"Emmitt Smith is a luxury, not a necessity" - 1993 - Spoken during Emmitt Smith's holdout. He would miss the first two games in which the Cowboys went 0-2. After returning, Emmitt would lead the Cowboys to their 2nd consecutive Super Bowl championship while becoming the game's MVP.
"At the end of the day, this is about finding the best way to collectively fit all of the individual pieces together, in terms of talent, offensive players, defensive players and dollars--under the salary cap structure--that gives you the best chance to have a championship team." - 2015 - Explaining why he didn't resign Demarco Murray, 1st team All Pro, leading NFL rusher and holder of the Cowboys record for most rushing yards in a season.
"The biggest threat probably to DeMarco's stats is Joseph Randle.......But make no mistake about it, (Randle) can be effective out there, too." - 2015 - Explaining how the 2015 season will be even better for the Cowboys running attack than Murray's record breaking season in 2014.
"He can play with that injured toe. He can play with the soreness and a combination of those things. I see nothing that led us to believe he couldn't." - Dr. Jones was expressing disappointment that Marion Barber was injured while questioning whether or not he was too injured to play. Barber is considered one of the toughest RB's ever to play for the Cowboys.
“He’s a violent runner. He runs with great skill… I’m so proud for him. He’s finally put together the running back he can be. He’s outstanding. It just really gives us a 1-2 punch in there.” - 2024 - Expressing his satisfaction in the Cowboys running game in 2024. The Cowboys running game is currently ranked last in average yards per carry, last in total rushing yards, and 2nd to last in rushing TD's.
“I think Pollard played well. He’s someone that I would have thought that would have had more impact for us in the games we didn’t play well in.” - 2023 - Discussing his disappointment that Pollard didn't have a bigger impact in games the Cowboys lost. Pollard came back from a very bad injury to have a thousand yard season despite being the only productive back on the team that season. In his most recent game with the Titans, Pollard had 17 carries for 93 yards, including a 23 yard carry for a TD on 3rd and 17. He is currently averaging 4.3 yards a carry while Zeke is averaging 3.0 yards a carry.
