Leaving the battlefield

Dallas Cowboys' head coach Bill Parcells' is at it again, except this time it was the players fault. What happened? Read and find out!
After an intense day of dropped snaps, slow plays, and just plain screwups at the Alamo Dome in San Antonio on Sunday, General Bill Parcells, the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys, had enough.

Making his offensive line run laps, he realized it didn't compensate for anything.

The General decided it was getting old, and organized a coaches' meeting on the 32-yard line. Within minutes the cavalry was left to fend for themselves, as General Parcells' formed a b-line with the rest of the staff and left the field -- only to leave a camera crew, and good ole' Jerry Jones to watch the miscollaboration.

The players finally showed a little initiative on the field, and began playing like they had a leader there to back them up. But, their leader was gone.

As for the cavalry, after practice, each player had no comment, sworn by a pact they agreed to in their last huddle of practice.

As long as the Cowboys feel like they have control of the team, the more Parcells' will be smacking helmets and grabbing jerseys to mold da 'boys into the team he wants.
