Around SBN: 2012 Budweiser Shootout Entry List Released

Garrett gets the business

From the DMN

Quite frankly, it's about time in my opinion.  Every single one of us have noticed all season long that our talent, especially at WR, is being misused.  I know Witt is great, but we have some great playmakers in this offense that aren't being used.  I know they throw the ball to TO 3000 times a game, but it's the way they try to get him the ball.  Smoke screens aren't effective in the NFL.  Give this guy the ball on slants and drags and let him make plays.  Use Roy in the same way.  These are big, stong dudes.  I also have to applaud them for doing it in private.  If TO had ripped Garrett in the press, it would have been news.  But since he did things the right way, behind closed doors, this will be a side note.

This doesn't surprise me

I don’t know RW2 that well since he’s been a Lion most of his career but T.O. and Crayton are players who certainly aren’t afraid to speak their mind. I’m sure Garrett got an earful from those 2 guys.

I met Crayton at the radio show in Pittsburgh last Saturday night and he’s about as straight forward of a guy as you’re ever going to meet, he’s going to tell it like it is.

to a fault usually...

But I really like this. I hope it’s not too little too late, but I definitely like players going BEHIND CLOSED DOORS to air out a grievance. JG seems to think it went swimmingly, so here’s praying for a little more production…

This seems like a positive. Romo has always been his best spreading the ball to everyone instead of forcing it to T.O. or taking the checkdown to Barber or locking on to Witten. Also this shows some maturity from Garrett to actually be open to criticism and understand things need to change.

what took them so long

My only problem is that this stuff was somehow leaked to the media. As a team, they do not need this drama!

EXACTLY

Media has too much access.
