    Dear Dez: No, It's Not the Media's Fault. It's Your Fault.

    Dez Bryant Catching Passes, Dropping Duties

    Dex Bryant​Roy Williams can't carry Dez Bryant's jock, so why should the Dallas Cowboys' rookie receiver carry the veteran's pads? Because he's a rookie, that's why.

    ​It took all of three plays - without pads, mind you - to see the full Dez Bryant package. As last season officially melted into this season, the Dallas Cowboys held OTAs (Organized Team Activities) out at Valley Ranch. Their rookie receiver, as expected, dazzled.

    Give Me Roy Williams over Terrell Owens

    ​Not over their careers obviously, because Terrell Owens is a no-brainer Hall of Famer and Roy Williams is a one-time Pro Bowler who in 2006 snuck in only after Torry Holt backed out with an injury. But this year - horrible for both as of yet - I'll take Williams. Notsamuch because of his ste ... More >>
