LB Brooking says ‘the expectations are very unrealistic’ here
Veteran linebacker Keith Brooking has quickly become a team leader for the Cowboys. He seems to have gained the respect of everyone in the locker room, players and coaches.
Wade Phillips talked about how he was on the sideline Sunday when things were going bad against Kansas City, yelling that, “We’re going to win this game,” and staying positive even when it seemed like everything was going wrong for the Cowboys.
Brooking said expectations for the Cowboys are quite different than when he was in Atlanta. He said there, it was just about winning.
“I think the expectations are very unrealistic [here],” Brooking said. “I’m not talking about within this locker room, but on the outside of this circle. Every game is a brawl. Every game is hold on and find a way to win at the end. Very seldom do you have blowouts in this league. We just have to have that belief. And we believe.
“The only thing that matters is right here inside this circle. I love our fans. I love the attention that we get. That is something that is very exciting to me, but at the same time, when you really get down to the nuts and bolts of it, you have to worry about right here, what’s right here in this locker room and stay together, keep pulling and take care of small things and it will show up on Sunday.”

Keith said it well.But what he really is sayin is we aint very smart or disciplined as a team and us players must take charge because coach cupcake is either incapable or too stubborn to.Bottom line is we get mentally tough…we win.

Can someone please find a video or screencap of Wade after the Chiefs scored their last touchdown. He was all tangled up in his headset cord. Looking confused and frusterated. It was golden.
