If he were truly concerned about Royal's play, he should have said nothing at all to the press and certainly not praised him as he did. Based on what Gibbs did choose to say, I can only conclude that he likes Royal and likes what he's seen from him. Just can't understand what he's seeing that the rest of us can't. Or is Royal another one of those players who demonstrates something to the coaches that the rest of us mere mortals just can't see?
All I know is what counts is production on the field and, in that arena, I see Royal as a big zero.

Maybe he's trying to give Royal's confidence a boost since Royal probably feels pretty terrible about his performance.
