Fifty Gut Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 I'm sitting here rewatching the game, and did anyone else notice Michael Barrow is playing for Dallas? Barrow thought he had the leg up on our D because he played for us, but Coach Williams switched from hand signals to wristbands to call defensive plays haha, no matter what you try Dallas, you still couldn't do **** :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chairmangao Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 That's interesting. We should do it against the Giants since they have Pierce and Hasselbeck. How did he use wrist bands to call plays? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaVarIsDaMan Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 what the f**k? he just signs a big contract, with a huge bonus, and leaves a year and half later after getting injured, and is playing for the freaking cowboys?!?! are you f**king kidding me? thats ridicilous.

Alldaz Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 I noticed him on the sideline gettin his knee doctored up.. So I hope he is well, but I am glad he is not playing with us anymore. Too risky and I'm sure he has some effect on our cap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BraveWarrior Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 We could have stooped to similar levels by picking up Peerless Price to get Dallas' gameplan, but after today, I'd say we didn't really need it, did we?:helmet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKINtil8tin Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Barrow's a bum trying to act like a spy - it obviously did them alot of good. The story about him trying to give tips about our D isn't surprising - just the fact that they reported on it was evidence that he was telling people outside of his team what he tried to do.

Yeah, what an ass. We treated that guy better than we should have. I recall we didn't put him on IR last season until very late in the year, hoping he might be able to get some play time in during the season. Then he goes to the Cowboys, where he is clearly not in Tuna's long term plans, simply to act as a spy. Of course, he winds up out of the game from the 1st quarter. Parcells probably fired him in the locker room after the game so they don't have to pay to fly him back to Dallas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spm Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Barrow was signed a few weeks ago to replace Dat Nguyen, who was lost for the season. Although spying may have been part of the reason they signed him, the Cowboys did have a legitmate need for a middle linebacker, and Barrow was one of the best available.

Skinsfan1311 Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Yeah......I was called a "Genius" by a poster, last week sometime, because I disagreed with the notion that having Barrow on the team would make a difference. Guess I am, huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B&GPride44 Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 That's interesting. We should do it against the Giants since they have Pierce and Hasselbeck. How did he use wrist bands to call plays? I'm sure they just numbered their play calls on the wrist bands and called out the numbers that corresponded to each play on their wristbands so as they wouldn't tip their hands with the Barrow situation and playcalling.

G-Prime Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Ex-skin trash is of little threat to us.. I am concerned next week against the Giants and how our coaches will prepare AP and Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boss_Hogg Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 funny how his signing with the cowboys got no recognition until the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McMetal Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Barrow has at least as good a knowledge of our defensive schemes as Pierce does. They both started learning the system at the same time, and though Barrow never got on the field, he continued to study the D and acted as an informal assistant coach for much of his tenure here. That said, it's hard to say why this seemed to be such a problem in the Giants game. Obviously a lot of time will be spent this week disguising calls and trying to game plan a little less predictably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too risky and I'm sure he has some effect on our cap Mike Barrow was a very good MIKE. By the time his career ended with the Giants, he had really lost a step. I can't imagine him being very effective unless it's on a running play where the runner come right at him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsmania123 Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 I think we will definitely be more prepared for the Giants, wrist band calls for both the O and D. I think we should start with a no huddle offense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasRoane Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Ain't Karma a ***** tho? Heh I don't feel sorry for his traitorous ass. We paid him millions to run on a treadmill and he tries to sell us out? Pffft...he got what was coming to him. Wouldn't be surprised if Bugle didn't drop a dime on him heh.

bedlamVR Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Barrow did what anyone would have done get paid for playing football . I wish him no ill will and has been said he was probably one of the best MLBs available for the cowboys when Dat went down .... just coincedence .....if Dat went down this week they would still probably have picked him up durring this week as a replacement .

Skins11 Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Of course, he winds up out of the game from the 1st quarter.

And you're probably right too. Not even cut him on the plane ride, as Parcells has done in the past - do it in the locker room itself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
