As you send the kids back to school this week, prepare yourself for a history lesson as well.
Because Dez Bryant is about to embark on the most
prolific season ever by a Dallas Cowboys’ receiver. Stuff that in your
backpack.
For a franchise that boasts Hall-of-Famers Bob Hayes and
Michael Irvin, ‘70s All-Decade member Drew Pearson and even the productive,
petulant Terrell Owens, Bryant’s 2013 season will re-boot the record books.
Barring injury of course, he’ll break Irvin’s team-record
for catches (111 in ’95) and yards (1,603 in ’95), and Terrell Owens’ mark for
touchdowns (15 in ’07).

Dez hasn’t fully matured as an NFL receiver. But if this
preseason has taught us anything, he’s finally reached puberty.
By December he just might
be the best receiver in the league.
“He’s got that kind of talent, yes,” owner Jerry Jones
told us media in the Cowboys’ locker room after their 24-18 victory over the
Cincinnati Bengals last Saturday night. “We’re seeing a lot of the things from Dez we thought we
would see when we drafted him.”
For a couple years Dez merely caught the football. He’s
now learning there’s much more to playing receiver.
Route-running. An intricate
knowledge of the plays. Sometimes playing defense on poorly thrown passes.
Channeling emotions into positive energy rather than distracting sideline
outbursts. Removed as a punt returner and beyond the domestic dispute with his
mother, jewelry loans, etc. that plagued his Cowboys’ infancy, Dez is now
poised to dominate his position more than any other player with a star on his
helmet.
Against the Bengals at AT&T Stadium he
was a ‘Boy against boys, catching five passes and a touchdown on a
second-quarter drive that provided a glimpse of his potential. Near the
goal-line, he merely shrugged off cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick – the 17th overall
draft pick in 2012 from Alabama – and nabbed a touchdown like a dad toying with
his toddler.
In a little more than three pre-season quarters (10
series), Dez amassed 13 catches for 183 yards.
The Cowboys have deficiencies. Dez can take up the slack.
“I don’t look at it as pressure,” he said after the game.
“I always have a high standard for myself. That’s just how it goes. If I put up
the numbers, I put them up.”
To have the best receiving season in Cowboys’ history,
Bryant has to average seven catches, 101 yards and one touchdown per game.
Consider it done.
Class dismissed.
should be "man against boys"
ReplyDeleteNo thanks, I like my way better. That's why I wrote it.
DeleteAny response to the latest rambling from Greggo? I haven't heard it personally since it was a download or something. But apparently he says he never drank on the job and will be filing a lawsuit on you.
ReplyDeleteWho?
DeleteI'm sure Richie gives a rats ass about what that nutjob is going to do.
DeleteHe cared enough about that 'nutjob' enough to write a 5 part tell all about him.
DeleteCorrect. However, if you read my statement you will note that my point is about the "nutjobs" future plans. I didnt address Richie's 5 Part Essay on why Greggo is freaking insane.
DeleteI will stand by my claim that Richie doesnt give a rats ass. Thank you for your time.
All I gotta say is....not hot. And on a side note, he looks like complete shit. Hope he is tackling the demons and not embracing them.

This prediction is insane. Dez Bryant will break none of the records. Bad offensive line does not give Tony Romo the time to throw long balls, bad running game allows the defense to focus on Bryant and Witten. Miles Austin and whomever else is left can be handled one-on-one. If Cowboys defense has improved significantly as you have suggested, teams will look to grind it out against the Boys, reducing the amount of high scoring games. All signs point to NO WAY. Bill2455
