Stef: "Own it... Learn from it... Move past it."
-
I (fortunately) wasn't able to watch this one, but I'm glad coach said it this way. Got smoked by a top 3 team, no doubt about it. But at the same time, that's what happens to growing teams who are learning to play with the big dogs of the NFL. Who knows how the rest of the year will play out, but all I know is we have a great shot to be 5-2 after Sunday, and have three winnable games after that as well. Even assuming we drop one of those, 7-3 with two of those losses being the Ravens and Steelers is damn fine to me.
Still plenty of time to get them game two, both at home. I'm sure as shit happy to be on this ride compared to previous years.

Since it's kind of a HC thread...
Just wanted to alert the McCarthyites that he's not playing all that well in Big D...
McCarthy wants Cowboys to 'handle things as men,' not complain to media
Jack Browne 13 hrs ago
The Dallas Cowboys were blown out by the Arizona Cardinals in prime time on Monday, and the loss seemingly sparked a revolt.
Anonymous Cowboys players called out the coaching staff for its lack of preparation and in-game adjustments. Head coach Mike McCarthy responded to the news Tuesday, saying he wishes his players would bring their issues to him rather than the media.

In my work experience you approach superiors who seem to be approachable.
Others... not so much.
Had one where the message was clear to all subordinates... Honesty is not the best policy.
Fortunately had many more who were approachable as could be... some others did not find approachable, but I did. Sometimes it's in "the approach".

Well, that's a helluvalot better than, "If you don't wear brown and orange, you don't matter."

And what else should you do ? Wallow in it for weeks ?
Next. Focus on going to 5-2.
GO BUCKEYES, BROWNS, INDIANS, CAVS, YSU, NAVY and yes I like ND! -

To build on that.. I'd bet money that multiple Dallas players went to the coaching staff already, both 1:1 and during position group meetings... and were in every case told to s2 - sit down and shut up.
The players didn't feel their issues were acknowledged and addressed.. and what has happened is an expected result of McCarthy's inconsiderate "style".
I'm glad he's not in Cleveland right now.. Stef's not perfect, but better than McCarthy.

Hmmmm...two years two coaching regimes and the players pointing fingers at the coaches each year.
Maybe it is time some of the players look in the mirror.

The relevant leadership quote from Andy Stanley -- Leaders who don't listen eventually find themselves surrounded by people with nothing to say.
Also, regarding the need to create a clear offensive structure and call plays accordingly -- Organizations don't rise to the level of their goals, they fall to the level of their systems.

Right. After you own it and learn from it, you move past it.
According to Donte Whitner on the Bull & Fox show today, Baker's got stuff to learn from that game though. He said that Baker's not understanding what the D is actually doing. He's going to the wrong place with the ball and that he should be identifying who's got single coverage and go THERE with the ball.

I have a better saying. Leaders who don't listen will eventually be surrounded by parrots who reflect back everything you say and nothing more.

Those reactions are what 95 percent of coaches give you. No need to interview coaches or players.

It's interesting that you changed from the third person to the second person in that sentence... Very interesting.
