Quote:I didn't hear the quote, so I don't know if PFT is reporting on it accurately, but assuming they are, Bradley singled out three receivers; Lee, Robinson, and Hurns. Interestingly, Mike Brown, who proceeded to drop every pass thrown to him last Sunday, was not mentioned by Bradley (again, assuming PFT isn't misrepresenting Gus' words).

 

I think that the lack of Brown in Gus' comments is telling, because Brown is a converted QB. Sullivan's main job with him should be, and most likely is, to make sure he catches the ball. Brown struggled last Sunday and has been, generally, inconsistent this year (pre-season through today) with catching the ball. Yet, he was specifically omitted from Gus' criticism. 

 

I think that indicates that Gus isn't as upset with the coaching as he is with the three rookies. If Gus' comments were directed towards the coach, I imagine he wouldn't have named every active WR, but the one who seems to be visibly struggling with picking up the coach's teachings. This idea makes sense in my head, but I'm not sure I'm conveying it appropriately... Do you understand where I'm going with this?

 

Also, as one last disclaimer, this whole post is predicated on the idea that PFT isn't misrepresenting Gus' words, and Gus really did single out Lee, Robinson, and Hurns, while omitting Brown.
