Jerry Jones butting his nose in the Cowboys offensive scheme
No doubt that Jerry Jones knows his fair share of football. He played on a national championship team in college and has been the owner of the Cowboys for over 20 years.
But I’m still not sure where in his resume it says he is an offensive guru. More or less it sounds as if he is indirectly firing a shot across Wade Phillips’ bow.
I think the real question is, should he be finishing rather than beginning? In his Pro Bowl year, where he had his best year, [Barber was] finishing the game. If you recall, Julius Jones started the game. We injected the quickness of his speed there early.
“That would be the issue. It’s not a question of starting as much as it is, when do you use Barber at his best? There are a lot of people, prominent people who know Barber well, who feel like he would be better served used to finish the game than really used a lot at the start.
I love the term, “prominent people”. Let’s just hope that prominent person was not somebody like say, Matt Millen.
Because if I recall at one time, Matt Millen was once considered a prominent person in the football world too. That was, until he turned a franchise upside down, took a steaming dump on an entire city, and tucked his tail between his legs as he jetted out of town.
But yea, he was prominent enough to be hired again to be a NFL analyst/commentator. And rumor has it, he might be part of the Oakland front office next season.
Its at this point where you should start to question the sanity of people in the NFL. I surely have.
