AFC East Coach Blasts Ryan: Could It Be BB?

[PatsFanInVa]

You guys are analyzing the semantics of this waaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy to much.

There is no difference between a coach of the Bills, with the Bills, from the Bills, or whatever.

"Hi, I'm with the Bills."

"Oh, are you a player?"

"No, I'm a coach."

"You're a coach of the Bills?"

"Yep, sure am."

Incorrect. The above conversation has no sportswriter or editor in it.

"So was he the head coach of the bills?"
"No, that's why I said 'a member of the Bills' coaching staff."
"But that makes him a coach of the Bills? Right?"
"Okay two things..."
"No TWO THINGS!!! ONE THING!!! EYES ON PAGES!!!"
"Okay I can't say his team, PROMISED!"
"Does this guy even exist?"
"Yeah he exists he gets the guys towels every WEEK!"
"Doens't matter right, no name, can't name the team..."
"He DOES..."
"Who CARES!!!! How about "a coach of another AFCE team..." "
"But that makes it sound like..."
"EYES ON PAGES TARDO! EYES ON PAGES!"

Now then, the editor can be external early on, but is much more likely to reside in the writer's own head when he's faced this conundrum repeatedly.

My understanding is the first time is the hardest one.

Ryan will probably say it was BB because he can spell it.

 

[Jackson 2]

you know who talks about "pelts" dont you? Parcells.

remember when he said that Drew had a "pelt" after he won the AFC Championship in 95

-- FRITZ

You're right. He uses that expression often, and I've never heard anyone else, coach or otherwise, use it. That doesn't mean someone else hasn't used it, but Parcells is the only one I've heard.

 

[JoeSixPat]

I'm pretty sure it is Belichick.

Yeah - that's just like Belichick. Always referring to himself in the third person.

:rolleyes2:

"Whatever you want to say about Bill, he has the pelts," one coach in the division said. "(Ryan) has nothing."

This definately isnt BB, BB is the type of coach that is gona make u eat ur words on the field and then still not say anything just not shake ur hand at the end of the game.. i dont think its any pats assistants either cuz most of them dont really talk, i dont think belichick lets them talk! haha

when's he due ? looks to be in his third trimester.

Bingo, I think we have a winner here. That's the first coach that came to me also. I just think that is so Parcells like.

 

[Patjew]

"Crowder? I thought you said 'chowder!'"

He makes Parcells look... slightly less revolting.

 

[ScottieC]

Lots of coaches aren't head coaches. I don't see anything in this article that makes me think there are only 3 people to choose from.

Bingo, we have Bingo.

 

[ScottieC]

"Crowder? I thought you said 'chowder!'"

Wow, that is one FAT dude.

 

[Clonamery]

Wow, that is one FAT dude.

The internet adds 3 pounds.

 

[Raymond]

The internet adds 3 pounds.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Take the 3 pounds off and he's fit and trim.

Great pickup. And note that the article describes the sources as "a coach of another AFC East Squad." It also doesn't say "team," but "squad," which could apply to the Offense or Defense or any of the multiple other units ("squads") on a "team" that have their own "coach." Also, it doesn't say "the" coach but "a" coach. "The coach" would unambiguously point to the HC. "A coach" is, to my reading, ambiguous.

Yeah, it could refer to anyone on the coaching staff. Almost certainly is a coordinator or a position coach.

 

[feldspar]

Ryan should take a lesson from whoever said these things...say them anonymously.

 

[Pessimistic Pete]

BB never talks like that.

The choice of words and terminology points to the Tuna.

interesting. anything specific you can point out? phrases he's used in the past?

(BTW, for those who will say we're getting carried away with this exegesis, this is all just good fun during the silly season between mini camp and training camp when even Yoda is away from the game and on Nantucket.)
