And left the team there to run it on their own.

He probably went looking for a QB

He did this w/ the Giants, Pats and the Jets. I remember when he did it w/ the Jets. It was 1998 and we just got beat bad by a 4-12 Rams team and fell to 2-3 w/ a MNF game at 1st place NE up next. Walking off the practice field and letting the players run practice worked as the Jets beta NE 24-14 then went on to win 11 of their next 12 before falling at Denver in the AFC Championship Game.

I'm sure the "walking off the field" technique worked the first few times...but by now, its an old trick. Does it really hold as much weight as the first time?

for some reason the link won't come through for me. I can only assume he's trying to make the team "feel bad". I don't think it would work this early in the season, and with an entirely new scheme. Not to mention that it's the cowboys, and they of course know better than anyone else.
