Gerald McCoy is unwilling to take Jerry Jones' words at face value as the Cowboys try to figure out where their season is going.

Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones knows that things have to get better for the team. He recently opened up about a conversation he had with the head coach about the direction of the Cowboys.

The NFC East last week became the first division in NFL history to go consecutive weeks without one of its teams winning. That likely won’t become three, though, with the Eagles and Dallas Cowboys facing off on Monday Night Football and the New York Giants taking on the 2-4 Houston Texans.

A down year for the NFC East means there is still potential time to strike and make a run at the postseason.

There was plenty of offseason buzz surrounding the team — Dak Prescott called the team’s offense the “Greatest Offense There Is” and several analysts picked Dallas to make some noise in the postseason — the Cowboys are running out of games to salvage their season and live up to the hype.
