Sorry if posted. Just on the 610am sports ticker: Walker and Carr has to be "seperated from each other" in the tunnel on the way to the locker room after the game.
Walker just got mad because all of these other defensive linemen sacked him, he just wanted to see what it felt like.
Eh, big whoop. Teammates get into fights all the time. ...and how do we know it wasn't Carr that attacked Walker? That entire defense deserves to get its ass kicked after that fourth quarter yesterday...
My guess, w/nothing to substantiate it: Carr's falling into a habit of blaming everyone but himself. As in "We would have won today if it wasn't for Corey dropping that pass" or ""We would have won today if it wasn't for the losing protection I get" or "We would have won today if it wasn't for that stupid penalty by the defense" Sooner or later, someone is going to get sick of comments like that. And seeing how Carr had a pretty good game yesterday, I doubt Walker was blaming David for the loss. More likely, he stood up for Bradford or any other scapegoats. Evan
On Rich and Matt's post game show they wondering if Walker was yelling at Bradford or Carr on the sideline. Walker needs to stay healthy before getting on anyone.
On 610 this morning, John Granato was saying that the fight started when David Carr and Joe Pendry were going back and forth arguing about something (but not yet yelling at one another), when Walker jumped in and told Carr that he needed to take the coaching Pendry was trying to give him. I didn't catch any other details, but that seemed to tell me enough of the substance of the dispute.
No they just said the two had to be "seperated". I assume it was Walker that attacked Carr, beacuse Carr I dont see him getting in anyones face and not backing down. Also, Ive heard firsthand that many on this team think David should be more of a "vocal" leader and not so "Opie Cunningham" in personality.
What I heard was that Pendry was telling Carr that he should have hit Johson for the first down instead of going for the home run with stonehands Bradford. Carr was saying that was BS as Bradford should have just caught the ball. Walker got tired of this ran up and told Carr to STFU and listen to the coach, calling him a spoiled brat. It got heated, they had to be seperated, but it was nothing that hasn't happened in NFL sidelines forever. No big deal, but good to see some one actually cares they are the laughing stock of the league.
I'd be mad at Carr too, for sucking and being a #1 pick bust. I can see all the Carr lovers replying back to this now... He's a bust, it's a fact.
If this is true then Carr was right - he put the ball right there in Bradford's hands and Bradford, true to form, dropped it. Carr put the ball exactly where he had to put in order to get it past the DB and it is not asking too much for your receivers to make that catch. That would have been a big play, something that has been sadly missing with this team and it would have set them up at 1st and goal. Besides if Walker wants to be mad at someone, he should take a look behind him at the sorry play of the linebackers. Those guys are constantly being caught out of position or simply being steamrollered by the opposing team. They were MIA on that 7 yard TD run up the middle by Leftwich that won the game for Jacksonville. The reality is that nobody, offense or defense, has any right to point fingers at the other side - they both suck this year.
I don't condone Gary Walker for jumping in, but Walker is right, no one on that team should be arguing with coaching. I find it funny that if that was the case, wasn't the reason they got rid of Palmer because he was too soft on the players. Wasn't Carr supposed to be welcoming the change to a tougher more critical coach.
And another reality, IMO, is that if so many players are missing assignments, out of position, and not understanding plays, and if guys are starting to rip each other not just in the clubhouse but in the public eye, the coaching SUCKS. Guys don't have their heads in the game, guys are blaming and flaming on one another; it smacks of poor or absent leadership. Well, either sorry coaching or the team is full of sub-80 IQ buffoons, and I don't anticipate the latter.
