Following the Cowboys’ latest disappointing loss, Stephen Jones took to the airwaves on 105.3 The Fan to address the team’s roster and future plans. However, instead of offering clear insights or potential solutions, Jones provided a muddled defense of the Cowboys’ strategy, leaving fans with more questions than answers.
Reflecting on the roster, Jones offered statements that seemed to go in circles. “This team is made up of a lot of the same players that won 12 games the last three seasons,” he noted, adding, “We’re just going through adversity. We’ve had more than our share of injuries…especially on the defensive side of the ball.” Jones pointed out that the roster has “really good football players,” yet admitted that the team’s performance has been inconsistent, acknowledging that “at times we’re not playing well.”
These vague statements have frustrated fans, especially as they watched the Cowboys struggle through key areas left unaddressed during the offseason. Despite widespread calls to add a proven WR2 and reinforce the running back position, the front office opted to stand pat, a decision now showing up on the field. As Dak Prescott continues to work with limited weapons and head coach Mike McCarthy faces pressure with few answers, the team’s issues appear more pronounced than ever.
Adding to the confusion, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones previously stated that he believes in the current roster and doesn’t anticipate making any moves by the trade deadline. This stance has only heightened fans’ frustration, with the lack of urgency appearing to signal an acceptance of the team’s struggles.
As the Cowboys season teeters, fans are left wondering if the team’s leadership is committed to making the necessary changes to push forward. With unclear messaging and no apparent plan to address glaring issues, the front office’s approach feels far from “all-in.”
