Jonathan's Rant on Dallas and Saints.

This was prior to last Sunday. (I have been traveling too much and forgot to forward the rant.)
------------------------------------------------------------------
(Saints) 1st What happened to the Offensive line. Specifically the guards. The last
part of 2009 Carl Nicks was playing like a beast now he plays closer to 245
than 345- he is not pushing people around and getting beat. Jahri Evans got
paid during the offseason and is currently living up to his 4 th rd draft
choice and not the top guard in the NFL like he was last year. Tackles are
consistent from last year but Bushrod is limited at LT. However that has not
changed from last year. The interior line is not the same.
(2nd) WR are not performing. Henderson is dropping as many as he catches
right now. Colston is being doubled and Meachem is not the same. Lance Moore
is the most reliable target at this time. All have poor separation right
now.
(3rd) Defense- Limited Takeaways and no pressure-- bad combination. Sharper
may help coming back
(4th)- No luck this year- just watch the Cards and Browns- all luck went to
them. NO excuse they lost to 2 rookie QBs.
(Final) Brees is struggling. Partially because of the line play but he is
making more mistakes on throws than last year.

Saints will be ok- may end up in the playoffs but no repeat.

(Cowboys)
Painful. I kept waiting on the talent of the team to take over and gave up
against the Vikings. Complete overhaul of the coaching staff is needed. JJ
will get it done in the off season. Funny- a few yrs ago everyone loved Wade
being laid back and not demanding like the Tuna. Now local press is
clamoring for a more demanding coaching approach.
JJ- How can the O line and Safety have limited talent and no depth? They are
cheap in the draft

(Offense) Red- is in over his head. The talent is there but the fact they can
not score TDs (prior to Romo injury) is a product of the OC not developing
from year to year

(Defense) - No discipline- Rein in some of the players . ILBs- Is Brooking
showing his age? Secondary

JJ should fire himself but will not. He will make a coaching splash in the
offseason- It will be closer to Tuna than Switzer or Campo.
Sad to see the change of the Cowboys- Tom Landry to Wade Phillips. One
person to thank for the decline. No other GM would withstand hiring the
likes of Barry, Chan, Campo, and Wade. It sounds like Matt Millen was
working for the boys behind the scenes. He had a similar run as GM.

Off the Rant

No fan of the Redskins but I like the throwback uniforms

Bravo to our expert from our Celina and Captain Shreve.

Agree with everything. JJ is a poor GM who makes continual hiring and drafting mistakes. This makes him a bad owner because he refuses to acknowledge the poor performance of his GM.

David Moore this week said it's funny to hear Jerry answer questions during the week, trying to switch between playing owner and playing GM. Each role requires a different answer.
