Mary Kay is having a bad week. She thinks Gregg Williams was upset when Myles Garrett bashed the blatently obvious bad calls against the Browns.
Gregg never said a word about what Garrett said. He just said that on that play (and others he's seen), he's angry that defensive players, when they see an offensive lineman stand upa full second before the snap, relax and wait for the expected flag, rather than do their jobs.
Gregg apparently feels that this "oh cool he jumped -sigh-" reaction to the blatently obvious false start vs San Diego actually opened the door for that touchdown.
Passrushers didn't attack. Coverage guys didn't jam and cover. Everybody bided their time, waiting for that flag.
Williams never said anything about Myles Garrett pointing out the obvious. At most, he might have been bashing Garrett for being one of those defensive players who "let up" and waited for the flag/whistle.
Hue Jackson is a different story. HE wants Garrett and everybody else to shut up and just take it.
No doubt, Hue feels threatened by Garrett, since it's his job to speak up for his team...
...........
Both coaches were obnoxiously PC, talking about how tough it is for officials and they do their best blahblah. They have to spew that bullcrap OR ELSE, but at least Williams was brief, and stressed (again) that the players still need to play.
Hue...I'm sick of him.
Anyway, Myles Garrett will not and should not shut up. His outbursts are measured, calm, objective, and intelligent. He is a "leader".
Hue wants him to shut up. Gregg Williams doesn't.
This is the second article in a row in which Mary Kay utterly misinterpreted the very quotes she cited.
Sticking to the PC crap, Baker Mayfield is semi-defending Todd Haley in public, and I get that:
There's nothing wrong with Todd Haley's system. Baker, being Baker, expects to adapt and overcome, and knows that in order to become an elite NFL Quarterback, he has to kick ass from the pocket.
Baker Mayfield doesn't ask for or expect special treatment.
And he is correct: The players need to stop screwing up.
The talent is here to execute Haley's offense, but they're still screwing up. Mayfield himself has screwed up, and knows it.
Mayfield is smart to say this stuff in public.
But behind closed doors, I'm telling you that he is asking for Duke, Ratley, read-option, run/pass options, etc.
By the way: Baker's backing Haley after Hue talked about "getting more involved" with the offense was a calculated move.
I haven't tried to figure it out yet, but can tell you for now that Todd Haley owes him, and Hue is in deep shit.
