Phillips’ son to coach special teams

GameSetMatch — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 18:05:09 +0000

Cowboys’ special teams coach Joe DeCamillis has gone through a difficult year physically.

Sunday night, DeCamillis underwent an appendectomy at a Virginia hospital, about 90 minutes before kickoff between the Cowboys and the Redskins.

DeCamillis experienced pain on Sunday and then was rushed to the hospital. He will not coach in Sunday’s game. DeCamillis’ status for the rest of the season is uncertain. The Cowboys leave for Dallas after the game and it’s not determined if DeCamillis will be on the team charter.

Wes Phillips, head coach Wade Phillips’ son, will take over the special teams duties. Other coaches will also help Wes Phillips.

Dallas Cowboys lose way without stars in 17-7 loss

GameSetMatch — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 19:30:57 +0000

What we witnessed Sunday at Lambeau Field occasionally happens when you have a collection of role players at running back and receiver.

This is not a slam. Nor is it meant to be disrespectful. It’s reality. Deal with it.

This spread-the-ball-around offense and its Kumbaya-effect in the locker room is wonderful in theory because it keeps everyone happy since they’re involved in the offense.

A lot of times, especially in today’s parity-driven NFL, you can win with that approach.

Cowboys bury past, McNabb

GameSetMatch — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 18:33:08 +0000

It wouldn’t be wise to make any sweeping judgments on the Dallas Cowboys until their cruelest month arrives in December, but it’s fair to say they took an important step at the Linc on Sunday night. They returned to the site of one of the most regrettable performances in franchise history and seized control of first place in the NFC East with a 20-16 win over the Philadelphia Eagles.

Winners of four consecutive games, the 6-2 Cowboys will head to Green Bay next Sunday as one of the hottest teams in the league. And last season’s 44-6 loss at the Linc could become a distant memory.

“We came out here and laid an egg,” said inside linebacker Bradie James of last December’s loss. “I won’t ever forget that, but we were able to put that behind us and move forward today. Ever since that Kansas City game [a 26-20 Dallas OT victory Oct. 11], it’s skyrocketed for us.”

Romo, Williams agree work is required

GameSetMatch — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 19:57:14 +0000

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo can still escape a collapsing pocket with greater ease than the seemingly always swirling winds of controversy at Valley Ranch.

Romo and the rolling Cowboys head into Sunday night’s showdown at Philadelphia, not so much hyping their chances of taking over divisional supremacy, but stamping out another locker-room brush fire.

On Wednesday, struggling receiver Roy Williams continued his weekly discourse into his and Romo’s bizarre disconnect. Speaking openly and not accusatorily, Williams said that Romo throws more accurately to his other receivers, one reason why Williams has just 14 catches in six games.

On Thursday, Romo, instead of fielding questions about his three-game streak with eight touchdowns and no interceptions, his excellent judgment of late or the team’s evolving offensive diversity, defended Williams as a hard worker and someone who cares, and then got defensive, attempting to quash any notion of a rift.

The Dallas Cowboys need to get serious about this season

GameSetMatch — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 20:14:57 +0000

Wade Phillips said that the Cowboys looked so crisp in practice Thursday before their bye weekend, they looked like they were preparing for a playoff game.

Beyond the fact that Coach Wade must have a memory like an elephant, I’m going to take it on faith that he doesn’t mean they all bolted for Cabo on Friday ….

Ba da boom!

Oh, and I see where Phillips and Tiger Woods chatted about leadership recently.

Talk about your one-sided conversations …

Ba da boom!

Hey! I’ve got a million of ’em, I’m here all week and don’t forget to tip your friendly waitresses on the way out.

Dallas Cowboys’ Brooking has a direct approach

rsanrel — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 19:05:03 +0000

Keith Brooking, consummate combatant on the field and refreshingly frank orator off it, has quickly provided stability at a position that lacked it and accountability in a locker room that needed it

The Dallas Cowboys inside linebacker spent the first 11 seasons of his career playing for the Atlanta Falcons. Those in the media who covered him most described the five-time Pro Bowler as the conscience of the defense, switching positions for the good of the team, consistently leading the unit in tackles and speaking up when others walked away in tough times.

“He just came in and his only thing he wanted was to win and just be a team,” Cowboys nose tackle Jay Ratliff said. “And who can’t respect that?”

Coming out of the bye week, the Cowboys face another earlier-than-expected must-win scenario Sunday against Brooking’s old team, the Falcons, a rising NFC contender.

“I’d be lying if I told you I didn’t have it circled on my calendar since I signed here,” Brooking said. “I’m an emotional guy so I have to tame my emotions. This game is not about me, it’s about us winning. Do I want to win this game really bad? Yes. But, it’s about winning and going to 4-2.”

Playing at home for the first time since Sept. 28, the Cowboys can’t afford to drop to 3-3 with a loss — and 1-2 at their supposedly inspirational palatial new home. Defeat would ignite new rounds of criticism and derision, and questions of impending divisiveness.

Yes, Brooking came to Dallas well aware of last season’s fallout. It’s a big reason why the Cowboys wanted him. Brooking played nine seasons under special teams coach Joe DeCamillis and spent time under Wade Phillips when he was defensive coordinator and then head coach of the Falcons.

Brooking, without hesitation, proclaimed locker-room issues won’t split these Cowboys.
