Jerry Jones think Cowboys and Rams are not so different

Jerry Jones does not look at his Dallas Cowboys and sees a team of 1 to 2 or 31st in the league. No, Jones looks from his owner's box at AT & T Stadium and sees a team that has the potential to be the Rams when it comes to moving the ball.

"Well, I like our offensive line when it compares to the Rams," said Jones at 105.3 The Fan Friday. "I think it's fair to say we have good hopes."

Ezekiel Elliott entered the fourth week as co-leader of the league. But then, there is the claim of the Cowboys offensive line. This was the case when the franchise made DeMarco Murray the leader of the league. It was true in 2016, when she made rookie Elliott the NFL's top rookie. But now that Doug Free has retired, Travis Frederick is coming out with Guillain-Barre Syndrome, and then the unit looks at a few steps removed from those days of salad.

But Jones did not succeed.

"I remember [Jared] Goff when he first arrived, they moved at a slightly slower pace than Dak [Prescott] I must say that we were as proud of Dak as those who are proud of their watch.

There is no doubt that he is proud of Dak Prescott, who was perfect in 2018 despite the lack of weapons at his side.

But Jones's other comments are … a little ambitious.

"So when I see them launching in a way that creates the offense they've had," Jones continued. "I look at our staff – I do not need to see him to see him."

When host Mike Bacsik, who raised the Rams in the first place, pointed out the flaws in Jones' comparison, the longtime owner hit him with the septuagenarian equivalent of a good shot: ", joked Jones.

Compare, starting with blocking. Los Angeles allowed Goff to be fired five times in four games – a sack rate of 3.6%. Prescott was launched 11 times out of three – an 11% bag rate that would have been the worst in 2017.

Then there is the Prescott-Goff comparison. It does not matter how they started: here's how they stack up now:

This is … not great for Dak. But it's not too bad, because Goff is surrounded by weapons. Brandin Cooks, Cooper Kupp and Robert Woods are at the rendezvous for more than 1,200 yards in four games. Todd Gurley has a chance to break 2000 yards from the scrum. These guys are very good!

Meanwhile, Prescott Elliott ran well in the backfield but only won 3.4 yards per shot. Her main receiver is Cole Beasley, who has 12 catches and 132 yards in three games. The rest of his target tree includes players like Deonte Thompson, Geoff Swaim, Austin Tavern, Michael Gallup, Terrance Williams and Allen Hurns. This is undoubtedly extremely unpleasant.

As a result, the Cowboys rank second in the offensive this season and 30th in offense. The Rams rank second and second. The Rams have a creative offensive spirit that starts playing Sean McVay. The Cowboys have Scott Linehan, whose strategy is so far stuck in the mid-2000s, he is probably complaining The SopranosFinal of the series somewhere on the Internet.

More importantly, Los Angeles is 4-0. Dallas beat the unfortunate giants and nobody else.

Look, we get it. Jones owns the Cowboys, and part of his job is to inflate and sell his Cowboys as an unethical chicken farmer. It's not going to let little things like statistics or reality get in the way. And this may be a slow start to Texas and in Week 8, the team will be back to its 2016 form.

But it is more likely that 2018 is another season where the game on the field does not match the expectations of the team. Jones is not going to tell you, though. Because he is starting to tell you that his team is far from being great, you could stop watching the Cowboys.
