Smith is notorious for enjoying the Cowboys’ struggles, but he admitted he had an opportunity to speak to Jerry and Stephen Jones out in Brazil last week.The ESPN analyst even said that he praised the work done by Jones over the offseason.Photo by Stacy Revere/Getty ImagesStephen A. Smith shares Jerry Jones interaction during Dallas Cowboys’ Brazil tripIt was a narrow defeat for the Cowboys out in Brazil, with a final-second field goal by the Baltimore Ravens securing the victory.As coaching decisions continue to be scrutinised on the back of the loss in Rio de Janeiro, Smith shared exactly what he said to Jones about his Cowboys.“I told Jerry, and I told Stephen this, on the field in Brazil. I said, “They did their job in terms of accumulating talent,” said Smith.“You don’t look at this team and look like it’s bereft of talent. There’s something missing, but the talent ain’t it.”The talent certainly cannot be denied in Dallas, but there is something clearly just not right inside the Cowboys.Having acquired the level of players that Jones has, this team is not one that should be heading into Week Four of the season looking to break .500.Brian Schottenheimer is now in his second year as the head coach in Dallas, with an awful lot still yet to prove.Read more:Jaxon Smith-Njigba names the NFL-bound college player just ‘like Lebron James’JJ Watt claims Derrick Henry is ‘without question’ a Hall of Famer after reaching NFL milestoneWhy Micah Parsons is ‘so disappointed’ with the Vikings for trading J.J.
