Twitter: Claiborne speaks to the media

Clarence Hill ‏@clarencehilljr 8m
Mo Claiborne was at his locker waiting for the media when we came in
Claiborne said he wasn't mad about being demoted. He was mad how it was presented to him
Claiborne said he was so angry he had to leave. Didn't want it to get worse. Didn't know what what would have happened
Claiborne said he was wrong for leaving and abandoning his teammates. He apologized to his teammates. He still had to do what he had to do

Calvin Watkins ‏@calvinwatkins 8m
Morris Claiborne said he didn't like how something was presented to him as the reason why he left the facility.
Claiborne said he apologized to his teammates for his actions.

Tim MacMahon ‏@espn_macmahon 8m
Mo Claiborne said he left facility because he "didn't like how something was brought to me." Felt he had to remove himself from situation.

mike fisher ‏@fishsports 2m
Claiborne knew benching coming. Hurt by how presented. 'Situation is resolved. When my # called, I'll give 100% no matter what' #Cowboys

Oh God, spare me. Save some of that for those receivers that be blowing by you on game day. What about "Do what you gotta do" then

 

[DBOY3141]

still not a reason to do what he did. and he should apologize to the entire Cowboy organization, not just his teammates.

 

[ElGatoGrande]

Sometimes sugar-coated diplomacy isn't what's needed, I think he's already been getting too much of that...

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

They tried giving him a written out memo that Scandrick was going to get the start but he looked perplexed.
Next they told him scandrick was going to start over him, still looked perplexed.
Next they moved on to pictures...

Orlando in the next game

YOU in the next game

A few seconds later the look of realization hit Mo and he left the facility.

Will be amazing to see all the posts and variety of spins on this and his comments from everyone.....
I'm for one....move on from it, let's just play ball and win....

 

[Doomsday101]

Yeah sorry bla bla bla, now go out and redeem yourself. I'm sure Moore see the open door in front of him, Mo better see it as well because I don't think he will be given anything at this point.

Yep he will need to earn it more now, than before. Will be scruntinized even more. As I said, just play ball, and go from there, that's all can be done at this point.

WWJD?

What would Jimmy do?

Let's just trade the dude. I'm tired of seeing this dude being casted as the woe of the cowboys organization.

Ouch. That smarts!

Well at least they didn't get to the stick-figure drawings.

He's worthless at this point.

The chances are at some point this season they'll need his services and the hope would be is that he shows some resemblance of being a talented corner... and if that happened maybe they could squeeze a 4th or 5th rounder out of someone.

 

[BoysFan4ever]

He's not been very good on the field & he seems weak mentally.

Those LSU guys..boo.

What player then will be the next one everyone hates on?

If you meant that literally then that's dumb!

 

[Proximo]

Well, let's see how he responds. Ball is in his court now. It's apparent that if he won't play well when he's on the field, his playing time will decrease and we'll get someone out there who can perform better.

Hope he steps his game up.

Other than that, I'm not really interested in the drama/media aspect of it.

I do however, like that the coaching staff has recently shown that they're not afraid to bench guys that would be perceived as starters. We saw it with Carter for Sims, and Free for Parnell, and now Claiborne.

 

[Craig]

Mad at him for leaving. Mad at him for appologizing for leaving. Mad at him for saying he will do everything he can. Mad at him for helping the team. Mad at him if he leaves the team. I think the problem might be people's ability to move on.

 

[The Quest for Six]

BIG BABY!
