Jerry Jones: Tackling must improve
August, 11, 2014

By Todd Archer | ESPNDallas.com



OXNARD, Calif. – Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones was on radio silence before and after his team played the San Diego Chargers last week until Sunday.

While the defensive performance was disconcerting -- 395 yards allowed, 152 rushing yards, Chargers quarterbacks completed all but two passes -- Jones did not believe it was a flashback of what plagued the Cowboys' defense in 2013 when it finished last in the league.

Jones mentioned two rookie draft picks that caught his eye in cornerback Terrance Mitchell and linebacker Anthony Hitchens, but the fundamentals bothered him most.

“I don’t know that it brought back bad memories but I’m sure glad it was in the preseason rather than in some of those last three or four ballgames that we had,” Jones said after Sunday’s practice. “If we’re going to gap … then when it’s your time to make the tackle, you’ve got to make the tackle. To me the other night was all about not tackling and not making the tackle when you had the chance to make it. Tackling can be worked on, will be worked on. We’ll get better tackling and we’ve got players out here that can execute the system.”

Whew. Glad he's getting involved. Wouldn't want the fricking head coach to have anything to say about this.

This seemed like a good idea at the time.

And we have some here who think that a REAL coach will replace Garrett.

Oh my God, my sides are hurting.

Jerry Jones wouldn't know the nuances of good tackling if Dick Butkus knocked his fucking toupee into the cheap seats.

Sad but true.

We will get more Garretts and like it.
Pretty much. I think we can all place good money on the notion that Red Pubes will get a long term extension if this team goes 8-8 again this year.

More the Butkus and toupee schtick. It was gold.
You wouldn't know good schtick if Robin Williams choked you within an inch of your life with a pair of rainbow suspenders.

What about airline food? Folks.
What's with this cheap ass bag candy? I provide quality chocolates when it's my turn to fill the office candy dish, so why do you insist on bringing frikkin peppermints and butterscotch? Nobody eats that shit anymore!

I haven't been on a flight for about a year but even when I flew a lot I didn't get much involved with the airline food. Most flights only last 3 to 4 hours and I never saw the need to eat on the plane. It has never been a big deal to me one way or another.
