I was watching Sunday's highlights on Inside the NFL, and just after Bowe bobbled a ball that was thrown low against pretty good coverage, Haley really got after Bowe for how he ran the route. Yelled at him a bit, probably embarassed em a little. It looked like Bowe maybe wanted to hang his head. He just walked off. Then he makes that spectacular catch in the endzone in traffic, and when Bowe gets back to the sidelines Haley gives him a rough pat on the chest and says, "Hey, good play, good play.. " Then goes on to say, staring right in Bowe's eyes, "Don't let me break you!" And again, "Don't let me break you!", while pointing at him.
Also, I found this on the scout.com forum. great article about Haley and Larry Fitz's relationship
Found this on Arrowheadpride.com
Taking a little page out of ArrowSpread's book:
I was watching the NFL Network yesterday and they did a half hour show on Larry Fitzgerald and his rise to stardom. Basically they showed how he went from Minnesota Viking ball boy to Heisman Trophy Finalist to NFL star. Also talked about how he dealt with the loss of his mother, how it affected his grades and his determination to make it to the NFL. Truly an awesome story. But the main reason I want to share this with Arrowhead Pride was because of what Larry started to say when he was talking about his breakout season last year...
"The best thing that ever could've happened to me was Todd Haley coming to Arizona. He pushed me like no one ever could and I took it personal. Forced me to be the player I always dreamed to be. Even though I still have a long way to go, he gave me a reason to get better every day and I am truly blessed for that."
Not even gonna comment on that because it is self-explanatory. But I also want to say, when Larry scored the go ahead TD with a minute left in the Super Bowl, he raced over to the sideline in excitement, got all of it out, and without talking to any coaches immediately sat on the bench, put his head down and closed his eyes. They showed a clip of Ken Whisenhunt trying to go over there and praise him for the TD but out of nowhere came Todd Haley stopping Whisenhunt before he could get to Larry.
"No no no, Ken, leave him alone right now, he's talking to his mother. Just leave him alone."
Larry goes on to say in the interview he was talking to his mother at that moment, and Todd Haley knew that. Just shows how much of a great relationship they had, and most importantly, how much class Larry FIizgerald harbors as a player, person and student of the game.
I don't care that we're 0-5, because if you thought we were going to make hte playoffs, you need to be smacked silly. The thing that makes me happy most is that we have a head coach that cares about winning and doing everything he can to make this team into the best it can be. Todd Haley is the right guy for this job and I hope he doesn't go anywhere for a long time. I do believe we will be 1-5 at 4 o'clock on Sunday afternoon.
