Put Up Your Dukes
Players, media have trust issues with McDaniels

Posted: July 16th, 2009 | Jamie Dukes |

Jay Cutler isn’t the only player who has developed trust issues
with first-year Broncos coach Josh McDaniels.
A few other players have privately expressed concern, and the media has
joined the chorus in feeling that McDaniels has a problem with honesty.
Cutler, who’s now a Chicago Bear, said his rationale for wanting a
trade out of Denver was because McDaniels refused to be honest with him
about his role in pursuing Matt Cassel. According to
Cutler, McDaniels continued to deny his role even when confronted with
incontrovertible evidence that he had tried to trade for Cassel, his
pupil in New England.

But this trust issue goes beyond players and extends to the Denver media.
In June, Broncos WR Brandon Marshall met with Broncos owner
Pat Bowlen to discuss his future. In that meeting, according to Marshall,
Bowlen said he wouldn’t stand in the way of the receiver being traded to another team.

Later that afternoon, reporters questioned McDaniels about whether he had met with Marshall.
According to Mike Klis of The Denver Post, McDaniels said, “We met after Pat’s meeting with Brandon,
and we are going to continue our dialogue with Brandon and his representatives.”
Within subsequent days, KDVR-TV in Denver received a tip that
McDaniels wasn’t being forthright and challenged him on his statement.
Presented with the report, McDaniels admitted that he DID NOT meet with Marshall.

Some would say this is no big deal, but trust is the cornerstone of
this society. We need to be able to trust our government. Trust is
essential to marriage and relationships. We need to be able to trust
our children. We need to be able to trust our friends.

As a former NFL player, I can tell you that trust is the foundation
between the player and the coach. When players trust their coach, they
play at another level. Unfortunately, truthfulness seems to be a
character trait that Bill Belichick didn’t pass down to young McDaniels.

I've been using that for years, but only around here. Milkman told me he only refers to it as doo shay now.

I like head coach Josh McDaniels. He is a stand up guy and is up front and to the point. He lets you know what’s on his mind, he’s honest and tells you things straight. He tells you like it is, and doesn’t hold back. I like that. He’s a winner.

He is a lock to make the roster. Mike Nolan brought him from San Francisco to play NT for us.
