Was it smart to leave lucky home for "this" game?

I know he needed to be punished, but this sort of punishes and hurts the team doesnt it ??
Cant they fine him or cut him out of a later game like philly?

We left our luck home and lost.
Lucky usually gets positive yards on the jet sweep, and then that sets up counter runs etc off it.
JG decided he didnt need that to beat those pesky giants lol.

I mean did this hurt the team more than lucky? And in a close game like this you need all your starters.

I might add that dumbar took the last ko out of the endzone and only made the 13 yd line,
Do they not coach these guys on this? in that situation, you down it and start at the 25 !

i can't think of a single time in his entire career he was the difference maker on the field.

so no, i don't think it matters.

I like the team finally showing backbone to stupid behavior. It might hurt sometimes in the short run, but it's better in the long run. The team as a whole is always better off if all the players know they can't get away with doing stupid crap.

Then how do you explain dez missing meetings but never benched ?

Dez Bryant isn't Lucky Whitehead.

Doesn't mean he shouldn't be disciplined. Just not the same as a roster filler like Whitehead.

For instance - If I'm the coach, if Dak Prescott sneezed without covering his mouth I'd cut him. If Ezekiel Elliott assaulted my mother I'd have him run some laps. Unless he didn't feel like it.

Lucky Whitehead wouldn't of made any difference in the outcome of that game. They were penalized on 3 straight punt returns and he has 1 sweep play a game. He doesn't factor in that much to make a difference.

The problem wasn't the return man, it was the blockers that kept getting penalties on the returns. Would have been better off just fair catching everything.

Sounds like good-old Lucky may be left home permanently if he doesn't start showing up to meetings.

Seriously, there's a real shot he gets cut.
