I gave Jerry too much credit
Well, I may have jumped the gun a bit with that last post. Apparently, Jerry isn’t the one that decided to let Wade talk. It seems it’s a league rule that all NFC head coaches that attend the owners’ meeting speak to the media on Wednesday. It’s really hard to fathom what goes through Jerry’s mind. He is, as has been posted here before, essentially the head coach of this team, and Wade is nothing but a defensive coordinating lackey. Below is a blog post from Todd Archer. I have highlighted what I am referring to.
Checking in from NFL Owners’ Meetings

The NFL is holding its Owners’ Meetings at the St. Regis Resort Monarch Beach, which just so happened to be where the folks at AIG decided to spend more than $400,000 on a retreat after receiving some bailout money.
A couple of topics to follow today will be the expected announcement of the Week 1 nationally televised games and compensatory picks. Barry Horn talked about some issues here regarding the Cowboys’ first game in Arlington.
The Cowboys already have nine picks in next month’s draft and could get two more today as a result of the free agent defections of Jacques Reeves (Houston) and Julius Jones (Seattle).
And, yes, Wade Phillips will speak but it has nothing to do with Jerry Jones lifting the gag order. It is a league rule that coaches attending the meetings talk with the media. Phillips – and the rest of the NFC coaches – will speak Wednesday morning. AFC coaches talk Tuesday.
