Rashawn was a good-looking kid, man.

They were kind of hanging out before that.

You know what I'm saying?

And she was just freaking out about him.

Players expressed the opinion they wanted to do what they felt like Brian Patton would want to do.

They felt like Brian wanted to practice.

They felt like Brian would want to play.

And so that's a decision that we respected, and I think it's the right decision.

His name came across my desk talking with Coach Coker and things like that and some things that he was dealing with.

I'm not privy to all the stuff, what his performance issues were, but there was a very strong sentiment that he had something to do with it.

When that was brought up to me by the players, I made sure that the detectives had that.

And what came of those leads, I don't know.

I think some of them bought into it.

Some of them, you know, said, nah, it wouldn't happen.

Or you would get that, well, if it was any of our guys, that kind of thing.

And so that's how you operate as a coaching staff.
