(about Rex) Greg Olson = Brandon Lloyd
Posted: Thu Apr 3, 2008 3:13 pm
I'm really surprised I'm not hearing anything about this today, but Greg Olson might of slipped his tongue, so to speak, much like Brandon Lloyd did.
When Brandon Lloyd was signed he kinda slipped it to the media about Rex "being the guy". He spoke about Rex in a present tense referring to him as THE quarterback.
Well yesterday, Greg Olson sang the seventh inning stretch at the Cubs game and during his post interview with Len and Bob he slipped too.
He was asked several routine questions about being a rookie and then about his experience as a Bear, yada yada. But then Len made a statement, "Now I don't want to get into a quarterback controversy, but how do you feel about next year at the quarterback position." (or something along those lines)
He spoke, and gave praise to Rex, stating(from memory again), "He's been the guy for awhile now, the team is behind him, I'm behind him," ...yada yada. That went on for a couple minutes, then he threw in, "...and Kyle, hes good too. So, its going to be interesting."
Why no love for Orton? I'm not saying he deserves it, but to talk so highly of Rex and just throwing in Orton's name at the end for good measure...
Hmmmmm.......
This is two instances now of players verbally hinting at something.
