The Muscle Man Has Won Over the Head Man
Head coach Matt LaFleur has been surly lately about the team’s training camp performance. He is upset about a lack of urgency, a shortage of focus, and general sloppiness. The abrupt release of Jason Spriggs was probably one manifestation of the coach’s petulance. A few remaining marginal players, and particularly holdovers from past Ted Thompson drafts like Spriggs, are additional candidates for the chopping block.
