Training camp is where we start the "process"

Its apparent you don't understand what's being built here.

False hope is all that is being built.

Translation: Tony Romo is no Bill Bates

It needed translation? The fact that the team has done just as well with Romo out?

Perhaps we need a football educator thread to explian the "process" so that you will understand better

Anyone listening to this pc? Garrett getting coaching tips from Billie Jean King.

You just can't make this shit up.

I think I've figured out why Wade Wilson is so beloved by Jerry.

He was just on the Ticket and his voice sounds exactly like Stephen's.

Miles Austn pull a hamstring yet?

Midswat · Jul 25, 2014

Has Miles signed with anyone yet?

Midswat · Jul 25, 2014

I didn't understand the Billie Jean King references.

And I don't know who BJK is.

Browns

....and I just as this morning that Pettine said that Miles is their best receiver showing some good stuff in training camp. On another Browns note: they are a team committing to running the ball but their drecription of what that means is not just calling running plays here and there, but creatively using stretch plays and mixing zone blocking looks. They also have Kyle Shannahan saying that his plays need to be executed one way- his way - and he is teaching all new plays right now that are carefully orchestrated.

So to sum up the implied bitterness: a team with less talent than the Cowboys gets better scheming, teaching, strategy, and overall effort to improve the team from the will of its head coach: to supply the team with what it takes to change what was not working before.

And I just bet you the hamstring "problem" is totally gone. I am convinced Austin was just a malingerer for the last two years in Dallas at least, for reasons only he knows.

Probably just didn't want to play with that choker Romo, AMIRITE?

(But really if Miles is their best WR I think that means they don't have much at WR... And I liked MA when he was here.)

Miles did nothing last year even after his hammies were completely healed. He's on the decline.

Austin wasn't the only malingerer, and I suspect there's another reason it happens in Dallas that is totally unrelated to whoever is playing QB.

He started the first game against the Giants with 10 catches and fell off the map.

I think the Browns have the second worst WR core in the NFL. (if Gordon is gone of course)

What is your theory? (Serious question.)

I really don't have one but I suspect it's got to do with lack of respect for the coaching.

Maybe the whole sense of entitlement in Dallas and how easy it is to get treated like a rock star once you got that star on your helmet.

Or, once you get that big contract, for some.

It all ultimately comes from the very top.
