Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones says the NFL needs to find a balance with its new roughing the passer rules.

He is all for safety but the application of the new rule that bars pass rushers from landing with their body weight on opposing quarterbacks has changed the game “as much as any one [rule] I have seen make a change from our past.”

Jones said on his radio show on 105.3 The Fan that future pro football should distinguish itself from college and high school football because the players are being paid to incur risk and it’s where the men are playing.
