#Cowboys COO Stephen Jones tells @gbagnation the offense got into a good flow with Darren McFadden and the running game.
The defense did some good things, but they need to get better on obtaining takeaways.
he has no explanation why the turnovers are not there. Marinelli coaches it constantly.
La'el Collins did well. He brings a lot of athletic ability and youth to the table; did a lot of positives.
the offensive line did a great job of protecting Matt Cassel yesterday.
the #Cowboys will see where Joe Randle is health wise. He had back spasms yesterday.
#Cowboys didn't really need Joe Randle after Darren McFadden got hot and rolling against the #Giants.
#Cowboys know Dwayne Harris is a good football player. They thought Beasley was a better #3 WR though.
#Cowboys knew that Dwayne Harris would be missed, but unfortunately you have to make these decisions.
letting Dwayne Harris go was just a case "not getting to keep them all."
Greg Hardy's attitude is not something to be concerned about. And he's not the first to get frustrated.
Greg Hardy's outward frustrations are part of what help him be great. It's not an issue; teammates respect him
the team is still interested in a long term deal with Greg Hardy.
Greg Hardy is a guy that is interested in being involved in the community.
Morris Claiborne is having a really good year. He's gaining confidence and there's a "good chance" he returns
he was not nervous about Dez Bryant being on the sideline. "He's close to being able to play."
Dez Bryant is a very optimistic guy and it's good to have him around the football team right now.
You could see Byron Jones more and more at the safety spots.
Byron Jones has a big responsibility this week against Jimmy Graham. Did a good job against Rob Gronkowski.
Jeff Heath can bring something to the table at the safety position.
he has a lot of belief in the coaching staff, front office. Everybody believes in this football team.
the media has a good platform right now to be critical, but there are 0 thoughts of team not being together
the #Cowboys deserve to be 2-4 at this point.
he can't imagine Cole Beasley not being the punt returner against the #Seahawks.

"Zero, none at all" - Stephen Jones on if Greg Hardy actions are any concern at all.
"Absolutely" - Stephen Jones on if the team is interested in a long term deal for Greg Hardy.
"We know one thing, we need him on the football field." - Stephen Jones on Byron Jones getting more snaps.
"Yes I can't imagine he's not going to be" - Stephen Jones on if Cole Beasley is still the PR.

Wonder if they asked him if DMC will start next week. But probably would have been generic, and said depends on health of Randle.
When the correct answer is Yes, yes he should start.....

If he cant be our "safe" option, there's no point. He doesn't have the skill-set to be an effective returner.

I actually been more nervous with him fielding punts these past 2 games. I want to see Lucky back there now.
And by fielding punts, I mean fielding as in "fair" catches, or not catching in this last attempt.
As I certainly won't saying returning punts, so fielding more appropriate.

That pretty much says it all. Exactly what I expected and how the team should look at Hardy, Beasley, Harris, etc.

It's preposterous that Beasley can come out of training camp and be deemed the best option at punt returner on an NFL roster. We completely disregarded the importance of a returner once Harris was let go.

It is my fault FCB fumbled the punt. He must of heard me say that he better make a play or I will destroy my 55in TV. I would have gladly sacrificed my TV for a fair catch!

Dez needs to be returning punts once in awhile. Other coaches wouldn't be scared to out the best person for the job back there. I don't care about the contract he just got. We need better field position.

I have to admit.

I've been pleasantly surprised by Claiborne this year. He's not been awesome but he's not been terrible either. Actually been pretty decent.

I wonder if you could turn him into a S?

fantastic idea! and it would probably work really well. which means this coaching staff would never do it.

You know one of Church or Wilcox is struggling bad when Heath is brought up as an option for playing at safety.
