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.

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.

Jerry Jones searched for a bargain when hiring a head coach, which led to Brian Schottenheimer's promotion. Now, that move is costing the team in a major way.
