Mick Shots

[Mr Cowboy]

Novel Idea? Since we’re on the subject of Dez Bryant, with the Cowboys beginning official offseason conditioning workouts on Monday and reports of the Dez-Jerry summit meeting finally coming down this Friday, see where this receiver-whisperer named David Robinson – not that David Robinson – is going to work with Dez on his “route-running” during some upcoming private lessons. Really? Look, since the Cowboys traded up in that 2010 draft to 24 to take a shot on the Oklahoma State receiver, guess what we’ve heard from receiver assistants Ray Sherman, Jimmy Robinson and Derek Dooley, yearly: Dez needs to work on running his routes. Man, during the offseason(s) I stood right there one day while Dooley gave me a lecture on how Dez needs to improve getting off jams on the line of scrimmage. How, if he gets engaged with a corner hand-fighting, and if he doesn’t get a clean release “in one-two,” the quarterback reads him covered and goes on to his next option. For the sake of the 29-year-old wide receiver, hope that sinks in, along with staying healthy. Stay tuned.

Well, well, well, company man is suddenly critical of Dez Bryant?

Maybe he's doing his part to pave the way when Bryant is jettisoned?

 

[Whyjerry]

Not a Mickey fan at all. A major clown. That said, he is right on this one. Dez is just not worth the drama. 8 years in the league and we are learning how to better run routes? Please....

 

[Idgit]

See, this is what I alluded to earlier. And it wasn't a knock on the previous coaches. More a comment on the likelihood anything significant is going to change with Dez at this point.

 

[Whyjerry]

I will add that Mickey writing this means it is probably not going to go well for Dez...

That's exactly what he's doing. He is getting out ahead of the company.

That would be my guess.

Suddenly, Bryant wasn't that good.

When the guy who lives on his proverbial knees for the Cowboy organization starts criticizing a current player, that player probably won't continue being a current player for long.

Sign of things to come, I'd bet. Bye Dez!

 

[Bullflop]

Since Mickey is usually finding ways to back the company's interest, it gives me pause. Is Dez really destined to get the boot? We'll see.

 

[CowboyChris]

you guys forget the country club atmosphere at the Star, who has time to work on route running? geeze

Good point. Dez is history.

 

[408Cowboy]

So everybody said he needs to work on routes and nobody could get him to do it?

 

[TwoDeep3]

But wait, I was just lectured on my belief Dez struggles with routes. How can this be?

 

[408Cowboy]

Almost every thread on the front page is about Dez or the wr position.

 

[sdfidaho]

So I guess this means Ridley at #19

It's comedy dude!

I have to admit, this is interesting for sure.

Called this a while back. Mick only will be negative about a coach or player when is doing it for the company and normally when they are gone or getting the axe soon. I think QC was the only one Mickey was negative about way before he was released. He did not like QC and I think he knew QC was a druggie and it was only a matter of time till he was cut.

When the Team's Loyal Lapdog is dropping you from his protection list, you know it's bad. I mean, Mickey Spags would shill for the waterboy if the organization wanted it, so Dez is a goner..

 

[TruBluSince1982]

Micky certainly heard whispers if he is already doing damage control.
