Are press conferences the only source of injury information? If the head coach alludes to an injury in a presser is there is no alternative path for the media to get an answer? I don't think Zimmer is unique in the way that he handles talking about injuries - the way our media either takes his word at face value or refuses to play the game is unique and it's annoying.

Says every New England fan. Most teams do this and the NFL lets them. Why give the opponent information they don't have a right to just to keep fans happy?

And if they told the fans everthing today, would they keep clicking tomorrow?

I'm not faulting Zimmer or the team on how they relay that information, in limited settings, to the media. Don't conflate local media's non-existent effort to get to the bottom of what comes out of a press conference with the team's right to be as vague as possible regarding injuries. They are two different things. 

Bellicheck is asked if Julian Edelman will be available for the Wild Card game. Bill says some vauge ass "everyone is hurting this time of year" comment to blow it off. WEEI Boston get's Julian on the air A.S.A.P and asks him point blank if he's going to play. The answer is irrelevant; I just want that effort. Get to the bottom of this shit - even if it's just a bottomless pit with no definitive answer, jump in. It's the fucking playoffs.

Dalvin Cook just recently sat down and talked about his own injury. He says he's feeling fully healthy. In the spirit of this thread; that interview was conducted by Courtney Cronin of ESPN! What the **** do the sports reporters at the Strib even do?

Exactly! It's strategy...nothing wrong with keeping the opponent guessing as long as possible.

Great to see both Cook and Mattison at FULL participation both days, Cook is key, but Mattison is huge to have back as well.
