What do you think, Rhynes, can we get Terrence Newman on the air?

LB Justin Rogers (back), an SMU product who is one of the Cowboys' better special teamers, won't play.

You know, it is funny...
…how much this team is reminiscent of the Switzer-era Cowboys of 97 or 98…
The team would be flat and play below its performance level, and everyone wanted to blame the problems on bad playcalling by Zampese (and now Garrett) rather than the players playing like ass.
by Adam J. Morris on Nov 23, 2008 12:44 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
i mean
the players are probably playing alright. but i’m not sure what you can do when you have a pass happy offense and a qb with an injury that hampers his throwing.

And Jerry encourages that, because he makes it clear that he’s the one in charge, not the head coach, and Jerry perpetuates the coddling.
by Adam J. Morris on Nov 23, 2008 12:47 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Yep
Jerry’s in control. He runs everything. Thats why we won’t see another coach like Jimmy on this team, because he would try and take control away from jerry. Thats why we won’t see a bill cowher on this team, which everyone thinks could happen

Well
We said that once before, and Jerry broke down and brought Parcells in.
Parcells got things back on track, and then Jerry decided things could go back to the way they were, where this is Jerry’s personal plaything.
Jerry sucks.

Hell, if i went 5-11 every year
But the good thing for jerry was that the year parcells left, dallas went 13-3, which jerry gets credit for.
And parcells didn’t have complete control….you think TO was his idea?
In Smoak We Trust
by Smoak Some on Nov 23, 2008 12:55 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Of course not
Parcells didn’t want Owens here.
I’ve heard it suggested that Jerry started asserting himself a lot more than last year or so, which is what led to Parcells leaving.

Come on. Parcells didn’t want Owens here. Everyone knows that.
And when you start referring to every college football head coach as “Quitter”, you can call Parcells “Quitter.”

Jerry started getting tired that Parcells was getting all the glory for changing this team around, so Jerry slowly started taking back power.

Jerry wants to be in charge but I don’t think that is a barrier to nfl success – so why not let him have it?

I don’t know about tremendously. The offense has made exactly one play, and that was the typical Romo and Owens make a lot out of nothing ad lib.
But the defense has stepped up twice after goofy long passes, and this Polk has made two awesome special teams plays. The offense still needs to get it going though.

Just seems like such an easy explanation
When an offense is playing poorly, it rarely matters what sequence of plays you call. He obviously passes a whole lot on first down and runs a lot on second down, but it’s not like there is no reason behind it.
by Brett Perryman on Nov 23, 2008 1:13 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
The thing is
That it hasn’t worked. I mean, the standard play sequence is incomplete on first down, run for short distance on second down, leading to a third and long. A lot of the time he isn’t putting his players in a position to win.
by jf55510 on Nov 23, 2008 1:17 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Again though
running on first down hasn’t worked when they’ve done that either. When you aren’t playing well, play calling is going to suck.
What I’d question is whether there is something more that he could do to help the offense just execute better. Develop players, somenow get the Ol to stop committing pre-snap penalties, stuff like that.

A run isn’t the only option, it was just an example. Are you telling me that there aren’t plays in the play book that are designed to get you 4 to 6 yards? Otherwise, why not just run 15-20 yard pass plays every down? The play calling has been atrocious this season and it is clear that JG is not the future for this franchise.

No
No, they should have some variety of play calling. It is all predictable. When, as if par for the course, the offense gets zero yards on first down, they are going to run if they passed on first down, and they are going to pass if they ran on first down. When they do run on second down, you can guess the play with about 80% accuracy. This is a predictable offense, its only saving grace is that they are talented and are getting points in spite of the play calling.

Huh
My theory is that the play calling is bad. Once, the first down play is run, you can guess the second down play with an extremely high degree of accuracy. Thusly, they don’t gain yards on second down leading to a third and long.

That
I am not saying that is the wrong call. The second and long pass is fine. What has been bad is the pass. Instead of trying to get yards on second to make third down manageable, they are trying to get 30 yards on second down.

Well
Romo hasn’t been that accurate on those routes. So, you are asking him to make a throw he hasn’t shown he is able to make. He has been accurate on the long balls and dump offs. On intermediate balls and most short passes, he hasn’t been accurate.
by jf55510 on Nov 23, 2008 2:07 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
so you want him to throw more dump offs?
there are no dump off routes. there is no route where all of the receivers stay about 7 yards away from the LOS.
you call the play. qb decides whether to throw it to an open receiver or throw it on a dump off. this is far from a playcalling issue

There are plenty of passes that are similar to a dump off. You have a screen, a quick out to a reciever, among others. There are plenty of underneath routes they could run but don’t.

Don't get me wrong, he was a good corner
Its just that was the summer in which the 49ers just spent money. He, on that day, became the highest paid defensive player in the league. It was like us giving all that money to ARod just to get him to sign with us.
I do agree with zywica, i really think its a system problem that clements is not good anymore. Its just he really hasn’t impressed me that much as a player anymore

That when he was with the bills, he was good. Thats what i mean by was.
Now, with the 49ers, he “isn’t that good of a CB” anymore. I got a friend who’s a 49ers fan says that hes just too passive and not aggressive anymore. I don’t know if its the system or clement in general, but hes not as good as he was with the bills.

Here's the problem Longhorn
As everyone talked about this week, SF does not press their corners. They play off and don’t jam receivers at the line. Whether Clements is a good corner or not, their technique isn’t to do what’s given Owens problems. A lot of people were predicting a big week for Owens as a result, and that happened.
We’ll have plenty of chances to find out for sure, though, with the teams they have coming up. And hopefully Romo will get healthy enough to give him a full chance.

Nice
We are 2/3 through the must win leg.
I kinda half expected this game to 45-7 Dallas or so. Our offense is always there with Garrett and with Wade taking over the defense, we can be really strong.
It’s too bad the Giants didn’t lose to Baltimore. I thought Baltimore would beat them because that team is just salty, and evidently it was a closer game than the score. Because I expect they’ll lose to AZ, and we have our head up match left to possible gain another game on them, which would leave us just 1 back hypothetically.

Not really
When Martz is going against Wades defense, we’re likely to stop them, sometimes.
When Garett is going against their defense, they dont really stop us.
Thus, we win the game.
Pretty simple.
If it’s all about talent, then I dare you to make Maurice Carthon the playcaller for the Houston Texans or New England Patriots.
They will be 5-11 the first season, period. With Tom Brady. Period. Theres no debating this.
But dont take my word for it, the proof is in what teams do. They dont care about the draft, and they do care about hotshot young OC’s. Look at the Texans who had to go out and hire A) Kubiak and B) Shanahan..
And all they looked at is young OC’s, so once again I say talk is cheap, what teams do is revealing.
