I'm with Turk on this, I don't think you can put this on Wade. He isn't playing the game. I was watching some highlights this morning and on run plays the Cowboys line was so high in their pads I thought they partied with Mike Vick before the game. That's some of the worst pad level you'll ever see, and these guys are pros. On a run play off right guard the left tackle stood up at the snap, and so did the left guard. That's high school.
This falls on Jerry Jones. It's a situation he created. A passing remark made by one of the ex players on Countdown really hit me like a bolt out of the blue. Jerry creates all this atmosphere, it's all up here with his team, up in the stratosphere. It's the Cowboys. America's Team in all their glory and that's how he markets it. But football is won down low, in the trenches, in the dirt. It's an intriguing metaphor, and strangely it also show up on tape.
