Stephen says they just have to chop wood

[BobSacamano]

If Stephen had a different face, I could probably let this one go.

But his face. Needs fist. A couple, hundred times.

 

[MonkeymanWoes]

5 weeks into the season and we need an identity…ok.

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.”

There are two large pieces of DEAD WOOD in the Front Office that beg to be chopped...

Didn't I say just yesterday that Jack Del Rio might be a good choice as a defensive consultant, given the coaches' relative inexperience on the defensive side?

Didn’t you?

If you have worked in the corporate world, you will have undoubtedly heard corporate lingo. New terms or reusing of old terms come around every once in a while and before you know it the whole office is using it.

Things like:

Keep me posted
Back to the drawing board
Circle back
We need to pivot
We need to be in alignment
Synergies
Take it offline
Need the 30,000 ft view

The Jones have their own lingo, what I call Jingo. It's a form of country bumpkin hick speak mixed with corp lingo. It cracks me up to hear them mix and match stuff.

 

[Blackrain]

Has he ever even gotten wood?

Be serious now Stephen has never even made a fire.

You know he never burned his eyebrows and learned how much gas to pour on it.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

Makes you excited about the future.

 

[HungryLion]

The man has literally never succeeded in his job. How can he say he's disappointed with a straight face? This is his normal. If he was honest, he would say " I don't know what's going on and I can't explain it" after a win.

And “I don’t really care because I’m headed home to my mansion and own everything I could possibly ever want to own and this is just a hobby for me”

 

[LonnieElam]

What does that even mean?

He doesn't even know what it means, and whatever it means in his head, he's never done that himself a day in his life.

 

[BigD5]

Who care what this loser has to say? Quit interviewing him and his dad. We don’t care. Who tunes in for this crap? At this point nobody should give a rats a r se what the Jones have to say about anything!! Unless it’s to announce they are dead or selling the team

 

[CowboyChris]

I'm all for it, let Jerry, Stephen and staff chop wood for a whole week

 

[QuikZ06]

lol, we would have chopped down the rain forest by now.

Well, there's some truth to that, though if you've supposedly been chopping wood you should have something to show for it. Improvement isn't too much to ask for.

Chop wood? Can someone please translate "hillbilly" talk?

This organization just needs a new GM.
Screw the chopping g.and the wood

It basically means hard work pays off.

Thank you!

 

[JoeKing]

Stephen Jones, please tell your dad to stop chopping wood. He's just making matters worse.

It's not that DAL lost the game, it's that Tampa put BTA and destroyed DAL. From the national backlash they are getting from the media and fans this may be the final straw.
