Seahawks’ Lockette to undergo neck surgery after big hit

“He’s really tenacious and really aggressive and I really like how he plays”.

“I don’t know that it’s my role as the head coach of the opposing team to go over there and spend time with their player”. I thought [Cowboys coach] Jason Garrett could have done a better job on that.

Lockette suffered ligament damage in his neck on the play and will have surgery at Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas on Monday to stabilize the condition. He reiterated during his press conference later in the day that he doesn’t know how it will impact Lockette’s football future beyond this season. I was playing hard, and he was doing the same thing. Bryant went on an expletive-filled tirade following the game as journalists pressed him about the alleged taunt. The minimum fine for a first-offense blindside block is $23,152. Heath, who has never been fined, makes $34,411 per week.

The Dallas Cowboys fell short to the defending NFC Champion Seattle Seahawks 13-12 in their week eight showdown in Arlington yesterday afternoon.

Seattle’s escape from Dallas was thanks to a defense that for a second straight week didn’t allow a touchdown and was suffocating in the fourth quarter. “We are certainly getting a lot of help throughout the rest of the division”, owner Jerry Jones said. I don’t like the outcome of the hit. “We’re finishing games well on both sides of the ball and starting to play in the style that we’re accustomed to”. The Seahawks called a timeout prior to Bailey’s attempt.

“It’s double jeopardy”, referee Carl Cheffers said in a pool report. Obviously, the snap did not happen. At the time, the timeout was erroneously granted. Unfortunately, Matt Cassell was unable once again to get the offense into the end zone and Dallas had to settle for another Bailey field goal, but they took a 12-10 lead. “We just made a mistake”.

While Lockette was being attended to on the field, there was a heated exchange between the teams, while Heath remained on the Cowboys’ sideline. “He had a sore neck and we’ll figure out what that all means, but we’re grateful that he was able to bounce out from that and be pretty positive about it right now as we hear from him”, the coach added in its website.

Heath was asked if Cowboys special teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia talked to him about the hit and what he could learn from it. Meanwhile, slot receiver Cole Beasley hasn’t caught a pass in back-to-back games and has just one outing with at least five receptions on the season.
