Didn't Danny Boy come steaming out of locker room when one of his coaches "limited his comments" in the locker room after a game?
I think he is staying quiet because is marketing sense tells him that if he is perceived as "taking on" JOe Gibbs in a public forum, he (Danny Boy) will be bad guy in that confrontation. And I think he has had enough of being the local pinata...
So he'll probably sit in his owner's box and stew for a while in provate. But it has nothing to do with some kind of long-standing "policy" of his.

Not to argue, but Danny reportedly started this "not talking to the press during the season" policy in the 2001 season after he hired Schottenheimer. All of those examples are from the 2000 debacle....if anything, he does apear to learn from his mistakes.....unfortunately, we have had to live through them.
