Cowboys inside linebacker Bradie James says the team can't overreact to one loss -- albeit a big one. Owner Jerry Jones has used a variety of tactics to get the players' attention, including several reminders of his financial commitment to the new stadium. He wanted to stand in the locker room and crow about a perfect evening late Sunday night, but that's not how things worked out. Here's what James had to say Monday in the locker room:
"This is where we are right now coming through the second game of the season," James said. "It's an adverse situation. It's time to bounce back and pick ourselves up because it's a marathon, not a sprint. It'll be a shame if we fall apart right now."
Wait, who's talking about falling apart. Could a loss to one of the best teams in the league cause players to "fall apart?" You'd like to think they have more substance than that, but we're about to find out.
