I agree its not a big deal. They'll likely bring Matthews and Cushing to Reliant for a private workout in the near future. However, just not showing up is a little perplexing. The owner and coach both came out last week and told the media that we're looking for a playmaking linebacker in the early rounds then skip the pro day of the school with 3 linebackers projected to go in the 1st round. If the purpose of not attending is to put up a smokescreen, then the owner and coach shouldn't have been talking to the media last week.
Also, if I remember correctly, isn't this a play out of Shanahan's playbook. Didn't he basically ignore Cutler (did not attend his pro day, didn't work him out, didn't even talk to him) until he traded up to draft him? I wonder if that's where it comes from.
