Makes undermining his coaches a “talking sport”, lol.
Or he sits in on all the meetings and he hears this right from the coaches and just passes it on to the fans what's the problem here it's a preseason game anyway got to obvious we're not going to see many starters...

I’m just having some fun here blue…it’s an opinion on an opinion forum. Your opinions are welcome too.

No way Cooks needs to play. Especially with Rush throwing him the ball.

Id give Gallup a few snaps, just for confidence.

Play the rooks.

At this point, the team knows at least 40 players who will be on this roster. Probably more.

It comes down to evaluating players fighting for those last 10 spots or so. They're the only ones that really need to play.

Oh, and Id love to see a new kicker out there Saturday.

Probably 80-90% of the snaps all preseason will be taken by players who will never play a meaningful regular season down for the Cowboys.

Some Examples- Brendan Knox and JaQuan Hardy were two of the leading rushers in Cowboys 2021 ps games. In 2022 preseason, Brandon Smith was the leading receiver. Smith, Knox and Hardy have never played a meaningful down in the Reg season for us.

I‘m not knocking any of these guys. They are busting their behinds to make an nfl roster. It’s just that most of them never will. I admire their dedication and commitment. Just trying to give some perspective.

And thats how it should be. I have no idea how many PS stars for us went on to make other rosters. I have no idea how many guys on our current roster were PS stars from previous teams.

Get these roster buble guys on tape. In "real" games.

I dont need to see Cooks. Or any other guy we already know will be starting for us. To me its not worth the risk of injury.

Injuries happen across the league in controlled, three quarter speed, thud practices. Dont expose them even further in full game speed contact.

I guarantee you that after this weekend we will hear about some bigger name player getting hurt in a PS game. Everytime a player steps onto the field there is a chance to get hurt. I want to reserve those chances to games that matter.

Why can't the head coach do that like all the other franchises do?
Why can't fans managed to shut up and stop telling a man how to run his own team??

you know when you get your $10 Billion, when you get your three Lombardi's, and when you're actually running about 5 corporations with over 2k employees, you can have your own opinions about your stuff but how about you move on about your business and get out of jerry's.. .

Surprised they would play Cooks. Not sure that’s a smart move. I would save him for when it counts playing with Dak.

Last week I seen 3 different owners talking to the media. So Jerry is not the only one. However it is a fan favorite to bash him over it. :laugh:

People seem to forget that Jerry is the GM of this team as well. Maybe not in a traditional sense of GM but in title, he certianly is. And every GM of every team talks with the media and discusses the team. Jerry as the GM doesn't do anyhting different that the other GMs in the league.

Yeah Jerry is living every football fans dream. Using a sports franchise to set his family up for generations to come and helping players/employees get generational wealth as well. Jerry is truly living the American dream.

Dak should play, eventually, for at least a quarter and a half. Or he could come out soft and slow like last year.
