Garrett questions Hardy outburst
“He’s a special player”. ‘Coach is screwing me, man. He’s got this white boy playing over me.’ I said, ‘Travis, that dude’s better than you.
Greg Hardy was having a really bad day at the office when he went off on his Dallas Cowboys teammate, Dez Bryant.
The Cowboys had six plays of 20 yards or more compared to six combined over the previous three games with quarterback Brandon Weeden at the helm.
Still the 3-4 Seahawks maintain one of the NFL’s top rushing attacks with 143.3 yards per game, and starter Marshawn Lynch notched his first 100-plus yard game of the season with 122 yards and one score last week after dealing with a hamstring injury last month.
“Anybody who has played athletics long enough has been around individuals who have played with passion, and the thing about those types of individuals and those types of personalities is being able to put boundaries around them to get great play out of them on the field but to set the expectations that you are a professional and act professional”, Hennings said at an event at AT&T Stadium meant to raise awareness and prevent domestic violence.
The report added to the controversies surrounding Hardy this season as he posted an insensitive tweet about the 9/11 attacks in the offseason. His comments about New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, his wife, Giselle, and Giselle’s sister show that Hardy still has a lot of growing up to do – despite the fact that he is 27 years old. Hardy then signed a deal with the Cowboys that was on the basis of the number of games he will play and the number of sacks. They’re dealing with the fallout from defensive end Greg Hardy’s sideline outburst this past Sunday. “And that’s part of our job as coaches”.
The Dallas Cowboys are trying to do anything possible to get a win in Week 8.
Executive vice president Stephen Jones told 105.3 The Fan on Monday that an extension with Hardy is “very much a possibility”.
But Garrett is preaching the same message he conveys with his stoic sideline demeanor, even though he’s been stuck for more than a month just a win shy of matching two-time Super Bowl victor Jimmy Johnson for the second-most victories in franchise history at 44.
“We’ll keep working hard. That’s how we’ll handle those situations going forward”. We’re going to build on the stuff that was good. We’re going to clean up the stuff that wasn’t good. “We won’t get into that, that’s not the point”.
Because of chances taken by Jones on past players with serious off-field issues, the owner and general manager has been called an enabler.
That being said, if Dez Bryant is as ready to return, as he says he is, there’s no question a QB who can air it out a little bit is the right choice for Sunday. His teammates respect his practice habits and how hard he plays. Bryant said Williams should have been called for pass interference on a potential game-tying conversion and Williams responded by saying that Bryant “needs to step up and be a man”.
