She actually did, She said she reached out to some of the players and there was a bit of a sense of relief and optimism that they would bring someone to capitalize on some of the strengths.....strengths a lot of them have told me, haven't exactly been utilized. She's not misreading the room, she's reporting on what players have expressed to her.
Still rather vague, but I admit I missed her last couple of sentences originally.
She's usually pretty PC and doesn't come out name players or sensationalize for clicks as some reporters do. If she said what some of them might have actually said, it would probably put them in a more awkward spot and less willing to confide in her in the future. She's been pretty accurate in her past reporting, she just softens the delivery more than many other reporters do. The "vagueness" is a way to protect the players that she talks with.
Uhh...is this 2015 or 2017?
I can respect that, but I'd prefer a little more specificity. Not necessarily giving names, but something to tell me someone actually said something worth repeating.
I get that and think we would all like to hear more unfiltered thoughts and words from behind closed doors. I think she has to play nicer since she's on the NFL Networks payroll and is just a reporter. I don't think any player wants what they actually think or say out in public, some may say it on their way out the door, but most just give the PC speech.
Excellent point. I hope Sean Payton is the replacement for Linehan and Garrett. Both were clueless, unimaginative, and stubborn. Payton can do both jobs.
