It’s hard to figure out what, exactly, Jones means when he says the Cowboys should “overly try” to get Owens the ball: Try so hard that they’re forcing him the ball when he’s not open?
But Jones doesn’t think the Cowboys need to “overly try” to get the ball to running backs Felix Jones and Marion Barber. Despite criticism from many fans and members of the media who said the Cowboys made a tactical error in handing off to Barber just eight times on Sunday and Jones not at all, Jerry Jones says that was simply a result of the defense the Redskins were playing.
So coach Wade Phillips, please listen to your boss.
