Dez Bryant and Jerry Jones continue to exchange excitement as offensive Cowboys continue

Hilarious Jerry Jones says that the Cowboys are not too far from the Rams last week, but he seems to give up this comparison. Dak Prescott must still score 300 yards this season and watch DeAndre Hopkins shred Cowboy defense Sunday night seemed to give Jones an epiphany: A No. 1 receiver would be very useful for Prescott. … but where to find one?

"I'd love to have the No.1 Receivers," Jones said after the 105.3 The Fan match, via Complex. "You have to get them when the opportunities come in. Hopkins is great, he created games that made all the difference."

Dez Bryant, who was released by the Cowboys this season and expressed interest in joining the team, immediately saw his shot and fired.

Idk what Jerry meant by this No. 1 WR but I'm sure I would have kept them moving …

At present, the depth chart of the Cowboys is led by the acquisition of free agents Allen Hurns, Deonte Thompson, Beasley Cole and Tavon Austin. Beasley leads the team with 193 yards while running back Ezekiel Elliott is the favorite in the catches with 22.

"We have multiple receivers, and everyone brings something to the table for us, "Jones said during his weekly show on The Fan Monday.

He added that having no Receiver # 1 is not unusual and that Cowboys fall into this category – and have been for some time.

"That has not been our case here for many years now … not a real number one," Jones said. "My definition of a number one receiver, that is Julio Jones, is DeAndre – there are not many of these guys in the NFL."

For his part, Bryant seemed to agree with this assessment.

As a catcher playing for the Dallas Cowboys, your mind must be fair because you will never see targets like Ab Obj d hop any of those guys … I've never been bothered by things that I have moved my entire career. .. they had J Witten as our No. 1 so Jerry was right

Although this is considered honest criticism, Bryant certainly feeds not so great feelings about his time with the Cowboys here. He has not seen a 1,000-yard season since 2014, which means he does not think it's due to any decline on his part. Last year, Bryant had 69 catches for 838 yards, a first in both categories, but he seems to believe he can do more.

As the Cowboys continue their fight at 2-3, we will see how they will try to solve this passing game while the NFC East remains wide open. Bryant remains an independent player, but his Twitter will apparently keep us informed of his interest in returning to the NFL – especially the Cowboys.
