Tommy Kelly & Michael Bush: Talking to the media
Today, SBReport was able to listen in on Tommy Kelly’s session with the media regarding his arrest on suspicion of driving under the influence and other topics. According to authorities, the 27-yard old was booked at Oakland’s Glenn E. Dyer Detention Facility on Monday and later released.
On the incident:
“I’m the one that committed the mistake. I take full responsibility.”
About the defense, and their performance from week-1, to week-2:
“I think as a defense, we have improved. We got a lil’ out of character the first game when they jumped on us a lil’ bit.”
“We proved we can bounce back as a team..”
About how he is progressing:
“Me personally, I’m getting better from week-to-week, just trying to get my weight down where I needed at and move from there on.”
On the off the field distractions:
“I really don’t pay attention. That’s not really my business. I worry about who ever I’m going to be lined up in front of.”
Running back Michael Bush also spoke to media today, and commented on what occurred during the game last weekend.
Did he keep the ball he scored with…?
“Oh yeah, I kept it.”
What about the fumbled ball…? [jokingly]
“I didn’t keep it. They picked it up, so I had no control over that.”
On the fumble:
“Its just one of those things, I was going down with the ball, my elbow opened up a lil’ bit when I was going down. But to me, that sums what I’ve been through these last two years, you know, having injuries, then you have to fight back, fumble the ball, then you have to fight back…”
