Three sayings Dallas Cowboys fans never want to hear again

‘WE LIKE OUR GUYS’

Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones is the very guy who loves to remind fans that roster building is a 365 days a year venture.

But time and again when they pass on adding a key piece to the defensive puzzle, the lame “we like our guys” excuse pops up.

Football is a business, both teams and players know this harsh reality. If a player becomes available who is clearly an upgrade and the value is doable, pull the trigger.

Playing the loyalty game in the NFL is a losing proposition.

Cowboys fans have been pleading for a powerful, run stuffing defensive tackle and imposing safety for years.

Instead of fixing what everyone sees is broken, Dallas has short-changed these positions with lesser, situational players who couldn’t start for most playoff teams. It’s passed time to stop ignoring critical positions on the defense.
