    Drew Pearson, the former Cowboys receiver who famously wore the No. 88 that Bryant is currently sporting, was highly critical of the way the second-year standout finished the season opener according to Jon Machota of the Dallas Morning News. "You saw what happened in the fourth quarter," Pearson said on 103.3 FM's Ben and Skin show. "We had wide receivers that couldn't finish the game. Come on! Jeez! "The first quarter was spectacular. Great job, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. But now we need you in the fourth quarter and you can't even run? You catch three passes in the first quarter and then you get targeted five times after that and you don't make any catches?" Pearson added: "Let's not be so high on this guy who hasn't really done anything. He missed four games last season, he comes in this game and he can't finish it out." "I'm not laying this on Dez," Pearson said. "All I'm saying is that the team, period, was not conditioned to handle that fourth quarter. And that's why you saw the Jets overcome them."

    Their conditioning was horrendous. They looked half dead during the final quarter.

    That's what shortened training camps will do to players.
