NFL presenter Dan Orlovsky ripped into Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones for his recent comments on Baltimore Ravens rusher Derrick Henry. The Dallas Cowboys let Henry go after failing to finalize a deal during the offseason.
Jerry Jones initially noted money was the key reason behind the failure of a contract finalization. Recently, he made another statement on Henry, claiming that the 30-year-old wouldn’t fit into the Dallas Cowboys offense. Adding the can’t-do card has gone down poorly as the Cowboys have stumbled to a 3-3 start.
Orlovsky couldn’t believe that Jones would say something along these lines. Speaking in an episode of Get Up, Orlovsky expressed his surprise, as well as gave a very unfiltered counter to the Cowboys owner.
If Derrick Henry doesn’t fit your offense, then change your offense… Guess what, the Cowboys doesn’t have a 50-yard run this season, Derrick Henry has 12. What do you think is the flaw? The player or the offense?
Dan Orlovsky said
Orlovsky highlighted several aspects of how Derrick Henry, as an individual, has played better than the entire Cowboys franchise in the season. He also expressed his opinion that Jones should be handling the footballing decisions. Despite various calls to bring in a new coach, Jones has been stubborn on his decision as if they want to remain mediocre.

He has averaged 124.7 through the first seven games with 873 yards. The 873 yards is the highest number of rushing yards by any player since DeMarco Murray in 2014 for the Cowboys.
Jeff Saturday calls out Jerry Jones after recent Derrick Henry drama
NFL Insider Jeff Saturday doesn’t believe what Jerry Jones has been selling for the past weeks. Saturday expressed concern, via ESPN Get Up, regarding Jones’ statement about Derrick Henry being an unfitting candidate in Dallas.
Saturday claimed that Jerry Jones has been feeding people ‘lies’ and making excuses. He noted that Derrick Henry would have bolstered the Cowboys, by creating a better support for Dak Prescott.
You know what they told Lamar — walk up onto the Centre and turn around and hand it to the guy who’s going to be behind you. It helps. You know who else it helps — Lamar Jackson. Who would it have helped — Dak Prescott.
Jeff Saturday said
He pointed out that Henry also struggled to fit in the Ravens’ system but still became a crucial part of their game plan. Saturday also suggested that Jones should accept his mistakes and agree that he has failed to form a solid roster.
