News: DMN: Analysts call out Cowboys' Dez Bryant for lack of effort, praise him for postgame response

Blow this thing up. Start with firing Garrett and the entire coaching staff. Trade Dez for draft picks. He's a cancer. Cut Beasley and his Twitter bs. Have the new coach build around this young offensive line. Start with drafting a Qb and a RB

I completely agree with just about everything you said but keep Dez and get rid of Hardy and you're spot on.

I say get rid of Dez because the media has already won against him. He will never get the benefit of the doubt. No matter the circumstance he will always be in the wrong. They will swallow him up. Much like they did with TO and others. He will just never get a break from the media so it's always gonna be some drama even when it's a nonstory

Screw John lynch. He kept calling out Dez all game and talking about how Cassel had to appease him.

Dude had no idea what Dez was saying but consistently painted Dez as a "me" guy.

 

[Kaiser]

I agree both penalties should have been no calls, Also if last week it was a offensive pass interference on TWill for pushing off then the push off against Dez should be called. Both looked about the same as far as contact goes. The inconsistency is maddening and in this 7 game losing streak it seems we aren't getting the benefit of the doubt at all. So no benefit of the doubt and our horrible play does not bode well for winning.

Agree, I haven't gone back to check it on the tape but it seems like the officiating on PI and Defensive Holding was really inconsistent.

Dez lost sight of the ball and then he got pushed just enough at the end to lose the ability to recover and make a play...

 

[BourbonBalz]

This team is a national laughing stock. I'm just glad I don't have to sweat through any more games this season. Now they don't matter. Just lose out.

 

[DeaconMoss]

I love me some Dez Bryant, but he was awful today. You want the ball more? You want to be paid like a top 3 WR? Okay, then catch the damn ball in key situations. His two drops really cost us badly today.

Best catchers of the ball: hands ability on the team

Beasley
Witten
Dunbar
Escobar

Thats not falling on sword.

List the excuse first then claim fault = not falling on sword. Sorry Dez.

Another TO that wont win in this league.


Man, I loved this guy.

 

[Wrangler87]

I'm sure I'm not the only one, but I'm not afraid to post it;

If Dez was not a Cowboy, I would not cheer for him. In fact, he would probably be one of the players I like least in the league. The ONLY reason I cheer for him if because he plays for the Cowboys.

Whatever you might think of John Lynch as a game analyst - and he had a major hiccup in the final minute of the Cowboys 10-6 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers - know this: He was a pretty fair safety in his 15 seasons in the NFL.

When the two-time All-Pro who was selected for nine Pro Bowls calls out a wide receiver for not making a critical play, Lynch knows of what he speaks.

Lynch wasn't shy when he went after Dez Bryant for a lack of effort on Matt Cassel's final pass of the game, which was intercepted in the end zone by Bucs safety Bradley McDougald.

"Dez Bryant has to make a better effort on that football," Lynch said. "He allowed McDougald to go and steal that ball from him."

Funny how Lynch said that then when the replay was shown begrudgingly acknowledged that there was some interference. Dez didn't go hard after the ball because he had a defender holding his shoulder and then pushing him out of the play. It's difficult even for the best players to go against the momentum of your body when you're being shoved.

no joke! Brown and Julio dont make those 3 drops/no catches.

NFL officiating gets worse every year, the league office gets more political and disingenuous, and the media is much harder to tolerate. College football may be the only football worth watching anymore..

College ball has quickly become a much better product than pro.

Including the atmosphere. MUCH better.

Talk about overreaction. Yes, Dez should have made some plays he didn't. He had a bad day after talking a big game. It happens, he is still incredible valuable and will bounce back.
