'Literally a zoo,' Dalton Schultz blasts Jerry Jones’ Cowboys culture and claims he’s glad to be on Texans, where focus is ‘only on football’

In a first-of-its-kind revelation, Dalton Schultz called out the culture in the Cowboys organization and compared it to that of the Texans. Schultz claimed that the focus is purely on football inside the Texans camp, but he didn’t say the same about the Cowboys.

The focus is just football. Going back and telling some people about being around the Cowboys' practice facility and game day, describing some of the interactions and stuff that you see on a day-to-day basis, it surprises a lot of people. They're like 'Holy crap, that actually happens at a practice facility?' You think it's normal, and then you come to a place like this. Dalton Schultz said

Dalton Schultz’s confession makes it evident that there is a night-and-day difference between the Cowboys and the Texans’ organizational functioning. He gave an interesting example of how America’s team conducts tours for fans or VIPs while the players and coaches are trying to do their jobs.

That is shocking and ridiculous to hear. Imagine attempting to get a workout and then having fans walk past you and stare at you throughout.

Dalton Schultz was critical of the culture Jerry Jones has built within the Cowboys

During his recent appearance on ESPN’s The Pat McAfee Show, Schultz sounded off on the Cowboys. He revealed that people would just stare at the players through a one way mirror during their workout.

They've got a one-way mirror for people to look in. It's literally a zoo. There's people tapping on the glass, trying to get people's attention while they're doing power cleans or whatever...that's what Jerry Jones likes, that's the way they run things. Dalton Schultz said

It does not come as that big of a surprise that Jerry Jones wants fans and visitors to ogle at the establishment and facilities he has established. While it is good for a team to have transparency and allow fans access to the training facilities, doing it to this extent might be pushing the envelope a bit too far.

After all, the team is training seriously to win NFL championships, by allowing fans in between and letting them distract the players, it harms the team most.

For Schultz, the move from Dallas to Houston was one of the best things that could have happened to him. He found himself in a better environment from a competitive standpoint.

The Texans’ culture of fostering a young roster with hungry players has reaped rewards for the organization as the team managed to prove themselves as the biggest underdogs in the league as they made a deep playoff push under C.J. Stroud.
