If Jens assertion is true Bledsoe went to Parcells asking that we open up the playbook is true......
Lets delve into their history..... Bledsoe was a #1 overall pick and 20 year old rookie when he met Parcells. Parcells got a lot out of Drew - they made it to the Super Bowl together.
When Bill left Drew took shots at the Tuna.... "You'd like to think he'd at least say goodbye after all we've been through. But Bill is about Bill. Thats the way it is, thats who he is." As the Carrol era dawned Drew even said "Its exciting coming into a positve atmosphere" "Its not like before, you don't come in every day wondering if you are going to get beat down" He also said he wasn't disattisfied with Bill's style" but that Carrolls could work too....
Fast forward a few years per Will McDonough wrote that it started to impact Drew what an impact Parcells was on him really. Drew realized they butted heads and started to see the method to the madness and that Bill got the best out of him.
After the 1998 loss to Jets, Bledsoe sought out Parcells and congratulated Bill - their first words since leaving Pats.....
Bill called Drew back on Wednesday and told him he wanted Drew to know that he was pulling for him, that he liked him, and that he really tried to make him a better QB. Per Mcdonough they have had a tight relationship since.
Fast forward 2005 and we snap up Bledsoe the day aftter available. There were doubters but fact is Drew wanted to play for Bill and Bill wanted him here. Drew is on pace to make the Pro Bowl and a big part of the reason that we battered Eagles and are a playoff contender.
That Drew was able to talk to Bill on direction of our offense versus Arizona speaks volumes. Few players have the clout or respect to do that with Tuna. After Seattle implosion and conservative calling.
At home in a must win game with Jones out again. You can book it - We are coming out slinging on Drew Bledsoe's arm. And I am extremely confident and grinning as I type - we are going to knock the carinals head over heals back to the desert in a route.
We are going to put them away early and often.
