Jerry and Jason Press Conference live on 105.3

[cheftjpeck]

I have two Master Degrees and I'm a native Texan so I speak Texan fluently, and I still have a devil of a time following what he's talking about sometimes.

But you don't have a degree in snake oil salesman speak ...jerry has a natural knack to be on sales mode whenever he speaks. He is cautious and thinks about what he says as to not undersell anything and always prepared to rationalize and justify what he just said to give it more of an impact .. But he does it with such passion and tenacity that it feels like he's fleecing you and taking your wallet and giving you a handful of Magic beans ... It's a talent and this man has become extremely successful and rich from it

Did I just hear Jerry say that they had a good draft last year because he listened to someone else for a change?

What's the reason for the good drafts in 2011 and 2013?

What's the reason for the good drafts in 2011 and 2013?

The two aren't mutually exclusive.

He mentioned going back and revisiting decisions in order to double down on what works and stop doing what doesn't work.

It may very well be that the picks that worked in 2011 and 2013 were influenced by certain people and ideas, and he's continuing to double down on those and make them a bigger and bigger part of the process

 

[Gameover]

Finally. Thank God.

How many high profile free agents has JJ broke the bank on?

He got infatuated with deion. I'll give you that.

Leonard maybe two. Who else in 21 years of free agency?

Carr?

I think Marco Rivera's contract (at the time qualifies).

In essence Joey Galloway and Roy Williams were both FA plays.

I take that more as we are looking at the draft, which is the most important thing in building a consistent winner. No more dumb trades i.e Joey Galloway, Roy Williams, OJ Santiago etc., no more Pac Man Jones, Tank Johnson after being close in 2007. Should I go on?

You build a consistent championship club through the draft.

That is because he is not from Texas. He's from somewhere in the United States.

 

[craig71]

Did Jerry have a giant banner indicating that he was "Executive of the Year"?

Nope, but if you see an old guy at a tattoo parlor with a bottle of Walker in one hand and striptease dancer in the other you should know his name.

What I took from the press conference regarding free agency is

1 Demarco Murray is not coming back. Jerry mentioned something about learning from past situations, I assume he's talking about Marion Barber.

2 Jerry is not breaking the bank on star free agent like Suh. He's gonna try to get guys on a budget and try to hit on the draft picks.

Re #1, Jerry might just be doing a little public negotiating -- i.e., letting the Murray camp know that there's a budget in mind for RBs. Maybe there's some wiggle room in that budget, but, as in #2, the budget won't get blown up.

There's your problem... you need a phD in Arkansas'isms

Well, he's from Arkansas, actually. But Arkansas is just a suburb of Texas and the speak is very similar.

 

[LandryFan]

Nah, Asthma, see my response in post # 32. However, you may be right that I need a PHD rather than a Masters Degree to understand him.

Carr?

For me its the galloway and R williams ones that were the worst. I think because of those two, many other moves have been looked at with a skewed slant and magnified or exagerated by the media nd fans.

Music to my ears and it's obvious that the Marion Barber thing would make him think twice about Demarco.

Trades. Horrible trades

Rivera was Parcells signing.

My point was, Jerry hasn't been one to go out every off season and sign a bunch of big name free agents. There is nothing wrong with signing someone to fill a need.

I think you have to count the Galloway and Williams trades as amounting to the same thing. But he hasn't made a big non-draft offseason move since Carr in 2012. And Carr was an unusually young free agent: that's the kind of guy you should be willing to gamble your FA money on, even though it didn't work out as well as we would have liked in Carr's case.

The last really unsound FA move that Dallas made was...well, it was probably pursuing Nnamdi in 2011, who was 30 at the time. Before that it was the Williams trade in 2008.

The bigger sins over the last decade have tended to be the contracts given out to our own players.

Listening to Jerry is like watching Green Acres in Mandarin.

I have no idea what's going on.

It takes a while to translate Jerry Speak

I have created and sell an app for your smart phone and Iphone called "Jest Tween Us Girls." It translates Jerry into English.
