Big plays, big chunk plays, get to that energy I think that you’re talking about. Does this offense—and I know you had several at Detroit and New England—do you think you guys have the wherewithal to do that consistently week in and week out?
To be as charitable as possible to Newton, Person’s question is a little convoluted, but it’s not clear why the QB, after already dealing with press conference controversies, would completely abandon the podium over that inquiry.
