How do you get dehydrated in one quarter of football during an indoor game? Local media reporting this.
Drops a probable touchdown pass, gets dehydrated, breaks his foot....not a great night for Dez.
You could say it was his lack of activity due to basically no pre-season and not much TC, but I distinctly remember an interview with Garrett on Dez's demeanor a couple of years ago and he said they had to have some conversations with him both before, after and during games because he would tire himself out on the sidelines with his constant activity. Just watch the vid of him after the game last night celebrating in the hallway in his underwear on a broken foot.
Love the enthusiasm, but you have to dislike the disregard for his own health, wandering barefoot before anybody has any definitive idea what is wrong with his foot. You see a handler trying to walk him back to the room and he limps much more noticeably back than when he was wandering out there, clapping and screaming.
Garrett mentioned something about the challenge of channeling Dez's energy and it still looks like his unbridled enthusiasm can still get the best of him and it could possibly be harmful.
It's a dual edged sword and something the team knows and obviously are happy to deal with, hence the large commitment, but we will probably continue to see this off and on will until age starts hitting him more and he continues to mature emotionally.
I love the young dude and this team needs him, but he needs to get a bit of a grip on himself and use his powers for more good and less self-inflicted harm.
