Jerry: Offense is not a long term concern

Has not having Ezekiel Elliott contributed to some of the Cowboys' red zone issues early in the season?

Jerry Jones on @1053thefan: "Zeke's unique physicalness is always nice to have. It is very good to have. We think of physical on short yardage and we probably should. But I do not think that physicalness from the running back is contributing to us not getting in the end zone. It is not."

We've had no problems running it in when we are at the actual 1 yard goal line.

...the upside to this, Dallas seems to have no problem moving the ball to RZ.

Its adjusting the play-calling in that area. MM might be over thinking it.

So basically you guys were worried over nothing.

You feel silly right now.
I do now that Jerry has told us we have tge personnel, Mike has told us hes finally working on it after napping all off season and Dak and Parsons have told us there is no problem in the first place

Only 4 teams in the league have scored more points than the Cowboys.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones on @1053thefan: "I think the thing we need to zero in on is when we get that ball down in there close, we've got to get touchdowns. And that's probably across the board over these last three ball games. We got a long time to go in this season. We got a lot of room to really adjust and correct these things. While it's something to note, it's not a long-range concern."

Jones on if he's happy with the offensive changes so far: "I want to see more to use the word 'happy.' But let me be real clear, I think with what we're trying to do is really doable. We certainly have the personnel to execute on it. ... I give it a thumbs up. Let's go."

Jerry Jones, on the radio, is exactly like Charlie Brown's teacher. The audience never saw her either and all anyone heard was, "Blah blah blah blah blah."

Geez, I am glad Jerry's analytics uncovered the root cause of our red zone issue
