Dez Bryant says " I don't carry anyones pads" lol

But I kinda think it's just Dez's way of saying, R.W., you haven't done shit since you got traded to the Cowboys and I'm letting people know I plan on taking your job and proving you even more worthless than you already are. Sure this will probably start some beef between them, but it was probably bound to happen anyways. And I doubt this will be received too harshly with the other Cowboys, because odds are they don't like R.W. anyways and even though they might think it's wrong they probably also see where he's coming from because of R.W.'s lack of production.

And I'm also sure Dez Bryant is a prideful kinda guy, but there's nothing wrong with that. His teammates might not like him not carrying pads, but it's probably balanced out because they probably like how he started practicing 45 minutes early and they probably like everything he's done so far, and if he starts out great I'm pretty sure his popularity in the locker room will grow until nobody gives a shit that he did that to R.W.

I think the best way for Bryant to do this is shut his mouth, do what he's supposed to and outplay Williams. This really doesn't help him at all, but then again I really don't care. Hopefully this is a sign that the "label" he has is not too far from the truth and becomes another prima donna that will give the cowgirl headaches.

It shouldn't matter who is asking him. Fact is Roy Williams has done more in this league than he has. I would bet more players will be siding with RW vs. Bryant. Should be interesting to see what step 2 is.

Now I cannot admit to hazing anyone or being hazed but I can say this. There are certain traditions in this world and I'm quite sure that Dez has hazed someone in some shape or form. It's not like these dudes have to learn information, or even go through the stereotypical forms of hazing. Carrying pads, paying for lunches and stuff. Man you're in the freaking NFL, have some fun with it. I've met and talked to folks who didn't want to "go through" and hazing, felt it wasn't that serious. It's character building in the sense that you humble yourself for a second if it is done the right way. You truly can build bonds with a group of folks that you are joining up with. His attitude is a I don't need to humble myself in anyway because I'm hard and I don't need this shit type of thing. With al that being said, it's kinda ironic that he's wearing the number of the King Hazer in Cowboy country (Irvin stabbing a guy for not getting out of the barber chair) but doesn't want to be hazed.

I say all of that to say this, **** the Cowboys !

Lol. I knew, as soon as I read this story online, that there would be a dedicated thread surrounding this.

I get a chuckle when I read posts about “Trouble in Cowgirl camp” about this. Trouble? Really? If this is a deep as the media has to dig to find something controversial to write about the entire Cowboys off season, then I surely welcome it. Bring it on.

So he refused to carry a vets pads. Where are the comments about Dez Bryant being the first player on the field for practice? A full 45 minutes before anyone else hit the field? Wheres the comments that Bryant was at the Alamodome ready for that first practice 2 hours before anyone else was there?

Where’s the comments that he was the first player that was selected in the, 1st round to sign?
How about when a reporter commented on how well this young man presented himself, the reporter commented on how he counted Bryant responding with “Yes SIR” 6 times in a five minute interview?

But when he refuses to carry shoulder pads for a vet WR whose only claim to fame is that he couldn’t catch water if he fell out of a friggin boat, THAT’S CONTREVERSY!?

Like I said, bring it on.

I have to admit, I identify with this post a lot more than the general tone of this thread.

Bryant not carrying Roy's pads is a non issue when it comes to football. And it hardly indicates he's a TO personality in waiting.

Seems to be a bit big for his britches seeing as he's never taken a snap. That won't sit well with vets. Running laps around the alamodome high fiving fans seems a bit much too.

You keep using the word controversy (spellcheck is your friend btw). I don't see anyone screaming controversey except you. Bottom line is it's not positive and it's coming from Cowboys camp. This is a Redskins site. Why wouldn't we be all over this?

Your presence here always has and always will be annoying to me.

Good, nice to know it's working.

And I would not get too overly concerned about the Williams-Dez thing, like Williams said, he can go to "step two".

In other words, it is a player thing that will be handled by the players in the locker room. Im sure the other vets will step in as well.

Again if this is the biggest controversy surrounding the Cowboys off season (and thus far it is), it is a refreshing, welcome change of pace.

What with DT's not particiapting in mini-camps and demanding a trade AFTER cashing the check.

A 2 time Super Bowl winning QB getting suspended for 4-6 games.

DFROY suspended for illegal drugs.

Yeah, I'll take this any day of the week,

Any trouble in cowgirl-land, minor or not, is good news to me. You've been blessed with a mild off-season. Is this a deeper indicator of Bryant's personality and future behavior or is it an isolated, minor incident, we'll see?

To saden's point, when it's crunch time and dall-ass needs a play, will there be a "miscommunication" between Byrant and Homo and the girls sitting home in Jan. Or will there be a problem because Witten is getting more touches and Bryant pulls himself out of the game to pout, again only time will tell.

actually NFL N and ESPN both reported that he was the 1st one there and the last one to leave.

You know, if I was a college dropout who was suspended for a year for some misdemeanor (no matter how slight or overblown it may be) and was getting paid millions of dollars to play a game, I would be on my best behavior too.

And with a rep for showing up late...he may have been early on day one, but let's see if it lasts...

if you're looking for any one of us to praise a cowboy... you're in the wrong place.

MonkFan nailed this...
This is a lack of humility thing.

Anyone not willing to lower their ego a bit for the sake of the team is likely to be prideful.

What does that mean?....me first, team second.

Does this affect ability...no...but it does affect team cohesion and trust...yes.

This issue sounds pretty familiar to Skins fans.

That's a huge stretch.

Dude we are talking about Roy Williams wanting him to carry his pads not Emmit Smith or Troy Aikman. I'm guessing most players on Dallas agree with him for not wanting to play along with his games.
