In turn, Smith recently appeared on ESPN’s First Take to respond to Jones suggesting that Dallas’ defence is trending in the right direction, admitting that he couldn’t believe what he just heard.Smith said: “I just can’t believe what I just heard. Dallas’ defence is horrible. They’re dead last in third-down defence. They’re dead last in rushing defence.“I mean, a multitude of categories, they are either worst or one of the top two or three worst defences in all of football in like seven or eight different categories.“And this man says they’re trending in the right direction? How? How?”The Cowboys are now set to return to the field this Sunday against the 2-6 Indianapolis Colts.Read more:Russell Wilson takes first step towards NC State coaching job after CBS moveMike Tomlin’s coaching future takes fresh ‘not coming back’ twist after revealing love for NBC roleWild Derrick Henry stat shows how desperate Baltimore Ravens’ QB situation is
