The\u00a0Dallas Cowboys\u00a0are on a bye week, and they\u2019ll enter their next game against the\u00a0San Francisco 49ers\u00a0on Sunday, October 27, with a 3-3 record. Following the team\u2019s\u00a0big loss to the Detroit Lions, 47-9, on October 13, some in the Cowboys\u2019 camp are understandably frustrated.<\/p>\n
In a\u00a0radio interview with 105.3 the Fan, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones talks about the state of the Cowboys and appears to throw a little shade at quarterback Dak Prescott.<\/p>\n
Jones\u2019 October 15 interview with 105.3 the Fan had some heated moments. One happened when he was talking about Prescott. Twice during the interview, Jones said that Prescott is the highest-paid player in the NFL and that the Cowboys shouldn\u2019t have the highest-paid quarterback and not have \u201cmore production.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe should be able to not have (that) happen to us Sunday (the Cowboys\u2019 loss to the Lions) with our players that we\u2019ve got. Shouldn\u2019t have the highest-paid quarterback in the NFL and not have more production, but he\u2019s got to have blocking,\u201d\u00a0he said. \u201cHe\u2019s got to have the routes run right.\u201d<\/p>\n
He added, \u201cAnd the other things he\u2019s got to do is that it helps if he weren\u2019t playing somebody as strong as Detroit was Sunday. They were pretty strong.\u201d<\/p>\n
Prescott is\u00a0third in the NFL in passing yards, 12th in passing touchdowns and 16th in yards per attempt. He also has the second-most interceptions in the NFL,\u00a0according to Pro Football Focus.<\/p>\n
Also in the interview, Jones was asked about the Cowboys\u2019 inactive offseason, which is a talking point among NFL analysts and experts. His response showed that he didn\u2019t like that question one bit. He responded by basically saying the hosts could be released from the station.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is not your job. Your job isn\u2019t to let me go over all the reasons that I did something and I\u2019m sorry that I did it. That\u2019s not your job. I\u2019ll get somebody else to ask these questions. I\u2019m not kidding,\u201d\u00a0Jones said. \u201cYou\u2019re not going to figure out what the team is doing right or wrong. If you are, or any five or 10 like you, you need to come to this [NFL] meeting I\u2019m going to today with 32 teams here, you\u2019re geniuses.\u201d<\/p>\n
He continued, \u201cYou really think you\u2019re going to sit here with a microphone and tell me all of the things that I\u2019ve done wrong without going over the rights? Listen, we both know we\u2019re talking to a lot of great fans, a lot of great listeners. And I am very sorry for what happened out there Sunday. I\u2019m sick about what happened Sunday.\u201d<\/p>\n
Radio host Bobby Belt responded in the\u00a0October 16 edition of the show, saying, \u201cI think he wanted to come at it like, oh, let me show my passion\u2026 I think he legitimately got mad and then he kind of snapped. Because here\u2019s the thing, I think there are a couple of areas where there is showman Jerry and then there is genuinely upset Jerry. And I don\u2019t think there is much that genuinely upsets him, but there\u2019s a few things.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
