Despite an impressive press conference rant that brought to mind the best microphone work of his father, Jim Mora (Junior) is not going to make a change at kicker this week.
In fact, Mora expressed regret about throwing Olindo Mare under the bus Sunday.
“I think I let the emotion of the game get to me in my answers about Olindo,” Mora said. “One of the things that confirms my feelings for Olindo Mare is the way he came out when we were down 16-17 and popped one through to give us the lead after having missed two.”
Mora also pointed out Mare’s strong kickoffs as a positive in a game where he hit four-of-six field goals.
While Mora’s words looked a lot more fiery in print than the flat tone of his voice indicated, the incident might remind the former Falcons coach that he needs to be careful about what he says after a game, just like his players do.
