Yet another head-scratching comment by the head coach of America’s team.
Wade Phillips is known as a glass half-full guy, but his attempt to sugarcoat Ken Hamlin's poor play is laughable.
I have heard Phillips say on multiple occasions that Hamlin, undoubtedly the most overpaid underachiever on the defensive side of the ball, is valuable to the Cowboy defense because he knows how to put other players on the defense in the right position before the snap.
If this were high school football then Hamlin’s “strengths” would be valued, but this is the NFL and finding a player who knows where everyone should line-up shouldn’t be too hard.
If getting players in the right place is the primary strength of a player on an NFL defense then you would have to think that player is beyond replaceable.
Whether then settling for a director; the Cowboys need to look for a player, whose strength is making plays, to replace Hamlin in the starting lineup.
Bruce Bowen's style almost as whack as his jumper
Bruce Bowen’s attempt to establish a trademark by rocking the bow tie on the ESPN set is almost as whack as his offensive arsenal when he was a player in the league.
Almost…
In Bowen’s NBA career he averaged 6 points per-game, shot 40-percent from the field despite being left wide-open most of the time, and shot 50-percent from the free throw line.
