IRVING -- Life without Tony Romo hasn't been easy for the Cowboys. Executive vice president Stephen Jones is the first to acknowledge that.
"We feel like we should be doing better than what we're doing," Jones said. "We didn't expect to be setting the world on fire. But obviously we think we have to do better than go 0-5 without Tony. That's unacceptable. We have done better than that before without Tony so this is disappointing."
Jones, however, expressed faith in Matt Cassel, who passed for only 97 yards in a 13-12 loss to Seattle one week after throwing three interceptions in a defeat to the New York Giants.
"He had the big turnovers against the Giants and I think he was wanting to rectify that and do better," Jones said. "Was he a little too conservative? Maybe. Is there a middle ground in there? Probably. But I do like the way he's leading our team right now. We're close."
Still, Jones isn't thrilled with where the Cowboys stand.
"I think we're a better team than that," Jones said. "But as Bill Parcells used to say, around here you are what you are and we're 2-5 and we accept that and we're accountable to it. Obviously we didn't do some things as well as we should have or we wouldn't be sitting here."
