Jason Garrett

After a day or two of thinking about the change in Dallas.

Two things that were bugging me about the change.
1. The obvious- His scheme is great with an open field but struggles in the red zone.
He and Norv Turner are still living with a memory of Aikman's incredible accuracy and strength and forget Emmitt was truly special in the red zone.
I cannot even quantify my frustration with the offensive line play during the last 3 years.
I have to place blame at his feet for this, the o line coach and Garrett have been pitiful on protecting Romo and establishing a running game.

I am curious if Barber starting along with Roy Williams and Leonard Davis has anything to do with Wade and Jerry's delusions on what makes a player good.

2. Personality- Garrett is almost sullen on the sidelines and during interviews.
Even with Romo's boyish charm, who by the way is one of only 3 people that I have seen make Red Jesus smile during a game, sans a blow out. The grouping of Garrett as being soft with Jerry and Wade always bugged me.
Nothing in Garrett's personality traits suggest that he is anything like Wade or Jerry.

He is an over achiever in scholastics and athletics. The media people that I respect most like his resolve, even while they question some of his play calling. They all think that when he gets his chance the things that hamper Dallas like sloppy play and mistakes will stop.

Could Garrett truly be the second coming? Doubtful. But Smart people usually win in the end.
Will Jerry let Garrett clean house? Doubtful. The GM made the decisions to bring the players in.
Will Jerry trust Garrett more than his own gut feelings? Doubtful, but Jerry truly likes Red and has proven it or maybe it is Stephen that is forcing the issue with Garrett.

During the next few months, I will enjoy watching the behaviour of the players and who actually gets on the field.

Today, Roy Williams questioned the media on why he wasn't as involved in the offense. ?????
If I were Garrett, Roy UNO UNO would be an example of what I expect. He would be on the pine Sunday along any Defensive player that quits in a game. Or has missed his primary assignment on the screen pass for the last 3 games.
