Where's this "controversial" Parcells interview I heard about?

Counter-Tre · 10-31-2006, 12:18 AM

I was listening to "Redskins Lunch" today on Redskins.com and the boys referred to a "controversial" Parcells interview from the New York Times where he bashed the Skins. I didn't see it in the news section. Anyone know what Parcells said that was so horrible??

The thread about Jansen has the link to the NYT article in it (sorry but I'm too lazy to post a link to the thread).

He didn't bash the Skins...some Skins fans will have you believe Parcells likes to have children for breakfast and glass of orange juice to wash them down.

Interesting read. Saunders took some criticism for what Parcells believes to be a lack of interest in controlling the clock and time of possession thereby making the D suffer by stranding them on the field but that's about it. Many of his other observations are pretty straight forward - i.e our corners are weak, we don't run up the middle etcetera. I don't know if Saunders is as non-chalant about his play calling as Parcells would make it seem but the end result is the same.

good read. just seems like a normal week in the NFL. the cowboys trying to find the skins weaknesses so they can exploit them.

It was a great read. I think Parcells was being tricky when he said that they would single cover Moss when they were in man. What he didn't say was that he almost never plays man. He is Mr. Cover 2. Even when they bring Williams up close to the line they usually have their nickel guy drop off. I wonder why he thought he needed to play that game with the Times. Probably because he knew the writer would ask Newman about it and Newman would either be scared to death or take it as a huge compliment. Ive never seen Moss in single coverage when we play them. All three of the big downfield catches from last year (2 in Dallas, one at Fedex down at the 1 yard line) were made against safety help albeit late arriving.
