Stephen Jones podcast with Ed Werder, doesn't seem happy with JG

[xwalker]

Lol..conspiracy mister is back, Garrett never deflected blame, he said Dak needs to get better(do you not agree?) Garrett also said in his interview that as coaches they have to be better as well, I don’t understand how you missed that.

More than one set of Garrett comments this offseason.

 

[Super_Kazuya]

Overrating the talent and shifting the blame down to the staff/field seems to be about what I would expect from the “director of player personnel”.

 

[bayeslife]

I like Stephen.

That’s blasphemy around these parts you best be careful

 

[Vinnie2u]

Eagirls winning a Super Bowl might be a positive thing. Seems like the organization is showing a sense of urgency.

 

[Zordon]

I'm telling ya, Stephen won't touch JG while Jerry is alive.
But I suspect he'll clean house when it's his time to....

or I've watched too many mob movies.

 

[HardHittin'Witten]

I listened to it too. He said they all weren’t satisfied and expected more including Jason.
Nothing was said that gives you the impression they aren’t satisfied with Garrett. Think that has been overstated here.

 

[DallasDW00ds0n]

If he was really mad, he wouldn't still be HC

 

[Risen Star]

The problem with Stephen's "shot" at Jason Garrett is you have to respect Stephen's ability to evaluate talent for his words to mean anything and if you do respect it you live in a fantasy land. I'd sooner take workout tips from him.

All I ever read here is how we haven't had a defense worth anything for years and yet our Director of Personnel is saying this team should be in the playoffs every year and competing for championships. Something doesn't compute there. This half a team is underachieving, apparently.

He follows up that gem by comparing Dak friggin Prescott to Troy Aikman. I repeat. Rayne Dakota I can't see the field nor make the throws Pres-friggin-cott to Troy Aikman.



(This space reserved for reflection of the level of dumb that is. Soak it in.)



Oh, and for the cherry on top, he reaffirms his commitment to the way they do things being the right way to do them. Despite the Super Bowl Champions doing it a completely different way. They zigged, we zagged, Stevey feels good that zag was the right choice.

This is the most powerful voice in the ear of our lunatic and equally clueless and fake General Manager.

sounds to me like Stephen stole the bottle of johnny walker blue from his dad's office

 

[visionary]

Stephen watched Philly happen without its starting QB, LT, MLB, RB, and CB.

The Dak stuff was based purely on hope. There is nothing about Dak so far that remotely resembles Troy Aikman. Troy had a powerful and accurate arm and he was most comfortable in the pocket. That is the polar opposite of Dak.

Exactly, I almost spit my drink when I read that

This is the "football guy" who think Dak is like Troy?

Maybe Stephen was sleeping while Troy was playing

My god !!

 

[buybuydandavis]

I think Garrett would already be gone if Stephen was calling all the shots. Too bad he's not.

Garrett is Jerrystein's Monster. He wants Garrett to be his post Jimmy legacy for the Cowboys, the Landry he made. He's delusional that way.

 

[buybuydandavis]

Has huge confidence in Dak and thinks he is a franchise QB. He said his style of play compares more closely to Troy Aikman rather than Tony Romo. Dak is better running a system than improvising on the fly.

People are missing the point and getting their panties in a wad.

Aikman was a system player and not an improvisational player, while Tony was Romodini. That's all he's saying. He's not saying that Dak is identical in every way to Aikman.

 

[Dre11]

I would argue that Wade Phillips did just as much in a much shorter window.

But still won nothing.

 

[Dre11]

Dre 11 I respectfully disagree. If your boss says they have underperformed with the talent on the roster and they have not handled adversity well then who/what else would he be referring too? Sure at the end of the day the players have to make the plays but that seems like it would be directed directly at the HC. Who knows maybe I'm wrong, it sure won't be the first time or the last.

He said the team underperformed, then naming everyone who were not satisfied including Garrett. Now the talent is a whole other conversation, because after the starters they fall off the cliff in talent.

 

[Dre11]

More than one set of Garrett comments this offseason.

So is he never suppose to say someone needs to improve? You’ll cry when he’s bland and need to hold players accountable, then when he does, he’s shifting blame...lol

Your confused.

 

[Dre11]

Your confused.

I’m not confused. The flip flopping crew is confused.

I was listening to the Domsday Podcast with Matt Mosley and Ed Werder last night. Werder did a one on one interview with Stephen which lasted a solid 20 minutes. I found some of what he said pretty interesting especially in regards to the JG:

Team has underperformed given the talent level and should be perennial playoff contenders and competing for championships.

Team has not handled adversity well and zero excuses for injuries/no Zeke. He said injuries are a part of every NFL teams season and you have to adapt on the fly, mentioned the way the Eagles responded and not just at QB.

No position is off limits in the first round except for probably QB/RB and will take BPA/highest player ranked on their board if it's close. He said teams get in trouble when they reach due to need.

Has huge confidence in Dak and thinks he is a franchise QB. He said his style of play compares more closely to Troy Aikman rather than Tony Romo. Dak is better running a system than improvising on the fly. He anticipates Daks next contract to resemble franchise QB money.

He is pleased with the FA moves done so far. He still believes 100% in the philosophy of building through the draft and that most free agents are vastly overpaid. He did admit that last year they did a poor job in FA.

No word on Z. Martins contract. Had very little to say about Dez, only that he thinks very highly of him as a player and a person and they will be getting together soon to talk.

Maybe because it was a one on one podcast with Werder, Stephen sounded more relaxed and less defensive with the Q&A. What really jumped out at me was his indirect shot at JG. When you talk about a team underperforming and not handling adversity well that speaks directly to the HC. This is a far cry from the lollipops and rainbows talk his father usually uses in regards to JG. If this has already been posted I missed it and sorry for rehashed info. Oh and don't shoot the messenger.
