DEZ BLOWUP (1 Viewer)

[cobalt_27]

Ah, more middle-aged, stuffy white people chiming in about a heat of the moment outburst. How many of the posts in here so far have really been Roger Goodell aliases?

What does race have to do with this? Dez flipped out. The fact that he's black is irrelevant.

Congrats on conveniently ignoring the age aspect.

Oh stop. If you're going to call the race card, own it. Don't #### out and back away from it.

What are you talking about? You're the one who selectively responded. The SP is notorious for responding like a bunch of old white guys. You know, like Wilford Brimley. You can honestly tell me that your reaction would be the same for any WR in the NFL? If you say yes, you are either delusional or deliberately lying.

You are absolutely right. I haven't responded to behavior like this from any other receiver recently, because no other WR has behaved so erratically (or is it passionately?) as Dez did all freaking game. Play the race card, then own it. Call people out for being racist and stand by it. Don't put it out there and then act like you didn't mean it that way.

 

[sspunisher]

Some typical knee-jerk responses here about the Dez blowup. The media is going to play that whole Dez sideline thing just the way you'd expect them to, but he was 150% right to be pissed the #### off. They played scared with the lead and deserved to lose. Dallas play-calling was straight up cowardly. I'm not comparing Romo to Brees or Rodgers, but the fact that those two QBs have RUTHLESS O-Coordinators like Payton and McCarthy calling plays is why we see so much greatness from them.

Regardless of the perception/reality of Romo's late game abilities, the fact that the playcallers are coaching scared is infuriating. Go for the damn kill with your best players. Taking the ball out of Romo's hands, regardless of choke factor, is taking the ball out of your best playmakers hands: Dez and Witten. Williams was on fire today and even Beasley's been clutch on 3rd downs the past few games. Dez is going to be the bad guy all week and wow...how far from the truth that is. Dallas has a huge problem but it's definitely not Dez.

Nothing reeks of cowardice than the guy who does the hit-and-run with the racism card. At least be genuine and acknowledge you were calling everyone a racist who reacted negatively to Dez's tantrums. It's so obvious, and you look like even more of an oaf trying to backpedal now.

No matter how ticked off you are, there's no excuse for not being willing to talk to your QB/TE about an upcoming play when you're paid to go be a part of that play.

The Cowboys had to call a different play at the end because Dez Bryant was too upset to talk to them about the play they wanted to run (to him). Consider how absurd that is when Bryant is making the money he's making. It would be absurd even in an intramural game.

 

[drummer]

Would had been great if it was a special teams guy or scrub have a "passion tirade" on the sideline instead of Bryant. Wonder how that would be spun.

They probably would wind up getting cut

Well I'll agree that it was a distraction, and definitely wrong place/wrong time, especially if he missed the next play, I didn't hear all that.

Highly doubt it, but I'm hoping the outburst is more of a wakeup call to the team. But let's be real, it won't be. Destined for mediocrity because even the coaches believe that limiting Romo is the key to success. Limit Romo, limit Dez. Good game.

 

[Hoss Style]

Lot of exaggeration both ways here.

Dez thinks he's as good as Calvin (and he might be pretty damn close) so he wants the ball as much as Calvin - and he might be right.

Dez seems passionate but tends to express it poorly. Call it what you want - but when you go nuts at your QB when he's going over a play with the coaches and then Witten (team captian, I think?) and your top defensive player come over and tell you to calm down (in a very forceful manner) then you need to reevaluate your self control.

It doesn't happen every game on every sideline. I get what you're saying, but that's a huge exaggeration. I go to a lot of games and watch even more. I'm not the only one here like that. I never see any player go up and yell at Manning on the side lines, then later start yelling at other teammates like a lunatic. We all know that if ANY player went up and started going off on Brady, Manning, Rodgers, or pretty much any QB in the league it'd make the news. It's happened a few times and it's always been a big deal.

Dez has a history of issues. Do we really expect a guy acting like this on the sideline to not catch flak? Witten is one of the toughest SOBs in the league, has played through immense pain and Romo is looking past him all the time when he's wide open. Do we not think he's as passionate as Dez is? Romo's missing Witten wide open all the time and not throwing the ball to Dez nearly enough. Witten handles it properly - Dez doesn't. Hopefully he'll learn. Or Ware will smash him into a stain on the sideline. One or the other.

