"Dallas Cowboys rookie wide receiver Dez Bryant said he didn't know about the tradition of carrying a veteran's shoulder pads, and said Tuesday that he will take care of the matter."

"I didn't know nothing about no tradition," Bryant said. "The only thing about me ... when I try to do something right, ya'll try and turn it negative and I don't feel like that's right. I'm trying my best to do the right thing but it seems like I can't do the right thing because every little thing that I do ya'll watching it and try to make a big deal out of it."

Right, I guess you are a ruh-tard after all.

That's some classic Agent-speak (albeit worded in his own fashion) right there- take criticism of a mistake and turn it on the press... dang, the dude hasn't played 1 pro game yet and already "y'all" (the press) are after him.

Delicious. He's going to be entertaining watching in post-game interviews

Dez Bryant's Wonderlic was like, 16. But, look at Chris Johnson. Not the brightest sounding guy in the world...2,000 yard season.

How he said it makes no difference to me. I've long since realized that a lot of the players entering the NFL these days are not the brightest light bulbs, so I have absolutely no expectation for adherence to the rules of the English language.

That said, it's not about how he said something, but what he was intimating with his words. He's already taken on a "me vs the press" attitude and the cat hasn't even felt the real brunt of a post-game presser when/if he shits the bed in a game.

Dez Bryant is the best player to come out of this draft. He shouldnt have to carry anyones pads especially that loser Roy Williams.

yea, just like all the other HOFers to carried pads and didn't b**ch about it. not to mention the guys that are in the NFL right now that did it (and have already proven themselves at this level, and didn't say a peep. they are pads, not s**t

Yeah, that is a bit ridiculous. I do believe TOO much was made of this by the press, but all of the rookies were warned about these kind of things in the rookie symposium, I'm sure. The day he drops a TD pass that costs the team...you will see something from him that will rival A.I.'s "practice" speech.

Ike Reese (former Eagle who has a radio show) mentioned almost every team has at least 1 player each year who refuses to participate in the "hazing". He mentioned J Trotter was that way when they were rookies and Trotter was drafted in the 3rd round. Ike said he had to always carry extra pads and pick up extra lunch/dinner bills because Trotter refused to do it.

Dez does have a legit point but he is playing in a market that has a brutal media and he will be under their microscope for years to come because of the "baggage" and expectations he brings to "America's team". Suck it up and get used to it Dez, it isn't going away.

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      In your opinion. What do you think Moton's true value in contract, dollars and guarantees? If we had not extended him, what is your plan for RT in 27 and 28? How important are good offensive linemen for our current offense? How much value do you put on protecting Bryce at this stage of his career? How difficult in general do you think finding above average tackles in the NFL is?

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      The Falcons have 2 significant offensive line injuries to start the 2025 season. Right tackle Kaleb Mcgary (who is the blindside protector for Penix since he is left-handed) is going to miss significant time, and it's looking more like it may be all season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-expect-kaleb-mcgary-to-miss-significant-time https://x.com/BKsquared7/status/1959285822236107013. Also, the top backup and swing tackle, Storm Norton (cool name BTW) is having ankle surgery and may miss half the season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-ot-storm-norton-out-6-8-weeks-after-ankle-surgery I don't root for injuries, but its also hard to be too sympathetic given how badly injuries have hit us in recent years. We definitely need to get that W in week 3 for our home opener at BOA. Despite our collective frustration at not being able to attend TC and then having boring preseason games, ultimately the most important objective of the preseason is to enter Week1 healthy, and we have at least done that. Hopefully the depth we think we have at Oline either shines through or isn't needed. Many other teams are in a bad spot with their offensive lines before the season even starts. For once, we aren't in that situation.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By CRA · Posted

      That roster was billed as a super smart and strong unit for a young QB….until he sucked though.   it didn’t have superstars but it had proven vets that checked well all the safe boxes and it was universally agreed the Panthers were putting him into position to succeed. BY just doesn’t fit a traditional O because he isn’t built like a traditional QB.  And he still doesn’t.   CJ Stroud would have had more success here than Bryce with that cast.   CJ just has the tools that fit the NFL more easily.  Young can find success but I have always argued it would take a Bryce centric plan (which we have never attempted IMO)
