Following Dez Bryant’s arrest in July for allegedly assaulting his mother, Tony Romo was one of the first Cowboys to speak publicly about the young wide receiver. The Cowboys quarterback showed support for Bryant by saying he prays for him and lets Bryant know that he has his back. On Wednesday, Romo was asked during a conference call with Baltimore media members if he offers Bryant guidance regarding his off-the-field issues. As he did in July, Romo supported his teammate. “Yeah, me and Dez talk all the time,†Romo said. “He’s in a position where everyone, being in the public eye, is going to know what’s going on. It’s just part of growing and maturing and becoming the guy that he is. I am proud of him. He is doing a good job as he continues to take steps in his life on and off the field.†Source: Dallas Morning News
how about maturing on the field, learning the playbook, and potentially hitting your stride this season?
romo is obviously just trying to support the kid, but, yes, it's obvious he's still got a LOT of maturing he needs to do ON the field and i would like to see him stay out of trouble OFF the field for more than just 3 months before announcing that he is maturing off the field.
