News: Stephen Jones critical of Dallas Cowboys stars after loss

[khiladi]

When does Jason Garrett ever have to be better Mr. Stephen Jones?

 

[Plankton]

It will end like it always does. Jerry Jones will talk about people getting "uncomfortable", being "taken to the woodshed" and the real issues with how this organization will be denied as he speaks to the man in the mirror.

Don't forget the allegory about having his credit card cut up at Love Field. Jerry was really humbled then.

 

[CATCH17]

He got the job as oc because he has a Princeton education and Is a former Dallas Cowboys qb, jj thought he was getting the next Sean Payton and in 2007 he seemed to be correct. After that year he got hc offers but it seemed the dc of the league got film on him and this offense hasnt been the same since.

And Sporano left as well.

Stephen Jones not once in his entire career has called out Jason Garrett... I think he loves himself some Garrett more than his father does by a long time. Back when Wade was about to be cut loose:

"I think in our organization everybody is taking responsibility, not just Wade," Stephen Jones said. "He does. He takes responsibility. The coaching staff takes responsibility. The players take it. We all take it. We're a team, we're an organization, and when we fall short we accept it as a team."

Now this clown is only calling out everybody, besides the guys he likes.

Sack was a give up by McCown. He made no plays. He was constantly over running the play and when he wasn't Bushrod was handling him.

Sack was not a give up. QB had nowhere to go and Ware was hot on his heels. I mean, I saw no other DLs there to collect a sack. Ware was the only DL applying pressure. I don't agree that he was getting handled but whatever.

Ware was close a half dozen times,but Casper the contract whisperer did nothing.

 

[khiladi]

Wait, are we trying to argue thar McCown was 'pressured' in this game, and that too, particularly by Ware?

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

He has a point but he needs to call his daddy and himself.

Well, that is NOT gonna happen. But at least the players will be called out as needed.

 

[Doomsay]

I agree...so many blame them for the losses anyway, why not? Was it Parcells that said "players play the game"?? Over simplification, but it's pretty lowbrow to blame the lousy play of players on guys who want to win at any cost. Then again, I heard the same crap in the heyday when the three Lombardis showed up in the 90's. It's only their fault if it goes bad. Crummy draft picks? That's Jones. Good ones? That's Coach ___. Losing season? Not lackluster performance - that's Jones' fault too. Paid for a marque name to help the team? Jones fault for mortgaging the future of the team if they aren't #1 in the league at their position. Don't go to the playoffs? Jones again...nevermind the other 25+ teams that didn't go either...that makes Jones the absolute worst GM/Owner in the league...he should fire himself for the good of the team

He is the 2nd worst GM in the league over the past decade and a half in terms of playoff victories, there is no denying his incompetence. Most GM's would have been fired 3-4 times in that span of failure - something that Jerry has essentially actually acknowledged himself.

 

[Floatyworm]

Lol he calls out Sean Lee? Of all the people to call out he calls out the only guy that lays his body out for the team game in game out? WOW

Well guess what????? He's right. Depending on a guy that can't stay on the field is kind of like marrying a stripper. Mighty fine to look @........But in the end....It's just gonna break your heart

Lol total give up sack. No doubt about it. It was his signature meaningless sack.

Bushrod had ware one on one all game.

 

[visionary]

So someone finally does something we've all wanted, and says something we've all been saying, and we talk bad about him? I'm glad Jones said those things, I just wish he would say it to the offense too. There were plenty of games this year where the defense saved the offenses' *** by adding to the point total with defensive touch downs, turnovers putting the offense right in scoring position etc, but everything's on the defense.

Can't have it both ways
Can't coddle the players and be buddy buddy with them and then call them out
The NFL is a business, owners, GMs and coaches need to treat players accordingly

The Jones twins and Garrett are the rot at the base of the franchise

 

[Don Corleone]

Lol he calls out Sean Lee? Of all the people to call out he calls out the only guy that lays his body out for the team game in game out? WOW

He's made of glass. What good is that?

 

[visionary]

Maybe Stephen should have done his part and gone down to the field to breath his hot liquored up breath on the players.

He was afraid to get too much of the secret sauce on them

 

[Section446]

A lot of our "stars" wouldn't be "stars" on most teams.

 

[Fletch]

Lol he calls out Sean Lee? Of all the people to call out he calls out the only guy that lays his body out for the team game in game out? WOW

Hey, I don't mind that he mentioned Sean Lee with the rest of the others. Everyone is on notice. Not just a handful of guys. Everyone.

 

[CyberB0b]

Hey, I don't mind that he mentioned Sean Lee with the rest of the others. Everyone is on notice. Not just a handful of guys. Everyone.

He should look in the mirror, then.

LOL I had two friends that dated strippers, what a nightmare.
