Re: Vinny covering his ass
The link to the WP Article isnt the complete interview. The reporters were absolutely BRUTAL to Cerrato. You can tell they were deliberately trying to make him feel stupid. Here are my favorite parts -
Quote:
Q: Are you surprised by the lack of production by the back-ups on the offensive line?
VC: Are you talking about all the sacks and stuff?
Q: Yeah, I'm talking about everything.
VC: Such as?
Q: Such pass poor pass protection. Many players today have said that you didn't address the line. You knew it was a problem and you didn't address it. People around the league are saying it's one of the worst lines in the league. All that.
VC: Who is people around the league?
Q: People on other teams. Commentators on TV. They say you haven't addressed the line.
VC: We tried to address the line. We added [Derrick] Dockery. We added Mike Williams. We attempted to, and when we were in the draft, there was nobody at No. 13 worthy of it. Are you having the results you wanted to? No, we don't want to have sacks. So if it was Chris Samuels and Randy Thomas in there, would it be better? Absolutely. If you lose a Pro Bowler, it's definitely going to drop off. I guess where we're standing right now, to have more depth would be great.
Q: Is it too early to say that the line is going to be the team's main target in the offseason?
VC: It's too early to tell.
Q: Did you think that the depth was acceptable going into the season.
VC: Yeah...
--------
Q: Do you feel you gave Jim a roster that could get to the playoffs?
VC: Yes.
Q: You do feel that way?
VC: Yes.
--------
Q: Why did you wait until last Friday to say that Jim is going to be the head coach for the rest of the season?
VC: Like I said last night with Sal Paolantonio, we anticipated winning the Kansas City game at home and being 3-3. That's what I meant. So I think that after that game and we're changing the play-caller and we sat down and got our gameplan together and that's why it was on Friday.
Q: It took you the whole week to get your gameplan together and decide to stick with Jim for the rest of the season?
VC: Yeah. We sat down and talked about it. We were doing the play-caller thing. I mean, so yeah.
