Still can’t believe they didn’t keep Danny Amendola and TO was right he landed on a team and the rest is history
TO was absolutely on point about Amendola. He wasn't a big numbers guy but he was extremely reliable when teams needed him to be.
@@SmugTomato Who would’ve thought that he would have ended up replacing Wes Walker and winning Super Bowls with the Pats lol
@@AmirKhan-yv8jm It's crazy how on point T.O. was about him. Then again, if anyone knows how to evaluate WRs, it's probably him.
It really didn't take TO to see it, honestly. Anyone could see that he was Wes lite. Not sure how they ever let him go.
@@lindigj Making the 53 was impossible for him at the time. The receiving group was pretty locked, I'm sure it came down to an extra DB or LB for special teams
Lol Jerry saying Felix might be one of the best he seen made me laugh but before his injuries he was sooo smooth
That Arkansas homer in Jerruh. In fairness, yeah, in another timeline he could have been special.
Dawg if you were a Cowboy fan when Felix was on you thought he was the next up real shit
i remember people thought he might be better than darren mcfadden in nfl…..but also jerry loves his cowboys too much imo really has those rose color glasses and his optimism gets in the way sometimes i believe
They had the same last name tho
Romo was darn good. He was a real mechanically sound QB. I wish he had more success in the playoffs.
He should’ve left the Cowboys
Top 15 QB easy
That was a catch by dez against the packers
@@jrmartinez4397 No it wasn’t..get over it YA LOST
@@yaboi9419 whatever drugs you doin…please stop doin em
The 2007-2008 Cowboys core were basically a product of Parcell's 2003-2006 leadership & hard work & no nonsense mindset. The talent unfortunately didn't fully materialize until after he retired, and Dallas had all the talent in the world to accomplish big things, but lack of leadership did this team in bad. Player for player, they were just as talented as the Patriots in the late 2000's, but lack of discipline was the difference.
Romessica, Wade Phillips.
That 13-3 team was hell!!!!! Damn near the whole team made the probowl
The 2006 team should have made it, they took a talented Seahawks team down to the wire IN SEATTLE and blew the FG although that Hawks team had nearly two minutes to get down the field and have one of the best kickers of 2006 win it. That 2006 team would have gone further if Romo had been the starter in camp they would have won the NFCE znd hosted that first game.
@@RScott413 I don't think they would've gone much farther. They would've had to go to Chicago & New Orleans, & if they got past all that, they go up against Peyton Manning.
Hard to believe they could do all that when they couldn't even beat Detroit in WK 17 to win the East.
Love when this series comes up every year
Let us not forget that T.O. made a cameo in a movie known as Any Given Sunday. Catching a pass from Steamin Willie Beaman!
Jerry Jones slapped the shit out of his grandkids 😆
Came straight to the comments right after😭
😂😂 that was funny as hell I was like DAMN
What did the 5 fingers say to the face ......... SLAP
Shout out to the 2016 Super Bowl champions Danny Ammendola and Martellus Bennett from this series of Hard Knocks
Who would’ve thought that they would have ended up winning Super Bowls with the Pats? LOL
Bennett was trash on cowboys.
@@johnortan1890his super bowl ring isn't.🥴
Such a great episode no non football bs. All practice all behind the scenes all football. Its what the people want!
“Why don’t they just forfeit the whole season and give us the trophy.” Literally the Cowboys in a nutshell.
Lol
😂😂 "Let's see T.O. match this stride haah" oh man that had me rolling....God Bless that old dude.
I laughed when Dave Campo appeared around 6:07.
Coming from a guy who went 5-11 in each of his 3 years as the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys, I'm surprised that Jerry Jones even hired him back in one capacity, or, another after he fired him in the spring of 2003 & brought in Bill Parcells...
The 2008 Dallas Cowboys got a Hard Knocks series and their season unfolded like a Greek Tragedy
Just like 49ers lead in the super bowl
Mm I cool
@@minatoaudios That’s funny the 49ers can at least make a Super Bowl…while Dallas can’t even make a CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP game anymore!
@@JahNuhThunDeeTheOneAndOnly Can’t win it though lmao. I’m not even a Dallas fan and I know their super bowl drought is not as long as 49ers
@@minatoaudios Only one year shorter they both have 25+ year droughts now
I’m watching this like I don’t already know the outcome 😂
Felix (the glass) Jones
Right
9-7 record , blown out in the season finale in Philly 44-6 , and miss the playoffs.
They were having a great season until Romo broke his throwing hand. Lost 2 games without Romo, Romo came back went 4-1. Took his cast off and his throwing was off and so they lost the last 2. Should have kept the cast on for the remainder of the season.
