Cowboys News: Noncommittal Jerry Jones, rookie hype at all-time high

All eyes and ears were glued to phones and social media platforms awaiting Cowboys owner Jerry Jones’ statement regarding free agent safety Earl Thomas. In typical Jones fashion, he left the door cracked open. Jones said that he nor any other Cowboys official has spoken to Thomas but will keep Cowboys nation guessing for just a little longer.

The hype is real about this year’s defensive line. Size, speed and strength in numbers have Cowboys media beaming about the defensive front. Have all the rookies started off hot in Cowboys camp? Cee Dee Lamb and Trevon Diggs have really turned some heads. Mike McCarthy has a firm grip on this team and has started the new culture in the right direction. Ezekiel Elliott loves being the workhorse of the Cowboys running game but is willing to let the offense have a change of pace back to compliment his hard nosed running style. Less than three weeks away from opening night in front of zero fans in Hollywood. Here is today’s Cowboys news.

Size, speed, and strength in numbers . The Cowboys have entered camp with several new looks on the defensive line. Pick your poison as the defensive front pins their ears back and are ready to hunt.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones leaves a tiny bit of hope for any Cowboys fans that want Earl Thomas as a member of the 2020 squad. He shoots down a prominent NFL reporter and reiterates that only he has the real answers when it comes to the acquisition of Thomas.

It’s on the forefront of a lot of players in the league. The Cowboys in unison kneeled prior to the anthem in prayer once upon a time. Now, just years later, owner Jerry Jones still doesn’t have a concrete plan in place for when the time comes.

While Cowboys media has been focused on if or when Earl Thomas will be signed, Darian Thompson has been outworking the safety room and has himself in a position to snag a starting spot if he keeps up the effort. Ha Ha Clinton Dix will have to have a great next two weeks to make Mike McCarthy’s decision harder.

The fact that Earl Thomas has not been sign sealed and delivered to the Cowboys yet might be an indicator that Mike McCarthy has heavy influence on his entire roster. There is quite the chemistry being built in Frisco lately and a new player being added to the mix might not be the best idea.

It’s not about the carries this year for Ezekiel Elliott. The running back coming into his fifth year of action in the NFL says he’s willing to take a few snaps off in order for other electric players to make plays. As long as the wins pile up.

The first and second round picks for the Dallas Cowboys in the 2020 NFL Draft seem to be home runs. Lamb continues to score touch downs and Digg’s is making it difficult for wide receivers to get open.

There’s no clear cut plan as to what Jerry Jones will ultimately decide about the National Anthem. Some Cowboys are already set in their ways but ultimately it will be Jones’ grace that makes the ultimate decision.
