Jerry Jones: Dez Bryant has to step up or we’ll move on
Posted by Josh Alper on August 1, 2012, 2:41 PM EDT


We heard late Tuesday that Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and wide receiver Dez Bryant had finally spoken for the first time since Bryant was arrested for allegedly assaulting his mother.

We got some details about that conversation on Wednesday when Jones joined our own Mike Florio on The Dan Patrick Show. Jones said that Bryant was contrite and sincere when they spoke and praised the wide receiver for the growth that he’s made since coming to the Cowboys. He also said that he was taking the incident seriously and that Bryant needs to “grow up.”

“He’s got to come on, step up and accept responsibility,” Jones said. “I’m demanding that he work through it. He must do it or we can’t count on him.”

Florio followed up by asking if that meant the Cowboys would move on from Bryant and Jones said that it did. The Cowboys aren’t going to dump their 2010 first-round pick at this point, but it’s the first time we’ve heard anything like this come from the team since Bryant’s arrest.

We still haven’t heard anything from Bryant, who hasn’t met with the media since his arrest, but, as Jones made clear, his actions are going to count more than his words going forward.

It's obvious he had already talked to Dez.. He just said no to avoid any questions. Then all the hoopla started and he had to cover himself.

Three days in and I'm already sick of him. He embarrassed himself with the "glory hole" nonsense, picked an unnecessary fight with the Giants, and was admittedly MIA during Dez's latest troubles. This team is in the very best of hands.

He looks like more of a fool and created more BS by saying he hadn't talk to him.

If his plan was to avoid any of the questions and BS, he probably should have just said he met with him and that would be the end of the questions.

He took the worst possible route anyone could possibly take if he truly had talked with Dez prior.

Of course, we know he didn't.
