Jerry Jones addresses fan frustration with Cowboys' 1-2 start

The Dallas Cowboys are 1-2 and tied for last in the NFC East with their opponent on Thursday Night Football - the New York Giants.

While they are just one game behind the Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Commanders, how the Cowboys lost at home to the New Orleans Saints and Baltimore Ravens over the last two weeks is cause for concern.

Among the biggest concerns is the team's leaky run defense, which has allowed a league-high 557 yards on the ground this season. The offense, while nowhere near as bad, could use another weapon or two.

So, who's to blame for the Cowboys' early-season shortcomings? According to a poll conducted by WFAA, Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones shoulders the most blame - garnering 78 percent of the votes from fans.

Jerry Jones was asked for his reaction to the results when he joined Shan and RJ on Tuesday morning.

"That's very fair. It's well known that no decision is ultimately made [if I don't approve it]. That's very fair," Jones said on 105.3 The Fan. "How could you think otherwise?... Now, let me just say this. Do I have a huge amount of input in making those decisions when they've done their homework? They (Cowboys staff members) [provide] very influential input to me. And we've got a lot of people in the Dallas Cowboys that have done their input and I think I've forgotten what it is now. I'm not trying to say this, but if you look at who's won the games over the last four or five years, Kansas City has of course, but we're not far (off). We're right in that pack now. We're in a soft spot. We've got to get out of it. But I accept that completely. I don't know how you could look at it otherwise."

On to Week 4.
