Dallas Cowboys Update: Coaching Changes Having Their Effect

The online sports betting world would like to think that professional football players just do their jobs and roll with changes in the league. But even in the midst of Super Bowl 45 betting, it is important to remember that these men are people capable of some very strong emotions. Coaching changes happen all the time in the NFL, but it has been years since the Dallas Cowboys have changed their coaching staff. The departure of wide receivers coach Ray Sherman has been especially hard on the Cowboys young receivers.

Wide receiver Miles Austin had a lot to do with the NFL scores that the Cowboys put up this season, but the departure of Sherman has definitely had an effect on Austin’s life. In a recent discussion with betting services experts, Austin said that the departure of Sherman affected him deeply because Ray Sherman was a mentor to Miles Austin. Austin said he was excited to start working with whoever the new wide receivers coach will be.

The AFC Champion Pittsburgh Steelers have been in Dallas all week getting ready for Super Bowl XLV, and some of the Steelers have been giving advice to the Dallas Cowboys. Even though the two teams have not met since 2008, the some of the Steelers have been saying that chemistry and not talent is the problem for the Cowboys. At the Steelers media day, wide receiver Antwaan Randle El said that the Cowboys missing the playoffs was a shock because Dallas is loaded with talent. Former Cowboy, and current Pittsburgh, offensive lineman Flozell Adams said he was also surprised at the Cowboys’ record and added that it was bad chemistry that ruin Dallas and not a lack of talent.

Adam Pacman Jones will Play Against the Baltimore Ravens

After it was thought the his season was done, it appears that Dallas Cowboys cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones will play on Saturday against the Baltimore Ravens. Jones had suffered a herniated disk in a loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers almost two weeks ago.

Dallas Cowboys head coach Wade Phillips announced on Wednesday that the controversial Jones would play against the Baltimore Ravens. Adam “Pacman” Jones hurt his back in the first quarter against the Pittsburgh Steelers when he scrambled to recover a muffed punt and was pulled out of the resulting dog pile awkwardly by a Steelers player. Jones played the rest of the game against Pittsburgh.

Adam “Pacman” Jones has certainly had an interesting season. Jones was reinstated to the NFL by commissioner Roger Goodell shortly before the first game of the season. He then went on to play in 6 games before he was once again suspended by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, for a fight that took place in a Dallas hotel. The game against the Pittsburgh Steelers was Jones’ first game back from the suspension.

Jones had missed the entire 2007 NFL season after several arrests and investigations, including one involving a shooting at a Las Vegas men’s club.

Other injury issues affecting the Dallas Cowboys, who have lost a large number of players to injury throughout the season include strong safety Roy Williams and rookie running back Felix Jones, who were both ruled out for the rest of the season.

In addition to Adam “Pacman” Jones, it is expected that starting quarterback Tony Romo, who suffered a back strain against the New York Giants, will play against the Baltimore Ravens.
