They call it coach speak, because that's how coaches talk - in general. He's not alone. They all do it at all levels. Speaking to the media is an obligation, but they are not obliged to give specific or even truthful answers. You get mixed messages and 'spinned' (spun) messages from coaches and GMs all the time. Ron's no different.

At the DFW airport and I have my Redskins shirt on (unplanned). Went to get a beer and the bartender says Redskin, what do you want? Lol.

You at the Dallas Cowboys themed bar? If so, that's pretty awesome. But I'd get something in a bottle and not on tap if you want to avoid a little extra something.

Nah, it was just a normal bar right next to my gate. That airport is huge. It's like a city in itself.

So does this make Edge Rusher a higher priority in the draft?
