Jerry Jones expresses continued support for struggling cornerback DaRon Bland

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones remains optimistic about cornerback DaRon Bland's performance despite his struggles this season. Bland, rated as the 88th cornerback out of 97 as of Week 8, signed a $90 million contract last year but has not lived up to expectations. Jones highlighted his belief in Bland's potential to improve, citing previous success and the need for better communication and integration into the defensive scheme. The Cowboys have also traded for Joey Porter Jr. from the Steelers to strengthen their cornerback depth. Bland's recent performance has led to questions about whether he can bounce back effectively.
