Well, I for one am happy, I think Jerry Jones grasp the big picture this time and went with someone besides a Dave Campo coach! Wade, come on down brother, I feel good about this. But first things first, Jason Garrett? Where did he come from? I know people, he backed up Troy and played in one of the best thanksgiving games i've seen, but coaching?
Well, guess we'll see on that one, maybe he'll fit in as QB coach, but surely not offensive coordinator. I for one sure thought Norv was going to get this one, but good call Jerry, good call!!!!!
So, any guesses who will be hired next? I'd love to see them steal a quality defensive coordinator from someone, but Wade is defense minded, look how well he groomed San Diego's defense, nuff said,huh!
Man I feel like a kid in a candy store, it's a great feeling for the first time since they hired Parcells as the head coach, I know eeryone read all the nonsense about Parcells left because of Owens, BLAH BLAH BLAH! Owens was one of the top recievers this season, if i'm not mistakn led the league in Td's?!?!?!?!?!?! broken hand, hurt back, the incident with the pills, nothing kept my boy down, the press were hound dogs sniffin for blood on his #### and he showed them!
How many people think we have the nucleus of a championship team? I do, if Glen comes back, we have Owens, The defense justneeds fine tuned, Romo, Jones.............err well, that's a sore spot with me, Jones I think needs to go and lets run with barber. Little story for ya, I was in a paying fantasy league this season, get in it every year, bunch of local hillbillies I call friends, but they're bad #### people! they do their homework, they're in 4 leagues to my 1, and at $50 to $100 a pop, my broke #### can afford onle 3 of them.....lol but anyways back to my story, I am a true Cowboys fan people, I know I get emails from people claiming to be true blue, bleeding silver and all that, but i'm with em thick and thin, win or lose and I know alot ofothers out there are too, the losses account for my eXcuses to drink alittle more bud light each week >:) but in the yearly draft I make it a point to draft atleast 1 cowboys player, just to show the bastages that if i'm to lose, i'm goin down with atleast one of the boys on my roster.
well, this year it bit me in the arse, AND IT HURT ALL THE WAY TO MYBILLFOLD(wife's over on the couch makin little comments, she had plans for some of the money..lol) . This was suppose to be my year,i'd done my homework, 4 fantasy football magazines later, pages ripped out and spread across the floor, I knew who I wanted and How I wanted it, just had t get lucky and get a good number in the draft., well I did, drafted 4th, that's a good number in the draft, sucks it's past johnson and alexander and L.T but hey 4th "gonna get me some Julius Jones!" Now I know what you;re thinkin, JULIUS JONES? I had a good feeling about him, just knew he was gonna bust out just knew the dallas offensive line was gonna protect and block and.................... you know the rest. A 2 running back system. But that's still O.K , cause the season before I got burned with Jamal Lewis and was sure as hell not taking him, even if he was the last player left and i was the last owner picking, AND I DIDNT TAKE HIM..........I TOOK MARION BARBER III and Ladell Betts. Now, if you've read this far, you're waiting for me to tell you something like I traded Jones and got corey Dillon in return, NOPE I rode the horse al the way down.....................down to 5TH FRICKIN PLACE! How you say? well I made the playoffs, not good enough to get my $50 back, but in the top 6 owners. First round, really smoked my opponentlike a good cigar(3rd ranked team by the way), 2nd round decided I would get cocky and bench Barber and go with Sammy Morris.............heh yeah, I got kinda desperate and needed a quick fix, see Marion Barber posted the BIG ZERO on points the week before, and Betts was injured, so I read up on yahoo, took the experts polls and............BARBER FREAKIN SCORED LIKE 24 POINTS AND I LOST THUS KICKING ME OUT OF THE LEAGUE MONEY, but wait, you ask what this has to do with Jones? Jones posted a whopping 4 points, so between my 2 Cowboys starters, I got 4 points.
Well, it's had a LASTING effect, I no longer think of Julius Jones as a Cowboys player with potential to stick around, in fact, Parcells didn't either in his last NFL draft, he tried to get ANY team to trade a pick for JONES, and noone would, 1,000 yard rusher you say, I say rubbish, I think it was a fluke and next season Jones will be on the hot seat, we need $1300 or 1500 yards from someone with his potential, but then again it runs in the family doesn't it :)
Thomas Jones did do well in the superbowl rushing 15 times for 112 yards no TD's but did have 1 52 yard run, think Julius Jones will ever do that, WE'LL SEE.................................
