This kid needs to get healthy and stay healthy or he will be on the hot seat before he is even on the playing field. He is still a rookie in my book and he needs to prove he can get healthy. How long ago did he hurt his foot? 8 months ago?

Yes an entire team huddled with the express intention of denying Victor Cruz touches so he could be cut easier. What a completely deluded fuckstick Victor has become.

If he's taking shots at Beckham, he is at Vernon too.

He's not.

All HCs want all their players to show for OTAs, especially under this CBA. Just because some fans think they're meaningless doesn't mean they do. There's no point in them saying anything else.

I took his comment about fresh air as a comparison to Cruz. Not too good if he's comparing to OBJ. I wish someone would have asked him what he meant by that.

A breath of fresh air is an idiom that invites comparison. It's about something new and good (Marshall), but also implies the absence of the stale or bad (???).
It also implies the coach is trying to invite more media attention

to the team as people try to parse the words and find the meaning.


Which I've never seen a coach try to do before, so it would be very strange if it were the case.
