Crayton wishes coaches would have kept him in the loop
The National Football Post » Hot News and Rumors — From Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com : IRVING, Texas -- Patrick Crayton is willing to say what the Dallas Cowboys coaches wouldn't: He's been replaced in the starting lineup by Miles Austin. Crayton just wishes somebody would have told him that. He figured it out Monday, when Austin worked opposite Roy Williams in two-wide receiver sets.

BlitzNation — ... So it seems as though we have an unhappy Cowboy this morning, as Patrick Crayton has decided to rip the coaches a little bit. And why did he do this? Because the Cowboys’ staff failed to tell him that he was being demoted in favor of Miles Austin . Two thoughts here. One, great move by the coaching staff to insert Austin into the lineup. When you have 250 yards receiving, and two touchdowns, I don’t consider that a fluke. And two, not-so great move by the coaching staff to not tell Crayton, but let him find out when Austin has been moved into working with Roy Williams in ...

ProFootballTalk.com — ... Austin had taken his starting job. Crayton told reporters he would have appreciated it if either head coach Wade Phillips or offensive coordinator Jason Garrett had looked him in the eye and told him he was demoted, rather than Crayton just figuring it out because Austin was getting more of the first-team reps in practice. "I would have loved it," Crayton said of hearing he had been demoted directly from a coach, per Tim MacMahon of ESPNDallas.com. "It would have been real stand-up. That's not what happened . Oh, well." Phillips, however, claims that the coaches did sit ...
