DALLAS (105.3 THE FAN) - Dallas Cowboys Jason Garrett and members of the team were called 'classless' by a member of the Seahawks squad after the game Sunday in which a Seattle player was injured.

Garrett joined 105.3 The Fan for his weekly radio show to recap the Cowboys 13-12 loss to the Seattle Seahawks Sunday night and was asked about the criticism he received from Seattle DE Michael Bennett (formerly of Texas A&M, brother of former Dallas Cowboys player Martellus Bennett).

Bennett was critical of coach Garrett for not going on the field to check on Seahawks WR Ricardo Lockette after he was knocked unconscious during a play by Cowboys FS Jeff Heath.

"We all have a tremendous concern anytime a player goes down." said Garrett. "Anybody that has been around this league knows how hard everyone plays - and that is part of the game."

"I don't think it's my place as the opposing head coach to go out and see a player on another team," said Garrett. "Obviously we have concern for him, but that's Pete Carroll, and the coaches and staff on their team's role to do that. "
