Jerry Jones's thoughts on the Cowboys loss to San Francisco · The Craig Way Show

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: We do want to go to some of this audio
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: because the last few weeks, obviously it's been Radio gold,
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: as Jerry Jones invariably is. Remember two weeks ago he
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: was really upset with his weekly radio co hosts Marjie
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Chappy and Shawn Sheriff and was not happy with them
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: the things that they were saying, and he even made
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: off handed comments to other folks interviewing him that he
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: could replace fire his radio guys or whatever, and that
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: all that is. And when we said it, then I'll
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: just say it again. This is a contracted once week
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: appearance that Jerry does on his flagship station one O
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: five three the Fan. There's no quote unquote firing.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: He can't.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: He could choose not to do the interview the show.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: He could choose to do that and if and if
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: by firing, that's what he means, okay, but he can't.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: He doesn't have any claim on those guys who were
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: at that radio station. That's just a contracted interview. Things
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: seemed a little more patched up last week despite the loss,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: so it was, you know, or coming out of the
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: buy and so it was a little more patched up.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: So now they come off the loss to San Francisco,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: lots of questions about Dak Prescott, lots of questions about
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: injuries and not having the right guys available. Also, Jerry's
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: family was involved in a car wreck on the way
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: to the game, right, something like that. Yeah, So these
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: were a lot of these questions were put to Jerry
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: this morning. This is again from one oh five three
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: to the fan in Dallas Fort Worth with RJ and
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Sewn And the first thing they asked him was, how
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: about your thoughts on the loss of the forty nine ers?
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: What did you make of that game?
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Well? I thought that we knew we were going out
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: there to play it really good team and we basically
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: I wish we could have eliminate the third quarter, and
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: you can't do that. But still there were parts of
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: that game that I really liked what we were doing
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: under the circumstances, and most of it first half. I
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: really liked the way that we came back near the
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: end of the ball game. We gave her a chance
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: as a good play to turp in there that if
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: we could have made that play, that makes a big difference.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: But that's what you try to do in the NFL
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: is get in a spot where with three minutes left
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: to go and turn out situation where we had it,
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: you've got a chance to win the game. It gives
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: a good team on the road.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So there's one way to describe it. And it
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: didn't happen in the third quarter. Had a lot to
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: do with it, fat Cowboys. In the third quarter, it
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: outscored sixty one to nineteen. So he was asked about that,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: about what is about that third quarter in being outscored
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: in that period?
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: You're sixty one or nineteen in the third quarters, that's
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: what you broke down, Yes, sir, in the third quarter. Yes, Well,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: I think it's pretty easy to go. The facts are
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: that our communication in our offensive line we can improve on.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: I like our players in the offensive line, but we
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: can improve on our communication. That's critical that's in there,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: and that really played havoc with us there defensively. And
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: this really has to do with my kind of point
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: that I want to make this morning is that I
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: really do see that we've got the players and we
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: should have the players coming. Hopefully we'll get one or
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: two back here against Atlanta. But I have a lot
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: of faith in these players, and I have a lot
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: of faith in this coaching staff. And so the big
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: thing is that's what we've got, and that's reality. And
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: so these players have a chance to get better. Their
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: eras are up, knocked down, and I'm talking in general here.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: Eras are up, and this coaching staff is I know firsthand.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: I spent a lot of time around them. The coaching
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: staff's got their eye on the things that we need
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: to improve on. We need to improve on communication across
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: the board, and we can that comes better as the
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: season goes along. We'll get better with the communication. And frankly,
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: like all teams at this time, we'll have some players
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: coming back that have played critical roles for us. We
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: ought to get better. And we're seven games into this thing.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Seventeen games. Reason, let's get this thing turned around and
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: have a storybook ending to a rough start.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Okay, that's the story book end, storybook ending, as I
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: want you to hear this today. Let's have a storybook
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: end into this rough start. At three and four, the
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: hosts brought up the fact that Dak Prescott is not
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: running the running with the ball as much. Is that
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: a problem? Is he good with that? Would he just
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: assume not see Dak run that much. How did Jerry
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: feel about that?
