Jerry Jones Responds to Brandon Weeden’s Comments

Brandon Weeden went on The Franchise radio station this week, and took a hilarious shot at his former boss, Jerry Jones, on the current situation of the Dallas Cowboys.

“We get to play extra football and (Jerry Jones will) be watching on his couch. That’s what it’s all about. We’re playing for something and it’s a fun time of year,” he said.

Jones went on the radio with 105.3 The Fan in Dallas, and responded to Weeden’s comments – surprisingly taking some sort of delight in them.

“If you recall his parting shot was when they asked how he felt about his time here, he said he was pissed, the quote,” Jones said during the radio interview. “I like that. The thing that you wanted from him was competitiveness, caring, really getting in there and getting angst about it and really passionate about it. Boy, you got to have it there. It’s manifested in many different ways. It doesn’t have to come out in a real vocal way, but it’s got to be there. And, so, I’m really proud for him. I thought that was outstanding.”

The best part of the interview was the apparent shock that Weeden has found relative success just across the town.

Asked why the Cowboys couldn’t get the same production from him, Jones said,”I don’t have an answer for that,” he said. “I really don’t have an answer … Our read on him that he was better coming into a ballgame, but the whole week of preparation and getting ready to play was where his inexperience and whatever was showing. This wasn’t the case here. He had the whole week that Houston could prepare and I give their staff and give him their due. Good job.”
