Deangelo!

Great interview

Q. What do you think of the team's offseason moves so far? It's different; we're getting a bunch of hungry guys, not those guys who've already made a name for themselves and could be a distraction to a team that can't handle distractions at this point, anyway. I think they've definitely made some great moves, get more bang for their buck, 'cause guys are going to come out hungry and ready to eat.

 

Hm. At first, when he said he was nervous about having the starting job, as honest as it was, I was thinking: wha?

But overall, it was a good one. Doesn't sound high on confidence, but maybe thats what being stuck behind Foster will do to you, I dunno.

 

Nobody can accuse him of being too cocky, that's for damn sure. I think he'll do fine as a starter as long as he has the protection schemes down and refines his blocking technique...I'm not at all worried about him as a runner or receiver.

 

I didn't read it as lacking confidence. I think he is a very honest and open person, and is secure enough to not worry about what people think so says what he feels. And I have no doubt that everyone who is expected to go into the season as the starter for the first time in the NFL is nervous, so that's not a big deal to me at all.

 

by his words, it seems he really wants the #1 job, but realizes he's still going to have to work for it.

 

Kris Jenkins was always hungry and ready to eat.

 

And also would not be surprised if mendenhall showed up.

 

Sure, sure. Agreed. It was just a different approach was all. More honest than shit talking, chip on my shoulder, Im gonna prove these motherfuckers wrong shit. Its all cool. Im a big DeAngelo fan, and I suspect he'll do great.

 

he's less surprised than I would be, I don't think it makes any fucking sense.

 

No. At this point, Im starting to think DL more than OL....

Im surprised no one speculated on what went wrong with Darwin Walker signing with us....apparently it just wasnt mutual on our side? But the dude was a very productive run stopper just a couple years ago, and last year he battled injuries....so what gives? He was willing to play a prove it year....

If we went O, Id be stoked for Clady though, I wont lie.
