I can't tell either. It doesn't appear he says dumb mother fucker but I'm not even going to pretend I have a guess at what he said. As long as it was something that was highly insulting to Dez than I'm good with it.

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Jim Schwartz just couldn't help himself.
"Indulge me for a second," the Detroit Lions coach said as he arrived at the podium for a postgame news conference, a smile spreading across his face. "I'm just glad the third-best receiver on their team is on our team."
That receiver in question is Calvin Johnson, whom Dallas defensive coordinator Rob Ryan allowed was "almost" as good as Cowboys starters Miles Austin and Dez Bryant. After another record-setting, game-breaking performance helped the Lions earn another breathtaking comeback victory Sunday at Cowboys Stadium, Johnson and his teammates seemed ready to demand a recount.
The 6-foot-5 Johnson was gigantic in the fourth quarter of the Lions' 34-30 triumph, catching five passes for 58 yards and two touchdowns -- including the winner with 1:39 left. With his two scores, he joined Cris Carter as the only players in NFL history to catch two or more touchdown passes in four consecutive games, and he became the first Lions receiver with a four-game touchdown-catch streak in a single season since Herman Moore in 1998.
He also owns the NFL record for consecutive two-touchdown reception games to start a season, which he set in last week's victory against Minnesota.
Johnson went over, around and through double -- and sometimes triple -- coverage throughout the second half, finishing the game with eight catches for 96 yards. Bryant, incidentally, had three catches for 37 yards and two touchdowns and Austin was injured and didn't play.
"(Ryan) had a lot of respect for him for thinking he's not that great a receiver," Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford said. "He covered him with a couple guys all day."
In fact, there were three Cowboys around Johnson on his first touchdown catch, one of whom -- safety Barry Church -- was hanging from his arm as the ball arrived. Johnson shrugged him off and outleaped everyone to bring Detroit within a touchdown at 30-24 with 13:37 left in the game.
The play, Stafford said, was designed to take advantage of the coverage, though "obviously, they didn't move to where we thought they were going to move."
That didn't matter. Before the snap Johnson caught Stafford's attention and let him know he wanted the ball high, whatever the defense looked like.
"Calvin just kind of looked at me and gave me a little (pointing up) and told me to throw it up," Stafford said. "That's a good enough sign for me. He had good position on them so I threw a ball up there and he went and got it."
The winning score wasn't as difficult. On first and goal from the Dallas 2, the Cowboys had 10 men near the line of scrimmage and only one in coverage against Johnson.
The call was simple, as was the throw. Johnson easily beat Terence Newman in the right corner of the end zone.
"If we get single coverage down there, it's automatic it's coming at me," Johnson said. "I was surprised [at the coverage]. I knew it was coming to me from the get-go."
"I'm throwing it to him every time, four downs in a row, I don't care, if they give him that coverage," Stafford said. "I believe in him that much, and I think he knows I can put it there."

I think thats funny. Basically he said "If Calvin thinks he can get it, fuck it ...I'm game." Calvin is a monster...I would trade every Wr and runningback on the roster to get him.

I love our coach and I love most of our players. We now have a swagger to us I have never seen before. Stafford believes in his ability he isnt afraid to throw it in places he shouldnt. Calvin believes he is better than anyone covering him. The Schwartz has had a confidence about him since he came in. On defense with Suh and Delmas.
