Dallas Cowboys enthusiast Jamie Foxx got an unexpected glimpse into team operations when he was invited to observe a recent practice session.
The Cowboys have had a challenging start to the NFL season, kicking things off with a victory over the Cleveland Browns, but facing a harsh reality check with a significant loss to the New Orleans Saints last weekend, where they allowed 44 points.
Historically, the Cowboys have performed well at home under the leadership of Mike McCarthy, yet they were outmatched by Derek Carr and the Saints.
This week, Foxx was treated to a behind-the-scenes look at the Cowboys’ practice, with team owner Jerry Jones sharing insights while they observed together.
During a live stream of the practice, Foxx received some candid remarks from Jones, including a rather personal detail about one player, which he overheard while nodding along.
Realizing the potential fallout from broadcasting such sensitive information, Foxx promptly cut off the live stream.
Jones is known for his candid public persona, and this revelation surprised many regarding the extent of his knowledge about player specifics.
Challenges on the Field
The Cowboys are currently facing difficulties, especially on the offensive end, as the running game has faltered since Ezekiel Elliott returned to the team. In light of fan requests for new running back options, Jones addressed the situation directly.
“A new running back isn’t something we’re considering right now. This is a strange situation for me, as I’ve never encountered so much scrutiny over our running back position,” he stated.
“I’m confident in Elliott’s performance and look forward to seeing him compete against a familiar face (Derrick Henry) this week. Both players entered the league together, and I’m satisfied with what Zeke brings to the team.” In case of ongoing struggles, the Cowboys do have Dalvin Cook available on their practice squad, offering a reliable alternative if needed.
