We’re just a few days away from the Dallas Cowboys taking on the Jacksonville Jaguars in London and wide receiver Dez Bryant seems rather excited about the prospect.
The Cowboys wideout doesn’t really know why he’s so amped up over the upcoming contest though suggested he has a little something extra in the tank.
“I don’t know if it’s London or the air, I’m flying,” Bryant said. “Everybody else is flying around, too. I got a little bit of extra juice.”
You know how tea and crumpets can hype you up.
In all seriousness, Dez Bryant is difficult enough to matchup with when he’s just his normal self but if he’s feeling a bit extra spry this weekend, that’s bad news for the Jacksonville Jaguars who already are dealing with a depleted secondary.
As for Bryant, he’s struggled during the past two weeks as he’s only been able to bring in five combined catches in the contests, though two of those went for touchdowns. It’s a stark contrast from what he did earlier in the year when Bryant was hauling in plus 100-yard tilts.
Part of that could be the lack of quarterback Tony Romo who has been ailing with a back injury, who Bryant admits helps him when he’s on the field.
“It always helps whenever Tony is out there,” Bryant said. “He’s our guy. He’s our leader. Whenever he’s out there it makes everybody feel that much more comfortable and he knows how to lead us in the right direction, and that’s what he’s going to do Sunday.”
Dez and his Dallas Cowboys will attempt to improve to 7-3 this weekend.
