I agree with Woodson in the fact that the players do have to step up and win the game.The area I would disagree with Woodson is that Jerry does have some blame for not producing a "win at all cost" atmosphere in the organization. The players don't step up and Jerry allows that to continue year after year and decade after decade.

A very valid point despite what many in here believe.

When your "pretty good" teams fall short year after year, maybe they're not so good after all? Or maybe they're poorly coached?

Either way, I don't see how the man who signs off on their contracts and hires the coach isn't responsible for the (lack of) results.

Doesn't put any blame on the Joneses.....

Give yourself a pat on the back Darren. You're a good boy

In 25 years all the players haven't been able to overcome the cancerous culture Jerry has created. But keep blaming the players, I am sure they will magically overcome Jerry someday though.

They buy into the hype because of the terrible culture created by the clueless showman Jerry Jones

JERRY JONES IS THE NUMBER 1 PROBLEM AT THE COWBOYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gregory is the perfect example IMHO. He is without question a selfish and undisciplined person and player. Nobody wanted him because he is a massive red flag. Doesn't matter though cause Jerry doesn't have to answer to anyone. He picks Gregory. Gregory is basically a no show for 5 years. Year 6 and he is still on the team. Final game of the season and Gregory is basically a no show except for three selfish and undisciplined penalties. Should this come as a shock to anyone? Are the coaches expected to transform these people into something they are not? It is 100% on Jerry to give the coaches players that are disciplined and reliable. Jerry ignores all red flags in search of the all mighty talent yet the team falls apart year after year for reasons other than talent. Perhaps we need to start putting value in some other areas as well.

Make your gambles with 6th and 7th round draft picks not 2nd round picks.

And stop investing in WRs like you are Matt Millen in Detroit.

And stop paying players who are clearly not producing up to their level of play anymore like Crawford and Jaylon.

And stop extended players early for no reason anymore like Zeke.

And stop restructuring contracts spending future cap space in an effort to stay competitive now.

I could go on and on.

Love the line about quit putting it on Jerry. Sooner or later the players have to say enough is enough
