The Cowboys continue to be flummoxed by the refusal of three high-profile offensive players to take their “generous” offers. And so the Cowboys are doing whatever they have to do to get those players to conclude that they shouldn’t insist on every last dollar they can get.Even though they should.On Wednesday
Cheap Maliek Collins Youth Jersey , Cowboys COO Stephen Jones ventured into delicate territory by inserting the team into the relationship between players and their agents.“I have a lot of respect for, you know, most agents,” Jones told reporters, via Jason Owens of Yahoo Sports. “I really do. I think they’re trying to do their job for these players. But I do think sometimes they don’t have the end game that maybe the players should and we do.”Basically, Jones believes that the agents’ focus on maximum the value of a short-term contract minimizes the effort of the player to achieve his long-term goals.“I think sometimes our players have to realize that their representatives don’t always have what’s in the best interest, getting the very most they can for the players may not be in the interest of their long-term future if they want to – and I’m totally [convinced] all our players do — want to win championships and keep these young players right now. I don’t think the representatives, and they’re all good ones, feel like that’s their problem.”Stephen Jones isn’t necessarily wrong; indeed, some agents have shrugged at a player’s chance of winning a Super Bowl because they don’t get three percent of the ring. But Stephen Jones is definitely the wrong person to be making this argument. Between agents and teams, agents ALWAYS are more concerned about boosting the players’ best interests. The teams are interested only in their own best interests, and they will bench, cut, trade, etc. any player the moment that the player no longer can help the team.That’s true regardless of whether the player hires an agent on a percentage-based fee, retains a lawyer at an hourly rate, or negotiates the deal on his own. The goal for the player in every case is, or at least should be, to secure maximum compensation for the abilities, sacrifices, and risks undertaken by NFL players, both short-term and long-term. Now more than ever, given all we know about the very real health effects of the sport, football players should in every instance strive to get the most they can for playing football.As players like Peyton Manning and Darrelle Revis firmly believed, it’s their job to get the most money, and it’s the team’s job to manage the salary cap. The Cowboys want to make their job of fitting a bunch of great players under the salary cap easier by saying and doing anything they can to get their players to take less. It’s one thing, however, to suggest that there’s an inherent value to being a Dallas Cowboy. It’s quite another to pretend that the team cares about the player more than his agent does.Indeed, only one day before Stephen Jones suggested that the teams has the players’ best interests in mind, his father made it clear that .“The team takes precedent at a point over the opinion or the demand of the individual
White Ezekiel Elliott Jersey ,” Jerry Jones said at the press conference unveiling a team-friendly deal for linebacker Jaylon Smith that, given his injury history, he was not inclined to reject. “The team takes precedent. This was a team move we are talking about today. The team takes precedent, and I’ve got the backbone to keep it that way.”Jerry has the backbone to keep it that way (until he doesn’t), and Stephen is trying to make the players’ knees wobbly by suggesting that they shouldn’t listen to the efforts of those who have been hired to get them the best deals possible. This tactic demonstrates why all players need good agents; if given the chance, any NFL team will run roughshod financially over any and every player, paying as little as possible — especially when trying to keep a broad nucleus of talent in place.

