Garrett questions Hardy outburst

“There is no issue”, Bryant told ESPN’s Josina Anderson.

The NBC telecast of the game caught footage of Bryant coming over to Hardy to talk, but the uniformed player was not having it. Words were exchanged and pushing began. “He’s all over the place”. In the spring, Hardy posted an offensive tweet about the September 11 attacks in reference to the Panthers, his former team. Then I realized it was Greg.

While the fight may indicate there is a problem with the team, head coach Jason Garret put that idea to rest. “The experience that he had within the system and the nuances of playing with particular guys, sometimes those things show up when you don’t have the opportunity to do that in practice and in game situations”.

Well, you should see what club executive vice president Stephen Jones reportedly wants to do to Hardy. That happens, you encourage guys, you try to get guys excited. Apparently, it all gets worked out in the end as just motivation and building each other up for better play, but these large men fighting is pretty scary. “I believe from my vantage point, that’s what he was doing”, he added.

“When we initially signed, talked to him, asked him to join the team, it was not only with the idea of a short-term but a long-term purvey”, Jerry Jones said.

“They’ll probably give me a chance to guard him, learning from Gronk”, Jones said. Hardy gave a ridiculous press conference his first week back, knocked a clipboard out of an assistant coach’s hands in another game and got in a screaming match with Dez Bryant on the sideline. Jones called Hardy “one of the real leaders on this team”. And so they get it done, and through that, earn a great deal of respect by their teammates. “It’s amusing how those expressions and kind of things are interpreted”.

Bryant, who’s been known to flip out on the sidelines himself, followed Hardy to attempt to calm him down, which went about as well as you might expect. He was ready to play. That’s MMQB reporter Jenny Vrentas serving as the face of a nation as she listens on as Jones praises the leadership this walking menace displayed in attacking several of his employees in full view of 80,000 people and FOX’s video cameras. Hardy signed a one-year, incentive-laden deal worth as much as $13 million with the Cowboys during the off-season.

“I think anytime you evaluate a player, it starts with who he is and what he’s bringing to the team”, Garrett continued. He becomes a free agent after this year.
