"Dez Bryant missed an MRI and a treatment on Monday. He missed a team meeting on Tuesday, and he was not at a meeting Wednesday" - Garrett
"He suspected that it was a serious injury. He really thought he was gonna get bad news, so he avoided it" - Garrett on Dez.

Garrett says Dez was fearful the MRI was going to have some bad news, so he avoided it. Was worried the news would be worse than what it was

Garrett: Dez Bryant got info Sunday night that it might be serious injury, so avoided MRI initially. Dez thought results were gonna be worse
Jason Garrett on Dez Bryant: "He's a very, very passionate person. He's an emotional person. He didn't handle it the right way."

Garrett said Dez Bryant didn't handle it the right way. It has been addressed. And the Cowboys are moving on
Garrett said the Cowboys do not anticipate Bryant practicing today. He does feel better and they will how he feels tomorrow

JG allowing Dez to continue to make mistakes. Zero accountability

He was fined...

What more do you want? A public lashing?

 

[cowboyblue22]

this was huge mistake by the head coach the press will now be his big adversary

I'm not sure Garrett defended him there.
He said he didn't handle it right.
They fined him as well.

he explained Dez' thought process, that's all. He in no way defended it from what I can tell.

To me that is all there is to it, everything else is a excuse.

And then to report it to SF media first, seems armature.

Is it the end of the world, no but it was a opportunity to set a different tone.

 

[Doomsday101]

I don't think any HC is obligated to give media much in terms of details involving players. Cowboys have fined Dez evidently and this is an internal matter.

Oooooo, kinky.

That's how it was taken...I'll change it to "explains," but yeah....

No way. Read it right here that he is a master of media manipulation and plays them all like fiddles.

After Garrett broke the Dez news to the San Fran media, here's a look at the DFW media walking into the press conference (@1053TheFan)

Even according to Dez in his tweet they were waiting on the results of the MRI late Wednesday which also happened to be when Garrett was on conference call with SF media. I really don't care if JJT and the rest of the Dallas media got the news 2nd or 1st.

Don't give some of these folks any ideas!

How do you spell enabling? Oh yes, that way.

My guess is it's a bigger deal to people here than it is to anyone on the team. Easier to be a hard *** when you're a fan.

I seriously wonder how folks parent their kids. Because it's the same concept. You can lay the foundation. Set expectations. And they will still ***** it up. So what do you do? Do you go 0-10 or do you discipline by levels.

Yes lashing and internal incarceration. He should be chained to the wall in the locker room at the Star and fed nothing but gruel for the rest of the week.
Or they can fine him whatever. lol
