Jerry Jones to SAS on why the team did not go after Derrick Henry

[cowboys5xsbs]

"First of all, we might have a little difference as to what we were lacking the most. It is very common, matter of fact the rule, that when you look at a coming season, you've got some soft spots. In a football team. Or in a any team I think. So it's a question of, where do your resources, where do they need, the areas that need the most attention." "And candidly I thought in Zeke that we really had an opportunity. I know that, how badly he wanted to get back with the Cowboys. I personally thought that his work there in New England was better than maybe a lot of other people evaluated it. I thought he did carry the mail in some critical times for them." "...I have more belief that Zeke gives us what we need in our short yardage than maybe a lot of fans do."

Man, it'll be a sad day when Jerry is finally pushing daisies.

Just kidding.

This is the problem of your football team when the owner/GM is a Fan and or friend with a player, it clouds his judgement making decisions about players on the team, Zeke should have NEVER been resigned by this team..

 

[Rayman70]

Wow, we might be in for a long year. He ACTUALLY thinks Zeke is the answer, after we let him walk the season before.

 

[Coogiguy03]

Zeke was cheaper that's all!!!!!!

The fact he thinks Zeke is a good substitute for Henry today is crazy!

I hate Jerry with a passion. He needs to be put out to pasture already.

 

[ShortRound]

Loyal to his players to a fault.

It will be because then you'll have Goodwill Savers Shopper Stephen for another several decades at the helm.

Sum it up in one word "Cheaper"

 

[Setackin]

All hail the greatest GM in NFL history, the savior of Dallas, NO ONE can do it better than Jerry Jones.

 

[CWR]

So basically he's saying we needed to use our resources elsewhere and Zeke is good enough, should at least be an improvement in short yardage/goal line.

Funny I just watched a clip of Jones cutting Amendola yesterday. I'll put that one behind Jimmy Smith though.

Exactly.

I like how he highlighted short yardage as a point of emphasis. Hes right in that regard, Zeke will upgrade our short yardage situations, but thats not the reason to pass on a superior back and bring back a guy the rest of the league passed on.

Jerry obviously didn’t take a technical writing course at Arkansas. I did and the objective was to convey the most information with the fewest words. He could’ve simply said “Dak needed his bud and he was cheap.”
