Jerry Jones ‘proud of Cowboys roster’, Is Dallas really all-in? | NFL | FIRST THINGS FIRST

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said that he is very proud of the Cowboys free agency period and that they’re “all in on the draft”. Nick Wright, Chris Broussard, Kevin Wildes, and Eric Mangini ask if the Cowboys are really “all-in” this season, and if they’ll resign Dak Prescott, Ceedee Lamb, and Micah Parsons.

To use a poker analogy the cowboys are all in but they're the short stack at the table because they just overbet three bad hands in a row and now they're basically all in at the blinds because it's all they have left.

Cowboys are the only team in nfl history that can win 36 games in 3 seasons have get this much negative attention and have so many people act like they don’t know what they’re doing whatsoever. Comparing what the raiders are and have been for the past 20 years to Dallas is ridiculous

[@MaximusR93]

The thing about Tony Pollard was, last year anyone who watched the Cowboys often, I’m sure you’ve noticed the run game was awful for his type of running. He is not the type you should force up the middle, he needs outside touches and McCarthy is not a very good run schemer

[@Dryltd]

@Te-legram_ytFirstThingsFirst current video isn't evidence of a pattern. It would have been better to share a cowboy segment from the past season where the running game was criticized.

[@jozeffpierre1717]

Last season the conversation around the week 17 game against Washington was if the Cowboys win (and Philly loses) they have a chance to get the #2 seed. Also, maybe the running game has a chance to get going against a weak team and build momentum going into the playoffs. If your run game is good, you’re not looking to “get going” in week 17. The Cowboys run game and run defense have been issues since 2019. Going into week 17 of 2023 their main issues were the run game and the run defense. 5 years… same story. 5 years later they’re basically in the same boat except they are hitting reset on the RB room and currently have significant holes to fill in the interior line/left tackle positions. They also have question marks at LB and on top of that, the DT they drafted in the 1st round last year to fix the run defense didn’t work out (yet 🙏🏾).

[@k_hack9441]

Nice segment, Coach! I think you nailed it.

[@feezus6970]

He had one of those running backs. Ezekiel Elliott was the best running back in the NFL for half a decade. Instead of bass in the offense around him he wanted to pump up Dak Prescott and now here we are.

[@armanvranka7520]

Great segment love the pollard debate

[@anaashb9838]

OMG! I GOT IT! I'm a marketing genius! Jerry Jones just needs to officially change the name of the Cowboys to, "To the All-in Cowyboys." BOOOMMM!!!!!!!!! Then, everyone will have to call them the, "All-in Cowboys." You're welcome JJ.

[@rons3634]

The Cowboys are constantly being talked about in the media, Jerry is getting the attention he craves, the team is worth billions, and the fans will continue to spend money on them... If he's not laughing all the way to the bank, he should be.

JERRY JONES JUST SPOKE OUT OF EMBARRASEMENT AFTER THE PACKERS HISTORICAL LOSS SAYING "ALL IN". Afterwards, he realized that he talked out of his *** and instead of admitting it, he came up with his own version of "all in".

[@Chief24.7]

Isn’t there 32 teams ‘all in’ on the draft? 😅

[@stevelucero9047]

“To know what people really think, pay attention to what they do, rather than what they say.” ― Descartes Jerry's original "All in" statement has been taken out of context by everyone. Here's is Jerry's full statement regarding "all in"... _"I would anticipate -- with looking ahead at our key contracts that we'd like to address -- we will be all in," Jones said, via team reporter Nick Harris. "I would anticipate we will be all in at the end of this year. ... It will be going all in on different people than you've done in the past. We will be going all in. We've seen some things out of some of the players that we want to be all in on. Yes, I would say that you will see us this coming year not build it for the future. It's the best way I've ever said. And that ought to answer a lot of questions._ This to me is the most telling part: _"you will see us this coming year not build it for the future."_ He flat out says they aren't spending for the future at all.... and the restructuring was to free up cap space, as they'll owe Dak that money regardless. Look at what Jerry has said, then what he has done.

