Cowboys owner and G.M. Jerry Jones remains committed to the bit.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, he justified trading linebacker Micah Parsons by explaining that the Cowboys need to stop the run<\/a>. On Saturday, he reiterated the position during an appearance on NFL Network.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur player that we got is outstanding,\u201d Jones said regarding defensive lineman Kenny Clark, via Tommy Yarrish of DallasCowboys.com. \u201cWe knew that, and he\u2019ll immediately start making plays for us here when we get up there against those Philadelphia Eagles. But the most important thing is we really wanted to stop the run<\/a>. And Micah\u2019s a wonderful football player. We think this gives us a better chance to stop the run. Other teams knew that, and they threw the ball out quick and they ran against us when we had Micah and they\u2019re really emphasizing pass rush.\u201d<\/p>\n

Still, when it\u2019s time to pass, Micah brings the heat. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe most important player on a football team is the quarterback,\u201d former Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said on Friday\u2019s PFT Live. \u201cThe second most important player on a football team is the guy who can negatively affect the quarterback<\/a>. And those guys are hard to come by, and ever since that guy has come into the league, he has been a dominant player.\u201d<\/p>\n

So now the Cowboys will have to hope they can muster a potent pass rush without Parsons. If they can\u2019t, they won\u2019t have to worry about whether they can stop the run.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cowboys owner and G.M.
