He mentioned he has done a lot for the city, and he has. However, doing a lot for the city does not solidify your position at your job. I doubt he's really upset about the trade deadline because honestly, it's not even up to him. When this thing sinks in, he will realize this.AJ did handle it much better and I agree he understands its nothing personal they are doing whats best for the Bengals as they should emotions be damned. In Dalton's interview when asked about Finley you could see Dalton took a deep breath and relaxed some they are friends you can tell. He said it was not Finley's fault he did nothing wrong after a few days he will be a mentor for Finley like Kitna was for Palmer. That is his job description now so he needs to just help his friend Finley become the best QB he can. Palmer should of done this with Dalton when he came into the league I don't think he had that chance because Palmer was bitter on the way out let's hope Dalton see this and gives Finley every chance to succeed.
As I looked beyond him at the wall, I imagined the things he spoke about with doing a lot of great things and having great seasons and playoff runs. Yes, this locker-room was his pinnacle and he walked in there celebrating a lot of times. But dude, your 0-8 as the leader of this offense, and I know he realizes the choices that had to be made.
He stated he had talks with ZT on several occasions and had been in ZT's office more this year than ever, so it seems ZT is involved with good communication with the players. Andy the spoke of AJ and his relationship. It appears they have a great relationship. HOWEVER, I don't think AJ is as affected as much by the news of Andy. As AJ says several times, "NFL is a business."
