Team owner Arthur Blank spoke to the media ahead of the Super Bowl, a popular spot for owners, general managers and coaches to start guiding the offseason narrative. Blank is no stranger to these media frenzy periods and he’s always armed with some talking points. After all, the team owner needs to drum up excitement during the next six football-less months.
Nearly a year ago to the day, Blank talked to the media ahead of the Rams-Bengals Super Bowl with some expectations that didn’t quite materialize. Matt Ryan didn’t stay, the team didn’t do what “great franchises” do and put in place a transition plan, but that sure looked to be the plan before the Deshaun Watson catastrophe.
