Answer every question with,
"He's day to day."
"He's working really hard every day to get back."
"He's close."
"Something may have happened there."
"He might have got dinged a little, he's fine."
"I didn't really see it."
"As far as I know he's fine."
"He was in the locker room after the game with his teammates"
"I'll have to check with the training staff."
He's so down to earth and open with his non committal answers that Seattle media just lets it go. Softy, Vorel and Caple won't press too hard because they get pretty damn good access to the program. Waaaaaay more than Petersen ever allowed. DeBoer actually wants those guys writing articles, wants them doing podcasts, he wants his coaches doing interviews with Softy on the radio, he wants whatever juice this city can muster. Hell, he let Softy do an entire two hour show from the recruiting lounge after the AC last year. Coaches, players and DeBoer himself all sat for interviews. It was the best content Softy and Doog Fain have ever put out. If its archived somewhere I actually recommend listening. Media access and a controlled narrative are key, DeBoer understands this and for that he will always get away with his canned non answers. He's the boss.
