Cut Day! | Hard Knocks 2008 Cowboys

[@patton303]

And Danny Amendola ended up with almost 12,000 total yards in the NFL and two rings. He even threw for two touchdowns. Follow those dreams, kids.

[@eugeneweeks3325]

Ware with his daughter was the definition of a gentle giant. Love that!

[@trini_staple]

Wade Phillip is the only coach I've seen on Hard Knocks who got choked up cutting players. You can tell he took it personally.

[@nick56677]

Wade Phillips was better at his natural position as D coordinator. He is missed in the league. Wade is like a lot of coaches; Terrible Head Coach, but excellent coordinators. Dick Lebeau, Rex Ryan etc

[@blueballedmedia1008]

Mike Smith was very emotional and struggled during his cuts.

[@Chalk89]

@@nick56677 I used to think the same, then I looked at his coaching record. The man coached in eight full seasons, winning record in six, and an 8-8 record in another. His lone losing season was 7-9. In Buffalo it was widely speculated that the owner (Ralph Wilson) told Wade he needed to start Rob Johnson over Doug Flutie. And, well, in Dallas - he had Jerry Jones. Meanwhile, a coach like Ron Rivera is revered and talked about as a good coach.

[@timmysullivan2515]

To be fair, Rex Ryan still took the Jets to consecutive AFC Championship games. The Jets had their two most successful seasons since winning Super Bowl III with him. Also didn’t help that Mike Tannenbaum and John Idzik were bad GMs. I won’t defend his last four seasons as the Jets coach, but he didn’t get to within a game of the Super Bowl with Mark Sanchez by accident.

[@JAYSPLASHMUSIC]

@@timmysullivan2515 facts he brought the Jets back from the dead lol

[@JorgeGarcia-lr3vk]

Watching, you can just tell Coach Phillips is a down to earth and cool guy. You can tell guys love him, explains why his defenses play so hard for him.

[@dawnpatrick1097]

It's hard to coach a team, when you have an OC gunning for your job. Stabbing you in the back at every chance.

[@r.williamcomm7693]

Agree. Always felt like he got shafted by the Broncos & same with the Rams. He’s the coordinator who got his teams to Super Bowls & who did more than his part to win them. Rams offense choked after the Wade’s defense held the mighty Patriots to 13 points.

[@nick56677]

I'm a 3-4 defense guy, and Wade Phillips to me is one of the best 3-4 coordinators of all time along with Dick Lebeau.

[@nick56677]

This video shows u the main thing that's wrong with the Cowboys. Jerry Jones stepping into coaching meetings, players to cut etc. Leave that to your coaches. That's the whole point of hiring a coach.

Being cut isn't funny but the handling of the situation is definitely funny because it's what a child would do. It's 5yo logic. "If I don't hear them it can't happen" Or even the subconscious idea that if you just make it past the doorway youre in, like the doorway and not an organization is making the decision lol

[@csaldana1989]

He knew not only his own plays he knew the others, too. He consistently had to tell Lowber what route to run.

[@thucydides7849]

Who would’ve thought that Danny Amendola would become a go to receiver for Tom Brady and a 2 time super bowl champion. Think about all the underdog guys on that patriots Super Bowl offense. Their first team offense was essentially made up by free agents and 6th round draft picks. Danny amendola, Brady, Hogan, Edelman. Really crazy how a good scheme and a good quarterback can make any receiver a star.

[@Chalk89]

You're 100% right regarding scheme, and quarterback. One other point is ignoring the stereotype. Jerry Jones and co. always talked 'size and speed,' when the wide receiver group came up, even from the last Hard Knocks. They looked at DA and thought, 'he doesn't check either box!' They clearly learned their lesson and didn't let Cole Beasley slip out of their grasp later on.

[@notoriouseagle1074]

It's one of those things where I'd rather be named to the practice squad than cut because I know there's still a good chance of ending up on that team when they need to replace someone.

They are different types of receivers. Also Roy was a legit number one for a couple years. Danny was always gonna have a ceiling as a #3. The Roy trade killed our team though. We were actually worse with him. Miles Austin would have broke out in 08' without him. Also the draft capital and the he struggled in 09/10 really hurt.
