The Cowboys have faced the Green Bay Packers when they had their backs on the wall. What did they do? They came out fighting hard and played desparate to win the game, 17-7. They played the New York Giants with their backs on the wall, what did they do? They did the same thing and came out firing big plays to defeat the Cowboys, 31-24.

These teams came out with the necessary intensity, heart, and desire to get a victory. They had the determination and drive that they were not done fighting.

I ask you Cowboys, do you have the same mentality now? Do you feel like YOUR backs are against the wall? What are you going to do? Many people say you don’t have want it takes. I believe there is some in you, but you can’t talk it. I need you to walk it, show me.

You do have a tough schedule, I admit. Your season just may rest on this game. As a fan of the Dallas Cowboys for over 30 years, I expect you to be winners. I believe you are winners, but you have to play like one. It will not be given to you.

I need you to go out there fighting, scratching, clawing, and anything to get a victory on Sunday. I want to believe you can do it. Please, your fans want you to go all the way.

Feed your energy off of Jay Ratliff and Keith Brooking. Get fired up, push each other to keep going. Find it within yourselves to get that determination and heart. Drive it home this Sunday, no stopping!!
