Wade to call the Defense in D.

That's a fair take. I just think a wobbly coach is always going to have trouble there, much for the same reasons Turner got shortcircuited here. You need someone to stand up to Jones and Wade has proven himself incapable of doing that.

It is interesting that this culture of accountability that Gibbs installed seems to have survived a regime change, whereas all hell has broken lose down in Dallas.

probably because 85% of gibbs staff is still under contract, and close to 80% of his players too.

Just curious, do you attribute that to Snyder, Gibbs, or some other reason? I am sure that the cowboys still have a high percentage of Parcells players.
I think the different dynamic of both teams has always been interesting. for example: when they had Tom Landry (the stoic), we had George Allen, (a little emotional).
