Tell The Truth Monday's: Ab Should Cut Back Media Access


Recommended Posts

Everyone hates the repeat at the press conferences. However, it's the result of politics. Quinn is not his press conference and we're never going to hear anything substantive. At today's presser, you could see certain questions getting under his skin and he had to pause long to think of a politically correct response. A deaf person would get more out of watching the presser than a blind person listening.

Also, has anyone noticed that teams with grandios marketing of coaches and players struggle badly? Dallas is a huge example. They opened the tunnels, brought the fans closer, added the big screen and struggle every year no matter the talent or the coach. It becomes a distraction, especially when the team sucks. Let it go AB, It adds pressure that chips away at coach and player game focus.

That's why I can appreciate Bill Belichick's conferences. He doesn't care and doesn't worry about marketing and being media accessible because he knows winning will take care of notoriety. If anything he leaves it primarily to the players. But AB is too corporate and involved to let the coaches do that. According to an article, Bob Kraft talked about not sticking your nose too much in the coaches way of handling football. AB should've listened.

Shutdown tell the truth Monday's, cancel the radio show, stick with post game conferences... push the heavy marketing to the offseason when every one misses football and let the game do the talking during the season. The NFL doesn't mirror corporate america: winning and Super Bowls sell tickets, not marketing.

I disagree. Ever heard the phrase "It's not what you are saying, it's how you are saying it".

DQ is stopping short of saying he doesn't have all the pieces in place yet. He's also frustrated and I can tell you from his answers and the way they were delivered that they have gone over and over and over things that keep showing up and some players just can't get it done.

Just watch, there will be at least 15 players that won't be on this roster next season...

I hope so. Who do you think will be gone?

The phrase is familiar and I understand what DQ is doing: That's why so many players were brought in on 1 year contracts.

But carving out more coach time during the season and week of prep makes no sense and adds no value when the coaches are saying the same thing and the media is asking the same questions from the post game.

Just my reaction from watching today's presser and observing how the franchise gets marketed.
