Asked by howard if mochrie

A: Thanks for the question Howard.

There are many people who agree with you in thinking that Jerry Jones should keep his hands out of the player personnel issues. But guess what? That is NEVER going to happen.

Jerry and his sons live for making those type of decisions and, believe it or not, they are very smart businessmen. The team is worth more than almost any other sports franchise in the world and the value grows every year.

To answer your question, he gets some of the old coaches from the recycling heap, but I assure you that the Cowboys have many coaches that are respected throughout the league. They do seem to have trouble getting the right mix of players and coaches but with the moves this offseason, maybe they are taking on more of Wade Phillips' personality…for better or worse!

We'll see.

Fire Tony Romo?

Q: WHy is Jerry Jones so blind? It wasnt T.O.’s fault we lost the past 2 playoffs. That rests soley on Tony Homo’s Hands. He threw an interception last year. And the year before, he fumbled a field goal. It is Tony’s Fault. Not T.O. T.O. made the team batter. I hate the way Jerry Jones is runnin’ the team!!! He is Just a Owner, Not a Coacj. I know he wants them to win. But Jerry, do like other owners do sit on ur but and watch em. And let the Coaches work. B.T.W, get rid of tony!

Asked by txcowboy31

A: Yep, you are probably right. The Cowboys are better off without Tony Romo. Just look how they have done in the past decade with all the other standout QBs on their roster. Drew Bledsoe and Vinny Testaverde were the only two decent QBs they had, and that isn't saying much.

Or have you forgotten Quincy Carter, Chad Hutchinson, Anthony Wright, Ryan Leaf & Clint Stoerner?

Romo is the only quarterback since Troy Aikman to lead the team, so don't put the blame on him.

Jerry Jones is one of the best owners in sports. Don't kid yourself. Seriously, the Dallas Cowboys are not some other team, he can't "do like other owners" if he wants to continue to build on the legacy that is the Dallas Cowboys. He carries a huge responsibility on his shoulders as the owner of the Cowboys and he has done a great job.

Have you ever heard ANY of his players complain that he meddles too much? I can't think of one. Only the media and Cowboys haters think Jerry should just "watch em". His players love him and so do the true fans!

Dallas Cowboys Fifth Round Picks

Jay Burgess — Sun, 26 Apr 2009 21:00:15 +0000

In the fifth round of the 2009 NFL Draft, the Dallas Cowboys had another 3 picks to use. And much like the fourth round, they took a couple of defensive players and a shot at a dark horse.

The Cowboys chose DeAngelo Smith of Cincinnati with the 143rd pick. He is a cover cornerback who could be moved to safety due to his size and physical nature.

Michael Hamlin a safety from Clemson was taken with the 166th pick. He will help fill gaps in the secondary left by Pacman Jones, Roy Williams and Anthony Henry.

With the 172nd pick the Cowboys chose a kicker from USC, David Buehler. Even though Nick Folk appears to have a strangle hold on that position with the Cowboys, Buehler is a physical specimen at 6′2″, 227 lbs. Jerry Jones does have a history of taking a chance with unproven kickers, so we’ll see how this competition plays out.

Once again, the fifth round was no surprise with Jerry Jones and son Stephen taking more defense. Stockpiling depth at all positions. This leaves the Cowboys with 2 picks in each of the final two rounds. Can I guess, more defense, or will they find a WR to take a flyer on?

Dallas Cowboys Fourth Round Picks

Jay Burgess — Sun, 26 Apr 2009 18:38:46 +0000

The Dallas Cowboys have chosen 3 players in the fourth round of the 2009 NFL Draft. After drafting exactly zero players in Day 1 of the draft, the Cowboys will be drafting 13 players in Day 2.

In the fourth round they have taken a quarterback with the 101st overall pick. Stephen McGee out of Texas A&M didn’t have much of a college career with a struggling Aggies team. But many experts think he has pro potential.

With their next pick, the 110th overall, the Cowboys took Victor Butler. This defensive end out of Oregon State moved up on many draft boards after a good workout in his pro day. He should help provide some depth in the defensive line.

With the 120th pick the Cowboys took another defensive end. Brandon Williams from Texas Tech should fit well in the 3-4 scheme, but he will be a project in the making.

So there you go, Jerry is going after some depth on defense and maybe a shot in the dark at QB. Only 8 more picks left today!

Dallas Cowboys Third Round Picks

Jay Burgess — Sun, 26 Apr 2009 18:16:54 +0000

The Dallas Cowboys have finally thrown their hat in the ring and drafted some players in the third round of NFL Draft 2009. Believe it or not, Jerry Jones made a trade that adds another pick to the Cowboys list of 12 picks today.

In a minor trade the Cowboys swapped fourth round picks with the Bucs and acquired an extra seventh round pick. That leaves the Cowboys with 3 picks in each of the fourth, fifth and seventh rounds and 2 picks in the sixth. That is, if Jerry doesn’t make any other trades.

So, in the third round the Cowboys drafted Jason Williams, a linebacker from Western Illinois. He will most likely play special teams this season and fill in at LB.

With their other pick in the third round, Dallas took an offensive lineman from Ball State. Robert Brewster played tackle in college but will most likely move inside to guard.

As suspected, Jerry and Stephen Jones are looking to fill holes in the backup roles on defense. With all these picks they will get to take a look at lots of talented athletes in training camp this year.