The window is shut on Dallas they r in rebuild mode. Lost multiple starters have not replaced any of them. There line is in shambles n dak will be running for his life n the run game will be nothing

[@FirstUnlock]

Washington should trade down afew spots and take Michael penix but as eagles fan i hope they take Daniels or maye

[@zaydagreat1500]

Tony Pollard was a " receiver" who couldn't catch so he got put in at RB... Therefore we can find another Pollard

[@earlwedlake7817]

We added Erik Kendricks and Justin Jefferson. It was a great pick yesterday with OT Tyler Guyton. We should be a playoff team again for 2024. With a couple more linemen hopefully a super bowl run

[@SageShini]

The key is in that thing Nick said at the end. The Cowboys have a nasty habit of waiting to sign guys until they're the most expensive they could be. They could've gotten Dak for cheaper than they did, and when they sign Ceedee and Micah it'll be for more than they could've gotten them for too. That stuff catches up to you.

[@bennwardhaugh3013]

It pretty much started with Zeke's, but Dak's contract was the ultimate mistake that Jerry made as he could have given him a new contract after his second year (something like 20 mill a year) and none of this would be happening to them. There's no way Dak was turning down that kind of money considering he was a 4th round pick on peanuts at the time.

[@randycarpenter1025]

Lamb ain’t better the T. Higgins Lamb’s #’s are better because he’s the only Wide Receiver on the team!!! When Higgins is WR#1 he will shine ✨ more than Lamb!

DELUSIONAL

[@zacht7135]

Last year Dallas was: #31 in early down run efficiency (only better than NYJ) #26 in average open score for pass catchers But #1 in ppg for the 4th year in a row in games Daks starts. Because hes really good. Lol They had the 4th highest passing rate on early downs because they literally could not run the ball. The issue is that for some unknown reason in the playoffs they became the #14/14 team in early down passing rate. And i would LOVE for some reporter to ask Jerry why that is.

[@ThomasFromTN]

Interesting that Nick wright commented that the term gaslighting is is frequently used incorrectly then mangini proceeded to give a textbook example of gaslighting when he suggested that Nick wright was calling Tony Pollard a quote terrible running back nothing. Nothing Wright expressed about Pollard indicated he was insinuating the guy was a "terrible." But then gaslighting happens a lot on this show.

Been saying it for years but it’s more obvious ow. Jerry wants this team just good enough to win games maybe make the playoffs and a Super Bowl would just be a plus. As long as America’s team keeps being talked about he’s good. Now he puts Dak and n a definite position not to succeed and hasn’t upgraded the defense so Micah probably won’t have a great season. Convenient when it’s time for the guys to get paid.

Worst decisions cowboys have made in last 15 yrs: 1. Keeping Garret over Sean Payton 2. Resigning Zeke to huge contract 3. Drafting Taco Charleton over TJ WATT!! 4. Resigning Dak making him one of the highest paid qbs, when honestly I don’t think he’s a top 20. (I’d much rather have baker or Donald at a fraction of the price over Dak) 5. Keeping McCarthy and letting Quinn walk

It's possible all 3 of their top stars could be gone from Dallas in a full rebuild mode within the next 5yrs .. they let Dak walk ..

SF would have the same problem if their QB wasn't pretty much playing for free. SF you could say has 50 million more in cap space than most good teams because they don't have to pay a QB right now. Pay that QB to his play level it takes 45 million(ish) away. That roster looks a lot different talent wise. It why most teams win with QB on rookie deals. You have the money to build a team around them. Or you have to get lucky drafting like KC. And yes, the draft is luck. Great college players don't always become great NFL players. KC have been great at winning the draft lottery right now. Grats to them.

Mangini sure does talk a whole lot for a guy who is 33-48 as a head coach. Perhaps you don’t know as much as you think you do about talent evaluation if you’re saying pollard is anything other than a replacement level back. Probably also why you haven’t gotten an inquiry about being a coach or coordinator in over a decade! He gets on Dallas so much but in 3 seasons they’ve won more games than he did in his entire coaching career. Maybe, just maybe the Dallas front office and coaching staff are a little bit better at this than you were buddy!
