Somebody on the team needs to say it. But Ellis’ comments will be dismissed internally as just more grumbling because of his past. The team is playing fractured and it starts at the top. Too many chefs in this kitchen and nobody being held accountable.

Wade’s reaction to adversity (Pre M.A.S.H. unit) seems to be wishing it will go away and get better on its own. Now with all the injuries and a road trip to St. Louis, Wade’s metal is about to get tested unlike ever before. Going 4-5 into the Bye week may prompt Jerra to take action.

Special attention has to be placed on the O-line and Special Teams play. We don’t need Brad getting pummeled too. And take the leash of the Defense, let them play like we have nothing to lose….bring the house and take some chances. The secondary is getting any help by letting the QB stand back there all day. The offense (led by Red Jesus) can stop getting cute and stick to a running game that opens up plays for T.O. Brad can get him the ball, he leads the receiver better on crossing routes and only needs a couple deep balls to keep the defense from stacking the line.

I’m excited to see if Wade is up to the challenge of managing this situation or if the end of the Phillips era is drawing near.

I don’t think he believes the locker room is “fractured.” Those were the reporters words, not Ellis’. I think that’s what he’s doing right now, stepping up and trying to be a leader. He made a fair point that it’s hard to tell guys they aren’t playing well when they’re winning, and he thinks maybe they’ll listen to him now.

I think he’s doing his job as a captain, and saying what many of us have been saying all year – the Cowboys are not playing to the best of their ability. He wasn’t complaining about not getting to rush the passer more, he said that there have been situations that have prevented that.

Herrin seems to be putting words in his mouth and trying to stir up a story. He says that Ellis says the locker room is fractured, and is calling out the top of the organization as well as it’s players, but he doesn’t provide any quotes. He took the same quotes as the other article and spun it so it sounded like Ellis was blasting the organization, when he’s actually just saying that they need to play better.

Ellis actually makes a great point that we saw on this board: when the team’s winning, people don’t want to hear that they’re not playing well. Now that they’ve lost a couple, he hopes that they’ll start listening. I agree with him 100% and I think it’s clear why he was selected as a captain. Way to go, Greg!

That’s what it clearly sounds like. As much as I hate when he complains, I’m happy this time he spoke out, because right now the coaches are to blame for some of this.

I absolutely think he is important to the team’s success and that he is one of the top quarterbacks in the NFL. But if he needs to play better, then it wasn’t silly to say he has struggled. If he wasn’t, he wouldn’t need to play better.

Pac doesn’t seem to understand what NO means. If that’s the case, suspend him then ban him. But McDonald’s won’t hire him after he screws up the next time. Because it’s not matter of IF anymore.

They can’t alcohol test him at this point, and most eyewitnesses would not be reliable as they were possibly drinking themselves, and unless he was drinking bottled beer, he can just say he was drinking something else.

he is clearly not the same player as last season. He is almost a non factor in most of these games. I don’t see the intensity, power and drive as last year. I think he knows this is it for him after the season.

But I don’t interpret it that way from those articles. Maybe I haven’t seen all of the quotes. Or, I could just be wrong. Either way, I think what he’s saying is spot on, and am happy to see that Wade agrees. Of course, we’ve heard that they were going to fix things before, and they’re still not fixed, so we’ll see.

Maybe he feels that he’s not getting heard, so he had to take it to the media.

but nobody was getting the idea. Sometimes you have to call people out in public so they get the idea. Your boy Parcells did it all the time. It can be effective method at times.

And whatever you think of Ellis, he has been with this organization for a long time and is a leader. I bet you the coaches actually care about what he says and takes it to heart. And after watching the Redskins game the coaching staff needed calling out.

Pacrat got burned by Fitzy just as much as Henry got burned, so whats the difference.

Newman will be back be November, he just needed time to heal.

If Eatman had his way we would have traded Barber and half our picks for McFadden. He is a good objective reporter, but he needs to keep his prognostications and his personal ideas to himself.

we get our draft picks back nd now the rooks can get some valuable PT. Pacrat would have probably messed up again at some point, better now than later.

and that is really all that matters.

With Brad, hey, we’ll be lucky to just win the game. I say squeek by this game and pray for an early return by Tony and the Cat.
