    Crap like this

    CAT'S OUT OF THE BAG: When coach John Fox was asked about working reinstated right guard Jeremy Bridges in this week, he made no reference as to who would start, and worked to be as vague as possible. He said rookie Ryan Kalil (who started the last two weeks) might still work with the starters.

    "We split time with those guys at today's practice and we'll evaluate that as the week goes on," Fox said.

    Problem was, the two players in question didn't get the memo about being coy.

    "I ran with the ones all day today, so I think it's going to be for sure that I'm starting on Sunday," Bridges said.

    "I was on the second team," Kalil said. "That was kind of his job always and we had a temporary solution for me to come in. It was perfect for me to come in and a perfect situation for me to get some experience."

    Definitely annoying for fans, but ultimately meaningless.

    agreed...i've even heard him things like "we're not required to to say until such & such, so i'll wait until then to say...etc"

    it's all part of the game, if he's not saying, then i assume they hear what everybody else is saying

    doesn't hurt to have stories straight, honestly, but I don't see where this would really matter. You could as easily say that Bridges is getting a little more time to see where he's at. I don't think the Falcons are specifically hanging on who might be at RG, though given that Babineaux had 2 sacks last week, and supposedly Kalil has given up 3 (!) in two games, I could see them hoping for Kalil. I don't believe Kalil is specifically "the problem" there, though to be honest, even if it is, that's not that big a problem. He wasn't drafted for RG.

    I remember his first interview on WFNZ when hired. He was so much more interesting and available than Seifert. I don't think I've heard him on there since. Not that that matters.
