Sorry if I get a little long winded here but I have to in order to get this point across. After watching the Cowboys game and seeing Dez Bryant blow up on the sidelines, I think I realized what the REAL problem with this regime is... Jeff Ireland (a product of B. Parcells) has created a culture where players don't feel like they are a part of something. He's created an atmosphere where players approach the game as a Business. They are only invested in it for their own personal gains. players don't feel like it's their team, so they don't bring that passion and dedication that you need to be successful. Now let me explain. This regime does not want players with the passion of Dez Bryant. They don't want players on the team that will openly question what the hell the coaches are doing. The one's that did..... Got CUT or TRADED! B. Marshall.... Gone, the entire "Leadership Council" GONE! All the council was saying is that "Coach, this is OUR locker room, before we go getting rid of players that we feel can help us win, why not give us a chance as LEADERS and MEN, to deal with the situation internally" What did Philbin and Jeffy boy do?? Got Rid of them all. When you treat players like they are beneath you, and that they have no say so in what goes on with the team.... you create a very selfish environment. Players start playing less for the team and more for themselves. They do just enough to stay on the team an collect a paycheck but not much extra. Channing Crowder said it on the radio the other day, he said that guys were content with playing for a paycheck. They show up to all the mandatory stuff, play the game, collect their check and go home. No passion, NO sense of belonging to something greater, a team, a family. I want players like Dez Bryant on my team. Players that are man enough to go to Mike Sherman when we were very successful running the ball in one half and abandoned it in the second half and say "HEY COACH.. WTF???" I want players like T. Brady that will openly YELL at a WR for running the wrong route or dropping a pass. I WANT THOSE PLAYERS ON MY TEAM, I NEED THOSE PLAYERS ON MY TEAM. Name me one player on this current team that fits that description? Who will openly yell at a player for screwing up? Who will go to a coach on the sideline and say hey man WTH are we doing?? Tannehill wont do it, Ellerbe won't do it, Wallace won't do it, Hartline? NOPE. Maybe Richie Incognito, but I'm not sure. Until we fix this... we will never be good.
