Dez Bryant does not care about Josh Norman’s recent comments
Josh Norman went after his NFC East rivals in a recent interview. Dez Bryant recently responded to the comments.
Josh Norman has a way of getting under people’s skins. The Washington Redskins cornerback always seems to be jawing with a player on or off the field, and that certainly continued during the 2016 season. Norman got into a war of words with Dez Bryant after their second meeting of the year. This sparked talks of a rivalry between the two, though at the time neither really bought into it.

Then, this past week, Norman criticized Bryant and called him “just a guy.” Norman went on to say more about Bryant and Odell Beckham Jr., but the former does not appear to be interested in a war of words. According to a recent story from ESPN, Bryant said the following when asked about Norman’s comments.

"Asked if Norman’s comments to Bleacher Report last week bothered him, Bryant said: “Hell no.”“No, no, no, no. Why would I respond to that? He’ll see me when he sees me. When I line up against him, we’re going to go at it. That’s what it is,” Bryant said.“I don’t have no words to say to him. … There’s no extra motivation. All I care about is me. All I care about is that first game, that second game, that third game, that fourth game, all the way up to the last game, all the way up to the playoffs.”"
This is probably a good move for Bryant. If he paid any attention to Norman’s words, that would give the instigator a chance to relish the fact that he had gotten under his rival’s skin. Instead, the issue is now gone. Bryant now just has to prove himself on the football field.

All that Norman’s comments have done is set up a couple of potentially great battles on the football field. There’s no doubt that the next matchup between these two will have extra meaning. Their first meeting will be in Week 8 of the 2017 NFL season. It should certainly be a good one.
