Cowboys Not Messing Around!

Dallas, TX- The Dallas Cowboys are not messing around these days. It doesn't matter what number or name is on the back of the jersey. If you are not performing up to your expectations, your liable to lose your job. Jason Garrett the head coach of the Cowboys is laying down the law. Garrett, who is in his first Spring training as the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys means business.
Andre Gurode was the latest player that didn't meet Jason Garretts expectations. Center Andre Gurode was released by the Cowboys today 8/29/11. No center of the Dallas Cowboys has been to more Pro Bowls than Andre Gurode.
Younger offensive line players have been impressive to the coaches. That lead to the decision to release Gurode, who has not played well in camp this Spring. Jason Garrett said, the transitioning of the team is not to have young players, but putting players on the field to give them a better chance to win. Before Gurode was released, (WR) Roy Williams and (RB) Marion Barber were released, both now are with Chicago.

Beware all Cowboys: You have a new "SHERIFF" in town his name is Jason Garrett.

"If you don't play to his expectations, you won't be around very long." No matter how much experience and success you've had in past. You better be ready to play hard in practice and perform well on game day.

However, Jason made it clear the day he took over for Wade Phillips as the interim coach mid-season last year. He was evaluating players then. He's continuing to evaluate players now. Jason takes pride in the "STAR," that is on the helmets the "Dallas Cowboys" wear.
