Braylon Edwards makes Roy Williams seem like Michael Irvin, so everyone has the right to to be critical of him.
Mark Sanchez is the quarterback if the New York Jets, if he feels the need to get into Edwards’ face and explain to him the football isn’t an explosive device and it is ok to catch from time to time, that is what he needs to do.
The quarterback needs to be the leader, not the wide receiver who once tried to woooo Rihanna with a 10k bottle of champagne only to be laughed out of the club.
Here is what Braylon had to say:
“Once a quarterback gets to a certain point, where his mistakes are far and few between … it’s hard to be that (critical) when your mistakes are at a substantial level,” said Edwards. “That happens with more experience. That happens with more consistency. Then you get that respect when it becomes second nature.”
“(If) a guy drops a pass, (you say), ‘You got to catch that for me.’” He added. “Or when a guy runs the wrong route or gets the wrong depth or a lineman jumps offsides. Then, that’s when it’s, ‘Hey, man, I need you. You can’t be doing stuff like that.’ The Peyton Mannings of the world…. It takes consistency.”
“This is a look-in-the-mirror league,” Edwards said. “I have to look in the mirror and make sure I’m doing the right thing all the time before I have the nerve to say anything to anyone else.”
