Deep Blue: War Stories | Dallas Cowboys 2021

Jerry Jones has a phone pressed to one ear. He's also talking to Stephen Jones, who sits next to him, the head coach and a room full of scouts. Another phone is ringing and multiple TVs are on as the NFL world waits for the Cowboys to make a move. Conversations are being had simultaneously about scenarios, grades and endless possibilities. Meanwhile, the seconds are ticking down as the team prepares to make another vital decision that will affect the organization's future. This is life in the War Room. We've peeled back the curtain to take you inside the Cowboys' draft-day process with behind-the-scenes footage and stories that have never been told before

I’m a Steelers fan but I love the insight of a war room no matter what team good luck this year cowboys !

Loved all the Deep Blues

[@riggingpots3453]

So good right

[@bizkitk9]

Been looking Forward to this one

[@artjenks157]

Excellent!! I didn’t realize Ed “Too Tall” Jones was the first player picked in his draft😎

[@2facesofevil835]

Dallas Cowboys for life!!

[@TGo-n-Roscoe]

I knew that was Hek... great job... loved the video.

[@Phez8]

Masterpiece! ⭐️

[@riggingpots3453]

I love this.

[@bluestarmafia5680]

This is awesome, jerry gets fired up

[@calvinstrand1113]

If u think about it, all of our Hall of Fame Players had heart regardless of there draft, they came and wanted to solidify our Cowboys and that's the greatest of our team

[@jwjoness]

Felix Jones! I'm still throwing my hat at the TV. We could have got Stephen Jackson and traded out the pick.

[@Monarchski]

I threw my remote at the TV.

[@thegorn68]

Steven Jackson? He was drafted in 2004. That was the year Dallas took Julius Jones. In 2008, Dallas could've had Chris Johnson, Matt Forte or Jamal Charles instead of Felix.

[@Monarchski]

@@thegorn68 That's right. I wanted them to take Chris Johnson and Parcells took "run into the back of his lineman" Julius.

[@jwjoness]

@@thegorn68 you right. Thank you for the correction. I still threw my hat. 🤣

[@Chris6741]

I was listening to that pick on the radio in my car on a work break. I was so disappointed for the rest of the day.

[@riggingpots3453]

Amazing footage any true cowboys fan will love this....Nick Eatmen wow keep it up.

[@rockogoff1]

This was awesome. Great job to everyone that made this. It's awesome to get to see some behind the scenes.

[@h8sjws735]

So well done..👏👏👏

[@riggingpots3453]

Nick Eatmen is killing it.

[@thegorn68]

Running Backs we could've had that were taken AFTER Felix Jones: Chris Johnson, Matt Forte, Ray Rice (Yeah, I know. On the field, he was better.), Jamaal Charles (Ouch!)

[@riggingpots3453]

But how did you like the film, did you enjoy it?

[@evilsWa]

some other running backs that were drafted after Felix Jones, and in many cases before the guys named…Reshard Mendenhall, for example. Or Kevin Smith, or Jacob Hester… It's almost as if the draft is kind of a crapshoot, and looking back with hindsight, doesn't make you some sort of insider or genius. We can all look at the Wikipedia results as well. Only Cowboys fans look at the draft as if they have access to every single player available and if they missed out on a great player they're the only ones that did it. See the fact that people act like 17 other teams didn't pass on Randy Moss, and it was just the Cowboys at number one and then the Vikings got him at number two.

[@kareemmoreland9119]

Like how they rationalized not taking Randy Moss. "We did pick a Pro Bowl player!" Pretty funny Haha

[@evilsWa]

Just curious, what if you got the unmotivated Randy Moss that went to Oakland? Love how y'all act like his entire career was just total dominance, not at all filled with any of the controversy that the Cowboys were trying to avoid…

[@DC4EVA]

We didn't get trumped by the Broncos ,we got SAVED by the Broncos!!!!!!!!

[@ivanmarban6291]

Great video! This actually way better than Hard Knox. Go Cowboys!