To bad, a cowboys vs Cardinals would have been interesting in the playoffs, as cowboys lost to them by a blocked punt in overtime early in the season. Romo broke his throwing hand that first play in overtime, and cowboys stud punter broke his foot on that block in overtime.
Jim garretts backing of Todd is so lovely, he genuinely wants him to succeed - we need more of that backing in life. Be a Jim
I need a Jim
I just love the throwback hard knocks and I was growing up as a teenager watching the nfl at that time as a kid is just a dream come true that we can do anything if we put our mind to too follow our dreams in life
They should have kept Amendola. The guy had a pretty good career. He continued in that Welker slot WR tradition. Man. Welker and his success gave a lot of guys shots at the NFL. If Edelman came out in 2001 no one would have gave him a shot.
Edelman was only 16 years old at the time.
@@ericradford2142 yes, and if he was old enough in 2001he would not have been in the league due to biases at the time over height and size.
Love watching Hard Knocks.
Martellus Bennett had no heart as a Rookie! Too stubborn !🤣
He cared, that coach was just extra 😂
@@stevenmartin1677 No he didn't lol. The coach was trying to get him ready for the NFL and he threw attitude. Funny how the best we got out of the two brothers was when one played with Belichick and knew that crap wouldnt' fly.
the coach was way too intense and should have had a better sense of man-management. When to back off a little bit
I mean I understand coaching the kid but it gets to a point when you gotta trust the process and let him play. Seemed like every single snap that coach was in his face telling him something
Agree
Damn, this is 13 years ago , nobody on the Cowboys then is with them now , even Texas Stadium is gone the only thing that stays the same is Jerry Jones
Last man that was standing from this roster was Jason written and he retired again
And losses
I cringed when they were talking about Amendola making the team and they said, "It's gonna be tough for him to do it." Amendola has played in 13 playoff games (including 3 Super Bowl appearances with 2 wins) and the Cowboys have made 7 playoffs (and went 3-4). Hindsight is always 20/20
Cringe? Dude was made out of glass. Three teams moved on from him Cowboys, Eagles, and Rams until he got to Daddy Brady and won his "rings". You acting like he was Randy Moss out there or something. Cowboys signed him ot the practice squad when he walked on as a free agent. Give them credit for even doing that when no other team would at that time. Lol hard at you barking off his achievements when we know his entire career was built on the backs of Brady and Belichick.
@@ruminating1596sir this is a wendy's
He belonged in the AFC, where Peyton Brady and the coaches knew how to utilize the slot receivers
Man I knew Sam Hurd looked familiar…I just watched a FlemLo video about him trying to move hella weight lol
Ain’t no tryin about it lol. He was really out here 😂
Flemlo raps in the house!!! Man's content on point and you right...he was going full Ganja Narco lmao
2008 felix Jones is gonna be a GOD!!!
2016-2021 Ezekiel elliot HOLD MY BEER 🍺 !!!
I have zero love for someone like Bennett who can’t be bothered to be motivated, but Garrett’s brother was a terrible coach. Just hearing him talk would annoy me to death.
So was Jason garret a thrash pussy coach . And I'm a cowboy fan smh lol
@@mrl.b5737 man I live in Dallas. I’m not a fan but Jason drove me crazy while he was there. You’re not wrong! Lol
If dude was more motivated coach wouldn’t ride his ass and he would hear his voice less😂
@@joshnyamburi 10000% They should have never drafted him. Surely they would have done their research an known Marty didn’t love football. He was there for the check.
The monologue he gives starting at 11:45 sounds like someone doing a caricature of a football coach. The way he takes his sunglasses off like he just said some super deep shit cracks me up.
Imagine getting paid guaranteed 1+ million dollars to play a game and have the attitude of that rookie tight end, what a fool.
Future SB winners with the Patriots Amendola and Marty Bennett
Magic Johnson: We gotta prepare right now.
Dallas Cowboys: We??
Right?!!
Martellus was not motivated at all.
For real. At 42:50 he's sounding like his Grubhub driver just called to tell him he's running late
Neither were the 2008 Dallas Cowboys
He still has ring. 🤣
Maybe you need to approach certain players different. Some guys are not going to take to certain type of coaches. Knowing how to motivate different kinds of players and get the best out of them. Great coaching staffs know how to do.
