Coach Jason Garrett met with the media on Thursday to update everyone on the latest Cowboys news. (All Garrett answers are paraphrased and not actual quotes.)Communication is a buzz word of every minute of every dayCommunication has been discussed a lot by the Cowboys lately, and Jason Garrett definitely knows the importance of it. He noted that it exists all throughout football games and that they need to get everybody on the same page.Jason Garrett did mention that communication gets challenged when you go on the road, but he talked about how they use crowd noise to simulate some of that because they recognize its importance. He said some of the bad plays in road games recently came from communication issues and not having all the guys working together.There hasn�t necessarily been a �Jaylon is back� momentJaylon Smith has been one of the stories of the season so far for the Cowboys, but Jason Garrett noted that there hasn�t exactly been a singular moment where everyone knew he was back (Eli Manning disagrees). Garrett said it was a great moment just to see him playing in a game last season, although obviously Jaylon wasn�t playing at this level a year ago.Garrett did acknowledge that things got better for Jaylon when he took the brace off over the offseason http://www.dallascowboysteamonline.com/geoff-swaim-jersey , and that�s something that makes a lot of sense. He noted that his work around the goal line in the Texans game was special.Did Dr. Cooper play a big role in taking Jaylon Smith?ESPN�s Todd Archer asked one of the more interesting questions of the Jaylon Smith time period in Dallas, whether or not the Cowboys would have taken Jaylon Smith had Dr. Cooper not been the one that performed his surgery.

Jason Garrett acknowledged that �many� of Dak�s 11 runs against Jacksonville were scrambles as opposed to designed runs. He said maybe 4-5 were zone reads which is pretty normal.The Cowboys like �eight guys up� along the defensive lineWe�ve seen Dallas utilize a lot of players along the defensive front and Jason Garrett reaffirmed that this is what they want to do. Rod Marinelli certainly likes having platoons of people ready to go, and that�s exactly what the Hot Boyz are. Garrett noted it keeps them fresh to rotate them but they do give some players more snaps, but in the Jacksonville game they didn�t have a lot of overall snaps on defense since they forced three-and-outs and they controlled the clock. Dak Prescott is a good runnerWhen it comes to Dak Prescott running the ball he obviously has to be careful with it (like anyone). Asked whether or not they teach Dak techniques to slide or get out of bounds to any degree Jason Garrett did acknowledge that during his rookie year there were times he�d run to his left and stiff-arm players with his right arm and that they cautioned him against that.

Sounds simple enough.Jeff Heath is a very productive playerGOAT.In all seriousness, Jason Garrett did discuss how Jeff Heath has seemingly always found a way to be around the ball. We�ve definitely seen Heath make plays over his career with that unique ability, he�s a special player in that regard.
