Schlereth summed up my feelings on the topic pretty well, I viewed it as a opportunity to set a different tone:
Schlereth went off on Bryant during"SportsCenter" Thursday,criticizing both his handling of the injury and the Cowboys' team culture.
"At what point are you going to quit making excuses for bad behavior?" Schlereth said."At what point, as an organization, are you going to quit enabling people to behave this way? That's not— I mean, it's not you're passionate, and that's what we heard Jason Garrett say. 'Oh, it's passion. He's so passionate.' No. That's selfishness.
"You have 52 other guys on that roster who count on you. You're one of the leaders of that football team. You got a bunch of young guys that are trying to learn how to be professionals. And as I always say, just because you play a pro sport, it doesn't make you a professional. That's as unprofessional as you can possibly be in Year 7 in your career."
"You don't have his phone number? You can't go to his house and drag his lazy butt out of bed?" Schlereth continued. "I mean, at some point as an organization, I look at my organization and say, 'You know what? The people who run this organization, they don't practice what they preach.' They talk about integrity. They talk about character. They talk about all these things they say that matter. But bottom line is, when somebody questions their authority, they cower in the corner like a child. That's what this organization does."
Not exactly what Jones wants to hear, but Schlereth does have a point. Under Jones since the start of the 2010 season, the Cowboys own a record of 48-51. Add that to Jones' history of
enabling players with questionable character, and it's hard to argue Schlereth is off the mark with his analysis.
