According to Brad Sham (whom I really respect), in his latest
article: "By the way, Witten is my candidate to straighten things
out when they need straightening. He will demand accountability from
teammates."
-
- I want to believe you Brad, and, as with most of the
Cowboys fans, we will continue to act like we are from the "Show Me"
state until we actually see Witten or somebody demand accountability
in public, either on or off the field.
-
- I guess we were all just
incredibly spoiled with all the times Michael Irvin was willing to
get to the point with his teammates on the sidelines. Is it such a
horrible thing to want another Cowboy to deliver a similar message
to his teammates?
Contrary to popular belief, it is not "airing your dirty laundry" .
. . not when all the fans in the stadium and on TV can see the
laundry lying around on the field. It does not matter how nicely or
angrily the demand is made, we just want to see someone do it or say
it in public.
-
- The players will be shocked how quickly many fans will
clam up and give them a little more space when they see something
happen in public, rather than reading about what might happen behind
closed doors or in team meetings. No good. We want to believe. Bring
it out. Soon, please . . . and shut us all up.
-
- Who will be brave enough to fire the
first shot? Will anyone be brave enough, creative enough, and
well-spoken enough to get the needle point across . . . without
unnecessarily drawing blood?
-
- We shall see. We always do.
