Lovie: No Leash on Rex

Lovie Smith said he watched a lot of football this weekend and heard that "Grossman is on a short leash" talk flying around from all directions.









He was surprised by these reports and confirmed what I wrote a couple days ago: Rex isn't on a short leash. He's not even on a long leash. He's free to move about unabated, though he rarely strays from the pocket.

What about it, coach? Then where are all these guys getting the "quick hook" story from?

''We talk about perception and reality,'' Smith said. ''That may be the perception, but I don't know where it came from. It is not the reality at all. Just go with our track record. I keep hearing these things. It hasn't happened, so where does this come from?''
