Dez complaining about the sun

[GhostOfPelluer]

He's right.

It's one of the dumbest design elements I have ever seen from a stadium.

It’s a cool element, it’s just a shame they didn’t consider a small factor like, oh, the sun, when designing it though.

 

[Verdict]

We won. In our stadium. And DAK played great. He is so great.

Yes Dak is great.

 

[GhostOfPelluer]

I wish i could agree with you on that but I can't. I am glad to see Dez catching the ball (actually catching it) with some running room on those slants. It looks great when it happens.

Let's see if he continues to run slants and if so if it results in pick. I think it will. Otherwise Dez would be running them all the time.

As long as you give him a fair shake when a pick dies occur. It’s not like Dak is Aikman-esque with ball placement at times.

 

[MileyDancer]

Curtains would help.

No. I mean, it would, but thats just stupid. (Imo)

 

[pitt33]

Ah yes, time for the hourly “hate on Dez Bryant” thread.

I got a chuckle out of that.

Of course.

You haven't been watching that closely.

"NFL rules say, “tinted eye shields may be worn only after the League office is supplied with appropriate medical documentation and approval is subsequently granted. The League office has final approval.”

https://www.livestrong.com/article/405112-rules-for-a-football-helmet-visor/

"In 1998, the NFL changed their equipment regulations to included tinted visors on their banned player equipment list, primarily to promote uniformity among team uniforms and equipment. The NFL also enforces a no-play policy for equipment that does not meet the guidelines. Although collegiate players are immediately eligible to return to play after the equipment is fixed, NFL players must sit out an additional down upon fixing the equipment. NFL players may also be fined for failure to adhere to equipment regulations. Medical clearance may be obtained and a waiver applied for athletes that have a proven medical need for a specific visor type. All of these rules are explicitly stated in the NFL rulebook."

To be fair, he wasn't really whining about it. He was asked a question if the sun affected him on one play and he answered yes. Far from complaining.

Him saying Yes was a de facto complaint. You didn't know?

You know every day I drive down my driveway and the sun is directly in my eyes and I can't see the driveway so I pull my sunshade down and have to look down at the ground. That is how you deal with the sun in your eyes. Now you have a high fast ball coming at you and as you look back it is in the sun and you have to somehow see it. Just unreal.

The sun didn't seem to bother TWill as he was having a career high game...

 

[Sydla]

You don't think the land size dictated that?

What?

They considered it and still chose the layout...... JJones always like the way sun came thru in Cowboys Stadium

good lord the cancer that spread in this thread by uneducated meatheads.

Dez said it was a big deal.

No. Or at least if it did he didn't whine about it. According to a newspaper article, Dez says it is a big deal.

I wasn't there when he said it but the newspaper article quotes him saying is is a big deal. It even goes on to say Dez "wants something done about it".

They knew all about it when they planned the design but they didn't care. It was all for business purposes - they wanted it to face the Rangers stadium so that they could build businesses between the two stadiums. The were going to add buildings and high rises in that direction but oops...the Rangers are about to move to a new stadium on the other side now

It's time to bring in the curtains!

i think the Godray effect was another reason they wanted it so badly to be East-West facing...but yeah Jerry just needs the blinds to go down. I'm surprised the NFL hasn't already told him to do so for safety reasons.

 

[Bullflop]

Dez wasn't the only one complaining about that as I was from my recliner!

Jerry is a buffoon about this thing. He can black it out for wrestle mania but not for his team! Smh

I've often made the same comments. You'd think Jerry could afford curtains or tinting. Anything but that blinding glare!

I heard the interview on the radio. It was noting like what you are perceiving it to be from reading the article.
