innovativefx Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 It seems like every player traded to Oakland ends up with some issues - Hall is hurt now - but may be ready for regular season.http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/foot...tml?eref=si_nfl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Donaldson Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I glad Hall is gone.....Even though he has talent and swagger but his attitude is ****...and to add i think just about every receiver he covered last year had a good game..

BlacksburgHokie Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Yeah...they haven't seemed to figure out yet that when you trade for or draft a player who is in it for themself, they almost always stay in it for themselves once they're there. Putting a bunch of selfish and me-first players together, no matter how talented they are, isn't a recipe for success... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

innovativefx Posted August 20, 2008 Author Share Posted August 20, 2008 Yeah - i am glad he is gone... I'm sure Oakland is just used to this sort of player though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodney Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Yeah - i am glad he is gone... I'm sure Oakland is just used to this sort of player thoughI think Dallas is attempting of stealing that image away from Oakland......so far, they are doing a good job of doing that. Thank gosh they have Romo at QB, otherwise they would be attempting to sign Vick once he gets out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ki46dinah Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Justin Griffith moved to Oakland...and he doesn't have issues. He is one of the few though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodney Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 and somehow, they still manage to find themselves in the post season....image doesnt matter when you are winning.Hmmmmm.....and how far have they been going in the playoff's with all of that talent? The difference is...when you are at Dallas's level, making the playoffs is expected....not getting at least to the NFC championship is a failure. So...post season to them is being where they are supposed to be...no big deal....eventually coaches get fired for not winning in the post season.

WHAT'S OUR EXCUSE? IF WE HAD A VERY PRODUCTIVETEAM, THAT WOULD KILL THE MESSAGE BOARD.

Rodney Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Also....in addition....I now live about 2 1/2 hours south of Dallas. It seems that everyone that I speak to are Cowboy fans and not Houston fans. But, the Cowboy fans even have embarrassed displeasure of the characters they have on the team. They still cheer for them because they are Cowboys, but they have a concern about the direction the Cowboys character / image is going. One said the other day.....In years past, we had individuals like Irwin, Hollywood Henderson, and an offensive lineman that had issues....but never has the team had as many on the roster as now. The cowboys were known as America's Team....with mostly top notch steller type individuals, such as Roger Staubach. So.....bottomline, even Cowboy fans quietly tend to have concerns of the teams direction of having players with character issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
