The Cow Boys

All throughout the summer and prior to the beginning of the NFL season, all the so-called experts from the NFL Network and all the other affiliates were embracing the Dallas Cowboys. Many of these gurus actually were committed to the Dallas Cowboys as potential if not a sure fire Super Bowl team. In the meantime, what has happened. After 8 games, the Cowboys might just be the Dallas Cows. Many think they are the worst team in the NFL at the halfway juncture. The team is playing with no sense of urgency, there not playing as a team, and basically the Cowboy players looked like they just flat out quit on Coach Wade Phillips. Can Jason Garrett rescue the Cowboys from the damage that has been done? We will see in the next 8 contests but after watching them play, it looks like the Cowboys as a unit are out of shape and need a conditioning program. The players look and play tired. There is no enthusiasm. There is no urgency to win. Instead of blaming the coaches, could this all fall back on owner Jerry Jones. Of all the owners in professional sports, 68 year old Jerry Jones probably is the most involved with his team. Jones not only owns the Cowboys but he is the General Manager. He is heavily involved in the team's draft and dad-to-day operations. Could he be the first owner to fire himself? If the Cowboys go 2 and 14, should Jones let himself go as General Manager. This could be a first in Sports History. If he hires a coach like Bill Cowher, a guy like Cowher may demand he has total control of the team. We will see what happens in January.
