Jerry Jones, the owner and general manager of the Dallas Cowboys, has taken responsibility for the team’s 1-2 start to the season. In a recent poll conducted by WFAA-TV, over 70% of voters placed the blame on Jones. In response, Jones acknowledged the criticism and stated that he has significant input in the decision-making process for the team.

Since becoming the owner and general manager in 1989, Jones has faced criticism whenever the Cowboys have struggled. The team’s recent playoff loss and the 28-season Super Bowl drought have fueled fan frustration. Additionally, the Cowboys have faced challenges in areas like run defense and the running game, ranking last in run defense and 30th in rushing yards per game.

Despite the team’s struggles, Jones remains optimistic about their potential for improvement. He emphasized the need for better coordination across all areas of the team, including offense and defense. While the upcoming game against the New York Giants is important, Jones stopped short of labeling it a must-win, highlighting the long season ahead.

Jones reflected on the history of the Cowboys and how criticism has often fueled the team’s success. He remains committed to improving the team’s performance and believes that every possession and game presents an opportunity for growth and success. As the Cowboys prepare for their upcoming games, Jones is focused on maximizing the team’s potential and overcoming challenges to achieve their goals.
