He ain't lying but also I also think it's ideal getting his return on investment of Troy, Romo, and now Dak's huge contracts and surrounding them with top-level players. But not realizing/accepting your QB can just as successful with a great defense.

No D in Big D? Blame Jimmy

Looking for someone to blame for the atrocious defensive play by the Dallas Cowboys this season?
Blame their newly-minted Hall of Fame coach Jimmy Johnson.
Almost three decades ago, Jimmy showed Cowboys owner Jerry Jones that you can play defense on the cheap and still win championships. The Triplets were showered with all the glory in 1992 when the Cowboys won their first Super Bowl of the decade. Overlooked was the fact the Cowboys led the NFL in defense that year, yet didn’t place a single defender on the Pro Bowl team.
There were no stars on that side of the ball that season. At least no Pro Bowl-level stars. Jimmy showed Jerry how it's done and it became gospel for the Cowboys owner. He has been all about offense ever since. The players that touch the football, score the points and show up on the Sunday-night highlights are the names plastered on the franchise marquee. Offensive skill rules. Defense became – and remains -- an afterthought.
