The\u00a0Dallas Cowboys are still recovering from their humiliating 47-9 loss\u00a0to the Detroit Lions on October 13, marking the fifth-worst defeat in franchise history. Adding to the sting, the blowout occurred on\u00a0team owner and general manager Jerry Jones’ 82nd birthday, who was watching from his suite at AT&T Stadium.<\/p>\n

Jones recently expressed his frustration, stating that he believes\u00a0the team is either failing to execute plays properly or is simply designing poor ones, via CBS Sports.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe’re designing bad plays, or we’re designing bad concepts,\u201d Jones said on 105.3 The Fan in Dallas. \u201cThe facts are that there’s some of that, but there’s also some execution [issues]. There’s some of the talent. I like our talent, I really do like our talent. I like our young talent, but young talent has a few more mistakes associated with it than if you’re dealing with a veteran player.\u201d<\/p>\n

And it wasn’t long before head coach\u00a0Mike McCarthy would respond to his boss, saying that while the team isn’t where it should be with a record of 3-3, he doesn’t believe that the plays and concepts are the wrong ones.<\/p>\n

\u201cI talk to Jerry all the time. We\u2019ve had time to go through the self-scout. I didn\u2019t see the comments specifically. But I don\u2019t think we have bad concepts and bad plays. But I\u2019ll go back and check,\u201d McCarthy said. \u201cWe\u2019re not where we want to be. That\u2019s clear, and that\u2019s ultimately my responsibility and I\u2019m fully aware of that. We\u2019re very diligent. We\u2019re on top of what we want to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cJust going back to the Detroit game, I know it was the first run of the game,\u201d he continued. \u201cWe practiced it a number of times. I got the look we were expecting, and we had the wrong declaration based on communication. So at the end of it, we just got to tighten up our communication and make sure our guys are playing fast.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Cowboys are back in action on Sunday, taking on the rival San Francisco 49ers from Levi Stadium in Santa Clara, California.<\/p>\n
