News: Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys Going All In To Win

[WPBCowboysFan]

That what you're saying is true

You're not alone . . . . . .

 

[DandyDon52]

Marinelli was considered one of the better DC's by Cowboy fans and the NFL in general one season ago. He didn't just forget how to coach.

not saying he forgot how to coach. and last year the offense made it easy for him.
I was watching the buffalo game again, and it was 3rd and 17 , marinelli rushes only 3 has 8 in his zone coverage,
'and tyrod has plenty of time to find a guy for 24 yards and a 1st down !!!!!
Explain to me how that is great coaching ??

 

[DandyDon52]

Jerry goes all in every year, they need to build to something.

I am perfectly fine with an offseason dedicated to defense.

The Broncos turned around their defense in one offseason so it can be done. I do believe that anyone who truly believes we are going QB at 4 will be very disappointed. This doesn't seem like a franchise that is ready to throw a premier pick at a player that will not be a projected starter until his third season.

But the point for Denver was they turned their defense around with FAs.

I think we need to fix the offense.

This offense needs a RB and a WR to add firepower to the team.

We have to average more than like 13 pts a game.

Even when Romo is healthy..we are all too often playing close games in 4th Qts. we stand to lose as much as win.

Defense can be fixed with FA signings. We have the cap.

Use it.

Draft to fix the offense..score points and control the TOP.

Keep the defense on the sideline and not exposed.

We win games.

When people want to compare Carolina and Denver as the standards..

don't forget how powerful their offenses are game in and game out.

Just to add a touch on the running back situation. Dallas needs a running back that can better exploit an area blocking scheme, that this offensive line blocks top shelf. That can be achieved in free agency and up to the third round area in the draft.

You know..

I don't play that game about where they are picked in the draft for value.

Select the best player for the position you need and don't worry about whether it was 1, 2, or 3 on your draft board.

4 years from now..the only thing that matters is did they win.

Nobody cares where you drafted them..only that you got them.

I laugh at people who buy into Mel Kiper and his invention of 'value'.

Until he came along to create the concept to make money on the draft..

it was never a consideration.

Now everybody thinks they know a player's VALUE.

Unbelievable.

The value is drafting players to fit your schemes and coaching.

That's what NE does..that's what Denver does..it's something we have no clue how to do.

When this team lead the NFL under Landry..

it was because we had schemes and Landry fit players to that scheme and we kept winning.

We had a multiple offense and a flex defense and we just kept adding players to fit.

Anymore..we jump around from 3-4s to 4-3s,,

from 2 TE offenses to short passing attacks..

whatever.

It's no wonder we have no consistency.

I'm looking to garner three starters in the first two rounds...

Most every game in the NFL is close in the fourth quarter. Even without Romo, we were in 9 of our 12 losses going into the fourth. I believe our offense is plenty good enough if we had better play from QB. Sure we could use some upgrades but the urgency isn't there.

As for your last part...Denver had a horrible offense, almost as bad as us. Even in the super bowl, they were bad. They had a negative turnover ratio and Matt Cassel was better on the stat sheet than Peyton Manning. Their running game was also wildly inconsistent. Even the Panthers offense was questionable, they got better as the season went on but if you take Cam from the equation, their offense would be just as lost as ours without Romo.

2014 we were 5th in the league in scoring.

2015 we didn't have Romo or Dez.

We need to fix the other side of the ball.

 

[Risen Star]

We were united in delight at seeing Ware win a Championship?

Why am I always the last to know these things? I didn't feel one iota of happiness for him. In fact, I wish he never won it in another uniform. Why the heck would I celebrate that? I don't player worship. I root for the laundry and logo.

Jerry's not worth commenting on anymore. Tick tock. Tick tock.

Exactly!

 

[CCBoy]

Exactly!

My friend, I would be completely at ease with a complete draft on the defensive side of ball.

 

[cowboyblue22]

when jerry resigns and hires a gm and he hires a real nfl head coach then you will know the cowboys are finally all in about winning.

 

[MaineBoy]

Nobody said it worked
He said they tried
The RB position worked out ok, but there was no way to know you would lose tony and dez
Yes, they failed at backup QB but not because they didn't try but because they signed a bad player they thought could resurect his career

Jerry, is that you ? See, this is why Jerry gets away with this circus every year:

"they failed at backup QB but not because they didn't try"
So everyone on Planet Earth knew Weeden sucked before he got here, and it was PROVEN he still sucked in the Cardinal game last year. But all Jerry talked about was how beautiful a ball Weeden threw and how he had total confidence in him ! So you give Jerry the GM credit for "trying" even though he was the only earthling that didn't realize Weeden sucked and come up with a better plan ?

"His plan didn't work but it wasn't because he didn't care about winning". Okay, let's do a little role play to help you through this. So Jerry is still the owner for the last 20 years but let's pretend he has a magical friend named "Jethro" who was the GM. Now Jethro the GM has sucked for the last 20 years; only 1 playoff win, usually 8-8 teams or worse, wasted #1 draft pics for players that never worked out, many lousy first round draft pics and drafts, hired a succession of mediocre coaches, etc....And after this 20 year run Jerry doesn't fire Jethro. So does Jerry the owner really care about winning ?

I think jerry cares about winning as much as any owner and more than many of them
His plan didn't work but it wasn't because he didn't care about winning. It was because he gambled on a backup QB he shouldn't have and had major injuries to two key players

 

[PoundTheRock]

Jason Garrett's still here, so apparently not.

I wanted them to lose BECAUSE of Ware. I'm that bitter.

Evidently not everyone though he sucked since he went to Houston after leaving Dallas. Now I do agree with the GM job comes blame when things do not go well and as GM Jerry should take the heat I have never had an issue with that. Only issue I have are those who will praise certain moves that are made that they do agree with yet will come up with some lame notion that Jerry had nothing to do with it, but when a player does not pan out well that belongs to Jerry. People want to hate on jerry but do not have the balls to credit when moves are made that they like.

I think Jerry does care about winning more than you think. Does not mean that if Jerry does not do things as you feel should be done that he somehow does not care about winning.

I'd like to agree except we unfortunately have the past 20 years as an inconvenient truth: in the last 20 years when Jerry had a choice between doing the single biggest thing to help us win (getting a real football professional to be our GM, letting him pick a real head coach who isn't a puppet, allowing the head coach to pick his own assistants), or doing it his way (being the GM), Jerry always chose his need to be "the man" doing it his way over winning. And still does. Sorry, but there are Jerry's words and there are Jerry's actions. The owners like Kraft, Rooney, Mara show me they care more about winning by letting football professionals run their teams than Jerry flapping his gums like a carnival barker and crying in to his pillow. The sad part is that Jerry was at his best as an owner when he let Jimmy and Parcels do the football stuff while he signed the checks. Since then, we've been cursed that an old, narcissistic, billionaire uses our team like his own personal toy. And OP, did not mean any disrespect in my original reply, it's just the Jerry drives me so crazy !!
