I don’t know….it wasn’t that bad of a question.    Was it a read option or a QB run.  And I also get Sam not answering it.    But him not answering it likely was answering it IMO. 

Yeah I’m not sure what the problem is. I had the same question. I understand Sam declining to answer but is that really “owning” him?

That guy is horrible….believe me, there are turds like him back home (Scott Wolf, Petros Papadakis) Sam had to deal with, on a constant basis, size of the media market has nothing to do with it.  Fortunately, the school prepares the players very well - because they have to,  to not get tricked into answering questions that could put them in a bad light.  Sam gave credit to his parents and USC on how to handle and deflect media questions they don’t want to answer.

Newton no doubt is horrible.  I just don’t get what he did here? 

so he asked if it was a read or just a straight QB keeper.  Pretty common to ask players after the fact about specific plays and what was going on.

    • While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
