Don't worry, he'll be carrying Tony's maxi.

^ I'm sure landry would miss him seeing he couldn't tackle air last season. Now doughty or horton would be nice !

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

They should tape him to the endposts.

Trouble at school, trouble at Combine, now, trouble in cowgurl camp.

A big smile here! :laughing-

lol was gonna come post this but too late

of all people.. Roy Williams.. he haven't even carried his own weight, much less the amount his pads weigh

[quote=Hog1;714075]Not the issue...it's a matter of tradition in the NFL[/quote]

being Redskins fans we should know, if anyone, that there should be less entitlement on the side of veterans

I'm not saying rookies need to come in with too much swag but Dez could become the number 1 or 2 there

even if it's Landry's only hit of the season I'd rather it be him

he has that potential for the knockout hit, Horton and Doughty might not.. Moore might..

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

i just actually read this @ espn before seeing this over here... Williams said he'll take it to "step two" so we'll have to see what that is. hopefully a camp fight or like ethat001 said a goalpost taping... he definately isn't gonna make any friends like this, but i bet if he keeps this up nobody is gonna give him any crap

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

Well someone needs to put him in his place, that's for sure!

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

I look at it like this. First let me say that I don't think Dez Bryant is a diva, egotistical, etc. kinda guy. I think he's actually a decent guy who just has a label on him because of all the stuff that's happened in the last year. And sure this doesn't paint him in a good picture.

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.

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

I remember watching an NBA documentary about rookies where they said that the more you resist the worse it's going to be for you. Looks like Dez is going to learn that the hard way.

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

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.

Trouble in Cowgirl-land, good stuff.

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

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 !
