From ESPN:
IRVING, Texas -- The Cowboys have released Adam "Pacman" Jones and a team source told ESPN's Ed Werder that the move was made after the team learned of new allegations against the troubled cornerback from his time with the Titans.
Jones' release came after "Outside the Lines" reporter John Barr contacted the NFL, the Cowboys and Jones' attorneys about a piece scheduled to air Sunday in which three Atlanta-area men allege that Jones arranged for someone to shoot at them two months after the football player was suspended by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell in 2007.
The June 2007 shooting occurred outside a suburban Atlanta strip club. One of the shooting victims told "Outside the Lines" that he had a dispute with Jones inside the strip club and that not long after he and the two others left the club, a hail of bullets struck their car. The NFL knew about that incident, but charges were never brought against anyone because the victims did not see the shooter.

The Cowboys traded for Jones before the season even though he had been suspended in 2007 because of a series of off-field incidents. Jones, expected to give the Cowboys a boost on defense and special teams, had no interceptions and averaged just 4.6 yards per punt return.
"He was surprised, and I think he was obviously somewhat hurt," said Worrick Robinson, Jones' agent. "At the same time, he understands the business behind what is happening here."
Garbage in garbage out that's what I say.

I think the Cowboys should cut TO (probably should have cut or suspended like the Panthers did to Steve Smith to send a message a few weeks ago), try and pick up a really good possession receiver in free agency or (less likely) the draft, and then try to remake themselves as a ball control team with Barber and Felix Jones and that other rookie who looked great at the end of the year rushing 35-40 times a game. I don't know if Romo can play that kind of ball (it's like asking a Viper to do 55 on the highway), but I always got the feeling that Garrett and Phillips had too many ingredients last year, and they just didn't know what to do with them all.

ReplyDeleteTo use your analogy, if you hae a Viper do you WANT to go 55? Or do you get a driver who knows how to handle 150? Thats why I want Mike Martz as OC. We would blow teams out with him behind the wheel.
