Is this a joke? What else is Malcolm (who had to look for a new team) supposed to say?
That quote came after MB inked his deal. Read the link I re:'d you.
The great BB screwed me (and all my teammates and our loyal fans)? BB knew Malcolm was (way more than) a smidge prepared and DIDN'T play him, when his D was getting more torched than if it had been at an arsonists' convention. That is the whole point of everybody's ire.
I get that people are pissed, sad and upset. What I have a problem with is immediately jumping to the conclusion its all on BB when it isn't. Did his gameplan suck? All signs point to that and I have no problem with that criticism of the man. What I do have a problem with is if the same people who bash him, say the gameplan sucked are the same ones who are mad at not playing MB even though he admitted he wasn't ready is flawed.
It's weak to act like Malcolm is some idiot off the street who hadn't played corner back in the NFL for 4 years, and in the 18 straight games beforehand for BB and therefore had no clue what was going on, so of course BB sat him for the whole game (rather than the 1st half, or even the first 3 quarters) while Rome burned. Perhaps your confusion stems from the difficulty of accepting that our great coach really blundered for no good reason in the biggest game of the year. Gronk and Brady seemed pissed. Why is it baffling that a lot of fans are too?
Nope. No confusion. Malcolm admitted he wasn't ready. I attribute it to health and behind in preparations.
