Twitter: Jerry Jones on The Fan - 12/6/16

[Sportsbabe]

I have filtered out some of the Jerry stuff that was tweeted for the meat and potatoes of the segment.

Troy Hughes™ ‏@TommySledge 23m23 minutes ago
Jerry Jones on being flexed VS Bucs, "If their is a hardship, it'll be for our fans" ... I don't think they mind,
Jerry Jones says the team will not rest its starters, "It will be business as usual" #DallasCowboys

Roy White III ‏@RDubThree 24m24 minutes ago
Jerry on @1053thefan Dak and Zeke leading Pro-Bowl votes - “Part of winning in the NFL is having that type of fan support and visibility."
Jerry on @1053thefan on resting starters - “No. I see us more as business as usual.” What it does allow you to do is to not push injuries.
Jerry on @1053thefan - “Claiborne is doubtful. Durant is not. We’ll see how the week goes, but we’re planning on Durant and Wilcox."
Jerry on @1053thefan on Jaylon Smith - “He’s everything you would hope he’d be. He’s so committed in his physical work…But also a leader."

Biggest Pro Bowl question for Cowboys is why Zack Martin isn't leading NFC guards.
Jerry Jones says on @1053thefan that Ezekiel Elliott is a better runner than week 1, Dak has more snaps and defense is better.
Not sure how defense is better but that's what Jerry Jones said on

Joe Trahan ‏@JoeTrahan 27m27 minutes ago
Jerry Jones says Ezekiel Elliott brought a ton of energy and great attitude to the team's Christmas party last night.

David Helman ‏@HelmanDC 20m20 minutes ago Dallas, TX
Jerry Jones says on @1053thefan that he's optimistic Justin Durant & J.J. Wilcox will be available for Sunday against the Giants.

Jon Machota ‏@jonmachota 20m20 minutes ago
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said on @1053thefan that they had Ray Lewis talk to the team yesterday

Boooo Ray Lewis.

 

[xwalker]

Cuz he understands and delivers messages like this. And is incredibly respected by players around the league.



I'd bet he said something similar to our young team.

They gotta show him respect or he kill dem.

 

[Sportsbabe]

He told them they can have it all and get away with it if your posse can step up and cover for you.

He also told them Tony wasn't sincere about turning over the team to Dak. I guess Jerry should have run that one by his other golden boy.

Maybe he can get OJ Simpson to do it next week.

When Ray Lewis says go kill the other team he means it literally.

Speaking of the christmas party. I saw big rob on twitter...(mavs dancer/cowboys fan guy and accountant) post of video of the christmas party and the band playing with Dak and Zeke on stage grinding on the singer..she was in between them and dak was yelling into the mic while she was singing...pretty crazy visual.

He immediately took it down. Smart on his part.

I have to say the double standard on what dak can do and what romo was not able to do is pretty odd. Romo got hammered for singing don't stop believing with a tribute band while at a bar with his friends in LA in the summer of 07.....the whole world came down on him for that.

Dak and Zeke can grind on the singer at the christmas party though. Kind of annoying. I hope no one else posts vids of it because it will become espn and and NY media fodder.

The look is bad, Biggest game of the year and these guys are doing that on monday night...Romo would be absolutely destroyed for this.

 

[xwalker]

Ray Lewis....What? Puke.

This guy was on tv bagging on all the players in that locker room for the last two years.

How does something random like that happen?

I don't know how Ray Lewis is a hero and Greg Hardy is a villain.

 

[The Natural]

jesus christ get over yourselves, no problem at all with Ray speaking to the team and I'm sure his message didnt fall on deaf ears

 

[mrmojo]

Id rather have Hollywood Henderson give the team a motivational speech than Ray "It wasn't me" Lewis.

 

[theebs]

He also told them Tony wasn't sincere about turning over the team to Dak. I guess Jerry should have run that one by his other golden boy.

pretty crazy isn't it.

The guy has said non factual crap about the cowboys for two years on espn and now he is talking to the same group of players as a motivational speaker?

Makes zero sense.

 

[DenCWBY]

Thanks for the summary, WG.

Good to hear that Wilcox and Durant could be in the mix this weekend. Also, it's baffling that ZMart isn't at the top given that he's been our best lineman on the best unit in football!

What puts Zack over the top IMO is his favorite all time movie, "True Grit" - The old version with the Duke.

 

[theebs]

Word is... they're the life of the party. lol Posting pics now.

I understand. I have heard it about zeke over and over.

Still though, the video of the two of them grinding the singer together and yelling in the mic the week of the biggest game of the year is a bad look.

If romo even went on the stage and it got out the whole world would stop down to take a shot at him.

Hell, I have espn on this morning and damien woody said matt ryan has become tony romo making the losing late game critical errors and max kellerman said romo was never once good enough to start a pro bowl. So even when he is not playing Romo is a lightning rod.

I really hope no one else posts that video.

good thing we dont have to worry about that since Romo aint playing anymore huh

 

[robbieruff]

He is respected like Deion Sanders is. Most didn't see him play and only know him because they are such self promoters. Whatever he has to say means nothing to this Dallas team.

Gotcha. So a HOFer and two time SB winnner's message means nothing to a team with championship aspirations. Ok man.

 

[robbieruff]

I'm sorry but if a player like Witten can't motivate you then ......

So Witt is a two time SB winner???

 

[theebs]

Yea that guy sucks anyway. We are going everything and 1 for the rest of time.

 

[robbieruff]

They gotta show him respect or he kill dem.

Possibly. I thought my dad might kill me from time to time. Better believe there was some respectful fear there.

 

[DenCWBY]

Jerry on @1053thefan on resting starters - “No. I see us more as business as usual.” What it does allow you to do is to not push injuries.

I'm still trying to understand how playing the starters, "business as usual" will allow you less injuries?

 

[CATCH17]

I understand.

Hell, I have espn on this morning and damien woody said matt ryan has become tony romo making the losing late game critical errors and max kellerman said romo was never once good enough to start a pro bowl. So even when he is not playing Romo is a lightning rod.

I really hope no one else posts that video.

So weird that he has that perception when it's not the reality at all.

I guess because the Cowboys stage is bigger his losses in the 4th quarter are bigger. Weird.

If you graded every QB with this no room for error scale the NFL would be nothing but QB's that create critical late game errors.

 

[theebs]

Gotcha. So a HOFer and two time SB winnner's message means nothing to a team with championship aspirations. Ok man.

exactly right. Less than nothing is how i would phrase it.

 

[Stryker44]

I want to see footage of Jones evaluating players and in the war room on draft day.
