Video: Why Robert Jones Could be a 'Huge' Pick Up for the Cowboys

[big dog cowboy]

I'm still on Team Bass

 

[Pass2Run]

He wishes he was Kosier.

I see some Leary in this dude.

 

[Pass2Run]

I think the projected lineup is Guyton, Smith, Beebe, Hoffman and Steele, and the game-day backups will be Richards (LT, LG) and Jones (RG, RT) with Hoffman switching to center if Beebe gets hurt.

I think the better lineup is:

Smith, Bass, Hoffman, Beebe, Guyton

 

[KingCorcoran]

That's the Cowboys way. Sign jags and busts and experiments and talk about the "potential" and "upside". It's embarrassing.

The Cowboys are developing a certain “Memphis Showboats vibe”.

 

[LysleE]

This team will go how the o-line goes. The Cowboys are in need of dependable depth; there is a big hole at RG, RT seems to have regressed since his surgery; and a rookie LT coming off injuries last season. Just as important, who is going to step up and lead this line with Z. Martin gone?
It’s imperative that guys like Bass and Hoffman step-up; they have been in the system now for what 3 years? More importantly, this group has to protect the oft-injured, increasingly immobile, prone-to-panic “franchise” QB. A tall task indeed.

Smith, Bass, Hoffman, Beebe, Guyton

Not sure about better. I'll go out on a limb and say none of those 5 start at those positions.

 

[Creeper]

Does he make the final 53? I say no, and that would be a good thing because it means the young guys are better.

 

[ChronicCowboy]

He won’t beat out Bass…..he’ll probably be the primary back-up at guard and Hoffman will back up Beebe at center.

 

[blueblood70]

I'm just not interested in hoping that this or that player over achieves, we need to actually players that are proven. The Jones magic show has grown tiresome...

Maybe You missed it ,

but at the very least he was brought in here for depth, and he will be a very strong backup, you need that right,

if someone gets hurt he is a viable starter he may not be up to your expectations but you missed the point much ??you may not get the best he's ever brought, but I remember last year when everyone cried over Jerry not spending 6,000,000 you remember cheating Jerry not spending a measly 6,000,000 on tyron Smith but all The Jets fans were excited and said the Cowboys were stupid for letting him go for that money he was worth it right Nope had one of his worst years ever Jerry was right The Jets were wrong,

NEED more proof; how does chuma Edoga or a guy like Peters just keep getting picked up, OR lance getting a shot with LAC, and they end up playing another teams,​

​

but when the Cowboys bring them here all of a sudden they're all trash and you have no faith in any of them and yet every team does it every team is loaded with these players the salary cap is top heavy with your top five guys that are making the most money and about 11 more that are clear starters the rest of them you have to go around and find them, you got to find guys like this every season a team is losing about 17 players that are up for free agency and you lose some of them you bring back some of them but now you got to fill in those holes...​

but other teams do this they bring over players and in this case we're not even counting on him as a starter and they made Tyron Smith the starter as if he was going to be old Tyron Smith but when you bring over somebody with less expectations if he can work himself back into just solid that's a great backup that can give you spot duty play should he need to step in and start a few games.....

That's the point, that's why these guys are on every team that is why Jerry's not different than anyone else they all need them they all go out and have to fill this roster especially the bottom 30 with players just like this you have to have role players you have to have depth and they can't all be pro bowlers they can't all be superstars or all pros I know you think that 'cause people around here that seems to be the expectation you think we can have three of the best at every position and that jerry's wrong for not doing it.. .

 

[blueblood70]

He won’t beat out Bass…..he’ll probably be the primary back-up at guard and Hoffman will back up Beebe at center.

How do you know that for sure?

don't you need training camp in preseason games and all these practices let the coaches decide that ?

you do need more than one backup, technically bass really only excelled as a backup left guard for some reason, didn't look the same at right guard, and the fact is you would need another backup then,

Because what if something happens to BB like you said then Hoffman slides over, guess who's going in at right guard, it won't be bass ,it will probably be Jones and I'm just saying this again before we see it all play out, he's got experience as a starter for sure he can play spot start at LG.

This isn't any different than when guys like Peters and Edoga keep finding places to go late in their careers, because you always need depth, even if the guys don't look good to you, they have a role on teams every team fills these roles in with the same guys...

Besides I feel like the middle of our line is just fine the way it is both with backup starters rotations there's no need to make crazy moves there however the tackle spots are unsettled they're gonna be hell of a battle and a lot of evaluation going on to figure out the tackle spots...

