Just watched Babe on cbs11. He said He does not believe any players went to garrett about getting rid of Dez.
He also said there was no bigger Garrett fan than Dez and Jason has helped Dez in more things than football and has been good for him.
More importantly he mentioned that Garrett did meet with Dez and urged him to take the high road and not make the situation worse for him I guess.
I am uploading the video to my youtube page as we speak. I will add it to the thread when its done.
I don’t buy them going to Garrett either. But they were apparently in agreement on something,otherwise he wouldn’t have mentioned the “C’s” comment..and I think I know what that something is. Those core group players (and he was one of them) are like your special forces unit. When one of them checks out,when they are being counted on in the most dire situations...(and he checked out) it let the team down. They didn’t trust him after that,because he stepped out of their circle. That’s how Lee rolls too...and Witten. They really have high standards,and a certain code of themselves and other leaders in that small group,and are very unhappy if someone isn’t pulling his weight,and making waves. Never mind Dez is right about the offense,(and he is right) all that matters to those C guys,is don’t work against us and create bad drama. But not only did he do that,he fumbled in a must win situation then sulked on the sidelines,and wouldn’t do what they all do in reworking a contract. And to that last point,which is really a key one with them,it’s like their expected to do fraternity thing. They all do it,or you’re not earning your honors. So while I don’t believe they said,or went to Garrett to push some outing,I do believe the situation I described had influence on people in the building by normal observation in regards to their decisions. When I look at it all,I see a player who was pushing against the team on multiple points,and Dez left Dallas no other options. He wasn’t producing,he publicly called out a coach,and finally wouldn’t take a rework. That’s your 3 big strikes in Dallas that gets anyone canned.
