You're going to need a personnel change if you're going to play the Seattle style of D. I think we already started that change but there's some to go. We need more hard bark on us.
Get the book "Monday Night Mayhem" it's the true inside story of MNF in its infancy, hellatious stories about Meredith in there you won't read or hear about anywhere else.
Meredith was one tough sumbitch and also had a nasty mean streak. And a cannon arm. Hard-headed too, and with Tom being every bit the hardhead, they just couldn't continue to coexist.
He never appeared to have that burning hatred of losing Aikman and Staubach had, and also every other truly great, elite QB had. He was just a yuk-yuk boy who made good and never progressed past that. Still hasn't.
You have to call it "hate" because it's actually something you can't possibly understand - objectivity. Replies in the thread pretty much lay out the case on choker Tony. No need for me to reiterate.
Austin did pretty well in Cleveland, his chronic hammy suddenly healed. Dez was in college before Romo, and Robinson never was worth a shit even with choker Tony.
Jerry "made" them, by way overpaying them.
