reporter = Coach Robert Jensen some quick questions .
Jensen = yes

reporter = knowing you lost to Miami by 27 points what do you make of it??
Jensen = Just glad this is just the preseason because a shell shacking like that in the regular season really demoralizes the team's will during the regular season to the point they rather not play their games up to their ability .

reporter = knowing you have been Dallas' coach since 2014 , this team has NEVER made the playoffs , the best record this team has been able to get is 9-7 which was just last year and knowing that this is your last year on your contract what do you make of that?
Jensen = First off let me say glad we finally were able to get a winning record since I have been a coach here. Second off I do have to believe this could the year we make the playoffs because that's our next goal here that we haven't checked off and knowing we were so close last year has to give our team hope that we can do it indeed.

reporter = lets talk about the New York Giants who beat the Cincinnati Bengals 27-24 which gives them a 3 point win what do you make of that??
Jensen = I do have to imagine that they would win their first preseason game because really they have made the playoffs 4 straight years so I wouldn't think of any other way there game could have gone to a team like them.

reporter = lets talk about the Philadelphia Eagles who beat to Baltimore Ravens by the score 14-10 which gives them a 4 point win what do you make of that??
Jensen = I think they were glad to win that game just to get the 13 losses in a row out of their system that they had last year though they now have a new management style there so I guess we will have to wait and see what happens with this team during the regular season.

reporter = lets talk about the Washington Redskins who beat New England Patriots 43-17 which gives them a 26 point win what do you have to say about that??
Jensen = someone really needs to TEST those Washington Redskins for Steriods they won 48-17 in the league championship game over New England then they come back this preseason to beat them 43-17 . it really seems like they are out to get New England or someone who scheduled them for the preseason forget the beat down they suffered at the hands of the redskins and didn't want to take it easy on them at all this preseason . I just hope they don't face each other in the regular season or the playoffs unless New England can find a way to overcome the point difference between the 2 teams.

reporter = there is some talk that really that Dallas Cowboys is the 4th best team in their division and knowing that really Washington won by 26 points , Philadelphia won by 4 points and New York won by 3 points awhile Dallas lost by 27 points so what do have to say about that??
Jensen = I will say it again. Until someone from the division knocks Washington from their perch of being the league champ and New York from their perch of being a 4 time division champ that really the rest of the teams Dallas and Philadelphia are going to continue to look up at them. Now hopefully we haven't lost any ground on New York or Washington that we will be the 3rd best team in the division or maybe shock some people by coming in 1st or 2nd in our division because really we rather not look up at all 3 of the other 3 division teams because that would really deflate what we are still trying to accomplish here in Dallas.

Reporter = one last question out of all 16 games which game really surprised you??
Jensen = I would say the Denver-St. Louis Score which was 66-14 which comes out to a 52 point win by those Denver Broncos . What is the insult to injury is that both of them traded with each other 2 times 1st time = http://mfn8.myfootballnow.com/forums/1/412?page=0#774 and 2nd time = http://mfn8.myfootballnow.com/forums/1/413?page=0#780 . By the looks of it Denver came out WAY AHEAD in that if maybe if St. Louis doesn't do those 2 trades with Denver the score would have been closer than it was .
