Conversation with a source

I had a very lengthy conversation with a player of ours from the DC/Baltimore area. Things we discussed:

He said it was very difficult to sit on the sidelines during the year, he was very upset at the coaches because he knew he was better. Exact words “give me 3 seconds and he won’t get a straight pass”. He said the natty was awful just watching sub par edge rushers.

Said he almost left but he will play a lot this year and knows he is a starter.

I asked how the team felt in general, he said it’s not mad it’s just edgy. He said they have had some heated talks and scraps but not in a dividing way just frustration. I told him the secondary killed us the in the game he said don’t worry we are good to go this year. He also mentioned a lot of the leaders had NFL blinders on and caused issues, he said the guys who were more quiet last year are much more vocal this year. Almost like they were waiting for them to leave. Williams was one them.

Finally I said “you realize it’s us and Clemson again right” he said “ no I don’t think so, he said they have a monumental amount of internal problems right now, large fights, locker room divided type stuff”

Anyway I wanted to share. I talk to this player from the NE often and he is filled with insight. He is the type I can ask questions from the group and he will answer.
