ST. LOUIS (105.3 THE FAN) — Orlando Scandrick was “thankful” and “relieved” when his four-game suspension was cut short by a revised drug policy. But after his return game, the tone had changed.

Scandrick recorded five tackles against St. Louis while splitting time in the base package with cornerback Mo Claiborne.

Scandrick was asked after the game about his edgy attitude on the field, as Dallas tries to avoid being labeled “the 32nd-worst D in the NFL.’

“I was pissed man. I was pissed,” said Scandrick to 105.3 The Fan’s Mike Fisher following the Cowboys 34-31 road win. “I felt like, when I came back, I was prepared to play every down. I felt like I did everything in my power to play every single down.”
