Remarkable respect & admiration from all who played with & and against him.
Many consider him to be one of the more glaring omissions from the Cowboys Ring of Honor.
Troy Aikman this morning on @dfwticket about rumors of tension between him and Joe Buck.
“There’s probably a time and a place for all that. I don’t know if now is the time. I don’t know if it’s hard to figure out kind of what happened. I’ll broadcast through this season and I’ll be a free agent at the end of the year and kind of see what happens. I’m looking forward to whatever the rest of this season does hold and the Super Bowl and all that and where my next landing spot may be.”
This is a significant move. Never made sense that a first-time coordinator didn’t have a veteran sounding board who understands the system in the building.
The Cowboys are hiring Mike Pettine as a defensive senior consultant. Brian Schottenheimer said Pettine is a good fit and Christian Parker is in favor of this.
Brian Schottenheimer isn’t the only HC in the NFC East to have his game management skills questioned coming out of Week 5.
New York’s John Harbaugh is the only one relatively unscathed at this point, but he doesn’t have a kicker he can trust.
Dating back to last year, the Cowboys defense has one interception in their last 12 games.
They picked off JJ McCarthy in a Week 15 loss, 34-26, to the Minnesota Vikings.
The player that got that interception? Defensive tackle Quinnen Williams.
@ktfuntweets@wellbelowavg My bad. Both. Should have said preparation/game management.
Brian Schottenheimer grew up around the game. He’s smart. But preparation, play calling & game management is a lot for someone who has been a HC for all of 22 games in his career.
Quick thoughts on unexpected Cowboys loss.
1. Dallas forces 0 turnovers & has 1 sack against undrafted rookie QB in his 1st road start. Are you kidding?
2. Dak Prescott suffers thru one of his worst games.
3. Schottenheimer game management & special teams play again suspect.
Say what you will about last year's Cowboys' defense, but you're bound to look like shit when you trade away one of the best defenders in the league on the eve of the season.
The 2026 Cowboys spent an entire offseason designing this!
Houston has no timeouts remaining. Brian Schottenheimer decides to attempt a 65-yard FG after having a 62-yarder blocked on previous possession.
Brandon Aubrey misses. Texans get short field & a FG to go into half w/ a 16-6 lead.
Game management?
Here’s one way to put the public conversation about Brian Schottenheimer’s game management on hold.
From @mikelikessports: By Adding Joey Porter Jr., the Cowboys Finally Stopped Lying To Themselves @DMagazine https://t.co/TgUoZT6m1X
Cowboys off to their best start of the season on the ground. Baltimore gets first score of the game to pull within 10-7.
How does Dallas offense respond?
Three passes to go 3-&-out to give ball back to Ravens.
