Stephen says they just have to chop wood

[Risen Star]

Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones on @1053thefan: “You got to go back to the drawing board and chop wood. Obviously so disappointing, to have it set up to be back for a home game, and be playing a game that most people expect you to win, and then we don’t get the job done. So, until we get that identity, until we get that confidence that we can go out and get the job done, we’ve got a lot of work to do around here.”

Put it on the poll...has Stephen ever chopped wood?

 

[Cowboys5217]

Yeah, Steve. We should trust you who has never justified his nepo-baby job with any meaningful results. Frankly, you don't know what real work actually is.

 

[CyberB0b]

What does that even mean?

Hope in one hand and you know what in the other

Time to put that log and axe in the locker room like Jack Del Rio did with the Jaguars about 20 years ago. Google it if you don't know what happened.

Its the result of years of listening to his father say random things but no one saying anything.

Has he ever even gotten wood?

 

[Captain-Crash]

dang that should get these guys ready for the playoff run.

How much wood would Stephen chop if a Stephen could chop wood

 

[InPhiltraitor]

Did Stephen just make a mixed metaphor by combing two idioms with the whole drawing board chopping wood thing? Just nothing eloquent about an idiot spouting idioms.

What’s the over/under on Stephen knowing which end the axe to hold to chop wood?

 

[CT Dal Fan]

Has he ever even gotten wood?

I'd rather not speculate.

Stevie never met a cliche he didnt love. You and daddio been at the drawing board and chopping wood so long there wouldnt be a forrest left in this country.

Years ago they used to say we have to grab our lunch pails. Then it changed to put our hardhats on. Now it's chopping wood. Basically saying a blue collar approach is the solution. Work hard and we'll get there.

[CanadianCowboysFan]

I would prefer chopping some players

 

[Catpappy]

How about a wood chipper

 

[exciter]

Maybe go into every as if you have to win instead of expecting to win.
This team has had the same issue for 30 plus years.
They expect a gimme game and get ***** slapped.
One day you'd think it'd set in there's no gimme's in this league!

Chop wood carry water actually means day to day stuff
