Coach Wade Phillips said the Dallas Cowboys are considering bringing in referees to practices in an effort to help fix the team's penalty problems. The Cowboys (1-4) are tied with the Tennessee Titans for third in the NFL with 49 penalties, and the offense leads the league with 30. During preseason, referees come to NFL training camps for a few days to go over new rules changes and to help offenses determine if formations are set up correctly and if players are onsides or offsides. "We may. That's a possibility," Phillips said. "The officials we get [during camp], all they do is stand there and watch and see if we line up onside or offside. ... But there are some other things we're going to explore." Phillips blames some of the calls on the Cowboys' offense having the ball more than any other team, creating opportunities for more penalties. Dallas leads the NFL in time of possession with an average of 33:47 per game. "We've had the ball a lot more than everybody else," Phillips said. "I still think -- and I may be wrong -- but I think you have more penalties if you have more offensive plays. There's more things that can happen offensively. "There's a line where you have too many that cost you drives or field goals or touchdowns. There is a fine line there. We've gone over the line." Source: ESPN Dallas
Usually a freaking coach can fix the problem. Oh that's right, this is Dallas:icon_rolleyes: Wade needs to get a set of balls, and kick some asses on supposedly Pro players, who should know what the Dam rules are by now. What's the freaking IQ's on this team, or don't they have a measurable scale for that level of gooberation.
