Jane Slater interview about Dez

Yeah, because you guys cannot deal with his diminished results, or a guy heralded as the next 88, coming into his eighth year deciding to get serious about running crisp routes. Yeah, that isn't important.

If he worked as hard as Irvin did, then he would be the player he was drafted to be. He didn't, he ain't, he's gone.

Lol. But he gets mad on the sidelines. Mic'd up shows he trying to motivate the players. It belongs to a narrative that still goes on, I would go in depth but the mods are on me today.

That Seattle game, he was pouting and *****ing like a school girl. IN THE SECOND QUARTER.

Most of his sideline antics weren't positive. They were distracting. I go to the games, and I sit on that sideline. When he's in full rant, everybody just walks away from him.

But wait, I heard here that he is the worst possible human being to have on a football team.....only thing this guy did wrong was call out a dictator of a HC who wont accept that his offense sucks!

Somewhere, we stopped respecting authority. You think players confronted Landry or Jimmy? Or any coach in those days for that matter?

Dez is a petulant child.

Really good interview about Dez and how his teammates felt about him.

Alfred Morris saying he was a great locker room guy.




I got this vid from ****NOT-AN-OFFICIAL-SOURCE*** btw.

The media will build you up and tear you down! They are now tearing the Cowboys down and building up Dez. Last week it was the opposite. It's amazing how the media works.

I guess you missed Aikman doing it, or how about Brady and his O coordinator last season.

I think I want a little of that with my QB though. It feels different when it is a multi-time super bowl winning QB getting frustrated with overall execution and playcalling versus a WR wanting the ball.
 
Being likable and a good teammate is not the same thing as being accountable, working on your craft, running routes properly, and running around coaches to Jerry. Let’s not forget that Dez came into the league lacking “life skills.” Jerry gave him life monitors who helped him get to meetings and practices on time, things that didn’t happen in college. Later, he got another contract, and those guidelines and help were removed. Even last year he didn’t show up on time for conditioning tests, complained about injuries, but didn’t show up for treatment.

Being a good guy and teammate isn’t all there is.
 
Are we still debating former players? While you at it less talk about Quincy Carter that lead this team to a playoff game and had no core talent around him.

It's an emotional sport. I don't get why so many people are surprised when a player loses it for a brief moment. It's part of the game.

I'm not sure why fans need to make this about his personality anyway. He definitely had some maturity issues, but I don't at all think he was a cancer that was destroying team unity. I think this was mainly about performance vs. pay grade, and "may" (guess only) have a little to do with lack of discipline on the field (not running precise routes, taking plays off when he wasn't the primary target etc ).

Dez was a hard worker. If he's not running good routes I would blame it on the coaches teaching him how to run them.

Regardless.. I think the whole Dez route thing was another false narrative put about by Mr. Anonymous Jason Garrett. There is plenty of videos of Dez clearly running good routes and getting open. This is while the defense knowing basically what route he will run.

TO wasn't the best route runner either. Just get him the ball and let him work. That's what Dez should've been more of here.



We've gone through WR after WR here. They always get the blame at the end of the day. When will it be the coaches turn?

He was a 24th overall pick that set his franchises receiving TD record. Tell me again how he didn’t live up to being the 24th player drafted.
