Talks about Bradford's air of confidence (realizes this is his team).
It wasn't what he said (about winning the SB), it was HOW he said it.
Rams only have one true FB on the roster, but a ton of TE's. Kendricks is out because of a "little knee mishap" that he's rehabbing. They might go with just one solid FB, but they'll always use the TE in that role - movement, and executing wham blocks. Softli would like to see a double-seam route with both Kendricks and Cook. Thinks they'll keep 5 or 6 WR's and 3 TE's. If they go with a FB, then it's one less RB.
On Watkins: The situation falls underneath the substance abuse program. It's not a failed test, but the rest is being sought after. It's kind of hush-hush right now. The NFL can do whatever they want to - fine him, one game, two game, three game suspension. Generally when you test positive it's 4 games. It's my understanding it wasn't a failed test, but it warranted a one-game suspension. When I interviewed him yesterday, he said "I screwed up - it's on me."
On Saffold: Talked to him yesterday. Saffold's got a good mindset. He wants to start at RT and be the best RT he can be. Talked about technique and how long it'll take to adjust. It's not learning a foreign language, but it's a different stance and different punch. The adjustment comes at pass blocking. Talked about going against Chris Long and it's going to make him better. They started that competition - that pushing each other thing, and it's looking better.