 

[Widbil83]

I liked what MIchael Strahan said, once his talent slips just a little bit they will get rid of him (see Terrell Owens). Of course Bryant isn't past his prime like Owens was, so I don't know about that. I do agree with what he said that Bryant was disrespecting his teammates and coaches and they will eventually get tired of it. The guy is a walking time bomb.

At least TO had some decent schtick while being a #####. Dez is just a complete #######!

 

[sspunisher]

I don't like the Dez and Owens comparisons. Yes, both are fiery. Yes, both are super competitive whether it's in practice, on a passing play, or downfield blocking for their RB.

Dez is not selfish though. The FIRST thing I wanted to see after that whole sideline thing was if Dez would celebrate with Williams on the long TD, because he always did in previous games. They def did a celebration together. Dez's outburst was about wanting to win. It wasn't about him getting the ball, I think it was more about PASSING the ball, because that is where they were having success. I think it was Witten or Romo who said he was pointing out weaknesses that the Cowboys weren't taking advantage of, and Witten supposedly was pointing at the clock to say we still have 15 seconds to do that.

I remember someone asking Owens if he'd rather have a horrible game statistically and win or have a huge statistical game and lose. He responded that he wanted to have a huge game because it'd mean his team would win. That's not Dez.

How is it not selfish to not be willing to take part in the discussion about the last play of the game because you're too busy throwing a temper tantrum.

Again, the Cowboys had to change the play they ran at the end because they couldn't get Dez to settle down and talk about the play they wanted to run to him. It's the ultimate in selfishness. Your quarterback and captain want to discuss with you how they can try and run something to pull out a miracle at the end with and you're too busy throwing a hissy fit to take part.

Wine and cry and yell at people after the game. As Witten was trying to explain to Dez, it wasn't over yet and they still needed his help. He basically told them to F off and do it without him.

If that's the case, then he's even more if an ### than I thought.

 

[SeniorVBDStudent]

It doesnt matter if it was about "me" or "team", it was out of place and out of line. Too much passion can be more destructive than not enough. Balance in all things.

 

[duaneok66]

Some people will continue to behave like children if there are no consequences.

 

[Banger]

Man, the guy lost it because his coaches are idiots and he lost a game he wanted to win. I know I would be beyond frustrated if the same thing kept happening over and and over with no change in sight. It doesn't make it right and don't condone it but I can understand it. It happens.

Hell, I'd rather have that guy than the guy who's just cashing a check. He cares and wants to win....he certainly didn't express it well or PC but it's not that big a deal.

I don't own dez and hate Dallas so I have no dog in this fight.

 

[Sabertooth]

Does Dez still have handlers off the field to make sure he stays out of trouble?

 

[fatness]

He's a horrible passionate whining cancer in a locker room.

The Cowboys players or coaches or front office are saying this?

Seriously? Did you even read the whole post, or are just just stupid? I referred to middle aged people, stuffy people, white people and roger goodell. How do you draw out of that "playing the race card?" I played a full hand there, not just one card. So at least be consistent and say I played the age card.

And yeah, I think the entire reaction to Bryant's supposed outburst is due to a combo of factors, one of which is middle aged people who never really played sports.....at this level.....and somehow forget what it was like to be less than perfectly mature. Another aspect is clearly overreaction just because it's Dez (btw - I'm not a Dallas fan even remotely). And if you think none of the reaction - I'm not saying you, because I don't know you - is racially tinted, then you need to get out more and see the reality around you. Our US media has always loved to create and nurture the angry black man image.

 

[flapgreen]

Terrell Owens did this a few years ago. Romo and Witten are not trying to win Super Bowls, they want to make as much money as they can from an owner who overpays everyone and they are planning for life after football. If they win a few games along the way then so be it. The quicker Dez gets in line the better.

SARCASM

Dez has a lot of passion and he is making some pretty insane catches, he wants to see the intensity from the other superstars. Maybe he knows what is missing from the end of these games, intensity.

Why does this not surprise me...

Gotta love this lack of accountability. Let's blame it on the people reacting, instead of calling him out for pouting on the sideline when his QB and veteran TE were trying to talk to him about a play that could possibly take back the game for them. Bryant acted like an immature #####. There is really no other way to look at it.

