ESPN REPORT: Emmitt Smith am sorry reason why i left Dallas Cowboys today….
Although the Dallas Cowboys have consistently had some of the most intriguing franchise tales in the NFL, it’s nearly hard to guess what Jerry Jones and company will come up with in 2024.
If you pay attention to Jones, he continues to support his claim that Dallas is going “all in” in 2024 in an attempt to win another Lombardi Trophy and eventually overcome their playoff disadvantage.
There have been circulating rumors about a health problem. However, after watching the tape, it becomes clear that Powers’ snap accuracy—which is something no one is discussing—may be another factor contributing to his decline. Everyone who plays offensive line talks about how good these players are at blocking, but what’s often forgotten about centers is how good they are at snapping the ball. He can be inconsistent for Powers. Bo Nix is scurrying around wildly to recover one of the several failed snaps that is close to the goal line. Scouts may have focused on anything related to this.
The most likely explanation for Powers’ problems is because he hasn’t played at college center. For the most part of his career, he was a backup and rotation player; his finest season was actually the one in which he started. It’s only a possibility that Powers may be faltering, not an attempt to undermine what he has accomplished thus far or his strengths.
Scouts have told me that teams do not have as much faith in Oregon center Jackson Powers-Johnson as the media seems to have over the last two weeks. At the Senior Bowl, JPJ had a great first session before limping out of the second one due to a hamstring strain. He was able to ascend over draft boards because of that first impression. He then performed well in position drills at the combine, skipping the most of the other drills and only doing the bench press and vertical and broad jumps before closing it down. Teams have told me that, although he might be selected in the first round, there is little chance that he would be chosen in the first 25 picks given where teams are selecting.
