Dez Bryant: “I missed Romo”

[Nirvana]

ARLINGTON — Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant had a frustrating game in the 28-17 loss to the Cardinals.

Bryant had just two catches for 15 yards and a touchdown Sunday.

Bryant had to deal with the Pro Bowl cornerback Patrick Peterson all game, as well as poor play from backup quarterback Brandon Weeden, who started in place of the injured Tony Romo.

“You’ve got to give (Weeden) the benefit of the doubt,” Bryant said. “I’ve been working a guy for all my career, talking about Nine (Romo). Coming in, really not trying to make any excuses, we still should have gotten a lot done, but we didn’t. It is what it is. It’s very frustrating.”

Bryant was actually in danger of going catchless until the final two minutes of the game when he followed a 12-yard reception with a meaningless 3-yard touchdown reception at the 1:13 mark. He was targeted a team-high 10 times, but he and Weeden failed to connect for the better part of three quarters.

“You’ve got to understand, you know, when you don’t have everybody it can make a difference. It showed today,” Bryant said. “Truthfully, of course, I missed (Romo). But I believe in Weeden too. I believe in him. Things didn’t go our way. We’ve got to go back to the drawing board and fix what we need to fix.”

Bryant is the Cowboys’ leading receiver, with 50 catches for 635 yards and six touchdowns.

Dez is like man can you throw a catchable ball?

Do you think Brandon Weeden knows that he sucks?

I mean, he has to know, right? You can't suck that much and not know.

Well all missed Romo except for UFCrules

Pulled from another thread:

Arizona coach Bruce Arians: Patrick Peterson "erased" Dez Bryant for most of the day. "Up until the end, he was not a factor in the game."

That is total BS. I put the blame on Weeden. Dez wasn't the only one who missed Romo.

The realization is just below the "Surface" ... *laughs*

I didn't even read it (not in the mood) but Dez shouldn't say he missed Romo although it's obviously true. I'm sure Weeden feels bad enough.

No bull. Esp with Peterson slapping Dez in the facemask all day and Weeden throwing him into Safeties; I wanted Dez to blow up tbh...team needed a spark in the second half (bad).

Maybe you should've read it, because he didn't didn't throw Weeden under the bus.

That was part of the interview, he also states he believes in Weeden still.

i think you have to make a move. you have to possibly cut this guy for somebody else. that was beyond pathetic.

Dez Bryant: “I missed Romo”

Going from Romo to Weeden is like going from Sophia Vergara to Janet Reno.