[@jcdova29]

This is the kind of documentary Jerry Jones loves. Documentary that highlights Jerry as the man in charge with all the brown nosers chasing Jerry around praising Jerra left and right. Film shows the better choices during drafts but they don’t show the 90% of other draft failures. Jerra didn’t set the team back to the stone age by accident.

[@jeffs3752]

Jerry wanted Manziel, Jerry wanted Lynch, Jerry knows less about personnel than me.

[@Kronos_One]

This year...is our year !

[@bentramer4281]

Only 3 playoff wins since 2020, but this year is our year. OK.

[@tyrellhines9304]

Not drafting randy moss stings me to this day 😞

[@dannysavagedraftguru]

With the triplets we get another ring with Randy. Made me sick to my stomach every TD he caught

[@TheSlayer71782]

Best video I've seen about entire draft process. I've always wanted to see how it works in big D and I gotta it's pretty impressive. Jerry & Steven's draft teams and abilities are some of the best in the NFL.

[@riggingpots3453]

I agree

[@rkwittem]

LMAO they're so good they haven't been to a super Bowl in 25 years

[@TheSlayer71782]

@@rkwittem it wasn't because of their scouting methods though dumbass.

[@bentramer4281]

@@TheSlayer71782 LMAO. The drafts are a HUGE part of why we haven't won anything in 25 years. The 2009 draft alone would have gotten any GM (that's actually held responsible) fired. Even just recently: Taco Charlton over T.J. Watt, Morris Claiborne, Jaylon Smith, Zeke at #4 (you don't draft an RB that high EVER). The Cowboys are straight up HORRIBLE in the 2nd round, too. HORRIBLE.

Overall great picks. We won't talk about the missed picks. I might start crying. 👀Moss

[@ALI-om2re]

Ya 6th Super Bowls would have been nice 🤦‍♂️

[@evilsWa]

Cowboys were more than just a receiver away from being champs again. Please stop with the Randy stuff. As if every stop he made didnt end with drama.

[@ALI-om2re]

@@evilsWa deep speed receiver is what the team needed. That 98 team still had Deion , Triplets but offense was stagnate because double Irvin and the passing game was stuck. That was the last window for that group, window shut right after…

[@aaronalvarado2481]

Not to mention Aaron Rodgers being on the board in 2005. I know we had Bledsoe but he was already at the end.

[@johnnycortez46]

In alot of these videos you see all Dallas management and jerry Jones talking about players. Then jerry making the final decision. If you watch Bill bellichek and Robert kraft videos. You see only Bill , a few scouts and maybe a coach in the boardroom . U see kraft too. But final decision is Bill. Difference between the two organizations? Bill has more superbowls. And he a coach making that decision. Then in Dallas you got jerry and his little group making the picks and u got zero superbowls. I never believed jerry knew how to put a team together. Jimmy knew how to do it. But not jerry or anyone else in his family

[@colesteeleA]

And just like that 😚👌, Jerry Jones created 25 years of mediocrity. As long as Jerry and his kids are G.M., V.P. of Personnel, Operations Officer, or whatever names they bestowed on themselves. Actual football management will continue to outsmart them.

[@quinndrone4935]

And just like that Jerry has 3 Superbowls. Stop bitching and go root for another team.

[@juanel589]

[@CheapFtWorthHouses]

@@quinndrone4935 the teams jimmy built and managed have 3 super bowls. Since jerry jones took over and has been running the show the cowboys are one of only 3 teams not not play in an nfc championship games in the last quarter century.

[@CheapFtWorthHouses]

@@juanel589 other teams consistently go deep in the playoffs while the cowboys cannot do better than a wildcard win every now and then. green bay goes deep all the time...pittsburg always in the hunt....the eagles have played in a ton of nfc championship the last 25 years..... yet the cowboys company is the lions and washington - who along with dallas are the only 3 teams have not played in an nfc championship in the last quarter century. You cannot win a sb if you cannot even get past winning a wildcard game

[@rkwittem]

Still peddling that "we wanted Parsons all along lie." Don't insult our intelligence. We know y'all wanted Surtain or Horn.