Neither of those choices come as a big surprise. But perhaps there’s more debate to be had around the best fullback in franchise history. Sure, Daryl Johnston is widely known and has three Super Bowl rings to his name, but there’s more than just the Moose in the annals of Cowboys fullback history. For those who are old enough to remember, the fullback used to be a really important position in all of football, especially to Tom Landry’s offense. Fullbacks were given their name because initially they lined up the furthest back from the line of scrimmage, with the quarterback flanked by two half backs. As such, fullbacks saw more usage as runners and catchers. As the game evolved, teams began placing the fullback in front of one halfback to use them as a blocker, but Landry’s Cowboys still used the fullback in the running game. Don Perkins was the first fullback for Dallas, and while he sat out the 1960 inaugural season with a broken foot, he made his impact known in his first year. He led the team in carries with 200 and racked up 815 yards and four touchdowns. Perkins also made an impact in the receiving game, with the third most catches and 298 yards. At one point that season, he became the first Cowboy ever to rush for 100 yards in a game. He won Rookie of the Year for his efforts.Perkins, a strong and physically dominant presence, enjoyed a successful eight-year career with America’s Team in which he finished top ten in rushing yards every season. Perkins was named an All Pro three times and was named to the Pro Bowl six times. He finished his career with 6,217 rushing yards and 42 touchdowns and helped lead the team to its first winning season, first playoff appearance, and first playoff victory towards the end of his career. Perkins’ 6,217 rushing yards is still good for third most in franchise history behind Emmitt Smith and Tony Dorsett. Perkins was replaced by Walt Garrison, who had been sharing snaps with Perkins since being drafted in 1966. While his usage had gradually increased the previous three seasons
Ezekiel Elliott Jersey 2019 , Garrison had yet to log over 50 carries in a single season. But with Perkins retired, Garrison broke out in the 1969 season with 176 carries and 818 yards, but just two touchdowns. The emergence of speedster Calvin Hill at halfback ate up some of Garrison’s usage as a runner, but he was still effective. Garrison wasn’t able to find the recognition that Perkins had, only making one Pro Bowl appearance in six seasons as the top fullback. He still finished his career with 3,886 rushing yards and 30 touchdowns. And unlike Perkins, Garrison was able to retire with a Super Bowl ring, helping to put the finishing touch on what Perkins had helped start. During his time as a Cowboy, Garrison made a reputation for his dependability, leading to this legendary quote from Garrison’s quarterback, Don Meredith:After Garrison, the fullback reigns were handed over to Robert Newhouse, arguably the last traditional fullback in Cowboys history. With Hill leaving for the World Football League and Garrison’s retirement, Newhouse became the Cowboys’ primary runner, which Garrison never was with Hill there. Just as Garrison had done, Newhouse had been gradually given more carries the last three seasons before taking over. In 1975, Newhouse carried the ball 209 times for 930 yards and two touchdowns. Newhouse would enjoy a six year career as the primary fullback, but he saw a decrease in carries when Tony Dorsett arrived in 1977. Still, Newhouse finished with two All Pro selections and is the fifth leading rusher in franchise history. Pus, he got to throw a touchdown in Super Bowl XII: Newhouse was succeeded by Ron Springs, who was used more as a blocker for Dorsett, by then a bona fide star at running back. While Springs did have two seasons with 150+ carries, he marked the turning point in the way Landry’s offense used the fullback. Nevertheless, Springs was a great blocker, opening up plenty of holes for Dorsett throughout his career. Released after the 1984 season, Springs finished his Cowboys tenure with 604 carries for 2,180 yards and 28 touchdowns. He also saw significantly more use as a receiver with 222 catches for 2,028 yards and 10 touchdowns. A few years later saw the rise of the Moose, Daryl Johnston. By that time, the fullback had become a blocker first and foremost
Dallas Cowboys Randy Gregory Jersey , and new head coach Jimmy Johnson subscribed to that view. Johnston earned a fierce reputation as a blocker, clearing the way for Herschel Walker and Emmitt Smith throughout his career, as well as contributing sparingly as a runner and as a decent pass catcher. Johnston was so good at his often thankless job that he forced the NFL to create a spot for the fullback position in the Pro Bowl, to which Johnston was named twice. A neck injury forced Johnston to retire after the 1999 season, but he finished with 232 carries, 753 rushing yards, eight touchdowns, 294 catches, 2,227 receiving yards, and 14 touchdowns over his 11 years in Dallas.Since then, few fullbacks have managed to make a name for themselves in Dallas, and the league-wide attitude towards the position has shifted dramatically. There is one post-Moose fullback who deserves some praise, though, and it’s Tony Fiammetta. While he only played one year for the Cowboys in 2011, his blocking can largely be attributed to the success of DeMarco Murray, who had a career breakout that year. Heading into Week 6, the Cowboys were 2-3 and had an ineffective running game. Fiammetta, who barely saw any time, was used almost exclusively as a blocker. With Murray taking a heavy load of snaps due to Felix Jones’ injury, Fiammetta came in frequently to block for him. It resulted in Murray’s record-breaking 253 yard game. Running behind Fiammetta, Murray ran for 601 yards over four weeks with a whopping eight yards per carry. When Fiammetta missed time with an illness, Murray’s production dropped off and he failed to run for 100 yards in a game the rest of the season. Fiammetta wasn’t re-signed by the Cowboys and he retired three years later, but he was easily the most effective fullback the Cowboys have had since Johnston. With Moose on the mind, though, let’s ask the question:
