Saving for a rainy day is one thing. But fans who witnessed the Cowboys’ horrid showing on Sunday are wondering how much harder it has to pour to convince the front office to acquire some experienced football players. Stephen Jones shared his cap strategy on Friday, and it’s sure to rub many the wrong way. Jerry, meanwhile, is offering to listen to fans’ complaints… but admits right up front that nothing at the top is going to change.
Meanwhile, there’s a game to play on Sunday, and a win would wash a lot of the bad taste out of everyone’s mouths. We’re getting to know Cooper Rush the way his teammates do, even though one outspoken DB isn’t convinced the Cowboys have a prayer with him at the helm. We’re looking for improvement on both sides of the ball as both Kellen Moore and the run defense were found to be lacking last week, the team’s staff writers make their gameday predictions, and there’s a humble submission for what the Cowboys should do on their very first play from scrimmage against Cincinnati. The Bengals are bringing two old friends back to town, and a legend from the dynasty days is tackling a new opponent. All that and more, in this edition in News and Notes.
