Jones wants Dez Bryant targeted even 'when he's double covered'

[RS12]

Jones understands getting Bryant the ball is not an option if the Cowboys want to win on Sunday.

"I think it's self-evident. He does need to get involved early. He seemingly has a little habit if he's not involved early it coincides at least with what happens at the end of the second half. All of that is pretty apparent. I know for a fact our staff, and certainly in that case Dez, would be aware of putting that kind of attention to him."

So adamant is Jones to see Bryant get the ball, he's willing to see rookie Dak Prescott fire into double coverage if necessary.

"I think you use his [Bryant's] physicality. You use his ability to just win and you have to get the ball to him when he's double covered."

Prescott was forthright this week in saying 'if Dez is the read, Dez is the read'. The translation is he won't force the issue and will take what the defense is giving him.

Jones and Prescott have different takes on what needs to happen with Bryant target-wise, and the irony is neither is incorrect.

Thanks Coach

We're so lucky that we have a rich oil man that can evaluate talent and coordinate the offense drunk on that Blue!

While Jerry said this using the english language, the actual meaning is completely indecipherable.

was he trite?

 

[GoCowboysGo]

We will not run the ball much vs WAS. Hijolé

 

[SHAMSzy]

I agree Jerry

 

[Idgit]

One, Jerry is an idiot when he pulls this stuff.

Two, I believe they do have situations where they expect Dez to be able to beat double coverage, and he probably is the read in some of those situations. That's not the same thing as saying you force the ball to Dez despite the coverage.

 

[strollinruss]

So after we win Sunday and Dez has 150 yards receiving, JJ will look like a prophet.

 

[Wolfpack]

Maybe Coach Jones, he shouldn't be stuck in a poor system which forces him to run go routes all day.

 

[Jinxx13x]

Looks like JJ was checking out our forums while drinking Johnny walker Blue lol

 

[robjay04]

While regardless of what you think about Jerry, he is absolutely right. This team has to find a way to get the ball to him early and often if we expect to win football games.

 

[KJJ]

That will lead to forced throws and INT's.

 

[Daillest88]

Attack the middle. Throw dez screens, just get the damn ball in his hand

 

[black label]

 

[Jinxx13x]

I agree with target dez more But I vehemently disagree with Jones saying it publicly ! Just send them our playbook while your at it Jerry

 

[CATCH17]

its now official...garrett has been told...get dez the ball, and garrett will oblige 100%

I'm using Dez in a lot of daily fantasy.. Volume for Dez means a big game.. Decoy mode means struggle to win.

 

[mattjames2010]

Last thing I want is Dak throwing into double coverage. If Dez is doubled, the other WRs better beat their man.

This is when meddling Jones gets under my skin. Geez... Let the team go win a game. Stay far far away from a mic pls.....

At least he's not walking the sidelines any more... But this is just as bad imo.
