Twitter: Stephen Jones: "Your Goal As A Play Caller Should Be To Get Into 3rd And Shorts"

Check out this scheme.........

Hmmm, are we seeing the Jones’ way of pushing KM out the freakin’ door?

 

[offlimits]

To call a player like Elliott you just need a dinner bell…

I just hope he crates his pitbull.

I always thought that the goal of a play caller was to get points (or stop the other team from getting them). Silly me.

3rd and short has what sort of conversion rate? Maybe 66%? So, on average, you're going to be punting after making 2 or 3 of those conversions.

I'd really like to see a center sneak against the bengals. That will take them by surprise!

I thought that was the play they called in the Playoffs last year

Crap like this is why I'm slowly losing interest in following this team. I've been a Cowboys fan my whole life, but the team just seems doomed. It's not fun to be a Cowboys fan anymore.

How do you think I feel never having tasted success?

If you can't convert 3rd downs, you won't score many points.

The average thingie doesn't work that way. Way too many factors involved.

Cowboys last Super Bowl win was 1995

1996 was the season Rowdy became the official mascot of the Cowboys.

Coincidence? I think not!!!

 

[Mr_437]

why is he still talking?

 

[leeblair]

Ignorance.

 

[Flamma]

I guess 3rd and shorts is better than sharting in shorts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I honestly never heard it said that way. But you would be right as well

 

[TwentyOne]

WOW. Thanks for that advice!

With SJ i am learning everyday something new. It valuable again to log into the internet.

Anyways..... comes a bit late to save my career. I just wish i had a coach who would have told me that :-(

 

[slick325]

This dude is still talking? The EVP of the team? Sit down somewhere Stephen. Smh

He's turning into his old man.

Maybe we see MM take over playcalling. Or we find another OC. And a new O-Line coach

 

[TequilaCowboy]

If as an OC, your goal is to be 3rd and short.....then you are calling a very conservative game; which means you will have the defense all up on the LOS. And you are depending on long 12 to 15 play drives. Good luck with all that because you are gonna need it. Chuckles should stick to what he knows best, which i am not really sure what it is.....but i do know EVP in charge of Player Personnel is not one of them. Mark it off your list. Good thing you got your Daddy's trust fund to fall back on.

 

[links18]

Did he mention what the goal of a thoracic surgeon might be? He knows about that subject as much as football, I imagine.

 

[Pantone282C]

I have no clue how this team can't find success with geniuses like this in charge.

Didn't fall far from the tree...

 

[FTWayne]

wow, with information like this, he should be a head coach somewhere.

 

[Toro9]

Yeah, if Cooper Rush is your QB
