Haley has already said that Orton was coming in for that specific play (flea flicker) and Palko was coming back in. And even if the Palko era was over, why the **** did he even start that game in the first place?

No clue. Orton isn't the answer, but he at least belongs in this league. Seems like every pass Palko threw was a bubble screen or under 5 yards in the air. I don't remember a throw further than 15 yards down the field.

It pretty much was. Shocking that our line would look better as we are throwing bubble screens every play.

I agree 100% that Orton isn't the answer. But, just like Gaither, he is the best at his position on this team, so he should have been on the field.

This offense is like Herm ball on speed. Especially when they do the hurry up, throw bubble screen, then up the center's ass LJ style bonanza.

It was in his press conference I believe, so I don't have a link. I listened to it on the radio.

Do you know of any updates on Orton's condition? He played for us with a badly injured finger. I hope the guy does well, except against my Broncos.

Haley was just blowing smoke to protect Palko. He isn't going to throw him under the bus to media. It was pretty clear they were getting Orton ready to go. He got 40% of the snaps in practice this past week after just arriving.

Ah yes, if there's one thing Haley makes it a point to do, it is massage the egos of his players and build their confidence.

What player has he ever called out in a press conference?

Haley may be a hard ass but he doesn't throw players under the bus.

You're right, he doesn't make a habit of throwing guys under the bus in press conferences. But, he has several times just not commented on the situation at all. I don't think he has ever come out and lied in a press conference to protect a player or anything. His comments on Cassel, etc, where he basically has just not commented aren't uncommon.

The plan was to sub Orton in on every pass expected to go 5 yards or more downfield.

So, we'd only be playing the best QB on our roster for 5 or fewer plays a game regardless.

that Todd Haley is so smart when it comes to offense.
