DEZ BRYANT CUT FINGERS HOW TO
It undermines leadership, it teaches the kids how to conduct themselves, and when things go poorly, they are the first to turn knives on the team. And while a large portion of the team may have the “good” kind of character, there is a faction that certainly seems to lack it. It has shown that when adversity hits, this team reveals its character. I certainly don’t want to be the old man here, especially if the “young man” needing the lecture is Jerry Jones, but what kind of team has been built? What kind of selfish, narcissistic, ego maniacs have you assembled here? This season has revealed so much. Allow me to take you back to the final game of the 2008 season and what I wrote the next morning after a 44-6 embarrassment in Philadelphia : The Cowboys are not a great place for divas. And it has very little to do with Dez Bryant and cleats and NCAA suspensions. That may be a poor assumption, but let's see if he can get to camp on time.ĭ) - But, here is my real issue. I assume that unlike Michael Crabtree of Deion and Eugene Parker fame, Dez is cool with the money that #24 is to get - not some delusional idea that since he is a "Top 10 talent" he should get a "Top 10 deal". #24 is far south of where the Cowboys took Bobby Carpenter and Marcus Spears. But at #24, you can make the case that there is really too much upside to pass. At that point, the money is very high and the risk is great. Remember the theory that with Owens, Roy Williams, and Jason Witten in 2008 that you cannot double team everyone? Well, with Miles Austin, Bryant, Witten, and anyone, that should really be true.Ĭ) - This is not pick #6 or Pick #11. There is no way to make a case that this doesn't make the Cowboys way more difficult to defend. Whether he is coachable remains to be seen - is he already convinced he is the greatest talent since sliced bread? Or is he ready to be taught? But, there is no denying his electricity. Sometimes it works (Felix Jones), and sometimes it is Terrell Owens or Roy Williams or Quincy Carter or Alonzo Spellman or Antonio Bryant or Mario Edwards.ī) - Beyond that, Dez is an amazing talent. Talk himself into the idea of the talent being too good to pass up. Maybe one who has some warts that other teams won't touch. Maybe one who has ties to former Cowboys. Every situation is different.īut, when people want to know what I think about the Dez Bryant pick last night, here is my take.Ī) - It is so Jerry. Some guys are not problems like they are advertised as, and others are said to be good dudes who turn out to be very poor in Dallas. If there is one thing I have learned in 12 years in Dallas it is to be careful not to judge a book by its cover. I remember hearing that Nick Van Exel was a bad guy before he was brought here and then when he was here he was nothing but a great mate and a competitor who would not lose without a fight. First, a disclaimer: I have never met Dez Bryant, and I don't know that he is a high maintenance player.
