Twitter: The Triplets 2.0

[erod]

Well you've clearly done no research on when receivers peak and how they decline.

While we are here...look at that RB line...

Next year, Dez will be in his 8th season at age 29. He runs about a 4.65 right now.

Dak and Zeke shouldn't count on him for more than 2-3 more years tops.

Going to need a receiver. I don't think Dez will be that effective for much longer.

I don't know. Nobody does. Hopefully he'll be similar to the former Bronco, Bear, and now Jet, Brandon Marshall.

Who knows?

 

[Trouty]

Every thread is a "Dez is not elite thread"

LOL

Get over yourselves, guys. He's our number one. We have more pressing needs if he wasn't (hypothetically) a number one receiver, anyways.

Yes, these are our Triplets.

Great article.

"Dez I heard about your loss. I want to let you know I've been through it. First and foremost, I want to let you know nobody, I mean nobody, can tell you how you are supposed to feel. There aren't any words to comfort someone except he is in a better place than this world and there is not anything to say to make you feel better right now. Please know I'm here for you brother. I love you man and anytime you want to talk about this or anything, my ears are open. I know I'm young, but I've been through damn near everything so I don't hesitate. Today is your day. This game is the only thing that gives me peace. That's why I'm so passionate about it, and I know you are the exact same way. Let's go have a day and honor your dad."

Wow. How old is this "kid" again? We got us a good one Zoners.

Dez doesn't compare to Michael Irvin. He isn't an elite WR.

To be fair Irvin was the GOAT. Nobody can compare to him

Usually for games I'm pumped, I'm amped, I have a million things running through my head," Bryant says. "That Pittsburgh game...I never felt that way ever before. I was calm. I played my best football. I ran the best routes I ever ran with the Cowboys. A lot of credit goes to Dak."

That's a true leader, guys. Bringing the best out of his other players.

If your a Cowboys fan you can't help but love this article.

Dez was never fast. His speed isn't wha tmakes him great. It's his strength, hands and catch radius. And increasingly he's becoming an effective route runner. It's the wide receivers that rely on their speed that will fall off a cliff. Dez after his elite days pass will transition into a better late career Brandon Marshall.

Exactly. His Run after Catch abilities are elite. Hes big and strong and watching DBs struggle and fail to tackle him reminds me of T.O.

Dez Bryant isnt an elite receiver? Then what is he, exactly?

The route running has really impressed me post-injury this season. To me, he's become such a better receiver at doing the little things -- things I wasn't sure he'd ever really hone in on.

Look at Antonio Brown,Julio Jones and AJ Green. Then look at Dez.

 

[Trouty]

Look at Antonio Brown,Julio Jones and AJ Green. Then look at Dez.

So Dez is a top 5-7 receiver. And?

I got the three you listed, in that order, then Evans and Dez. Is that not elite?

Same, Dale. It's clear as day he is honing his craft. Something is telling me he is going to the Larry Fitzgerald school of developing (tho, to be fair, Dez would get by on his natural talent, still, at this point of his career), and Fitz was always a great route runner.

This quote is revealing. Not sure if it has been posted here but I loved it and wanted to share.


"It was early August in Oxnard, California, and Kellen Moore, who had been taking most of the first-team reps at quarterback for the Cowboys, was off to have his broken ankle casted. Next man up would be the rookie.

Near the end of one of Prescott's first practices as the first-team quarterback, the Cowboys offense ran through a two-minute drill. With 12 seconds left, the ball was on the 42-yard line.

Prescott told Bryant he would hit him on a slant and instructed him to go down as soon as he caught it, so Prescott could clock it and Dan Bailey could attempt a game-winning field goal. Bryant nodded. The quarterback and receiver connected on the slant. But instead of going down, Bryant tried to score. He was stopped well short of the end zone and time ran out. The offense failed.

Prescott sprinted to Bryant and put his hand around the back of his neck.

"You are the baddest man on the field, the best player on the team," he told him. "But you have to listen to me. I told you that you had to get down. Look what just happened. We have the best kicker in the league."

Bryant listened intently, then looked him in the eye. Instead of shoving the rookie and storming off, he said, "I got you, man. It won't happen again."

It's been posted before but the rookie is afraid of no one. Let that sink in.

*goosebumps*

This kid was born to lead.

Awesome read. Dak has Brady like leadership qualities. The best part is how he corrected Dez...in camp
