In other news, the Cowboys returned to babysitting duties with Dez Bryant. When they weren’t doing that, they were considering whether to allow Doug Free to move back to right tackle and switch Tyron Smith to left tackle.

Here is the story line:

  8. What Jason Garrett Needs to Address
  9. “ Garrett needs a comprehensive study of why his team keeps collapsing every time the season turns to December and the games become more important.

It’s not a fluke. Or a coincidence. There’s something wrong with this team’s intangibles, and if Garrett keeps running from the truth instead of addressing it, then the problem is never going to go away.

  • The Troubles of Dez Bryant
  • “ I think Dez Bryant is a huge problem because he’s so talented, but there are so many issues that come with Dez. It’s whether he’s capable of learning the entire offense, and if he’s capable of behaving himself off the field. I think you are who you hang around with, and if you’re in those kind of areas where there’s trouble, it’s a problem. This is a ticking time bomb. I think the Cowboys need to definitely monitor the situation, but I think the fundamental question they need to ask is if they want to invest a contact in Dez Bryant going forward. And I think the answer to that question is no. NFL analyst: Cowboys shouldn’t invest… Wed, Jan 18 2012 01:27:47