 

[youngjerryjones]

Wow this video is bad...like really bad. He said that Rob Jones was a top 100 ranked guard this season, a top 50 guard 2023....There are only 64 starting Guard spots in the league. Plus Jones failed to log 500 snaps in 2023.

The handful of plays shared in the video were pretty lackluster as well. If you're only going to pick a few plays to share in support of Rob Jones and these are the best ones....ouch. This either means Jones doesn't much quality tape or this is a Youtuber just trying to push out content as quick as possible and has done minimal research on the player.

Matty dubbs has 120k subs of brain dead fans - not sure who can watch this and say they gave accurate info

Gotta agree, but they aren’t going to do it so it’s not worth even thinking about.

Strong backup? This dude was DEAD LAST in ranking last year. Now I hope I'm wrong about this guy being a waste of time, but you really spent a lot of energy and explanation for a JAG. lol. We should be spending money getting playmakers, and here you are more than happy with signing last place ranking Guards.

 

[LACowboysFan1]

He was ranked 26th in run blocking in 2023...

He's very likely a backup in case of injuries.

Bingo!

Every team needs backups, and size is helpful...

 

[Pass2Run]

Gotta agree, but they aren’t going to do it so it’s not worth even thinking about.

I just feel like that lineup gives you the closest thing to nearly having an elite line.

It's not about where the players are now. Yeah, like DQ said, be where your feet are.

But, to me, it's more about coaching them all up to their potential. I actually do think Tyler Smith can be a top 5 LT in the league given the proper coaching. He has the ability.

 

[75boyz]

That's the Cowboys way. Sign jags and busts and experiments and talk about the "potential" and "upside". It's embarrassing.

Every.
Single.
Year.

It's in their offseason marketing handbook.
Then you compare the end of season results to the offseason "attempted" sales pitch to sucker fans in. And it's just pathetic to look back on..

But then there's always that group here of naive, er clueless, believers that makes this forum entertaining.

I’m with you. I just don’t see it happening.

All along I’ve felt it’s been an outsmart everyone else thing by keeping Tyler at LG, signing him accordingly, then maybe moving him out to LT on the cheap....as if he won’t say a word about it.

Let’s see what actually happens.

That's why he is on our team. That's what GM Jethro and Stephen like to sign in FA.

That's your opinion... Sometimes going to a new team it's crazy how you would be a strong backup versus being counted on as a starter.... I know people didn't like Edoga very much but he sure got taken by somebody really fast.. Fan standards are different than actual reality on building rosters with role players you guys are lost and you think everybody should be Pro Bowl level and you're wrong that's not how a salary capped hard capped league is built.... You need any other proof how about trey lance, everybody around here said total bust jerry only ones to make this mistake, thought he was done and going to the CFL or UFL..

crazy I don't know if you get picked up by a team, but he can earn $6 million by holding a clipboard this year.

Think about some of these players even Kareem hunt didn't even have a team dude wasn't even on a practice squad goes to a Super Bowl team and becomes a starter for 10 weeks doesn't do anything special but he helped them keep moving forward until their starter came back and did enough to keep their offense functional that dude wasn't even on a roster that is how this works you can't build a 63 man roster if you include the practice squad 53 on the active and only 48 on game day with all stud players... That is also why you have a special team ace in like Goodwin and you don't think that he belongs here because he doesn't do anything else on the team but it is imperative and every team has these guys they are called role players these are guys who are depth guys....

Everyone thinks Jerry and Steven are the only ones that dig into the budget players and you'd be very very very wrong open your eyes take a long look the rest of the league has all these same players on it just like we picked up that wide receiver that's been around the NFC East everybody thinks he's not worth even looking at and yet he keeps ending up on a roster.lmao.

that's what a role player in a backup is in this league teams will keep moving them around because they're necessary,

but sure you play Madden you play fantasy football you play fake Internet GM and you get to have your opinion I think he's going to be a strong addition to this team as a backup because he has starter experience.

 

[John813]

IMO Robert Jones is just depth. That's all he should be here. He provides positional flex.

Can't say I ever keyed on him when watching Miami over the years but he's not some gem in the rough. Last year he struggled. Miami goes through OL coaches yearly, so maybe there was an issue there but even a few years back he never flashed legit starter potential. Miami with Grier has ignored the guard position since the Adam Gase days-hell after Richie Incognito left they haven't really had a good one.
