I enjoy everybody involved for the most part, but sometimes I wonder if they all just talk over the heads of their listeners way too much. So often it seems like they know what the other person is referring to, but never bother to explain to those of us listening. For example, this is word for word from this segment, I have no idea wtf they're even trying to say.
Sam: I listened to your comments about Thompson yesterday and Casey Thompson is Casey Thompson. I think there is thought behind what he says, but I think he is just very much him. And I don't know that I would take it personally. He's just kinda inside his own head. And he's a good quarterback that's what matters!
Damon: And I think that's why we absolve him of responsibility because he is a good quarterback. And I'm not chastising him because I think he did wrong, I use that as an example to remind us how cognizant we need to be of operating in silos when stuff hits the fan. If you operate in a silo when stuff hits the fan, you get a different vantage point than if you're interconnected. So it's a caveat to look at, not an indictment on who he is as a person.
Sam: I agree. That's very true. I think Casey is - he's an interesting one, because I think Coach Joseph could go to him and say 'listen now, this this and this,' and I think it could all be true, but I just think Thompson is a specific kind of person, and probably doesn't mean it sometimes the way that it comes out. Like as that press conference went on, I mean he eventually said well "we can always do more" and I think it just takes Casey time to be able to unfurl the entire scroll, just like, we didn't expect him to say the thing about Texas at the one press conference, it just came out of the blue. He's just kind of a specific kind of guy. And the thing that's really good about Casey is that he played one heck of a football game against Georgia Southern.
