Cowboys fans, if you think today couldn’t get any worse, you were wrong.
During a rambling explanation of the decision to trade linebacker Micah Parsons, Cowboys owner and G.M. Jerry Jones attributed the move to one specific aspect of defensive strategy.
“The facts are specifically, we need to stop the run,” Jones said during a Thursday night press conference. “And we haven’t been able to stop the run in key times for several years. And when you have the kind of extraordinary pass rush that [Micah] had, then the way to mitigate that pass rush is to run at you. If the pass rush doesn’t get you ahead pretty big time, and you’re playing even or behind, then you’ve really got a problem in stopping the run.”
When Jones finally stopped talking, his son Stephen, echoed the need to stop the run.
Sorry, Joneses. No one is going to buy that one. You had one of the best defensive players in the NFL. You dragged your feet for too long. You pissed the player off by playing games.
You f—ked around. You found out. And now you’re just coming up with crappy excuses.
