Kansas City Chiefs - Herm Edwards Press Conference - 9/18
Q: One of the concerns some draft analysts had about Bowe coming out of LSU was that he and his QB Russell tended to improvise on their own. Was that a concern coming in or is it a risk-reward thing you can live with?
EDWARDS: “Tell you what with schoolyard, if the quarterback scrambles it’s OK. Now, he has to be more disciplined like a lot of those college guys. A lot of those college guys are not real disciplined route runners. A lot of those quarterbacks when they get into trouble have a certain guy they like to throw to. If I’m a quarterback on this team and I’m scrambling I know I want to know where number 82’s at, ‘cause if I throw it up to him he’s probably going to jump up and catch it.
“He’s going to be more disciplined but he has a little bit of that to him where he’ll…that’s a communication between the quarterback and the receiver. There’s one guy up in New England right now who’s lighting them up. They said he had a lot of schoolyard in him, too. They said he was done. If you think you’re even with him he throws his hand up and they throw it down there and he jumps up and catches it even though he’s covered. We have those types of players and you have to give them the chance to make the play. Sometimes when guys are covered they’re really not covered because the guy has the ability to jump and catch the ball. You want guys like that.”
