RECAP: JJT with Norm on The Ticket...

RECAP: JJT with Norm on The Ticket...

1) Haley will likely be the Passing Game Coordinator.
2) Sparano will likely will be the Running Game Coordinator.
3) Palmer will likely help out wherever needed.
4) The Cowboys need to change their philosophy on Coordinators. This isn't the early 90's teams where they run on cruise control.
Lil' Danny is spending his money in the right places in regards to his coaching staff.
5) Jerry needs to copy Lil' Danny in this respect.
6) Jim Bates is a superb coach and he should be coaching somewhere. The problem is that no one wants to pay him 1 mil which is about what he would cost.
To keep things peachy you would have to bump up Zimmer a bit to keep him happy. Dallas should pick Bates up.
7) The players reaction to the hiring of Palmer? blah... what has he done lately?
Dallas needs to beef up the OL... two player gave up 26 of the 49 sacks. It is the biggest reason Dallas didn't make the playoffs.
8) Several of the players after the Rams game said they couldn't even set up for three step drops because they (tackles) couldn't keep the defense off of the QB.
Bentley is a player that Dallas would benefit by signing. He is young and very talented.
9) Runyan is too old to sign to a big contract. When does "the slide" begin for him?
20/20, Dallas should have signed Wall over Rivera last year. He is younger and better. He got more money, but over time it is insignificant.
Seattle is the example for the middle-rung teams. Solid drafting and player acqusition prove you can make it to the SB
