"But after the ******** story, Cowboys sources say Hardy’s mood soured. He slept through meetings and practiced in a fog, and as he went, so went his impressionable young teammates," wrote MMQB's Robert Klemko, the author of the story. He also had a visible argument with Dlaw on the sideline during a game. He didn't have a positive impact on Dlaw from any source that I've seen. After leaving the Cowboys he was arrested for cocaine
He had a total of 6 sacks and an interception for us that season. Decent. But, I just don't see it. Could he have been a beast? A difference maker? YES...no doubt. But he is just another gifted athlete who didn't do everything he could to maximize his own talents on the field.
