Some of it I like. Some of it I don't.

This I don't mind much, because Ryan O'Halloran loves to sling snarky jabs at the Jags a bit too often and they are often unwarranted. (with all the actual things to whine about -- I don't want to read the beat writer taking shots at the team unnecessarily)

With that in mind - it's likely that O'Halloran was hoping to get info on Fowler from coach Hobby and Coughlin is probably trying to keep that narrative in check since Fowler missed a practice this week. He's likely trying to avoid a drama distraction.

Like most journalists, he's just trying to set himself up for a bigger, better gig down the road. Then he'll starting taking jabs at Jacksonville in general as being a redneck town when he's in a larger media market. I worked in newspapers and understand these narcissistic personality types. They don't have a lot to be happy about in life so they act out like adolescents through social media.
