Regarding Teddy Bridgewater, Vikings show a failure to communicate

May 25, 2017 at 1:07AM

Teddy Bridgewater has released a couple of short videos of him throwing. On Tuesday, the Vikings released a short video of Bridgewater dropping back.

If you think Bridgewater is ahead of schedule, or on schedule, or doing encouraging things, why not say so?

You must be encouraged, or why put out a video designed to encourage?

If you're not encouraged, why put out the video?

And if you are encouraged, why not allow Bridgewater to talk?

He hasn't spoken publicly in an interview setting since his injury.

Why?

You don't need to protect him. He handles himself very well and never says anything he doesn't want to say.

Bridgewater is both likable and sympathetic.

So if he's making real progress, why not just say so? Or let him say so?