[Manster]

Whatever about this passion BS. I think he was initially screaming about not getting the ball (I know he was) - then stayed in that same angry mode all day long. Give your team a dressing down in the locker room at halftime if need be, or on the practice field. But you don't scream and show up your head coach, offensive coordinator, quarterback, Pro Bowl tight end, members of the defense etc all game long. This was worse than anything I ever saw T.O. do. Not kidding.

How do you know what he was screaming about?

Not trying to defend him going nuts on the sidelines here but his teammates all had his back right after the game. They could have said nothing or even aired him out a bit to the media but they went out of their way to defend him.

Thats how these things always go. Witten and Romo downplay it because they are thinking about the team. Dez is more about Dez than the team. We wouldnt be talking about it if he wasnt. Its obvious. Sure, he wants to win, but I got the feeling that this game was more about Dez v. Megatron for him.

this is ridiculous. Obviously you don't watch game to game to think that he's only about himself. Moss and T.O. put a bad taste in people's mouth over divas. It's easy for non-cowboy fans to say he is a diva because of what ESPN or NFL network chooses to show. But if you read in interviews and listen to beat writers Dez ( yes a hot head) is someone that lives and breathes his team, football and winning. I agree he probably needs to learn how to channel his frustrations better but someone like him that is an elite player that tries and gives 100% on every snap probably can't fathom why others can't do the things he's doing. He's 24 years old and this will come in time.Anybody that posts in this thread saying he's a diva or any other comment of that ilk proves that they do not know anything about Dez or the Cowboys and ONLY what the media chooses to show and hype to give their channel a story to talk about.

Actually, I watch every game. I am in no way influenced by the media. And I am offended that you think I know nothing about the Cowboys. I know what I like and it aint Dez's antics

Dez's troubles are well documented. Now he's saying the right things. He's got a bunch of mentors, blah, blah, blah.

I've never been a huge Dez fan. Obviously you are. He's a great talent, but a headcase (is that better than diva?) When he's totally freakin out on Romo (before the incident at the end, and worse imo) he doesnt get it.

I think he's a guy who will turn on his teammates (ala T.O.) when times are tough. Thats when true character comes out.

 

[seahawk 17]

I could see Bryant having a better career than Owens. He will never have the career of Calvin Johnson. Those of you who think he is as good is CJ, have to be wearing homer glasses.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Dez haters should really back off. The kid has a desire to win, all the teammates took up for him plus Jerry Jones after the game. Witten says he never played with anyone that wanted to win as much as Dez Bryant so all in all I think some passion spilled over and the team will actually benefit form this going forward.

Dallas is 4-4, 2 road losses to KC and Detroit by 1 point each, could easily be 6-2. They lost to Denver at home, take a number and the SD loss was tough. I think the Cowboys are starting to build a real team here and Dez is not a cancer, he is a high profile player who made an unreal catch towards the end to give Dallas the lead, and he is watching Calvin Johnson take a blowtorch to the defense and secondary, he let his emotions get the best of him. He'll learn, he'll grow from it, I see no problem with any of this but because it's Dallas...the media and Dallas haters want to make a bigger deal out of this.

And the cameras catch everything...last night Rodgers is having a moment with Jennings post game, most fans would never have seen it but NBC had a camera right there and it looked like Rodgers was just being gracious in the ### whooping they just levied on the Vikes, but no sooner than that and we got Michele Tafoya asking Rodgers seconds later about that conversation and he politely declined comment.

I like the fire and passion Dez is bringing to the NFL, sure he has had some inexcusable off the field issues but overall he is a helluva player.

 

[JamesTheScot]

What I don't understand is when someone like Rodgers or Peyton or Brady blatantly show up their teammates by screaming at them they don't get nearly as much criticism as a "diva wr" like Dez. Seems odd to me.

Yes, it's odd that when Rodgers and Peyton and Brady act the way Dez did, the get no criticism.

Wait, those guys have never acted like that.

Do we know exactly what Dez was #####in' about?

When the QB is #####in', it's usually because someone is missing assignments, lining up wrong, screwing up, etc. It's not out of line for a team leader to take on that role.

When a WR is #####in', especially a young one, it's often about not getting the ball.

Big difference there.

Maybe Dez knows enough about everyone else's job and has earned the credibility to call his teammates out and take on that role. But I'm a bit skeptical on that point. And Witten certainly didn't defend him along those lines. Witten playing the "passionate" card is an implicit admission of that.

