[MrB]

theres a preview of the new episode of hard knocks of dez meeting with hue jackson


hue asks dez what hes looking for from the browns

dez says he just wants come in, chill with the browns and to be honest with him











not prove people that he can still play



not help the team win games




not provide veteran leadership to young receivers (lol i would spit out my coffee if i was hue jackson and dez bryant told me that)





nope



dez wants to chill


and he wants honesty

I heard the audio this morning and can definitely see why Cleveland has no interest in signing him.

They decided he was a matchup nightmare.








With them.

I really underestimated how stupid this guy is. But the real issue is why couldn't the team see it. I mean, he was here for years before they paid him a monster contract. He probably could have fetched a 1st round pick to some unsuspecting team.

Dez's jersey sales probably stayed high enough for jeri and his spawn to over-rule any football people in the building who were advocating for his ouster

Dez while talking to the Browns HC

“I love to learn”

Yeah, ok Dez, unless it’s a new route, then I hate that shit!

 

[NoMoRedJ]

So a fan tweets Dez recruiting him to New England and Dez tweets back that Tom Brady has always been his favorite player.

You may be right. There's no way this level of absolute stupidity just surfaced now. I mean, the monkey should have been a red flag.....

Was for me. Well, that and the rumor he was illiterate coming out of OSU. Would kind of explain why he never learned the playbook.

It was for Troy Aikman. He lost his shit when Dez's monkey showed up. The idiot, cancerous player bringing a monkey to the locker room was how Aikman knew the 90s ride was over.

I guarantee that he is still illiterate. So is Claiborne.

Didnt Jerry say he liked the monkey?

Didnt Jerry say he liked to spank his monkey?

Yes, he does

A little raw meat for the fellas. Browns look like Dez Bryant's lone option

That "lone option" appears to be more like a wishful option at this point.


One of the most interesting conversations of my training camp tour this summer was when I came across a non-Cowboys evaluator who had spent a lot of time parsing through Bryant’s film. According to this evaluator, Bryant had spent his career essentially making his living on four routes: back-shoulder throws, slants, digs and some variation of a fade or corner route in an attempt to win 50-50 opportunities. This was the scouting report on him and it rarely deviated, the evaluator said.

Bryant wasn’t a precise route-runner to begin with, and as of late he wasn’t winning with his meat and potatoes. This means that at 29 (and 30 by November), Bryant was going to need to drill down on a litany of things to compensate for what he was losing. That or relearn how to play certain aspects of his position.

“That’s why he’s not signed,” the evaluator said. “Because he’s not going to suddenly start running all these other routes and doing all the little things you have to do to be a great player.”

Lost in our hate of Dez Bryant is the fact that our personnel geniuses gave this guy a huge contract. They either knew his limitations and still paid him which is completely insane, or they didn't know his limitations which is equally fucked up. #Passion

Well yeah but he was top 10 every year in jerseys sold. Never saw a player with that many fanbois that didnt deserve it. Members of the 'Sports Center' culture apparently.

Wasnt lost on me. Hated that contract and many others from the word go.
