The Jason Garrett Era Begins

    Thursday Jason Garrett was introduced 
as the newest Head Coach of the Dallas
Cowboys. He is the seventh coach hired
by Jerry Jones since he bought the team
22 years ago. Unlike his predecessors, the
Garrett family is linked with this team. Jason's
father is in the scouting department of the
Cowboys, and his two brothers work in the
Valley Ranch complex where the team trains
on a daily basis. Thursday Jerry Jones said 
the team would be Garrett's responsibility. The
new coach will have total charge over who 
plays for the team and who will be on his coaching
staff. It sounds good now, but Jones had that
biological itch to be part of the coaching staff and
that led to Jimmy Johnson's demise. With the college
draft just around the corner, you must remember 
it is Jones who likes to dominate the spotlight on draft
day. When it comes down to making some important
choices for the 2011 season, here is my list of some of
the players that should NOT be on the team. 
1. Roy Williams- A perfect example of a good college player
that never panned out in the pro game. Simply a wash-out that Detroit traded to Dallas.

2. Marion Barber- A running back whose time has passed. He does not perform like he did three years ago. Garrett's dress code has already gotten Barber in the doghouse.
3. Alex Barron- This offensive tackle was almost unheard of this year despite the Cowboys needing early season help on the offensive line.
4. Keith Brooking- A great fill-in linebacker but nobody outruns Father Time. Brooking played longer than expected but it is time to go.
5.Tashard Choice- Showed a lot of improvement over 2009 but needs to find a fresh start with another team. Might be a
back-up player but never a regular down player.
6. Alan Ball- To call this guy a pro safety is a gross misstatement. He was beaten more times than a snare drum.
7. Marc Colombo- Average offensive tackle but injuries are become more often and he has slowed down considerably.
8. Marcus Spears- The left side defensive end is compared with the right side and that is DeMarcus Ware. No comparison!
9. Igor Olshansky- Another defensive end that gets lost in the game, but looks good on the practice field.
10. Leonard Davis- A gigantic offensive guard that just does not play up to his size. Has a problem moving to the right snap count and often penalized. 
11. The majority of the defensive secondary. They don't even look for the ball until the opponents receiver has it in their grasp.
  Just some of the problems facing new coach Jason Garrett. He has a big task ahead of him, but I believe he is the man for the job. 2011 is a long way off for you and I, but 2011 begins today for Garrett. Get to work, Jason!