But I agree with those that say it's not that big a deal in the grand scheme of things. We already knew Dez is a knucklehead. And Strahan is right that his talent will insulate him from the consequences of that for a while.

That's not passion. That's being a whiny little #####.

You gotta be kidding me. I guarantee you that you and nearly everyone on these boards has thrown a bigger fit over losing their fake football game on some random week because of something their player did not do, they happened to play the guy with the career day, somebody made a terrible trade and it's not fair, etc.

Brady does this. Rivers does this. Keep and newton look for the camera and do this. This is only a story because it is Dez Bryant because what you saw was a rightfully frustrated man at his job that knows he can be the difference in making his work better for his team.

At least he has a legit reason to be upset....better than you or me in week 2 when Eddie Royal caught 3 TDs and we just couldn't believe we lost to "that" guy.

And I guarantee you that you like putting peanut butter on your junk for some quality time with your dog.

FTR record I have never thrown a fit like this since I was 9-10 yrs old. Time to grow up and be a professional. Have some ####### poise for once.

He was clearing yelling at the defensive coordinator allowing Calvin Johnson one on one coverage on 84% of snaps! Insane. I hope Brandon Carr's family was not watching that.

That's because they thought Bush was the bigger threat.

Dez is no Megatron but he could be close if they used him like Megatron. I understand his frustration, but yelling at teammates on the sideline is not the way to do it. Either way, I don't see this "blow up" as a big deal. I'm pretty sure everyone in the Dallas organization agrees that they were terrible on defense and Dez needs to get the ball more if they want to win.

My opinion clearly means nothing to Dallas. I never claimed it did. I posted a question, not state a fact. Clearly Dez isn't seeing the ball as much as you and other Dez apologist would think appropriate. So, why is that?

I assume it's the same reason targets vary on other teams -- playcalling, progressions, and defensive coverages. If you think it's for a different reason, say so.

 

[donkshow]

His two TDs show just how skilled he is. He should be fed the ball like Calvin is.

I think he was more pissed at the DC for letting Johnson run wild.

it's likely because teams are doubling him and they are being "smart" by not going to him and going to the guy that's single covered.

that's the problem....do you think Calvin is always singled up when he gets the ball (what were his single/double coverage numbers yesterday)? If you look away from your stud and difference maker because he's doubled you allow the defense to dictate what it wants. You have to find a balance and still get the difference maker the ball into his hands.

Dez only had single coverage on 24% of his snaps. Romo isnt going to force it into double coverage when he has other weapons.

that's the problem....do you think Calvin is always singled up when he gets the ball (what were his single/double coverage numbers yesterday)? If you look away from your stud and difference maker because he's doubled you allow the defense to dictate what it wants. You have to find a balance and still get the difference maker the ball into his hands.

While you have to feed you're best playmakers, the situations aren't really the same. Dal has much better complimentary players than Det does. Still, I agree Dez should get more opps that are just kind of "go get it" plays ala, Calvin, AJ and a few others.

I think it's great that he cares and has passion, not every player has the burning in him. His talent and passion is what can set him apart from others easily, why many have to gameplan against him already. The problem I see with that passion, which was evident yesterday, as much as that emotion can help...it can hurt him and those around him when he can't reel it in any. Even after he went off, he continued and continued...at that point, he was a bit out of control and the emotion got the best of him. No he didn't fall down and kick, scream and throw a kiddy tantrum, but his inability to snap out of it has to be concerning.

Cowboys and anyone else will put up with it, until the production does equate. As pointed out by Strahan, similar to TO. THis goes for Dez and any other player though.

I'd love to know how Alex P. knows so much about FBG demographics and more specifically the demographics of posters in this thread.

Uh, there are a whole host of polls that have been done that make it pretty clear what the demographics of FBGs look like. I have no idea what the demographics of this thread are, but we could probably all agree that a reasonable hypothesis is that they aren't terribly different than overall FBGs demographics.

Tom Brady has done the same thing and none of the trailer-park Klansmen said a word about it.

Curious to see what Deb's targets are compared to the other top WRs in the league. If he was truly throwing a fit over what the defense did, I don't see how anyone couldn't see that's out of line. Again, no number of targets will ever be enough for Dez. He doesn't recognize all of the guys around him have talent as well. Some people in here are acting like he's playing with a bunch of scrubs.
