IRVING, Texas -- The debate continues to rage about whether Dallas Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant's intensity is out of control, but tight end Jason Witten has nothing but praise for his teammate's passion.
"There's not a guy that you love playing more with on Sundays than Dez Bryant," Witten said Wednesday. "I feel like I have a lot of passion and I think he matches that passion. I love that. It's been an honor to watch him develop into the player and the person that he's become, really an elite player at his position and what he does."
Bryant has acknowledged that Witten and Ware were right to try to calm him down at the time, saying he was "heated" and that the veterans did their job by firmly and forcefully pointing out that the game wasn't over.
Witten, an 11-year veteran whom the 24-year-old Bryant considers a role model, indicated that the only unusual thing about the incident was the amount of attention it has received. He admitted that there have been times when his frustration has boiled over on the sidelines and teammates have encouraged him to focus.
"You can't have too much passion in those situations," Witten said. "It wasn't about him. It was about our team. So you want more guys like that. I am not just saying that. It really is. You want more guys who care and that are upset. That's all of us. It wasn't about him. It's about us."
