"An owner being in the locker room with an injured star is fine. An owner going to the sideline during a one-score game is preposterous. There were literally dozens of people who could have relayed that message to Garrett. But only one person could deliver the news with the not-so-subtle implications it carried.

By coming onto the sideline, Jones effectively neutered his head coach. Garrett toed the party line after the game, calling Romo’s return “a medical decision.” And, in Garrett’s defense, if Romo says he’s good to go, it’s hard not to listen.

But when the team owner comes to the sideline and informs his coach that Romo “would be back in,” what other choice does Garrett have but to put Romo back in the game? There’s no other option."

There is no question that at times, Jones tells the coaching staff who to play. Thats been common knowledge for years.

And when Jones is saying publicly to the national media that Zeke HAS to be featured, what are they going to do, not feature him? And do we really think he isnt making those same demands in meetings?

95% of Zoners have already given up on the season. “Jerry wasn’t prepared for Tyron going down.” “Jerry didn’t address the WR position.” Jerry didn’t do this or that. The fact is, Jerry doesn’t do any of that. It’s Will McClay and the coaching staff who address personnel decisions.

If you’ve paid attention to OTA’s, Mini Camps, training camp, inter-squad practices and preseason games you would see that the Cowboys are going to be a power running attack team. At least, initially. This is because teams like Tampa Bay are going to dare Dak to throw the ball. They figure that playing a rookie at LT, a JAG at LG, a JAG at C, a HOF at RG and a JAG at RT is a recipe for a win. They think all of this because of Zoner posters. You couch potatoes have no clue. There’s posters here that habitually crap on Dak, the offensive line, the coaching, Perception becomes reality.

In reality, the Cowboys are going to be a power running game. Preseason is preseason but they’ve been successful running the ball in every game. Without the starters. If you can run the ball in the NFL then your offense is going to be successful. If you can play defense like the Cowboys can with that power running offense then you can go far.

The unknown that everyone is overlooking is the QB, The many ignorant Zoners here pound their chests saying “What has he won!!!!!”. They don’t look at what he can do. They don’t look at his stats. They only look at the fact that “He hasn’t won squat”. Those are the ignorant losers who only come here to crap on Dak and or the Cowboys.
Let's tell the truth here. Drafting Tyler Smith in the 1st round was all about replacing Tyron Smith. The WR position has plenty of talent that Dak will exploit, including fresh TEs like Ferguson and Hendershot. This will be a potent offense. Then we have Dan Quinn's complementary defense that will be shutting down offenses from coast to coast all season long. Even STs has a new threat for teams to deal with in Turpin. I'm ready to see this season get going, Go, Cowboys! :flagwave:

Whether or not that happens I love your optimism . I feel like what you posted could just easily happen as the doom and gloom that seems to be so prevalent here lately

You have to be able to run the ball period. Otherwise the passing game doesn’t work Football 101. I suggest you guys get Football for Dummies. Y’all need it.

Wow Amber, cool your tits. Why all the name calling? I suggest you catch up with modern football and what’s really needed to win Super Bowls, but I don’t go around calling you a poppycock! No we listen to your nonsense and move forward. Come on man, grow up.

Using zone coverage in addition to not blitzing also seems to be a key factor. Check out these stats from CBS Sports.

For whatever reason, this combination of defensive moves seems to have had a profound effect on the Cowboys offense. And it’s not as simple as Prescott can’t read a defense, because that is patently false.

No it didnt...lol

problem with Zone coverage ,is recognition and accurate position passing is required to beat it, unfortunately Not Prescott’s cup of tea.
He wont let the ball go until he see visible distancing between WR and defender. This trait killed us in the 2nd half last year.

This offense isn't power anything. It used to be.

We used to have the #1 rb, #1 OL, one of the best wr groups. Now we have the opposite. Blame whomever you want but the lack of talent falls on the gm and his cheapo son.
