The Cowboys chose him and now he’s all theirs.

What a mistake.

It seems strange that Dez did not know the basic fundamentals of returning punts.

I think that Bryant is playing too scared – scared to fail. It’s good for a player to play with a little fear or pressure, but Bryant seems to play like he’s so scared to fair catch cuz someone might think he wasn’t trying hard enough. Or catch the ball and go down because someone might think he didn’t give second effort. Consequently, he’s prone to mistakes. Romo still plays a little like that some times.

Michael Irvin has said Dez Bryant is the most “talented” receiver he has seen. Now hearing that from a HOF wide receiver means something. On the other hand when you watch Dez play he is extremely dangerous with the ball and has unbelievable ability but is always just a dollar short. Running bad routes, dropping balls, fumbles, or just a bad decision on when to fair catch a ball. With all that being said I really would like to see him put it all together. The talent is there, now he just needs the right mind set.

Let’s see … Dez can’t field punts, can’t run routes, and can’t catch an easy pass over the middle. Makes a great catch that doesn’t count but brick hands for easy ones.

Why is he being paid to play pro ball?

Can’t buy a title Jerry. When will the media let this team fade away?

Bryant just needs to focus on running the right pass routes and catching the ball. He does not need to risk an injury returning a punt.

They need to get rid of the gloves. It makes players think they can catch anything, but they don’t have the tactile feel for securing it.

Go back to catching the ball the manly way – no gloves! Dang sissies!

Long hair, earrings, makeup, hankies, and gloves… no wonder this team has problems.

I really dont like this guy. Hes a new era M. Irvin but without the production. Id love to cheer his injury here in Philly as well.

Learn the playbook and tuck your shirt in, Dez. You look as sloppy as you play.

Question: Why was he on the punt return team to begin with?

Oh sorry it was Alper that said he could remain as the punt returner….

Wait a minute. Didn’t they JUST say, this week, he was still going to return punts? SHOCK, a coach or GM says something that isn’t so? i.e. Reid about Vick going to remain QB? I wonder if these guys know what the truth really is?

“I was very understanding,” Bryant said.
That was big of you, Dez, huge in fact. You’re a real pro, a team first guy all the way, for sure.

You better be understanding, the coach just told you “No”.
