"I wasn't sure what to expect when I showed up at Flowery Branch Friday. I've seen a lot of ugly losses from this team, but considering just how lifeless and befuddled they looked against the Panthers, Sunday's was one of the worst.

"While we were finishing up with Raheem Morris right after practice, London went home before we had a chance to even get into the open locker room, and he made it clear he left because he didn't want to speak to the media. I suspect he is upset about the Hilliard firing, which is understandable, but I can't confirm that since he wouldn't speak with us."
""I think about the greats in all sports that have done it at the highest level possible. I think about Michael Jordan, Mike Tyson - the greatest, LeBron James - Steph Curry.

Darnell Mooney described practices as competitive with increased focus on details and precision. The team prepared for a matchup with the Washington Commanders with tangible focus and competitive energy, though emotions remain uneven among individual players.
