2012 “Damaged Goods” NFL Draft Prospect: Bye Dez, Hi Ryan Broyles! - The Landry Hat - The Landry Hat - A Dallas Cowboys Fan Site - News, Blogs, Opinion and more.

]]> For a true fan, it’s never too early to speculate (or drool) over the 2012 draft prospects that could be called up to wear the Star. It is too soon to deem the 2010 class a failure, but as much as it might pain some people to hear this, I don’t think Dez Bryant will stay in Dallas long. He’s saying all the right things to the media, although I don’t feel that those are his words.  I feel that’s what he’s been coached and told to say.  Maybe all of his problems with sagging pants and expensive jewelry bills are behind him, but how many sideline raves are we going to endure before Coach Garrett grabs him by the face mask, looks him in the eye and gives him The Ultimatum: Act right, or get out.

We have seen through Garrett’s press conferences and interviews exactly what he is trying to accomplish with his team.  He wants the “right” type of players.  Take for example David Arkin and Shaun Chapas. Both have been perceived by former coaches, players, and scouts to be “old fashioned” football players.  They might not be the biggest, strongest, or fastest; but they are mentally tough, don’t quit, and love the game of football. They do the little things right, and eventually those “little things” that are involved with preparation will combine with strength due to Mike Woicik’s program and they will be  great, dependable football players.  I haven’t heard of any problems with these two showing up on time, missing meetings or rehab sessions, or walking around a Dallas area mall with sagging pants and causing trouble with local police.
