- Sep 3 Calvin Watkins (X) Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer on Joe Milton: “I think when you're waived or have been fired many times, you're in shock a little bit. And then I think you kind of step back and you're like, okay, didn't expect this, didn't see this coming. But the more you think about it, you start figuring out the positives and negatives of the situation. And for him to be able to stay here with the relationships that he's built, understanding our system, understanding the locker room and other coaches, we were thrilled to get him back and he's going to continue to get better and that's part of it.”
