Jerry gives Maher vote of Confidence

[Brax]

Is that a vote of confidence. I have no idea what Jerry is saying to be honest.

I thinks that's Jerry speak, says a lot but means little. If you can decode it let us know.

 

[Brax]

Isn’t Stephen still calling the shots or is that only when we’re winning? Lol

ha ha ha SJ calling the shots, funny guy aren't you.

 

[Brax]

Ya I dont get this is he saying the offense sucks?

I think you may have deciphered it with your ovaltine Decoder ring , Jerry says the O sucks, makes sense.

 

[RodeoJake]

If that's a vote of confidence, I'm ok without one.

That's the kind of vote of confidence that makes you update your resume and read job postings.

I’m not sure what’s more entertaining. Jerry or our idiotic fan base. Lol

I resemble that remark

 

[Diehardblues]

You’re not one of those fans?

You didn’t think we were SB bound after 3-0 and the sky is falling now?

I thought we had a 7 game pre-season and I think the defense was over-rated. Currently wondering if this team is starting to give Jason the Wade Phillips treatment.

If a genie showed up and offered me 3 wishes, they would be as follows:
1. world peace
2. 100 million dollars
3. Jerry finally learns to shut the bleep up when he should

You know, we got spoiled around here. We had an outstanding kicker that, for a long, time, led the NFL. But the real world is that when that kicker lines up- really now, whether it’s on an extra point or certainly with a field goal attempt- you don’t know if that ball’s going to go through there or not. You’d like to think you do, but you don’t. So his performance so far is giving us, when we step up there, we don’t know if it’s going through or not. We really need to make our decisions based upon whether we think we can score a touchdown. I remember, very early on when I was first involved in the NFL and with the Cowboys, we didn’t want to spend anything, and we didn’t want to get all bent out of shape over a kicker, because we usually thought if it comes down to the kicker to win the game that we weren’t going to do it. So rather than rely on that, just get it in the end zone. Now, that sounds trite, but there’s a lot of mentality there.”


I may be misreading this, but I think Jerry loves the kid.

It’s the “Jones Culture”. If Jerry loves you, you don’t have to have success. Just look at the HC the Jones family keeps pretending is “special”. The Emperor has no clothes.

Oh and I'm taking 99, you can have 1 million.

That is one of the dumbest things he's ever said and it's obvious he still feels this way.
It's emotional. One would expect a REAL GM to be analytical not emotional.

Headline could have said, “Coach Jones drivels on again about nothing.”

 

[eromeopolk]

Asthma Field for Maher and Jones.

Titans released Santos after he missed 4 FGs in their 14-7 loss on Sunday. They replaced him with the guy who missed the game-winner for Chicago in last season's playoffs.

It appears the Reliable Kicker Store isn't open in October.

Had he been drinking when he spoke to him?

We wouldn’t have to cut Maher. But I still don’t understand why they wouldn’t at least bring a couple of kickers in to kick the tires. Apparently “Coach Jones” isn’t comfortable with that yet.

 

[atlantacowboy]

Jerry Jones refers to the false security Dan Bailey provided before his regression. He also infers the team, at one time, had either the self-confidence or directive to score touchdowns instead of hoping for field goals.

It is definitely Jones voicing a lack of confidence self-observation in Maher. It is also Jones transparently suggesting the offense should start scoring touchdowns consistently and make Maher a minor luxury for the team.

Thats the cool thing about Jerrish. It can mean whatever you want it to mean. We could interpret it as you did OR it could be interpreted as we should start going for it on 4th down since we don't know where the ball is going when Maher kicks it. The whole calculus of what to do on 4th down changes when your FG kicker is a 50/50 proposition. Just ask Saban.

I have posted on this subject before and I took a lot of heat, but there is no reason why the team didn’t bring in several kickers to look at during the offseason. It looks like Maher was given the job and they refuse to consider upgrading the position. Maher has not had to compete for his job in any way against anybody. Maher is a CFL castoff, but I guess that is good enough for the Cowboys. I guess he is cheap and that is all that matters.

 

[mrmojo]

Well to be fair, Jerry literally doesnt know if the ball is going to go through or not after a few Johnny Walker Blues.....
