Interviewed on the sidelines of the Monday night game between the New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys, Tulsa Roughnecks Coach Homer Jones, Jr. spouted off at great length about the "ineptitude" of Roughnecks General Manager Marcus Dupree in missing the signing deadline for running backs Ryan Torain and BenJarvus Green-Ellis, and voluntarily signing them to one year contracts in spite of a league office ruling that they would be allowed to keep them on the practice squad. But most of it is unpublishable.
"What am I gonna do with these guys?," lamented Jones. "I guess they were thinking, hey, we've already got a bunch of running backs who can't play, what's two more?"
"But then again," Jones continued, "it's not like the guys we cut could play either. Man, that safety they brought in here got hurt 15 minutes after he got off the bus," referring to Sean Considine. "I bet him and that fat punk kicker (Garrett) Hartley are smoking adderall from a pipe they made out of a TV antenna at the Rat [expletive] Hotel with Dupree right now."
Jones was at the game to observe Average Heroes RB Ahmad Bradshaw, who was part of the ill-fated Montario Hardesty trade in the offseason. RB Matt Forte was also sent to the Heroes in that deal. Both started against Tulsa this weekend.
"We just need to hold Bradshaw under 23 points tonight," Jones said. "But if he gets that much, then he just outta go off for at least 40. I got a little something riding on that somewhere else, if you know what I mean."
