Atlanta Falcons coach Dan Quinn might insist that his players know the rules regarding onside kicks after their stunning failure against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, but team owner Arthur Blank isn’t buying it.
Blank — speaking on SiriusXM NFL Radio on Monday after the team’s 40-39 loss to the Cowboys — said the play spoke for itself.
His players “clearly” didn’t understand the rules and what they needed to do.
“Clearly on the last play of the game yesterday our players, you know, didn’t do what they either were instructed to do and they didn’t understand it, or, it’s clear, though, they didn’t, in my view, they didn’t clearly understand what the rules were and exactly what they had to do,” Blank said, via ESPN.
