Mini Camp Pressers

Much better interview for JJ this week, good to see, more upbeat, more positive and diplomatic.

"I think the entire group of rookies, I think they're all doing a great job of taking in the information. We throw a lot at them. They'll tell you. We're throwing a lot of information at them, seeing what sticks." - Brian Flores on Jake Golday and the rest of this year's rookies pic.twitter.com/I3Dr1nfH6S

"Love to have him back, I've told him that many times already. But at the same time, we've got a good group. They're working hard and doing a lot of good things." - Brian Flores on @HarriSmith22 pic.twitter.com/CvCE2U4tI8

His journey, his story, what he's done. It's incredible. And there's still more that can be done.@jalen_redmond pic.twitter.com/jhmYAFSepY

Agreed. JJ seemed much more upbeat and diplomatic this week.

What stood out to me was the difference in the questioning. I don't recall Murray being asked much about the competition at all, while McCarthy seemed to get multiple questions about it. It's almost as if one guy is being asked to simply play quarterback, while the other is being asked to explain the entire situation surrounding him.

clicks/views/rage bait/spin.....tried to bait him into another quote for the online fanboys.

So in a funny moment, Kyler called Jauan Jennings a 'dirtbag', actually meaning he's a tough minded dude, etc. but if JJ had said it, you'd see 'McCarthy calls new teammate a dirtbag'.....guaranteed. We'll have to see if Alec Lewis was watching the QBs working out together today or not, lmao.....Mr. Context.

Kyler cussed, almost said he and McCown were "off the reservation" (or something like that), and called Jennings a "dirtbag" (like you said). He was much less refined on his wording this time around for sure.
