hired Wade Phillips. It was obvious then that Garrett would replace Phillips as the team’s head coach at some point.It came during the middle of the 2010 season Eric Weddle Jersey , with the Cowboys off to a 1-7 start. Garrett became the interim head coach before getting the full-time job after a 5-3 finish.Phillips returned to being a defensive coordinator for the Texans, Broncos and now the Rams. He meets his former offensive coordinator Saturday night when the Rams host the Cowboys.“Jason Garrett has done a tremendous job there,” Phillips said this week. “He’s a better head coach than I was and done better.”Phillips remains close to Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, who still annually sends Phillips a Christmas gift. But Phillips still wants to beat Jones, Garrett and the Cowboys as much or more than any team the Rams play.“Most cherished moment was when I got the job. Least cherished, when I got fired,” Phillips said. “As with any head coaching job in the league, it’s special. I think Dallas is that way because of the owner. Again, he makes you part of his family. [Jones’ wife] Gene Jones is one of the great people in the world. Their whole family is special to me, so that made it special there because we were close to them. It’s still a revenge game for me, just like the other 10 teams that I have coached for. Although Austin Blythe Jersey , I can’t get any revenge against the Houston Oilers, because there is no Houston Oilers anymore. But all the rest of the 10 teams I want to beat because I’m not there anymore . . . or 11. I don’t know how many there are.” The LA Rams were so low key for their trip to Hawaii for their second preseason game that they actually looked pretty good in the loss." 2019 Los Angeles Rams PreseasonLos Angeles Rams-Dallas Cowboys preseason Week 2: Winners & losersNew,40commentsThe LA Rams were so low key for their trip to Hawaii for their second preseason game that they actually looked pretty good in the loss. CDTAlthough the big stars for the Los Angeles Rams didn’t make the trip to Honolulu, Hawaii, there was some intrigue for the players fighting to crack the 53-man roster. And yes, the Rams lost to the Dallas Cowboys, 10-14, but it’s preseason. So, who stood out and who made their case for the practice squad?WinnersRB John KellyIf you listen to Turf Show Radio, then you know that we are big fans of the second-year ball carrier from Tennessee. Although it was only highlighted on one play, Kelly (whispered Sean Mannion Jersey , of course) was able to show that he can pick the safety on passing situations. When he gets the ball, his ability to change direction is something to watch. If it was ever in doubt. this performance make a loud case for Kelly being the fourth running back. And the man only ran for 11 yards on 5 carries. He just looked great doing it.OLB Ogbonnia OkoronkwoThere’s a old phrase that still rings true: “you can’t make the club if you’re in the tub.” Well, the second-year pass rusher, even though he’s a fifth-round pick, has received some lofty expectations from the Ramily and even though this is his first game in the horns, he played like it was his hundredth. Okoronkwo was able to draw penalties, get to the quarterback, and basically just wrecked havoc. Five stars.CB Dont’e DeayonMan, this is a stacked position, but Deayon did his job, which was: make some plays and get the opportunity to get more chances to impress. I really liked the quickness and just overall commitment to getting to the ball that Deayon showed and definitely want to see more of him in week 3. S Steven ParkerThe safety position is also loaded for the LA Rams Jamon Brown Jersey , especially with the strong presence that S Taylor Rapp has already shown in the preseason. However, S. Steven Parker is acting like he belongs on the team.LosersOL Jamil DembyHuman error happens in football, especially with these offensive lineman switching positions. OL Jamil Demby got exposed playing center, allowing a snap to lose its way (even though QB Brandon Allen was able to track down the ball to make a play). Demby didn’t help himself by getting called for two holding penalties. LB Bryce HagerEarly in the game, LB Bryce Hager chose the wrong angle on a running play which was a big gain for Dallas Cowboys RB Tony Pollard. Hager needs to play better and more examples like this could put him in jeopardy once the 53-man roster is announced. In fact, Hager was clearly outplayed by LB Travin Howard. WR JoJo NatsonAlthough he had a touchdown reception, this dude can’t muff a return that causes a turnover. The competition at this position is pretty fierce and WR Michael Thomas is nipping at his heels. QB John WolfordThe time for QB John Wolford to turn some heads in order to knock off QB Brandon Allen and get into that 3rd string quarterback position is now and Wolford was rather pedestrian. Completing 5 passes off nine attempts for 26 yards, the Wake Forest product needed to pop more. And with the strong play by QB Blake Bortles, Wolford just seems... expendable right now.
