Could we be seeing Jimmy Johnson's input?

JJ was a big believer in building from the trenches out. I’m sure Zimmer agrees with him. This could all be Jimmy’s influence. If so, I hope they listen more to him. Go Cowboys!

That may be true, but the Cowboys lost their starting center and starting left tackle, so drafting offensive linemen is not really limited to a "Jimmy Johnson" plan.

So far, it's hard to say any decisions the Cowboys have made this off-season have been influenced by Jimmy in any way.

Now, if the Cowboys move on from Dak next season, then you could look back and say Jimmy probably put the idea to reset the cap in 2024 in Jerry's mind and that led to them being silent during free agency and holding off on any of the Prescott, Lamb or Parsons extensions.

However, if the Cowboys extend Dak this season or next season then that it would be hard to say they did anything different than they always do except they went cheap in 2024 for some reason.

Jimmy would have told them to re-sign Tyron and Biadasz to give the draft picks a year to learn. The O-line is not going to look pretty with 2 raw rookies starting.

You still have huge issues at DT. Thats not a good group there and I don’t see what they can get at this point to make it any better. It’s the bottom of the barrel there. Jimmy would’ve never ignored it the way this FO does. Getting a 1st rounder once in the past 2 decades is just pathetic.

I don’t care. They’re in the 5th round of the draft and the bottom of the dumpster in FA. Nothing but scraps left on either front. What do you think they’re going to find between now and camp?

Jimmy also was more into having weapons first and foremost....would have gone RB in the 3rd with what is there now. And then also tried to move into the 4th round if there was someone he thought would help now. In other words, he had a sense of urgency... the future is now.... this FO...not so much. If this blows up in their face, there's always next year.

Those who think Jimmy Johnson has serious input in the operations of the current Dallas Cowboys also think Pro Wrestling is real... believe in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny... can't find a girlfriend...etc.

Jimmy is not a paid employee of the cowboys organization. He has not had any input on the organization. He has not made any recommendations or any decisions on behalf of the jones. Idk where this is all coming from. People even said jimmy would be in the war room. He was not and never was going to be. He was Not even in the restroom at the star. It was all fake news and it needs to be clarified and said. Thank you

I doubt any of what we are doing is related to JJ. Maybe Jimmy told us to completely ignore FA too?
