Why is Jason Garrett pretending like he has any say in the matter? Jerry Jones makes the decisions on who plays or not. If Tony Romo shot 3 people at 7-11 and Jones wanted him to play, he would play. When Dez Bryant slapped his mother, he didn’t get disciplined at all. This is all PC lip service currently from Garrett.
According to Brandon George of the Dallas Morning News, coach Jason Garrett said he told his players they won’t be allowed to play in games upon charges, regardless any due process.
“Part of what our jobs are as coaches is to create the right environment for our players to function both on and off the field,” Garrett said. “So we need to be clear about where we are. We need to be clear that we have a structure in place to help anybody who has any off-the-field issues.
“Me as a coach, position coaches, player programs, departments, we have a lot of resources here to help guys. So that was the first message, if you’re dealing with anything off the field and we can help with, we’re here for you. Having said that, there are standards that we have about all off-the-field behavior and certainly domestic violence applies to that. We’re just very clear with how we’re going to handle things.”
CJ Spillman the Cowboy accused of rape, hasn’t been charged with anything, so he will continue to play. It is easy though to make an example out of special teams player, if he is indeed charged, I doubt if it was a core starter it would the same.
