Quote 'em Thursdays

"I think we had a good bye week," Edwards said Wednesday. "I think guys are healthy, and I think changes are being made. I feel the coaches are noticing those changes, I feel like the players are noticing the changes, and that is going to build a lot of confidence. That confidence can change the guys' attitude and allow the offense to break out."

I swear this dude is Dick Jauron with a quarterback helmet on.

"I think we have the receivers who can go and make plays on the ball," Van Pelt said. "If we get a situation where it's one on one, we don't have to be wide open. We can give those guys a chance to go up and make plays. That's one thing we've talked about."

Hasn't everyone been talking about this since August? Hasn't everyone been saying this after each game since week 3? I don't get it. Is it really that complicated, just throwing the ball up and allowing the play making receivers to make a play?

Said Jauron: "He practiced on Monday and it wasn't bothering him. He said it didn't bother him at all. He came in after practice, he got his normal treatment that he gets. Then on Tuesday, late in the afternoon yesterday, all of a sudden it really started to bother him. So he came in immediately, got treatment for it, came back this morning and was in meetings but it was very uncomfortable for him. So right now it's pretty uncomfortable. We're kind of hoping it goes away as quickly as it came. That's our hope. We really won't know any more until we see how he feels tomorrow."

Does Jauron have any say or power over Owens? There is no way Jauron would ever confront this dude, bench him, or take playing time away. Maybe he does actually have a fuckin clue as to what is going on but just doesn't wanna tell us, that seems remote though.
