Jason Garrett isn’t clapping much these days.
The Dallas Cowboys will begin their preseason slate on Saturday against the San Francisco 49ers, but it does not look like Jason Garrett is too thrilled about the upcoming game.
The head coach is not happy with the way the team has performed through 10 practices.
“We’re way far off as a team,” Garrett said. “We’re not even close.”
Some of their better players are absent from the team. DeMarcus Lawrence and Byron Jones are both on PUP, with Tyrone Crawford being listed on short-term PUP. Sean Lee has been watching from the sidelines as well as Zack Martin.
Not to mention, Ezekiel Elliott has missed every single practice due to holding out for a new contract.
“I thought there were some flashes on both sides of the ball and the kicking game, flashing in each of the three units,” Garrett said of the Blue-White. “But we’re not even close. Back to work. This is an important three-day stretch for us now.”
“The consistency you need with players, with units, throughout practice, young guys, how we communicate, we’re just a long way off,” Garrett said before backing down a bid, conceding that maybe the struggles are to be expected.
“I don’t think it’s unique,” he said. “Six real practices into training camp, that’s where teams are. … It’s incumbent on us to clean it up as coaches and get back here the next three days and really take the next step as a football team. … We’re not close.”
