Wade's D

Hi all, so I’ve written two fairly light bloggets concerning the Cowboys and where this blog will be going in general, and then an extremely specific over the top mathematical study into the T.O. conundrum, and some of you may be asking, what about the team Blake, WHAT ABOUT OUR COWBOYS! Well, that’s where today’s entry comes in and, barring some horrific incident, the next bunch of entries. Today’s entry will focus on my favorite side of the ball, and I’m not talking faces or laces, I’m talking the D!-fensive side of the ball. More specifically the defense and how Wade Phillips has finally taken over, and I am WAY excited about it, But hey, this blog isn’t about me, clearly I’m overly excited about the Cowboys, I’m blogging about them at an obsessive pace. This blog is about you, the reader, to inform you of things you might not have known, and maybe, just maybe, getting you as excited as me for this up coming season.
So to Wade, the man that many fingers point to when asked the question, “what’s the problem with the Cowboys?” He may have been a pushover last season, he may have lead camp cupcake in spring training, he may have failed to get our boys to a playoff birth, but he has pride too, and I think it finally kicked in this summer. Wade was brought in to coach a team that I don’t think he liked very much. The T.O. buzzsaw was hard at work cutting the team in two, we had Pacman Jones…nuff said, a defense that didn’t work to Wade’s style, and a general manager who brought players in that put fans in the stands, but not exactly points on the board, and Wade was asked to coach this team. He addressed the challenge head on, like a true professional, but was truly embarrassed last season.
--note, past this point is purely speculation, but is backed up with facts, enjoy--
This irritated him, and I believe he took these problems to Jerry and said listen, “you want me to win with your players, I tried, it’s not happening. I want these players gone, I want these players in, and I will give you a championship caliber defense.” Jerry obliged, and now to the juicy facts.
You might be wondering how I know this and how I know that these moves were Wade oriented, and I say just look at the off-season movement. THIS is when things get a little exciting. Everyone knows about the players we got rid of this season, no more Roy Williams pretending to be a safety, no more T.O. or pacman, thank the lord in heaven, and no more Tank Johnson driving around a car full of guns. All the big signings that had Jerry Jones written all over it are gone. Tell me this is not a good sign that the wicked witch is dead. Now to the really exciting part though, you want proof Wade is taking ownership in his team, look at EVERY defensive signing we’ve brought in this year, there are 5. Are you looking, researching, and studying them yet? Of course not, that’s why you’re here, well I have, and allow me to share what I have found. Here is a list of the 5 signings.
1.) DT Jonas Seawright
2.) S Gerald Sensabaugh
3.) DE Igor Olshansky
4.) LB Matt Stewart
5.) LB Keith Brooking
Number one, the DT, was acquired from the Giants; he’s a fairly new face in the NFL. The safety at number 2 is also not part of the pattern, but is a stud safety that could do well for our team, but can anyone tell me what the other 3 have in common, ANYONE?
Ok, I’ll tell you. The 3 players we’ve brought in, numbers 3-5, have all played for Wade Phillips in the past and had great seasons with him, this means Wade is bringing in players he likes and respects, this is a HUGE deal. Wade is building a defense he thinks he can win with, instead of tiptoeing around all these idiots Jerry has been bringing in. I know its just 3 moves, but 3 starters is quite a change on a defense, and the other two guys look very promising too. Wade is building a defense he wants and getting rid of the idiots who caused problems. This is Wade’s team now, no matter what you hear, and now you have the data to back it up. We’ve kicked out the troublemakers and brought in really good players that Wade wanted. Tell me this isn’t exciting. It’s like the title says, its Wade’s D-fense now, but it’s also Wade’s D-allas (see what I did there?) and you should be really excited about it. Sorry this one was a little longer, anyway its like I said, this is all speculation, but I believe its all moves in the right direction for our team, please comment and discuss, thanks guys, keep reading em and I’ll keep cranking em out. PEACE!
