DaBoys Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 “When you’re 30 pounds overweight and you’re not doing anything about what’s keeping you from performing well on the field, there is no reason to get into the other stuff,” Jones told ESPN on Wednesday night. It’s unclear what Jones meant by “the other stuff.” Poe was the first Cowboy to kneel for the national anthem this year, and Jones was asked about that, but didn’t comment. “I understand your question and I’m deliberately not going to answer it,” Jones continued. “We have a platform here but the platform on the football field has a high standard, and he [Poe] was not up to the standard. He needed to correct that and he did not. I’m going to leave it at that.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never expected this team to lay an egg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy couldn't keep his weight in check to earn $500,000 (or something like that) and his production was basically nonexistent. So, yeah, I actually don't think Poe's decision to kneel had anything to do with his getting cut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mentioned it several times in the GDT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atran35 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Acquisition didn't pan out. These guys either went rogue( Worley rumored to free lance ); or underperformed( Poe ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
