Dallas Escorts: Cowboys eager to see whether rookie WR Dez Bryant dazzles in debut Sunday vs …
… I have a feeling that when the lights turn on, he’s going to respond,” coach Wade Phillips said. “Sometimes for players, it’s too big for them or they have problems. It seems like every time he gets a chance to show what he can do, he does well.”
Bryant declined to be interviewed Monday. But, really, there’s not much left for him to say.
He’s answered countless questions about his character and work ethic (the reasons he slid to the 24th pick in the draft) and his sordid family background (Miami’s GM apologized again last week for asking if his mother was a prostitute). He’s talked about the Cowboys’ high hopes for him (Jerry Jones decided draft night that Bryant would wear No. 88, same as Michael Irvin and Drew Pearson) and about lessons learned the hard way (he didn’t know he was supposed to carry a veteran’s pads). He’s certainly tired of talking about his rehabilitation from a high ankle sprain suffered July 30.
