You can feel the hate and fear of Bagent in his interview with the Tribune. Sad!
CT: The backup quarterback job is being talked a lot about here now because of what Tyson Bagent did in the preseason and where it’ll go. But what have you learned in your first couple of years in the league about what you need in a game week from your backup to help you prepare?
— JF: Yeah. Nate (Peterman) did this last week. It is good to have a guy like Nate in the room, a guy that’s been in multiple offenses, who has seen defenses for a lot of years. For the last preseason game, he did a thing called “Nate’s Nuggets,” and it was just a bunch of little notes he took throughout the week. He put them on a little sheet for us. I was reading it Thursday, Friday night and Saturday before the game. It’s good to have a guy to just remind you of little stuff you might forget when you’re just overwhelmed by so much other stuff.
Even on Tyson’s pick (against the Bills), he taught me something I didn’t even know — that flat defenders on that are taught to try to bump into the slant (receiver). They know, once they see somebody going into the flat, that the slant is coming right behind them. Especially in the zone defense — Cover-3 or something like that — when the flat’s going out, the flat defender’s taught to bump into the slant (route) and that’s why that pick happened.
— CT: But then that flat’s wide open.
— JF: The flat’s wide open. Exactly. So if you see that flat defender get a bunch of depth, just hit the flat (route) and then you’ll take 4 or 5 yards every time. But that was my first time ever hearing that. I didn’t know that. It was good having a guy with an experience like that on how that happened and why it happened. He was with the Raiders for a long time, and of course they played the Chiefs every year. He said that’s what the Chiefs are taught to do.
It was good hearing that and little stuff like that that I can pick up on. He has always given his 2 cents, which I love to hear. But of course the guys upstairs are going to choose a backup quarterback who they think is going to put our team in the best position to win if your No. 1 quarterback goes down. So I can’t blame them. Tyson earned his spot. From Day One, he came in and worked hard and he performed well in the preseason games, in practices. So I’m happy for him for sure.
What ?? Nothing wrong with what he said ya chode