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: I think it's both you really don't want to see
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: him with You don't want to see him really take
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: off with that ball. These guys, these quarterbacks that run,
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: you know they're going to get injured, and that happens.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: It happens to the youngest, happens to the best, It's
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: happened to that. And so to the end that as
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: we rely on him to stay healthy, that's an important
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: part of it. I wouldn't say it's up there, read
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: letters in the practice facility, don't run, But I would
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: say that we want him to be smart about it,
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: and he is being smart about it. However, he will
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: when he sees the opportunity, pull it down and run
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: with it. As we know. And the situation the other night,
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: you could say, well, when does making yards count any
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: more than that? It's easy to see, it's easy to compare,
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: and that's cricket. That's fair when the opposing quarterback you've
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: got is really complimenting what they're doing with their offense.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: With his running, but I'm satisfied with in terms of
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: his ability to run, is there there's no question about
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: that as far as him physically he can run and
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: if we look back on it, you'll see times this year,
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: but we won't die in the future to do the
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: kind of job with his arm and get the ball
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: out to the get the ball out to the outside.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: You see us trying to do that a lot and
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: make up for anything we might want to do risky.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: I don't want to see him take those kinds of hits.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Did you hear him say that's cricket, that's fair, it's
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: classics area, you know. I think if we start doing
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: this every Tuesday, when you have a bingal list of
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: the word have a big go card of things like
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: fair and critical and smiling and trite, all of those,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: all of those different ones hypothetical, he said, I'm not
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: going to hypothetical with you. You know that's wort. So
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: so there's there's different ones. Clearly, there's there's different ones
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: involved with that. And we'll hear some more from Jerry
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: coming up next hour, and some more in the four
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: o'clock hour as well. But it's it's always a pretty
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: entertaining piece of radio to hear him. It's almost like
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: you can hear the the gears turning as he's trying
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: to formulate the answer that he wants to give them.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: And I'll give him credit for this. He does, in
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: his own inimitable fashion, try to find a way to
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: answer their question. I'm always reminded of this. There's some
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: athletes who just you know, you better ask the question
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: the right way or they're not going to answer it,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: or they're going to give you maybe an answer you
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: don't want. Here here's the perfect example. Last night after
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers won, Walker Ruler, who pitched really well, you know,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: five shutout innings and got the win, was in the
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: press conference. And Walker can be a little bit of
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: cerbic at times, depending on what you ask him and
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: how you asked the question. And someone asked him, was
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: it a different feeling for you? And is it a
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: different feeling with this team now in this World Series
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: as opposed to twenty twenty with the way that was,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: And it's clear what the guy was leading with. He
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: was trying to say because it was the pandemic and
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: he had to play on a neutral side and there
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: was limited fans in the ballpark and all that stuff.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: But Walker, Bueller's response was what's different about twenty twenty
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: or something like he wanted him to say it, and
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: the guy, to his credit, said, well, playing in a
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: neutral ballpark, and he oh, oh, yeah yeah. And then
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: he went on and he gave a pretty good answer.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: But a lot of athletes they want you to ask
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: the question in a w that doesn't put them off.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: I'm always thought, I'm always remembering what Reggie Jackson once
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: said to a report of ours when I worked in Dallas,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: when he said, and he kept, he kept denying everything
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: the guy was trying to ask him. He said, you
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: need to do a better job of asking the question
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: that you want to answered in order for me to
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: give you the answer you want. Is it's Reggie Jackson.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Then he f bombed him and told him a couple
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: other ways in typical Reggie Jackson passion. But anyway, Jerry
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: and I give him credit for this. He does try
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: to find a way to answer the question, even though
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: he kind of sometimes goes around the garage to get
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: to the barn to find a way to answer it.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: All Right, up next, we've got him conceivable here on
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: a Tuesday afternoon on sports Radio AM thirteen under the
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Zone in the iHeartRadio app
