Thanks for being the first person to supply some backup facts for the argument. If you watched the games, which I did not, were the INT's boneheaded throws (like Quinn makes) or was it a case of Russell being a little too confident? IMO, Russell is a big strong kid, who knows he is big and strong and thinks he can get away with a little more than he actually can.

Q: Herm, back on December 25th you were asked if Trent Green was your starter going into next season and you said, ‘yeah, why wouldn’t he be?’ Have you changed your mind on that?
EDWARDS: No, I have not.”
