Parcells Could Be Victim of First-Year Success in Dallas

The best thing about Gibbs is his ability to adjust. Whether its becasue hes down at halftime, or because he started out 0-5. Thats what will make the difference this yera. Everyone learned Spurriers system by week 3, and it was all down hill from there.

I dont think we should be worry about how good or bad the cowgirls are going to be. Regardless of how bad they are they seem to beat us. Granted I hope they lose every game. We just need to find a way to defeat those $@#$@. Can't wait untill Sept 27 to find out.
:dallas: :dallas:

I just don't see the Cowboys even duplictaing last season. That offense is TERRIBLE. And it's tough to repeat a great defense. I see a small fall in their defense, especially since both the Eagles and SKins have much better offenses. Their offense still blows. Carter sucks, if they got a Warner, or Collins, then I'd be more inclined to say they could duplicate last season, but I just don't see it in a division that is more than likely the toughest in the NFL.

Well who would of thought that they would make the playoff last year? Not me, but I lost that bet-who would make the playoffs next cowgirls or Redskins. You just never know what star will bloom next. On paper they werent good last year either.

I never thought the Cowboys would make it last year but they did they had some lucky breaks but both ourselves and the Giants return games were gimmies . Spurrier had no answear to 7,8 and even 9 man blitzes from one week to the next but one thing I rember about Gibbs he was the king of the half time adjusments.

No one team can be written off in May but I cannot see how the boys got better where as the Eages did we did and to an extenct even the Giants did .

Everyone learned Spurriers system by week 3 Problem is no one learned it at all yet. It's said it takes 3 years to get a system into place, Spurrier's system was fairly complicated, it had it's problems, but I'm not sure the players totally understood his system. There's no excuse for O linemen blocking the wrong guys, that's on Helton.

And now no one will get the chance to see if it ever would have worked. I'm just glad we aren't participating in the coach Spurrier experiment anymore! (Actually, Daseal, I think Spurrier would have figured it out eventually. It killed him to have the least experienced coaching staff around him. But enough about OBC. Gibbs has none of his problems, and is also a gold-plated football genius.)

Never undersetimate a Parcells coached team. He finds ways to win, and to get the best out of his players and coaches. They have the #1 ranked D. And they don't need Carter to win them games, really; rather, he just can't lose them. Fortunately, Gibbs will not underestimate Parcells, and the color blue makes him sick.

The Cowgirls will still be good, especially on defense, but with Gibbs back and Coughlin in NY, the division just got a lot tougher. Parcells is good, but they will be very lucky to go 10-6 again, let alone better.
I expect a tight 3-team race between the Skins, Cows, and Eagles....with the Skins pulling it out, of course!

Kinda hard to learn a system when there isn't a playbook, LOL

Helton wasn't a great line coach but it all can't fall on him. Spurrier's system just wasn't designed to properly block against an NFL defense. NFL defensive coordinators had that offense figured out in no time. I can only imagine the laughter coming from the opposing team filmroom as they gameplanned for the fun 'n' gun.

correct me if I'm wrong but Spurrier set it up so every coach took care of their portion of the game plan. IE Helton setup the blocking schemes, D coordinator did all the D schemes. He did the Offense, etc. Which means when you'd see guys blocking the same guy it was on Helton, not Spurrier. Either way, I think it takes time to learn. His offense clicked a few times last year, and it did wonders, but we couldn't get it on a consistant basis.

No doubt it needed tweaking, but he was starting to come around.
