It hasn’t taken long for all the rumors and speculation to go wild soon after Rob Ryan was fired on Tuesday. Speculation is ranging from various defensive coordinator names, to scheme changes. There’s two things I believe the Cowboys are maneuvering towards: a change in scheme to the 4-3, and a change in philosophy. Jason Garrett clearly said they would be going in another
The Cowboys fired another assistant coach, and this time its defensive coordinator Rob Ryan. This is a move that I wanted to see happen, and one that needed to happen. Fact is, Ryan talked too much and couldn’t back it up, nor did he he ever elevate the defense to a top flight defense. Its funny to hear that his defense was exotic and aggressive – it was not. How many
Cowboys Nation is still waiting for some “changes” in Dallas, nothing last week, but with a full work week this week, maybe some changes will start coming. Last year Tony Sparano looked like a good fit to return, but didn’t happen, and this year the talk revolves around Norv Turner. You also have the possibility of changes on defense, Rob Ryan and the 3-4 are on
Well, Jason Garrett’s press conference just finished and he didn’t want to entertain questions about the coordinators, and pretty much defended Rob Ryan. Listening to Garrett just further confirms my fears for 2013, in which, Rob Ryan will be back for the 2013 season. Furthermore, the 3-4 will remain as the base defense, and he will be the one calling the plays –
If you need more assurances that Jason Garrett will be back in 2013, we just got the clincher tonight as Jay Glazer reported that the Saints and Sean Payton have agreed in principle to a 5yr extension. Garrett will be back in 2013 even with a loss to the Redskins. I’m hoping the Cowboys will be able to defeat the Redskins and make a playoff run; however, if we lose, there
The two worst teams in the NFC East will face off again tonight, for a battle of last place. Who will win, does anyone care at this point? The Cowboys and Eagles are mirror images of themselves, so it’ll just be a matter of which team will make the most mistakes. Both of these teams embody and define what a bad football team is, and tonight one of these teams will take another
The NFL Draft is just days away, and the Cowboys are narrowing down their options; however, several signs are pointing to Alabama safety Mark Barron being the pick. The Cowboys plan on using the pick on Barron if he’s there at #14, but there’s conversations going on about possibly moving up a slot or two to ensure the pick is theirs, but this isn’t something they
It shouldn’t be a surprise that Dave Campo will not return as the Cowboys secondary coach, something that should have happened the previous season. The Cowboys have had atrocious corner play, but this season it stuck out like a sore thumb and opposing teams knew where to hit us. Campo is out, and now comes the task to find a new secondary coach. Rob Ryan wants to bring in
The season came full circle with another disappointing loss to end the Cowboys 2011 campaign. It was Garrett’s first complete year, and 8-8 is the result. Most writers had pegged the Cowboys to finish between 9-7 and 8-8, since it was seen more of a rebuilding year in transition, looks like the pre-season consensus was correct. So, all Cowboys fan’s are still enraged
The Cowboys’ game has been flexed to Sunday Night (New Yrs Day) and no one is very confident, there’s hope, but there’s more apprehension than anything else. I hope we pull out a win in New York under the lights; however, if we lose, the Cowboys will need to move fast to pick up some quality assistants. Monday has traditionally been the day coaches have been given
When the Cowboys lose, they lose in dramatic fashion, and tonight’s game continues with that theme. The Cowboys and all of Cowboys Nation had high expectations, but the Cowboys came out and just started this game out with pure concentrated garbage play. We look like a 6-10 again, and its scary how this team let the wheels fall off so quick in the first half. At the half the
