"Talk him off the ledge" was the phrase he used when talking about how pissed Wade Phillips was following the 3rd preseason game when he stated the starters would play a good bit in the last preseason game. He pointed out his assistants talked sense into him and he realized he was pissed when he made the statement and backed off. Yea, he basically called Sparano a moron.
There was nothing to gain by doing that. The reward is you can potentially let your starters experience some success. However if they do...........its still against another teams backups.
The RISK in playing the starters in that circumstance is two things .........1) A huge injury(check) and 2) They continue to play poorly and do so against another teams backups(check). Thanks Tony. Good thinking you ****ing boob.
:clapping: Way to go... get everyone riled up.. Injuries can happen anytime any place
