Not sure why this is news. It’s not new. Jerry has been doing this since he bought the team. The guys in the 90’s won 3 Super Bowls with Jerry marketing the team the way he does.

All this tells me is that Dalton Schultz is scared of the bright lights and big stage.

Sounds like sour grapes to me. But there has been a culture problem for a very long time in Dallas. The fact that Jerry and Stephen deny there is a culture problem is proof to me there is one.

I think he just hated being the second best tight end in the nfc East behind Dallas goedert

How come Parsons was officially listed as LB in every game last season?

No idea because he played mostly DE.

Do you mean edge rusher? LB includes edge rushers, that's why currently the position has higher salary at the top.

If the Cowboys ran a 3-4 he would be an Edge. They don’t though. Their base defense is a 4-3 so he’s an End. Sometimes he stands from the End position but he’s a DE.

Schultz is probably right. Houston HAS to have a great culture in their locker room. I mean look at all the Super Bowls they’ve won. Someone should also ask DeShaun Watson how the Houston culture is.

I don't know much about the Cowboys defense, but if Dan Quinn is still running the Seahawks scheme, they used to have a hybrid DE/OLB.

Especially after they lost their first team to Tennessee. But they did add many message parlors.

I think Watson's problem was rather that the Houston culture exhilarated him too much.

Since the Texans' inaugural season 22 years ago neither team has won a Super Bowl. The Texans have more playoff wins.

Quinn has kind of changed his philosophy.

In Dallas they were more of a man team. A lot of two high & man coverage. Not the typical cover 3 stuff that he ran in Seattle.

Even Pete made a change a couple of years ago. He flipped to the fangio scheme. Which was a disaster & didn't work. It's primarily why he lost his job.

But if the Cowboys really had a better culture than the Texans shouldn't that have translated to meaningful banners in the last 30 years?

My point is the culture in Dallas has been the same since Jerry bought the team. The culture was fine in the beginning. They won 3 Super Bowls with the exact same culture. Maybe the problem is with the players?

What if the culture was only fine under Jimmy Johnson?

We all know the way the Jones run things is not exactly how any of us would run things however I find it kind of hard to believe that Jimmy is the ONLY coach that could ever handle the culture. Did something change when he went to Miami? Was he not able to handle the culture there?

Bill Parcels is a HOF coach, he wasn’t able to handle the culture either? McCarthy has had 3 consecutive 12 win seasons, does he all of a sudden forget how to handle the culture once the playoffs start? He seems to handle it fine during the regular season.

So is the problem the culture or is it the players? Are they not able to handle the culture or are they not able to handle the pressure? We all saw the look in Dak’s eyes during that last playoff game. Was the culture getting to him or was it the pressure of the situation?

That’s a legit question, I’m not trying to be sarcastic.

I actually found it shocking that Dalton Schultz said Jerry Jones lets fans watch the players work out.

Like at best a player only finds that creepy, at worst it reinforces the impression that the main priority in Dallas isn't to win games, but to provide a spectacle.
