Dez Bryant tweeted Ray Lewis directly, here's his impassioned response | UNDISPUTED

does Ryan Harbor a Lewis said about says knodell earlier in the show Ray said they were about themselves des responded at Ray Lewis why do you think we have so much love for the game we grew up watching guys like you we want what you have we're joined once again by Ray Lewis ray what's your reaction to Dez's tweet yeah sarva I've been I've talked to DES a few times good good good kid talk to O'Dell been you know talking Hotel since over there came in the league and I think you know what what I'm excited about what this tweet is I'm excited about he's listening right it's not a bad tweet oh you did you know no it's is he understands I don't want nothing but the best for this as well as Shannon all we want is for their talents to not be undermined by everything else right because either your distraction or you an asset and great ones figure out how to become an asset how to not ever think about whether you miss means or not in my 17-year career I've never missed one meeting I was never late for one me and a 17-year career there's certain things when you watch the body of work of good versus great because good is fitting in great is fitting out and what I want des and Odell to do is be great stand alone inspire people do your efforts and and and and yeah maybe you go through things at times and maybe life those curves while that's football is tough football is a tough sport and the ups and downs of football can really get to you sometimes and they can bring out other things and bad things but when you have the respect of yourself first then the respect of your brothers I wouldn't do certain things because I couldn't look at him as a man and say bro I'm just doing me right so I respond that way from dance texanne I'm glad you listenin bro because I don't we don't do this to down on you we do this to encourage you to be great to do to chase everything you want to do you said he said something his last lines worth you grew up watching guys like me you want what I have what I have I gave up the selfish side of it I gave up the pointer thing at me now when I stepped on the field that's a whole other animal but my investment was that my teammates my investment was in my city my investment was that every time we stepped off the plane you carry yourself a certain way my investment was when I got an amines and the coach didn't have to see it don't be behind me beat me in the means yes 17 years when I'm going when I get to year 15 16 17 you start to see these young kids start coming in and he's like what's the difference of you and me why you think I've been around so long right because greatness has a way of separating itself and my thing today is in my thing to to order right now chase greatness and greatness has taken all of the small things and making them work and get out of everybody else bother let everybody else all the way to and I promise you I'm gonna talk to this and I might although there because if there's one thing that I do for people that that need anything in any type of little bit of just getting back in line it's the only thing that's that's why I do it skip because I want them to know nothing bro don't let let the outside speak but I want you to understand the the platform you have and what you can do with it it will it will dictate the way you live when you get on this side of life and that's why I live the way I live now because of what I did while I was in the game how I carry myself I was in the game so you know DB Obie Odell you know my message is simple I will call over them because I don't want this to be a story I don't need this to be a continuing story no I want them Mukesh frickin touchdowns and I'm gonna see there's Brian celebrate and I'm gonna see him have fun I want to see oh they'll love the game you don't lose energy about this game cuz this game is about a one-on-one competition and most of times the one-on-one is really with yourself ain't nobody else it's you brother it's you challenging yourself it's not about wins and losses at the end of the day you'll learn that very quickly you go through the league along enough it's not about wins and losses it's about somebody's always watching you that's my that's my response to this if you're watching me and you watched me closely certain things I'm not gonna do skip not to hurt my team yeah I always tell people and I told you this a very long time ago everybody wants to go to heaven nobody wants to die see he wants to be great but showing up on time not missing meetings all the little things see to be great you must do what others can't won't or both see dad's talk about being great but see talking about it doesn't make you great his teammate see you missing meeting see when when when when the reporter asked him about these missed meetings he said well who said it tell him to put their name he does that and do it you choose milsim are you do that they said I missed one and I owned up to it which was I'm not street he also said I'm not the same guy was your hell mmm-hmm no you that's the thing but now see the great players until my the truly truly great players they love everything about the game and they realize that meetings and treatment times are important parts and aspects of the game hmm see you can't be great just by showing up on Sundays it's the little things Monday through that shows greatness on the field on Sunday see everybody just sees Michael Jordan hit that game-winning shot but what did he go through to get to that point yeah but but I do believe this now I do believe this I do believe that there's is a totally different player man then he was a few years I agree I totally believe that right and and and what's making your point so so valid Pro is that 17 years skip I'm sending the meeting I never forget it this is the des Inouye I'm sitting to me in 17 years I've been playing 17 years I haven't seen everything and the defensive coach broad brings up a defense that I learned my rookie year and I wrote down every aspect of it and this young kid was sitting next to me and he asked me you you right now everything he say and you've been playing this long I said it's the smallest thing but it's the biggest thing because I appreciated the moment of having opportunity and I think where where there's what DB is right now is if he ever appreciates that one day the gang will end but one day it will stop right and that's why I think once he grabs that and and and and because I want him to be des I want him to go be this bright and so I'm with him I want him to be great yeah and I just wish as a Dez Bryant fan I could pour 2 ounces of what just spilled out a Ray Lewis into Dez Bryant because that tweet to you to me was a cry for guidance he his heart is in the right place it always was he wants to learn how to do the right thing how to win games in the National Football League but his owner is incapable of teaching DES how to because the owner only knows how to coddle him and spoil him and stunt his growth he has nobody around to say no yes no yes except this man and I hope you can reach him literally and figuratively and get through to him because all he needs to know is that 17 years of Ray Lewis zero even late for meetings zero late for meetings it's not that hard be on time for the meeting and if you're on time for the meeting your teammates are gonna say oh he's invested in us now we got something going here because he's the best player on our team oh okay is Jerry's fault cuz remember his rookie year when he would show up late guess what Jerry did how about how your security guard to get you hero time instead of ed needs to be on time I had
