Dez Bryant is having a good offseason, but it's got to carry over

[Midswat]

Dez Bryant is having a good offseason, says receivers coach Jimmy Robinson, who believes a formal offseason will be a benefit.

“The teaching sessions got off to a good start. He’s out here working really, really hard to get better,” Robinson said. “It’s got to make a difference. If it doesn’t, then what’s the point of the offseason program? I’m confident it’s going to help.”

Like everyone else, Bryant didn’t get a supervised offseason last year because of the lockout. So Robinson, hired a year ago after being part of the staff of Green Bay's Super Bowl championship team, didn’t get to work with the Cowboys’ No. 1 pick from 2010.

“He’s doing great. Having a good offseason,” Robinson said. “Working really hard and getting better out there every day. Again, that’s got to carry over to the next phase, to the OTAs and training camp and then regular season, game day.”

Robinson was asked how he judges the progress of a player like Bryant in the offense.

“Just play by play. How’s he doing? Is he picking up things well? Is he making mistakes? Is he repeating mistakes?” Robinson said. “It’s a real gradual play-by-play, day-by-day process. It takes a lot of time.”

Is Bryant working on anything specific?

Robinson said, “Not really. It’s a whole lot of things, everything. I guess you could say we’re working on everything. But he’s off to a good start.”

In other words, he needs a lot of work. In year 3.

Dez's first year with Kitna throwing to him mostly and after missing an entire Senior year at Oak had some pretty meh numbers only gaining 561 yards 6 touch downs (one on a punt return). In 12 games.

Des'z second year with no offseason really and coming off a broken ankle with Romo throwing to him, and this time only missing 1 game with 3 more he was hurt in, but active... He gained 928 yards and 9 touch downs.

I fail to see where the kid has

A) Even really had an opportunity to have an offseason (his first year, scandrick knocked him out of TC with an ankle sprain.
B) Failed to give his all when in a game and not broken.
C) Not made strides even with everything that has happened that has kept him from practicing and being around our trainers.

He's a stud, only fucked up idiots would say he needs a lot of work.

Hopefully Dez can apply what little brain power he has to learning a couple more plays.

Hes a beast, but kind of a retarded beast that just beasts around the field with no real rhyme or reason.

They're called option routes, he won several games for us with them, learn the damn game.

Dez is a locker room leader and has the entire playbook memorized.

And no, I'm not guessing.

Dez has put up some decent numbers, but he's still only scratching the surface. If he and Romo can get on the same page consistently, ....

You mean, if they can develop some chemistry?

I agree.

You mean, if Dez can learn more than just a fly route?

That would require a head coach who's not just giddy to be there, but actually has the ability to utilize his weapons and develop players.

Soooo, you don't like Jason Garrett ?

I remember watching the early parts of the Jets game last year when he was having his way with Revis and thinking Dez was going to take the league by storm. I was off slightly.

Its up to him. He can be Andre Johnson, or he can be Antonio Bryant.

He just needs to be more consistent. This shit about catching 4 passess in the first qtr for 70 yards and a TD, only to never be heard from again the rest of the game needs to stop.
