Derrick Henry, the star running back for the Baltimore Ravens, has been making waves this season with his outstanding performance. However, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is standing firm in his belief that passing on Henry during the offseason was the right decision for his team.
In a recent interview on 105.3 The FAN, Jones expressed his thoughts on the situation with Henry. He praised the running back for his success on the Ravens but questioned whether he would have been as successful in the Cowboys’ offense under Mike McCarthy.
“In my mind, we’re not playing very good football right now at all, and that’s beyond whether or not we have Derrick Henry,” Jones stated. “Derrick is having a career year. I don’t know if he’d be having that career year in our situation.”
Jones highlighted the difference in offensive styles between the Ravens and the Cowboys, stating, “He’s a real good complement to the type of offense [the Ravens] run. We don’t run that type of offense at all.”
Despite his praise for Henry, Jones reiterated his stance on not signing the running back during the offseason, citing concerns about salary cap management as a deciding factor.
Overall, Jones remains confident in his team and the talent they possess, emphasizing his belief in the Cowboys’ young players and the direction of the franchise. Though Henry may be thriving with the Ravens, Jones stands by his decision to pass on the veteran running back and is focused on building a successful team in Dallas.
