Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones had plenty to say to those still doubting the team after a 2-1 start to 2014.

“I think we’ve shown some things that would cause you to hold in discounting us,” Jones said, via the Star-Telegram and NBC's Pro Football Talk. “That’s an awkward way of saying that we should be looked at out of the corner of peoples’ eye. We’ve got to do it, though. We’ve got to put it together, with putting the right people on the field as it relates to injury, and that’s happening for us. We could have [Henry] Melton out there this weekend. We could have [Rolando] McClain out there this weekend. We could have [Tyrone] Crawford moving over as the No. 3 tackle, and then moving out to end. Why? Because Anthony Spencer is going to be out there taking some snaps. Now that’s serious stuff."

Jones was just getting started.

“Get [Justin] Durant back in there, get [Rolando] McClain back at linebacker. Now, all of a sudden we’ve got about three or four players out there that arguably are the best defensive players that we hadn’t had the last two or three games," Jones added. "That’s a big deal. And if we’re that, then I think [Tony] Romo’s certainly getting his timing down. I like the experience our offensive line is getting and has gotten in these three games. Yes. Yeah. We need to be glanced at over here.”

Nobody will discount the Dallas Cowboys if they beat the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, pushing their record to 3-1. If they do just that, don't say Jerry didn't tell you so.
