Said on one of the miscommunications that he basically read an uncovered man and LaFell didn't see/hear Clausen say it.

This is the type of thing he got knocked for before. Shouldn't he have someone coaching him up on interviews?

That would require a decent coach on payroll.

That's not quite the same as saying, "My receiver ran the wrong route" like he supposedly did before, but yeah.

not sure what you expect him to say.

Hopefully he also took the blame for throwing terrible balls all afternoon.

Just simply that there was miscommunication. Not that I saw this and called this and my receiver didn't do that. Something small but this was a major knock on him coming out

He needs a lesson from John Fox on how to handle the media.

Taken From The John Fox Book "How To Treat The Media"

Chapter I - What to say

"It is what it is."

"No one is coming to save us."

"He's gives us the best chance to win."

"Gantt, where the fug did you put my gum?"

your headline that he threw him under the bus made me think it was something more than "there was a miscommunication" ... which is something you hear from QBs all the time. Saying "my receiver ran the wrong route" is NOT something you hear all the time. >.>

anyway, minor details, but yes, this was one of the knocks on him.

I guess we'll see how he responds in two weeks.

It was more than it was a miscommunication. If you listen he says that he saw LaFell uncovered and called the hot read/route and LaFell didn't make the correct read and didn't hear Clausen call it out. He basically said LaFell was wrong and should have been in position to make the catch.

He should have said, "Just some miscommunication between us, we'll work it out in practice"

    • I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years. 
    • I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
