Tony Romo: Dez Bryant has a "great attitude"

Tony Romo has described Dez Bryant as a "positive guy" with a "great attitude" following the wide receiver's sideline rant last weekend.

The 24-year-old was seen shouting at the quarterback and tight end Jason Witten during the team's 31-30 defeat to the Detroit Lions last Sunday.

Speaking after yesterday's practice, Romo said: "He's a positive guy who loves his teammates. What else do you want? He's passionate and he comes to work every day with a great attitude. I'd like a lot of teammates like that.

"I'm like, everyone's going to go run with it because of the demonstrative hand movements, but it's just not who Dez is.

"I said that after the game and kind of what happened was obvious what was going to happen, people were going to take it and run with it. Even though it's wrong."

Bryant had just three receptions during the game, picking up 72 yards and two touchdowns.
