Jason Witten Color Rush Jersey

[linchao]

Cowboys fans were absolutely livid with Randy Gregory on Thursday night and many wanted him out of the game. Granted Deonte Thompson Color Rush Jersey , that was emotion talking in the heat of the moment, but it was extremely frustrating to watch Gregory not once, not twice, but three times, commit a costly penalty that gave the New Orleans Saints a new set of downs. You know that old saying, “fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.” Well, how many times was Gregory going to have to mess up for head coach Jason Garrett to take him out of the game?The uniqueness of Garrett (some prefer the word “stubbornness”) is that he doesn’t make decisions based on emotion. It’s certain he wasn’t very pleased with his young defensive end, but Garrett doesn’t discipline his players by putting them in a timeout. They’re grown men. There’s a good chance they know what they did wrong. The key is putting it behind you and focusing on what you need to do next. Don’t stew https://www.dallascowboysfanshop.com/Sean-Lee-Jersey , don’t dwell, be your best and be it right now. Here is what Garrett said about the ordeal.The best thing for him to do is forget about it and go out and make the next play. And you have to give Gregory credit as he did exactly that. He was disruptive all night. If it wasn’t for the penalties, we’d be talking about how great he played.But the penalties happened and they happened again and again. Gregory got called for a facemask penalty (15 yards + automatic first down), roughing the punter (15 yards + automatic first down), and offsides (5 yards + nullifying a sack/strip that would have given the Cowboys the ball). Gregory single-handedly gave the Saints first downs or new life three different times in the game. Had it not been for an out-of-this-world performance by the Cowboys defense, these mistakes could have easily cost them the game.Gregory has been called for six penalties this season, which is the most defensive penalties of anyone on the team. Besides the three penalties he had against the Saints, he’s also been called for illegal use of the hands twice as well as an unnecessary roughness penalty when he shoved a Carolina player after the play was over (it gave the Panthers a free three points from a field goal). What’s even more astonishing is that he’s done that much damage in just 38% of the defensive snaps. 13 defensive players have logged more reps than him, yet he’s committed the most defensive penalties.Gregory is a talented player, but one has to wonder what is going on between the ears with all the mistakes even though he is an intelligent guy.Jerry Jones would reiterate Garrett’s statements on continuing to give him chances.When you take a close look at Gregory’s penalties, it’s not as blatantly negligent as originally thought. On the facemask play Tyron Smith Jersey , Gregory was slapping with his hands, reaching for Drew Brees. While he wasn’t mindful of where his hands were going, it also didn’t help that he was being held on the play.Gregory’s active hands helped knock the football away from Brees on an earlier play in the game so while he needs to work harder to control his aggression, the intensity he’s playing with is extremely valuable. In fact, DeMarcus Lawrence was initially credited with a sack on the Brees fumble, but it was Gregory that got there first and knocked the ball loose from his hand.On the roughing the punter penalty, the blocker went low to cut him and Gregory jumped over him. While his momentum was still carrying him towards the punter, he simply lost his balance and fell. Again, better body control would have helped, but this didn’t look like one of those times where he was trying to do too much and was careless.And finally, the offsides penalty was so ticky-tacky. I’m not going to say it was terrible call Jason Witten Color Rush Jersey , but let’s be honest - it was a terrible call. Players line up real close to the line of scrimmage all the time, and in some cases - they’re in the neutral zone and nothing is called. The only time a flag is ever thrown in these instances is when it’s blatantly obvious the player is offsides. This most certainly was not one of those times. In fact, if you look closely - he’s not offsides. Pro Football Talk agrees as they explain why he actually wasn’t lined up in the neutral zone.So I’m not even going to count this one against him. The Cowboys coaches weren’t very happy on the sidelines, but it wasn’t directed at Gregory. They were angry with the officials.Gregory has had some mental mistakes this season, that much we know. He’s also coming back to a game he hasn’t played in a long while. He’s going to mess up, but the key is whether or not he learns from them and eliminate some of these errors or if he’s going to play with a reckless abandonment. The Cowboys defensive line had one of their best pass rushing games of the year, even if they only got credit for a two sacks (Brees is the least sacked quarterback in the league this season), and Randy Gregory is a big part of that. Over the last couple of months, Gregory's game has really come together when you remove the penalties. Check out his stats compared to DeMarcus Lawrence over each player’s last seven games played:Their stats at getting to the QB and disrupting plays in the backfield are pretty similar. Gregory is quietly establishing himself as a pass-rushing bookend for Lawrence. In the New Orleans game, an early pass rush from Gregory (and Tyrone Crawford) was responsible for a bad pass from Drew Brees that Jourdan Lewis almost intercepted. Gregory is affecting football games, and not just in a bad way with penalties. Should Garrett punish Gregory and take some of his snaps away to teach him a lesson? While I had my head-shaking moments on Thursday night https://www.dallascowboysfanshop.com/Demarcus-Lawrence-Jersey , I’m over it now and glad to see 94 lining up at right defensive end. In the aftermath of a Saints-Cowboys game during which the home team stymied one of the most potent offensive in football, suspicions have emerged in connection with images showing a person in Cowboys gear with a headset (and apparently a cell phone) on the New Orleans sideline. And, yes, the Saints are suspicious.The Cowboys have explained the issue in this way: “It鈥檚 a member of the game day entertainment staff.聽 He stands next to the ‘green hat’ who is the network TV person who works with the officials to coordinate TV timeouts. 聽His job is to communicate to our internal video board people when a TV time out is coming and how much time is left in that timeout as they come out of a break.聽 He does not stand in the team bench area.聽 They stand just outside the bench area on that side of the field.”The image that was tweeted shows the person close to Saints coach Sean Payton, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that the person was in the bench area. The Cowboys insist that the employee would never enter the bench area, toward the middle of the sideline.Whether the Cowboys’ explanation satisfies the Saints’ suspicions remains to be seen. If the Cowboys were going to be engaged in any type of spy operation, it definitely would be unusual for the guy to be wearing a polo shirt bearing the Cowboys logo.The NFL has not responded to a request for comment regarding the situation.A similar incident occurred in 2015, when the Jets instigated a sideline interrogation of Kraft Sports employees during a game against the Patriots. Those employees were also responsible for in-stadium entertainment, and one was responsible for providing batteries to the referee’s wireless microphone.The easiest way to avoid these situations would be to require the employees of a given team to do whatever they have to do from the sideline of the team they work for. That would completely eliminate any possible allegations of shenanigans.