LT is my guy. I loved the way he played the running back position. Him, Faulk, Martin, and Allen
It may be the organization i hate the most but i love the series and players
Is Zack Thomas allowed to hit his teammates like that????🤣🤣🤣
Time mark please
Found it lol, he laid him out
I’m not a cowboys fan but they def had a chance to get a championship back then
My Uncle was a Cowboy fan, i swear he talked this team up so much lol they didnt even make the playoffs haha
Felex one my favorite cowboy RB all time besides marion barber . Their play style what i like
Leonard davis former top 5 pick at guard when he was mauler for the Texas longhorns was a scary lookin dude who could run block like nobody's business
I liked the part where they acknowledged Mrs. Price in this episode.
I wonder where she's at, now...
This is prove coaches don't know what they be looking at. It's all politics and yes man.
Thats exactly what the NFL is. A good ol boy fraternity where coaches fail upwards based on the hype around them instead of what they can actually do. A gleaming example of this right now is Matt Nagy in Chicago. That guy has a team that even just a good coach could run the table with, but because he was Andy Reids coffee boy hes now paid a multi million dollar deal to go .500. It all stems back to the JOKE commissioner. Once you see how hes ruining the actual game of pro football but is adding to the various circus acts and poltical stunts around football you clearly see why football IS in a PR nosedive. Its time for a new commissioner. Goodell, his GARBAGE RULES COMMITTEE & BAND OF WOKE EXECUTIVES have around WAYYYYY TOO LONG.
@@brianbelden2449 ya don’t say.
@@brianbelden2449
What’s the commissioner supposed to do? Outside of adhering to the Rooney Rule, owners can hire anyone they want.
*Totally forgot Danny Amendola was on this team*
Too many lies
Who would’ve thought that he would have ended up replacing Wes Walker and winning Super Bowls with the Pats? LOL
@@AmirKhan-yv8jm love it
D ware and M Bennett won Super Bowls too. Death by Jerry
God I love this channel
Man, Martellus Bennett was a 13 year old in an NFL player’s body. What a damn child
Definitely was an underachiever
He had a gigantic NFL body. He walked by me at Bears training camp and I couldn’t believe how big he was.
He did win a SB with the NE Pats lol!
The most hyped team every year. Cowboys never can deliver tho
I’m a cowboy fan but truth be told it is true we never deliver
@Akbar Shabazz-Jenkins I don’t think so with Tom Brady.
Ya don’t say. Maybe this year will be different with Prescott coming back.
@@ericradford2142 NY Giants gonna hurt & punish Cowboys!!! HERE COMES THE PAIN!!!!!
When you look at the roster this 2008 Cowboys team is easily a 14-2 type of team they were loaded.
I wonder how many times Dave Campo arrived at the team facility and accidentally started walking toward the head coach's office.
Now that was 🤣 funny well done
"They're gonna go with the guys they don't have to worry about. Is it fair?"
Yes..
The 08 team was really just the Parcell's leftovers being poorly coached. Parcells fielded tough teams no matter what. I was at the RomoBobble game and that was LEGENDARY. Remember it like yesterday and the elation shared all the way home on the Sounder train. Even in the park and ride. That was CRAZY
The 07 team that was first round bye was parcels team but this team no more disciplined the team just got weak. In 07 they had 13 pro bowlers barber miles Austin and others all parcels you better believe tony and Witten wouldn’t have been in Cabo before a playoff game both Romo and Witten didn’t win anything and are down in Cabo. Smh 🤦♂️
Liev Schreiber. 'Nuff said.
THE VOICE
Watched plenty of Hard Knocks Dallas an Houston Texans so far had the Nicest Coaching staff an actually cared for the players through n through
Late 2000s hd hit different
It Feels like I’m watching the actual tv series
I hate when someone visits and states the obvious...oh we gotta think like a team
As an Eagles fan it warms my heart to see that the Cowboys tripping over themselves is just one of those fundamental laws of nature, it’s constant, and never dates (this could be 2022) ...passing on Amendola...LMAO. 😂
Good time for football again 🏈💯
Let that one brotha eat he sounded so depressed he couldn’t bust down on some chitlins
They really thought Felix Jones was going to be legit.
Nope
He was... injuries just caught up to him
Him and Darren mcfadden will probably be the last time ever that college teammates at the same position runnimgback will ever be drafted in the first round ever again , I remember Auburn in 2004 had two running backs drafted in the top 5 which will definitely not happen again...
@@pmbarro you can say that about a lot of athletes who didn't pan out.
@@ericsmith6823 yea I doubt it too. However you may see two WRs taken in the top 5 or top 10 from same school.
Still think people sleep on the “All or Nothing” series
Thank you for your comment. I couldn't remember the name of that series for months. Appreciate you 👍
The Arizona cardinals season when they made the nfc title when cam newton beat them?
