James Palmer joins the show to give some insight on how Vance Joseph’s message about Siemian being the starter was received by the team, and James says nobody he has had discussions with seemed surprised by the decision after everything that happened at camp & through the preseason. DMac asks about the mood shifting when Trevor Siemian got done speaking & Paxton stepped up to the mic. James notes the media could tell Paxton was dejected, and Trevor remained level-headed, and says that type of mindset can transfer to the games for both QBs.
