The blame for the Dallas Cowboys’ 1-2 start to the season falls squarely on team owner Jerry Jones, according to a recent poll. Jones himself has accepted responsibility for the slow start, acknowledging that fans are right to hold him accountable for the team’s performance.
In a recent interview on 105.3 The Fan, Jones admitted that he plays a significant role in the decision-making process for the Cowboys, from coaching staff to player acquisitions. He defended his choices during the offseason, where the team opted for lower-investment additions rather than major acquisitions through free agency or trade.
Despite Jones’ confidence in the team’s roster, the Cowboys have struggled in key areas such as rushing yards and defensive performance. The team’s poor run game has forced them to play catch-up in recent losses to the New Orleans Saints and Baltimore Ravens.
Jones remains optimistic about the team’s future, pointing to the success of the Kansas City Chiefs in recent years as a model for turning things around. He acknowledges that there is room for improvement and is committed to working towards better results on the field.
Regardless of the outcome of the season, Jones is prepared to accept any criticism from fans and media alike. He recalls facing similar backlash when he first took over the Cowboys and believes that overcoming criticism is part of the journey to success in the NFL.
As the Cowboys look to bounce back from their slow start, Jones remains dedicated to the team’s success and is willing to do whatever it takes to get them back on track. With a strong roster and a determined owner at the helm, fans can expect the Cowboys to fight their way back into contention as the season progresses.
