After Parsons declared the Cowboys the "top in the NFC" and compared their defence to some of the best in league history, Jones offered a similar take. "I will say that Philadelphia, and if you will, the Giants and Washington team, they need to be on their game because we are," Jones said. "We're going to be on our game," he added. "And we will be improved over last year. I don't want dismiss how accomplished Philadelphia is, the year they had last year and where they're starting this year. I don't want to dismiss that. And the Giants definitely have a chance to be better. And Washington could be really energized. So I don't need to handicap it relative to where we'll end up. Just us, we are better." In typical fashion, Jones has routinely briefed the media during training camp. He sparked controversy last week when he downplayed Zack Martin's contract holdout, telling the star offensive lineman that other players needed payment. "It's not about precedent, it's about facts," Jones said of the Martin stalemate. "We need the money to pay Parsons. We need the money to pay the players that we got to pay in the future. That's a fact." His comments about divisional foes will likely ignite further debate, this time from rival fans who relished seeing Dallas crumble against the San Francisco 49ers in the playoffs last year. It will add pressure to a group of players who fell short of Super Bowl expectations. Then again, defensive leader Parsons doesn't mind boastful talk. Maybe that's why Jones is so eager to pay big money to the All-Pro superstar. "What do I think this defence can be? I think we can be up there){kind=link}

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones agrees with linebacker Micah Parsons’ rosy assessment of the upcoming NFL season, boldly claiming the rest of the NFC East could be playing catch-up in 2023.

“We’re going to be on our game,” he added. “And we will be improved over last year.
