says @usbankstadium is loud, but will not say that was the issue with the #Cowboys' play Thursday.
you just can't have penalties offset your big plays. He's impressed how they overcame that and the turnovers
he admires Ron Leary for being professional this off-season despite wanting to be traded.
On @1053thefan Jerry Jones says the #Vikings were almost daring the #Cowboys to throw to Dez Bryant Thursday night.
NFL officials Thursday night were "inconsistent with their calls, and that was frustrating."
he doesn't know what Geoff Swaim's injury has anything to do with Zeke's inability to get 100 lately.
the #Giants game next Sunday night "has the makings of a playoff game."
La'el Collins and Chaz Green bring great position flex to the #Cowboys.

Jerry Jones: Dak's "taking what is there." Mentioned so few turnovers. "He's been outstanding at going to the right place with the ball."
Jerry Jones asked on @1053thefan about possibility of La'el Collins playing OT. Doesn't sound like it's happening. Cowboys like him at guard

I would love to see Collins at RT. Either way I love how he's coming back.

[Ranching]

Use Collins as TE.

If they were daring us to throw at Dez, why did Dez have so limited chances.

 

[Direwolf63]

Darn right we are!

 

[CATCH17]

I really wish someone would ask him about Tapper.

 

[lkelly]

So this guy's girlfriend showed up?

 

[LandryFan]

If they were daring us to throw at Dez, why did Dez have so limited chances.

The fact that we only had 49 total offensive plays might have something to do with that. As a percentage of all plays, I think his number of targets was probably about right. Admittedly, I don't know how many targets he had, only that he had four catches.

By saying La'El is coming back, it is saying the same thing as Tapper isnt.

Love Collins, but Leary is better than Collins.

 

[Carson]

Collins stunk it up earlier this year. Let him sub packeages and keep rolling with Leary

Dez often had a safety over top. As usual.

Regardless of the amount of plays, evidently within those 49, Dez had more opportunities than 4

Love Collins, but Leary is better than Collins.

If they used the same logic with Romo, then Collins doesn't see the field. Leary is playing a lot better. Don't mess up chemistry.

I agree, this isn't a bad idea

As I stated, he had more than 4 targets (I think he had 7, but I don't know the exact number), it's just that he only caught 4 of them. If he had 7 targets, that's 14% of all offensive plays run. Could they have targeted him more? Probably...but I don't recall them showing any replays of Dez being ignored while running open. Replays did, however, showed several times where Dez was well covered.
