No panic from Cowboys owner

Not only are the Cowboys winless in the preseason, but they have not played well as a team in either game against San Diego or Denver.

However, there’s no panic inside the team’s Valley Ranch headquarters.
Owner Jerry Jones said the Cowboys’ subpar play to date is no big deal.Jones learned the hard way as a first year owner in 1989 that preseason outcomes mean little as far as the regular season is concerned.

They had a 3-1 record including a overtime victory against John Elway and the Denver Broncos before going 1-15 in the regular season in 1989.

"Absolutely the best I ever felt in preseason was my first year and we went 3-1," Jones said. "We thought we had this thing figured out and we won one in the regular season. That’s the best I ever felt. In the 1990s, when we won six division titles, we never had a winning record. I know others can get real excited about it. It’s real hard for me to get excited about it."

Now, Jones said if the kinds of things like penalties and poor execution continue to be a problem then it will be a concern because those are things that get you beat in the regular season.

Thanks WG. Jone is right about not hitting that panic button just yet. Heck, the Patriots looked lost vs. the Bucs, getting steamrolled in that game at the Sombrero.

Albeit the Pats were without Brady, but you'd think their talent and coaching would keep them in that game. :)

Exactly! Brady doesnt play on the defense which made Bennett look like an all pro. I doubt they are pushing the panic bother either. SD, Jax and a few others looked pretty bad this weekend, I doubt any of them are concearned.

I never put much weight on pre season. It always seems to me the worse teams do better. Maybe they just show more of there actual play book and stuff.

Adjustment's at this point need to be made. By no way am I worried nor should anyone be. It's only pre-season.
