SAN ANTONIO -- Dez Bryant isn't buying into the rookie hazing so far, and that could be costly for him. Veteran Roy Williams ordered the rookie to carry his shoulder pads after practice. Bryant is refusing.

"I'm not doing it, because I feel like I was drafted to play football, not carry another player's pads," Bryant said. "If I was a free agent, I'd still say the same thing. I just feel like I'm here to play football. I'm here to try to help win a championship, not carry another man's pads. I'm not saying that out of disrespect."

Williams said Bryant would pay for his refusal to carry on a rookie tradition at Cowboys camp.

"He's kind of ornery right now," Williams said. "He doesn't want to carry the pads. He said that's our pads and we should take them in the locker room.... If not, we'll go to step two."

And step two is?

"We'll find out; we're definitely going to find out," Williams said. "I've seen guys take people's credit cards and go fill up their cards and wives' cards. There's a lot of dirt that goes on in that locker room." Williams said he carried pads and paid for meals when he was a rookie with the Lions.

"I did everything I was supposed to do, because I didn't want to be that guy," Williams said.

If Bryant didn't like this idea I wonder what he will be thinking when they tape him to the goal posts later on?

Honestly I can respect that. Who cares. Bryant is already a better WR than Williams will ever be and he hasn't played a down yet. I'd tell him to fug off too.

It's not a Dez Bryant / Roy Williams thing, it is an NFL thing that has been going on for years!

      D and D is the answer.

      For Bryce’s obvious shortcomings (bad pun), there is upside to his game. This isn’t being a homer or apologists, but I like to consider myself fair in criticism.  He’s far tougher than I ever thought he’d be. I really thought homie would have been broken in half by now. I don’t know how he’s not, but he’s not.  He is prone to turning the ball over early in games which digs a huge hole the team is not built to come back from, but dude DOES come up with crucial first down in crucial situations. It’s NEVER pretty, but he just kind of has the shining. He gets bailed out LOTS, and the team still loses games because of him, but he’s a bit of an enigma. He’s a turnover machine that is clutch in big moments.  He’s a smart/elusive cat. He kind of has to be with his limitations. His audibles are almost always correct and he understands coverages. I don’t see him getting fooled too frequently. His turnovers are almost never the ‘damnit Jake/Cam!’ brand we have been accustomed to. They are ALWAYS due to his size/strength limitations.  Strip sacks that shouldn’t be. Picks that happened because he just don’t got that NFL arm. He is still prone to panicking and the wheels can and do fall off at a much higher rate than his peers.  The team is winning on the backs of the defense, running game and special teams… but they’re winning, and unbelievably 1 game behind Tampa. As long as this is happening and Bryce doesn’t go full meltdown, Dave is going to keep him in. He is not getting pulled.

      Meow Mix podcast cancels plans to return after players tell them not to

      This was a terrible podcast. A bunch of uninformed homers that had worse takes than the bottom 10% of the Huddle. I listened to a handful of podcasts this past offseason in search of new Panthers material since John Ellis doesn't do his pod anymore and The 4 Man Rush don't either. Immediately deleted it after the handful I listened to. Truly terrible.

      Why do people think Bryce Young won this game yesterday?

      The NFC South was so bad it sent a team with a losing record to the Playoffs that year. Wilks had players playing hard at the end but let’s not act like that was a good season. That season hurts even more now that we see in hindsight how good our QB situation was. We just didn’t know it.
