Dez Bryant Calls Out Stephen Jones for Scapegoating Him, Deflects Shot Towards Coaches [UPDATES]
Dez Bryant, whose production declined to the extent that it is July 27th and he is not on an NFL roster, had a loaded response to loaded words from Cowboys CEO Stephen Jones. Bryant deflected the ideas that Dallas’s offensive struggles were his fault, and pointed the finger at the coaching staff:
Here we go with that scapegoat shit.. i charged everything to the game and went the other way.. y’all know what the real problem is .. don’t put it on me with that bullshit.. garbage ass play calling.. Everybody lined up in the same spot for 17 weeks.. ? ? https://t.co/YhG4cAPx6O

FWIW, the Cowboys’ playcaller is Scott Linehan. Obviously, he reports to Jason Garrett. We’ll see if this further escalates from here …
UPDATE: Yahoo’s Ryan Young convincingly makes the point that Stephen Jones was taken out of context.
UPDATE: Nonetheless, Dez ain’t done with his Twitter rant:
He’s not clueless.. Jerry was the only one who was clueless.. shit was a planned to get me out ask Travis and my brother snake Lee I mean Sean Lee https://t.co/7BK9cEkW90
