IRVING, Texas (AP) – Wade Phillips is starting over.
After watching every game film from this season, plus several more from last season, Phillips concluded the Dallas Cowboys are 1-6 because of poor fundamentals. So he’s putting them back in training-camp mode.
Phillips refused to specify on Monday what exactly that means. But he’s bounced his plan off owner Jerry Jones and apparently has been told to go for it.
Jones has been adamant about not changing coaches, despite the Cowboys enduring what’s easily the most disappointing of his 22 seasons in charge. Dallas was expected to contend for the championship, not the first pick in the draft.
Captains Jason Witten, Bradie James and Keith Brooking all said Monday the burden is on the players, not Phillips, to straighten things out.
