A quiet Arians is a scary Arians

J.J. Nelson mentioned Monday that while Bruce Arians had made it known he was not happy with the wide receivers, he was "saying it in a nice way."

Yeah, well, that's not a good thing.

"I was very nice about it," Arians said Tuesday, very even-keeled while speaking on the subject. "I said (GM) Steve (Keim) is upstairs right now looking at tape for more new (receivers)."

That was probably a B.A.-mic drop moment. "I don't really give a s* what they think," Arians said. "They were told real quietly and that scared them."

It reminded me of my parents -- and probably many parents. I know I've done it with my kids. Getting yelled at isn't good, but when the tone gets quiet and perhaps a little more deliberate, something not so good is going down.

"If I'm hollering, I'm coaching 'em," Arians said. "When I'm not hollering, it's not a good thing."

-- Three receivers (coincidence? Probably not) are attempting to return to practice full today: John Brown (quad), Chad Williams (shin splints) and Aaron Dobson (hamstring). Tackle D.J. Humphries (hamstring) is going to try individual drills today, and Arians expects him back to practice later this week and to be able to play Saturday.