As a Cowboys Fan I wish I could get as excited as Ms. Price 😂
25:48 so sick seeing stuff like this Wes being a up and coming coach in the NFL now in 2024 the OC for the vikings.
9:55 Dak Prescott was playing QB since '08
In case you were wondering:
Keon Lattimore career stats are 0 rushes for 0 yards and 0 everything else. Never heard of him till today.
That Zach Thomas hit lol
31:25~ o'l daddy Garrett speaking truth. Refreshing to hear an old white-head talking about screws haters, show em your athletic prowess. ☯️
They've been asking the cowboys this every season since 1996. We know the answer still .
Ya I love Jerry talking “felex” and he has the same last name as me :) Jerry saying haha
Lol and it is such a common last name at that
Wow they were high on Felix Jones. Sad it didn’t work out
If Bennett took it seriously when he was with the Cowboys we couldve had one the best TE duos of all time in Witten and Bennett.
Oh man ST Coach Bruce Read, I just had PTSD as a Nebraska fan.
Martellus' attitude seemed like he never wanted to be bothered...as if he wasn't coachable. Anybody else noticed that?
Shit was annoying can’t stand him and his brother
@@MrRiggs2010 at least he ended up winning a SB with the Pats lol
The coach could've done better with him..
@@MrRiggs2010 ikr
I wonder if ms price still around🤔
Love this time of year
Zack Thomas laid him out 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That theme sing is iconic.
LOL campo was the head coach last time hard knocks looked at the cowboys. Now he's defensive coordinator.
Find yourself a woman who loves you as much as Jim Garrett loved terrible football players.
Or grandma
Then a longshot and now a SB champion, TO was right!
Is this episode 2??
Yes
Oh yeah more hard knocks.
For the Danny Amendola thing. Idc how fast or slow a receiver is, can that fool catch? That's my concern lol Danny could catch
Saw danny out there still today returning punts.
Lets goo baby c’mon now !!!
The only team that I can think of that thinks they can TALK their way to a Super Bowl win which applies to the current team today
Players not motivated, lack discipline, but worst of all is that the coaches, team executives, and the owner don’t have the ability to motivate the players or even themselves lol. Cowboys always have a good roster but that don’t mean nothing when it comes time to play the game.
Ya don’t say.
I didn't know Ludacris tried out for the cowboys at wide receiver
Will you be uploading the other episodes?
Is that Dave Campo around 1:06?...
I can't tell.
Yup that's him, head coach in 02 hard knocks and in this one just a db coach
@@warrenkemmer1307- That's what I figured...
To be fair, it's been so long since I last watched this episode, I completely forgot about Dave Campo coming back as a defensive backs coach for the Dallas Cowboys in the 2008-2009 NFL season--literally.
I do remember when he was the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys in the 2002-2003 NFL season as if it were yesterday, though.
Thank you for the memory refresher.
@@tthomaselli2 your welcome
I have to give it to Martellus for not putting his hands on Garret's brother.
damn amendola JUST retired
Bennett is a great example of Jone's loving there own pick... Even when they suck
Bennett had a great NFL career, a Superbowl winner.
Lasted 10 years in the league. Players that "suck" don't do that
He didn't suck. The Cowboys didn't come at him right
Man now I see why Martellus Bennett had so much to say about the Garretts John Garrett is so fucking annoying how did he even keep a job
Literally nobody agrees with you. Everyone in the comments are saying the exact opposite Bennett’s immature and just straight up not coachable.
Martellus wants to punch that dam coach lol
Amendola got done in by Oliver. Oliver changed Amendola's life
That's joke that coach was fighting for Bennett. And he laughed at him. Coach gave him his all Bennett gave him a laugh.
That tight end dont listen!!
I get needing to coach rookies well but that TE coach for Bennett was in his face way too much. He didn’t even rly let him let loose and play. Every single time he was in his face telling him something
This Parson's kid is going to be special. They playing him at "Mike" still right? Or are they going to shift him?
2:50 anytime your employer says "this is a family." that means GTFO.
god damn i thought football players were big but magic johnson is huge
Jason Garrett: I want to watch Danny amendola play in a game.
A regular fan: watch the super bowls that you guys didn't make it to which would be all of them from this point forward.
They kept Sam Hurd and amendola didn't make it 🤯 or Wes welker.
Who would’ve thought that he would have ended up replacing Wes Walker and winning Super Bowls with the Pats? LOL
Danny never thought he'll have two rings
Whoever runs this account like Ochocinco says "I love you"
That year with a playoff berth at stake last game Eagles 44 Cowboys 6
Garret was already the head coach
