Jerry Jones - Cleats Cost Cowboys

Jerry Jones on @1053thefan said the Cowboys had trouble getting traction against the Rams because of the L.A. Coliseum's poor field conditions: "We never got traction. That was a slippery field. We had trouble digging in."

Blame the cleats, Jurrah!
Slippery Surface - ( New Window )

wasn't Jones one of the biggest

proponents of the Rams moving to LA? You reap what you sow...

You'd think..

FatMan in Charlotte : 1/15/2019 11:03 am : link

a well-funded team like America's Team would bring trunks full of backup cleats!!

CJ Anderson and Gurley seemed absolutely fine with their footing.

Funny.

A running back who was cut by two teams and also looks like wall-e ran all over the field just fine.

Maybe the chick-fil-a Elliot ate weighed him down?

Nah Jerry

I think it's because the way your defense lined up tipped off the Rams about the stunts.

What a jackass.

Reminds me of the Sneakers game

Jerruh didn't read his history books

Matt in SGS : 1/15/2019 11:07 am : link

he shoulda just gone and gotten some basketball shoes at UCLA and he'd have been all set

What a tool....

go float in your yacht and shut up. Your team got flat out beat.

Extensions..

for Dak and Garrett!!

Not their fault!

its going to be interesting to see what Dallas

Kevin(formerly Tiki4Six) : 1/15/2019 11:20 am : link

does with their players. I know they are in pretty good cap space but they are only paying their OL right now.

Dak, Cooper, Lawrence.....all will have huge contracts.

Jaylen Smith and Byron Jones will be UFAs after 2019 too.

And Zeke will be a UFA after 2020 assuming they pick up his option.

blame the equipment manager

It didn't appear to be too slippery for Anderson and Gurley...

Yeah I mean, they absolutely didn't lose because of the field, you're right. But this didn't strike me as sour grapes is all I'm saying. Just a guy saying what his team didn't handle well.

Jones couldn't afford extra cleats since he just blew 250 million on a yacht.

YachtGate 2.0!

Now he just needs to dock it in Cancun for it to be 3.0!!

You had two days to check the field out

montanagiant : 1/15/2019 2:52 pm : link

And decide what type cleats to wear.

What a weak ass excuse

and Seahawk fans complain about this stuff often when they lose on grass fields (49ers a month ago, Panthers playoff game 3 years ago)....

All NFL fields should be grass, IMHO. Teams that play on grass fields never talk s*** about other teams' fields.

Gotta believe there are some people in Dallas� org

...that absolutely hold their breath when he steps up to the mic. But no one in their right mind will tell him to be quiet...
