Interesting Bledsoe article from Star-Telegram

Talks about his season. Also talks about comments from Education of a Coach. Even mentions possibly retiring after 2007.


From Star-Telegram.com:

Technically, the book is written by David Halberstam, but the words in the book summarize the knocks on Bledsoe.
"As he got older and had been hit repeatedly, he seemed even less mobile," Halberstam writes. "Another worry was he held the ball too long, that his arm strength and the offensive sets from which he operated had taught him to look downfield hoping for the big play rather than take the quick square-in that the defense gives you."
Or, "When you look at Drew, you see a guy who's been through so many systems that it's hard to stick to the plan."
Doesn't that irritate him?
"I don't know," Bledsoe said as the knee bounced. "I've never seen the words. Yeah, well ... I don't know. I don't know. I think it says more about him than me."

It does say more about BB........that he is great at evaluating talent! How else do you explain Drew getting traded to an AFC East team?? Everything that was written in the book was dead on about Drew. No one wants to read less than flattering remarks about themselves from a former boss, but the best thing Drew could have done was listen to BB and make changes to his game!
