Late For Work 8/27: Teammate Says Joe Flacco Chasing 'Perfection'

Teammate Says Flacco Chasing ‘Perfection’

He’s still Joe Cool, but teammate Steve Smith Sr. sees something different about franchise quarterback Joe Flacco this year.

An example came after Saturday’s Eagles contest when Flacco was rather harsh on himself for throwing two interceptions. The second one particularly bugged Flacco. He called it a “terrible” throw.

"He's hard on himself this year," Smith told ESPN’s Ashley Fox. "It's like he's seeking perfection.

“It's kind of, he's not saying he's seeking perfection, but you see it. Any small throw that he feels like is off, he's on himself.
