Groundhog Day with Roy Williams

…and honestly, i didn’t really think that RW2 threw anyone under da bus in THAT particular blog entry. I think the blogger tried to add a lil fuel to the fire, but overall, if what #11 said was true, then it must be — esp. with other sources also echoing the same sentiments.

Wade better “change” for this ’09 season.

Oh yeah, and this would be the perfect opportunity to throw in…

"I just do my part, beat the guy and put it on film and show the coordinator that I can run routes and win in this league.

I’d like to see this “magical” film Roy has that actually shows his dumb a** beating the DB’s because I sure as heck didn’t see much of that. Yeah, I wish he’d have been more involved too but maybe it wasn’t all the coaches or Romo’s fault. Maybe he just didn’t play very good and then with his injury he wasn’t beating very many people that I saw. Of course, he probably didn’t see that on the “film”.

it makes one wonder if he is the problem.

If you want to listen to his words, from the horse’s mouth (ass more like it) then listen to the 17 min podcast

I have never liked Galloway much but I think he asked him the right questions. And RW just doesn’t seem to get it. Galloway challenged him that this stuff should be kept in the locker room, nah he thinks its much better to crap all over his coaches in public.

He asked RW about Aikman’s comments on his sloppy route-running. And RW complains about only ever running a couple of routes. THey’re not going to give you more if you can run those few right .

If you are going to dump TO for not being a team guy, then you have to dump this guy too.

People ready to blame this latest interview on TO coming in… 5… 4… 3… 2… 1…

With so many players unhappy with the coaching staff that they must be, (as I have suspected all along), the real problem here. This is not just one guy saying this, it’s a least three major players at this point, (Romo, Owens, RW11).

I promise you, with this staff this team will do no better than 9-7 next year as well. And now 2010 looks like it may have a cap after all. Which means Dallas will be in real trouble that year as Jerry has structured so many of the recent contracts planning on 2010 being an uncapped year.

Jason Garrett is a turd.

Galloway asks RW2 why he is talking to the media when Jerry Jones has ordered a media lockdown. Has anyone heard about this?

or I"m going to have an aneurysm

..why not describe the intimate parts of your spouse’s anatomy? How about the problems your kids are having in school? Because it’s inappropriate, and it makes you look like a boorish jerk with no sense of propriety if you do.

Some things need to remain ‘in the family’ and not discussed in public. I’ve always felt the team was like a family and that these internal disputes were supposed to remain…‘internal.’

RW2 needs to hire a diction coach before he has another interview, it is not in his best interest to have direct quotes published.

Now to the reality of the situation. Garrett was supposedly the reason we stayed with pasta-arm Brad Johnson as our back-up QB. That bad decision alone probably cost us a game or two. Tashard Choice doesn’t emerge until the end of the season? Did he suddenly become good or did JG fail to realize how much he could contribute? Felix left out of an entire game? WTF? JG made some serious errors, no doubt.

However he’s got 20 million eyes to catch every mistake. I’m also willing to discount the trash talk from opposing teams who may be trying to play head games with players AND coaches.

I’m hoping/betting that JG comes back with a vengeance and shows some creativity. All of these guys, need to start talking to each other, until then they’re only going to create rather than solve problems.

It is Jan 31st, the combine is more important then Roy’s comments.

This team made so many mental errors last year there is enough blame for everyone. I am not worried the finger pointing will continue for next couple of months.

Looking forward to FA and the Draft.

When TO complains, he’s called a team destroyer and a despicable human being. “TO needs to go.” The people saying to cut TO weren’t complaining about his age or skills—just the fact he is a “distraction.” These ADD riddled players became distracted, thus causing us to finish 9-7. He did it in SF, Philly, and now here.
When Roy complains, people are wondering whether what they’re saying about Garret is correct. Roy is a wonderful human being. Just read the posts at DMN. Some posts about Jerry needing to go are peppered in. At most they tell Roy to “shut up and play.”

…In the complaints and excuses dept.

 He comes off as totally unaware that he’s part of the problem. After blaming Garrett and Romo for not getting him more touches (even though he knew the entire playbook cover to cover in 2 weeks and had no trouble running on an injured foot) he also throws the rest of the team and coaching staff under the bus by saying how much harder the Lions practices were.

Then comes this statement

During the interview, Williams said that the Cowboys needed to shut up and play at some point.

OK, well I guess that point has not yet arrived for RW2.

it seems that it has opened up the flood gates for the rest of these guys. They all got thinking, “Man, this offense blows for us WRs this year”. Besides, the 49er and first Eagles game, I thought the same thing.

This bad taste CAN NOT be in training camp next year. It’s almost getting annoying to be a fan of the team anymore. Maybe I’ll just pay attention to things on Sundays. Everything in between is just disheartening.

It seems that Wade’s coaching style has rubbed off on everybody, the coaches the players. Everybody is just clowning around in practice. His easy, loose style might have worked the first year because everybody was “walking on eggshells” with Bill Parcells, and the change relaxed the players (maybe too much) but in one year’s time all accountabilty has been lost. How do you change that? The head coach needs to change all that. Can Wade?

Also, there has been much talk of Dan Reeves being hired as a consultant. Now, Jerry will never give up his GM title, but do you think Reeves could come in as a GM consultant and have a big say in final decisions? Could he be a good GM? I think Jerry needs help.

Cuz now we have 2 wide receivers who may be better at catching passes with their mouths than their hands.

and the ball came his way—allowing Asante Samuel to jump the route and almost intercept the ball. Professionals don’t run good routes only if they think the ball is coming to them. Stop apologizing for these, how did Mel Renfro put it, “spoiled rotten kids”.

Congrats Bullet Bob!

Finally some good news we can all be proud of.

“I feel like I’m a pretty good receiver. I can catch a slant and turn it into a 20-yard gain or something, but I didn’t run a slant this past season until the Philly game.”

Well I guess when he started running slants we got even worse so lets go back to the drawing board

I was at the 2nd Giants game, saw RW2 single covered and beating his man, and not even getting a glance his way, I saw the frustration on his face at the time and wondered when he would start complaining publicly. Dont give me this bs about Aikman said this and that, have Irvin commentate the same game and you get the WR perspective of things. I dont buy Aikmans comments, and I tend to believe my own eyes whether RW2 was getting open or not, you guys can blast him, but he has a point.

Do I feel this is the right route to go about his frustrations, NO! Do I feel this team will be great next year, NO! These guys need to stop acting like individuals, and if the 0-16 Lions practice harder than our team, fellas we are in some trouble. Maybe, camp cupcake and marshmellow, are not getting it done, maybe, we do need a hard nose guy to quit messing with these primadonnas and make them act like men.

I think before he hurt his foot or got frustrated he wasnt getting the looks. Some of that was play calling(he was 3rd or 4th option) Some Romo, and Im sure, some him(giving up on routes or sloppy).

One of the reason I think TO needs to go is we need no agenda on play calling. Trying to keep someone happy or a certain number throws or just a fear iff he doesnt get the ball he will become disruptive is no way for a QB to play. TO can still play but that little bit he has lost has cost him his ability to be disruptive.
