Jerry Jones comment...

[jazzcat22]

I did not hear it all, but did anyone hear a quick comment from JJ on the ticker ticker.

Someting about if it looks like players in FA, the price is set too high from the begining, they may keep the money in the pocket. Because they spent quite a bit last year in which they didn't need to spend.

I like this quote from Jerry:

Are you disappointed Bill Parcells didn't get it done? Frustration is not the word. I am disappointed. I am not frustrated. We are a better team than we were when Bill got here. Some of his philosophy, some of what he is about will be a part of us for a long time, forever as far as my decision-making is concerned. He does some things with his coaching that I really believe in. So there is no frustration. It's just we see where we were short. We were short on finishing. In my mind we can correct that.

Great, another year of below average OL play on the way.

Yeah like Hutchinson last year... Hes good and one of the best dont get me wrong but the guy just isnt worth the money he got paid in my opinion.

We overpaid on several FA's last year. I just hope he doesn't do his knee-jerk overreaction and do a complete 180 and not sign anyone of value this year.

We could really use a Steinbach and either a pass rusher or FS in FA.

He also did not end up being a difference maker with the Vikings.

Our $11 Million CB is still on the roster?

NO..it's not Newman.

This team needs a starting CB to help Newman.

Could be a smoke screen to not overpay or to keep the price down.

Exactly David.

That is why I would be for a Cooper Carlisle type guy to be brought in at G.

Every year someone suggest that's Jerry is "smoke screening" on either free agency or the draft and isn't it shocking when Jerry ends up doing exactly what he says he is going to.

I could see us spending big money on one of those positions in FA... but not more than one.

I hope we get at least one of those needs filled in FA. We have the cap room. I don't want us to overspend like Danny, but if we can fill a need we should do it.

I don't think he wants another Marco Rivera

That was great.....

My post, (which was in response to the original post that Jerry would keep his money in his pocket concerning FA) suggested that he may have just said that with his intentions being to get a FA afterall.

Then your post seems to indicate that you don't feel that it is a smoke screen, meaning that Jerry indeed will keep his money in his pocket as he said he would, meaning I was wrong.

But then in your very next post you say ...

I could see us spending big money on one of those positions in FA... but not more than one.

So which is it ?

Name the last good offensive line built through high priced free agents.

Take a look at the good lines around the league and let me know how they were built (hint: I know and I have a thread about it).

Well, he keeps us guessing doesn't he? But at least it's something dicuss at this time of year.
