Jerry Jones not worried about Phillips-Garrett relationship
In the wake of Sunday night's meltdown on the final play of the first half, when the Redskins returned a fumble for the eventual winning touchdown on a botched play, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said he has no issues about how head coach Wade Phillips interacts with offensive coordinator Jason Garrett.
According to Calvin Watkins of ESPNdallas.com, Phillips has veto power on any offensive call.
"He certainly does relay and depend and delegate to Jason regarding the offensive play calling but let's make that real clear. Wade can call anything he wants to out there or stop any call that is made out there."
On Thursday, Jones was asked about a coaching decision toward the end of the first half which the Cowboys didn't take a knee and called for a pass play. Tony Romo wound up giving the ball to running back Tashard Choice, who fumbled. The ball was returned by DeAngelo Hall for a touchdown. Instead of trailing 3-0 at halftime, they were down 10-0.
"It's not an issue," Jones said. "(Phillips and Garrett) have a real good relationship and on that we've done some very successful things because of [it] and it will continue between them. As far as it affects our team, I don't think it will be an issue."
