Jerry Jones has legendary quote about not putting Tony Romo on IR
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones confirmed on Monday that Tony Romo will not be placed on short-term IR, which would have made the quarterback ineligible to play until Week 9. The reason for that is the Cowboys are hoping Romo can return sooner, so they’re willing to hold a roster spot.
Plus, Jones doesn’t think there is anyone good enough to replace Romo on the 53-man roster. And to say Jones had a great way of expressing that would be an understatement.
Jerry Jones on keeping Romo on 53: There is no use "circumsizing the mosquito" on this. There is no one good enough to take the last spot

Nobody does metaphors quite like Jerry, especially when it comes to Romo’s injuries. Remember what the 73-year-old said last season when Romo broke his collarbone? Some say that is the “Arkansas” in Jones coming out. If that’s the case, we hope it never stops happening.
