Cowboys Updates/Comments
Jerry Jones does not want Roy Williams nervous
At the NFL Scouting Combine owner and general manager Jerry Jones said he wanted his players to be "nervous" in 2010 so as to avoid complacency. Yet when the talk turned to Roy Williams, Jones was protective of the wide out.
How does he reconcile the two options?
You don't need to manufacture things to make Roy nervous, just our situation," Jones said, "and as a matter of fact his ability to handle the things that would make any of us nervous has been impressive to me and is one of the things we're encouraged about. He gets that from enough places but his ability to handle that from enough places is a big plus."
Jerry Jones wants to see Martellus Bennett become more consistent in approach
On Sunday tight end Martellus Bennett had some interesting things to say about his role in the Cowboys offense basically saying with more opportunity he would produce more.
He also said he had a long meeting with owner and general manager Jerry Jones. At the end of the season, Jones said it was time for Bennett to mature as a player. Some of his actions this off-season on various social media outlets have frustrated some fans.
Jones would not get into the discussion he had with Bennett, but he is still preaching the maturity theme.
"When you evaluate a player both from a standpoint of skill or a standpoint of the other intangibles when you see him do it, then you know he can do it. We've seen Martellus do everything that it takes to be an All-Pro football player. We've seen that happen. Now just like any real accomplished player, athlete, boxer or whatever, he's got to make it part of his every day makeup. If he does, he'll be a great player for the Cowboys."
