Video: Skip knows Jerry

[Stash]

It's still bad business to go into negotiations by publicly announcing a floor for yourself. I guarantee Jerry didn't become a billionaire by making deals that way. Then again, Stephen was born into it.

What it comes down to is neither of them can resist a microphone.

Absolutely!

I didn't get the same pleasant surprise by the Morris news that you did.

To me, it simply says more about "being comfortable". Morris was comfortable signing with the Cowboys. The Cowboys were comfortable signing a player they knew. And Elliott and Co are comfortable knowing that Morris poses no threat whatsoever to his role on the team.

I don't consider any of that to be good.

Don't get me wrong - I don't think Morris is Zeke's replacement should he hold out long term. I think Morris is more of a camp body and that the move represents a high degree of comfort.

I was surprised the FO moved so quickly. A bolder move would be to trade for a potential starter.

I think it's on the table, depending on how this holdout thing goes.

Yeah a bad signing.

 

[Stash]

Yeah a bad signing.

I'm not sure I'd call it "bad", but it doesn't move the needle. Doesn't lessen the dropoff if Elliott were to miss games for sure. And it doesn't send a message to Elliott either. Too many people get to stay comfortable. That's not a good thing.

I agree, should have signed someone else

Emmitt Smith did.

JJ was scared of Haley

I heard on the Talkin Cowboys show that this plan to sign Morris dates back to the draft. If they didn't draft any running backs, Morris was the fallback even then,

Far too often, it's about familiarity and comfort rather than getting the best option.

In this case, ownership gave leverage away. Some things are better left unsaid.

The Joneses are morons

In other news, water is wet

And why Jerry wearing multiple hats continues to be a conflict of interest for Cowboys Football.
