Kevin Cushing Presser

[Merica]

I have a few things to say about these statements. First I would have loved to play with you, feel like we would have both been able to help out most of the defenses in the league and while some others may have problems with some of the things you have said I respect you and like the player you are.

Now onto the trash talking bout Philly. First it seems like Philly had a plan going into the draft, and they executed that plan. While they may not have done the aggressive build Vegas did, they have plenty of talent and potential, and so far the locker room has been great. The Matt James incident is something that I'm not gonna talk about, as I'm not the foremost authority on the situation and only know what I've heard from both sides and nothing more.

As for them not drafting you it may just be a product of their plans. We already knew they were getting North, but Micah Hendrix and myself going before you to Philly were unknown. Both picks are obvious position needs for a team that needs to be built fast. They also were apparently in talks with Perry Tucker for him to come to Philly and change positions to LB. So it may not have been a character thing or a need thing, just how the draft board fell. From what they've told me they were ecstatic to get myself and Micah. The team didn't have any CBs going into the draft, so it just seems like circumstance and need caused the draft to go the way it did for Philly.

I don't agree with the statement that Philly put one of the weakest teams on the field, a lot of people agree that Philly had the best draft, and have the talent to make a run this year. I also like that myself, O'Sullivan, and Gerhart are all on the Liberty, and you seem to not like Philly.

Philly had a plan all right= let's not be competitive for awhile tbh
