The Former Washington Redskin took some time to discuss the upcoming game between the Skins and Giants, but also the troubles of the whole NFC East.
After a humbling trip to Pittsburgh in Week 2, the San Francisco 49ers now face another tough road test in Week 3: the first-place Arizona Cardinals. Toss in the potential of a very hot Sunday afternoon in the Valley of the Sun, and the 49ers could be in trouble against Carson Palmer and Larry Fitzgerald. Arizona is 2-0 with dominant wins over the New Orleans Saints and the Chicago Bears. They are for real, and with the Seattle Seahawks off to an 0-2 start, the NFC West could already be in the Cardinals' hands unless the 49ers can pull an upset.
Following an inspiring performance, Browns coach Mike Pettine must decide between Johnny Manziel or Josh McCown as starting quarterback for Week 3 showdown against the surging Raiders.
Here's what some of the league's coaches had to say on Monday about their team's performance in Week 2.
So much for the nice Week 1 win for the San Francisco 49ers. It took just one road trip to knock the team back down to earth. The Pittsburgh Steelers beat the 49ers, 43-18, in a game that wasn't even that close. San Francisco didn't score a touchdown until the fourth quarter when the game was already out of hand, and defensively, the team gave up four TDs in the first half to fall behind, 29-3. Yes, it was that kind of day for the 49ers, and it raises a lot of questions for Week 3.
Going in as seven-point underdogs, the Oakland Raiders stunned the visiting Baltimore Ravens to the tune of 37-33, powered by a fourth-quarter comeback by second-year quarterback Derek Carr.
While having a clean bill of health did little for Jack Del Rio's chances in his Raiders head coaching debut, the Silver and Black will not have the same luxury when the Ravens visit the East Bay, this according to NFL Week 2 injury reports.
Running back Reggie Bush is listed as questionable for the San Francisco 49ers' Week 2 matchup on the road against the Pittsburgh Steelers with a calf injury suffered early in the Week 1 win over the Minnesota Vikings. That's literally the only injury the team is reporting this week to the NFL, and that's an amazing sign of good luck for the 49ers. To come out of Week 1 with a win and no major injury concerns is miraculous in this day and age of professional football.
