Can someone give a recap?
How did it evolve?
- Trying to get the best pieces in place.
- Familiar with OC, and packages, including jumbo TE package.
- Can be the swing tackle.
- Thought he's a better piece to our puzzle.

Is he bigger than Smith?
- He's bigger. Demarco thinks he's huge, and he moves people.

Why does he have a bad rap?
- JPP had 2 really good moves on him, and that got blown out of proportion, IHO.

Asked about Rok?
- They are very happy with his performance, he's proven to be in the mix. Still not scheming, so they are a little concerned about that. They'll bring him along slowly.

Do you like to trade?
- Always looking to get better, and willing to go get what they want.
- Won't just sit and wait.

What does term rebuild mean?
- You often hear that with a new regime.
- Wanted to turn roster over and get younger, but rapidly.

What do you identity to be?
- With this year we want momentum, we want guys to go out and make plays.
- Tenacious and pressure on defense.
- Want other team to know that they are a good team and played hard on both sides of the ball.

There's more, but I'm tired. Hope that helps.

Not bad. The only thing I would add would be him joking with Hunter in his office that 'he might be the worst player he's ever met'. :rofl:

It's worth a listen if you find other means. Like Selassie said, "He's a cool cat".

Somewhere in the jets organization, some exec is spinning the same kind of thing about Smith.

Somewhere on a jets message board someone is saying "some Rams exec is saying things like that about Hunter" and in response some other fan is saying "nuh uh."

I'm getting that queasy feeling you get when looking at the perpetual reflection of a mirror facing another mirror.

How many message boards and posters are doing this???
