Be nice if he could teach them how to play zone. Now they just stand in the zone and watch receivers catch and run
Yep a patriot team that couldn't buy a win last year, is back in the biggest game. Oh yeah, neither the patriots or seahawks have the <sarcasm> worlds greatest Socks to Jocks </sarcasm> cowboys GM.
Great show today…
Communication is gonna be a priority… Can't have breakdowns in this type of defense. So we better have smart players to run it
He doesn't know what type of defense he's gonna run
Quit whining about the Seahawks. The organization is cared about winning and Dallas fans are a bunch of morons
