lot to move up. The Cowboys can move down, draft the best OL on the board, and add maybe an extra pick or two later, and use those on OL as well. Offensive lineman, outside of LTs, are probably the easiest position to coach up, given the player isn't old and feeble like most of the Boy's current OL.
The stories are:Garrett fired as well. Wilson promoted to OC.DeCamilis (sp?) interim HC.-- or ---Garrett interim HC- depending on which rumor you want to believe.I hope they fire Garrett.... he's AWFUL.
Drafting for need is a slippery slope and you know it.If Dallas manages to secure the top overall pick, and Andrew Luck (who many are saying is on a Peyton Manning level of football competence) is there for the taking, you HAVE to draft him. Yeah, you may be able to trade and and draft for need, but when has this personnel department proven that they can do that? They can't. There aren't any elite OL or DL coming into this draft.The only way it makes sense trading away the chance at Andrew Luck is if someone offers you a Herschel Walker deal. Or even a Michael Vick deal. But that won't happen, because Buffalo is cheap, Carolina is cheap, Arizona is cheap, and Detroit has no need.I am in complete support of keeping Romo around as the starter. He's fantastic. And what better way to turn over the young, high-powered skill positions of this offense than to have him groom Andrew Luck for 2-3 years. Look how well Philip Rivers has done sitting his butt on the bench for two years and watching Drew Brees. Carson Palmer the same. Elite QB talent has to be taken, no matter if you need it or not.But if you think they need to reach for some dope OL or FS, by all means, maintain the status quo Jerry Inc. has propogated since Jimmy left.
Who is to say Andrew Luck turns out any better then Leinart. There's your Arizona comparison. Leinart sat behind Warner and still sucks.Drafting Luck now, would be stupid. You're paying two QBs big money, and you're trotting them out behind a poor OL.Drafting for need is only bad when you reach to fill the need, which is why I said trade down. And why are we talking about trading down with Buf, Det, or Carolina? What about Cleveland? Or Oakland? Or Washington? Or a bunch of other team's that, despite doing decently this year, still need a QB?If they trade down to even middle of the first, and can pick up an extra pick or two, they can still draft BPA, but have a better chance at BPA being a need, and not reaching to fill it.
I would start with Mike Jenkins.
Kitna and Felix aren't starters. Kitna is a backup who is only starting since Romo is hurt. Barber is the starting RB. Felix still is performing the best of all the RBs on the roster.The whole defense? That would be hard to do, but outside of Ware, none of them are playing with heart. Jenkins and Newman look especially terrible, Ratliff just seems to disappear at times.I'd like to see Bennett more involved on offense. He showed real heart last night when the game was totally out of reach, but he still carried 5 GB players on his back to get the first down. The Cowboys need more players like that.
I agree. I would bench him for a game and insert McCann. At least McCann is fighting.
JJ has proven that he does know how to put a trade together.
Well, whether they are ABLE to do it or not is up for discussion. It's still smarter to try that than it is to draft Luck with the second or third pick overall.
Everything I've read indicates that Luck is the consensus #1 pick and its not close.
Kitna is the "starter" right now. So I'm asking how close he is to being benched. Felix gets a lot of playing time and missed a huge blitz pickup last night and really isnt doing much with the ball and has dropped passes etc. Regardless if that's been "best of all the RBs" which is obviously debatable, I'm asking whether Choice will be given more chances in lieu of Feliz now.I know that the whole defense isn't going to be replaced. It was just a reference that the defense as a whole hasn't been able to stop anybody, and asking what people felt they were going to do about it.You'd start getting Bennett more touches instead of Witten? Who loses touches in this more Bennett scenario? More importantly, what does it seem JJ is going to ask for as far as changes in personnel and play-calling (on both sides of the ball)?
Because right now, Luck is grading out as the best QB prospect in years. Some believe better than Bradford.If you try to trade down, you're not getting the pick's worth if you trade to a team below #5. And it's going to have to be a hefty price to pay if you want to draft the next Manning. Perhaps two drafts worth of picks. What team is going to mortgage it all for Luck?
Regardless, Dallas should trade out of the top pick and drop 15 spots because they need a mediocre RT.
Not a RT... just far more pressing needs than QB, period.
