YoloinOhio Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 (edited) Booger McFarland has made some negative comments before about Garrett on ESPN radio. Garrett was supposed to come on Mike and Mike today for an interview and when he find out McFarland was in for Golic, he refused because of what he said about him. Bad sign that this kid can't take a little media criticism? Shouldn't he be able to not take that personally? It wasn't character assassination, he just had some different takes on his play. McFarland is just doing his job which is to be opinionated. Garrett may be not be a good fit for Cleveland's media ... http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2017/04/11/myles-garrett-declines-to-do-radio-show-with-booger-mcfarland/ Edited April 11, 2017 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebandit27 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 I would guess not. I may be something as simple as Garrett knowing he might return fire, and not wanting to say something that would hurt him at this point. I don't see how he doesn't go #1 overall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted April 11, 2017 Author Share Posted April 11, 2017 (edited) It's not just media I would worry about, it's coachability. If Greggggo tears him a new one in practice is he going to want to get better or run home crying? They will still take him but Cleveland media can't wait to get under his skin already I would guess not. I may be something as simple as Garrett knowing he might return fire, and not wanting to say something that would hurt him at this point. I don't see how he doesn't go #1 overall If I'm Garrett I want to go on the show and just say "I appreciate your opinion.. I'm going to prove you wrong... " way better look and shows maturity. I doubt McFarland is going to be overly critical in the actual interview and frankly what he said wasn't that bad McFarland also didn't like Joey Bosa's game before the draft and said it repeatedly ... Garrett shouldn't care what he thinks if it's not true Edited April 11, 2017 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 cleveland media is very bitter and negative Man, that's unreasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KellyToughII Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Non-issue. Exactly and I agree with another poster, maybe he is smart enough NOT to put himself into a situation where the media might attempt to intentionally make him look bad.

26CornerBlitz Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 @LedyardNFLDraft Jon Ledyard Retweeted John Owning Reasons to drop Myles so far 1. Asked DAL to trade up for him 2. Runs a weird (fast) 40 3. Turned down an interview 4. Is too nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpberr Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 I don't see a red flag. He was wise to avoid needless confrontation close to draft day. Anthony McFarland is entitled to his opinion but Myles Garrett isn't required to validate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted April 11, 2017 Author Share Posted April 11, 2017 I don't think he would drop in the draft (obviously). I would wonder about his ability to deal with coaches or media who don't think he's perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Wagon Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 (edited) Will Mary Kay Cabot do a Sullivan job on him ? The next time Mary Kay says something negative about the Browns will be the first time. She's basically their propaganda ministry and she knows where her bread is buttered. Grossi (gotten himself banned from the facilities) is more their Sullivan. Although according to Cleveland.com and Mary Kay there's starting to be buzz for Fournette at #1, which would be just amazing.

Will Mary Kay Cabot do a Sullivan job on him ?she is more like a Vic Carucci The next time Mary Kay says something negative about the Browns will be the first time.

Chuck Wagon Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 The Money Ball guys in CLE have to know better. One would think, but who knows what information they are working from, they may look at Zeke in Dallas and convince themselves a stud RB behind a strong oline is the best way to win. It's the Browns, as KG would say "Anything is possible!"
