Dez getting in fights misguided leadership? Another Dez thread **merged**

[PA Cowboy Fan]

Have no issues with it at all. You hit a Cowboy player, I'd expect any teammate to come to that player's defense. I'm proud of Dez.

 

[MrPeanutbutter]

I wish we had 53 players with his passion...nothing to see here, move it along.

Not to be overly argumentative, but truly passionate players don't start frivolous fights.

When the regular season starts, this nonsense needs to stop. Any passion aimed at anything other than winning football games is misplaced.
That includes hatred for other players on other teams or other teams in general.

The troll is strong with this OP.

Is getting old at this point. We all love his fired up attitude, but he needs to be more of a leader on this team. How about showing restraint instead of getting in a punching match every week? What are you teaching the younger guys come game day? His lack of control of his emotions may cost us on game day. He is sending the wrong message in my opinion.

You have got to be kidding me. You and NFLN trrying to blame this on Dez??!? This society is going to Hades in a hand basket. Camp fights have been going on since leather helmets. And now we want to blame fights on trash talking? Word please.

 

[AmericasTeam81]

Some people just have too much time on their hands and/or they just like to ***** and complain I guess.

 

[Sportsbabe]

Exactly, this stuff has been going on more or less forever in training camps. It's just that ever year that goes by, we as fans and media have more and more access to it and see these things that would have otherwise stayed in-house.

Yeah....and now they want t BE about it. Get the check out of here. This discussion is ticking me off. I'm out.

he def is chirping a lot and should tone it down. Looking at some Cowboys/Rams practice film, it looked like to me he was instigating and wasn't even playing. Rather he him just make catches, score touchdowns and give the ball to the ref when done like a pro of his craft. I love his passion but he needs to learn the fine line between playful trash talking and disrespect.

Do you see Dez getting into fights on game day? /thread closed.

And with that, I'll move on to the next thread to observe. Thanks!

Ack, you took the thought out of my brain, except I was going to say something about the Eagles possibly winning a championship one day.

How the hell did he start a fight? The Rams CB started the jawing and the fight happened a hour later when another Ram cheap shot a Cowboy.

Smh @ busy bodies.

Thank you. I still for the life of me can't figure out exactly when Dez has ever thrown the first punch (or any punch for that matter) in a televised altercation.

I think someone earlier in this thread mentioned DeAngelo Hall as an example during a game where Dez almost went off on Hall, but he was able to restrain himself, and did not throw a punch.

Any other examples?

Yes, Dez gets worked up, possibly more so than anyone else in the league. And he sure as hell will talk trash and try to get inside the other guy's head, maybe say some things that are uncalled for (though I wouldn't know). But he seems to be pretty damn good at holding himself back in these heated moments by not striking the other guy.

 

[AsthmaField]

Any other examples?

Well, I Dez did worse than fight last year... he just about killed the Eagles in Philly.

 

[Nightman]

There can't be any middle ground with you guys.

It is OK to tell Dez to lighten up a little on the chirping and the fighting.

Football fights are meaningless until someone gets hurt or suspended. No one ever wins.

You get to hit the other guy legally during the game to teach him a lesson.

No one is saying to be a punk or coward but just realize the negatives outweigh the positives. AND every coach is trying to ban it from camp because of the negatives.

Nothing like sticking a random "I" in a sentence to really mess up a joke.

 

[AmericasTeam81]

I wonder his (Dez's) teammates think about him. Also, what his coaches think about him...
