Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones and his son, executive vice president Stephen Jones, attended the NFL Honors awards over the weekend in San Francisco.
While on the red carpet, the two talked with CBS 11's Keith Russell about getting the Cowboys back to the Super Bowl and the areas they need to improve.
"It's inspirational," Jerry Jones said of being around the Super Bowl festivities. " It makes you want to just empty your bucket to get in here and have this kind of experience. We feel that way. It's deliberate.
"I hate it. I scream in my pillow when I go home at night when we're here. I want [the Dallas Cowboys] to be here so bad,
but it's filling my bucket up so we can go."
While discussing where the Cowboys need to improve most, Stephen Jones mentioned backup quarterback and putting pressure on opposing quarterbacks.
Dallas was 1-11 when Tony Romo was sidelined with a broken collarbone. In terms of getting to the quarterback, the
Cowboys ranked 25th with 31 sacks. The teams playing in the Super Bowl, Denver and Carolina, finished with 52 and 44 sacks, respectively.
"Candidly, I'm just counting on Tony to come back and have some of the greatest years, if not the best years, of his career," Jerry Jones said. "We want to make sure that we've got him the supporting cast. Defense, as Stephen said, is a big part of that. We tried to do it this year. We didn't get here. We'll keep trying to get it done. We got to be able to stop them."
