Why don't they ask ?'s about fumbling, leadership, his role on the team last year vs this year, laughing on the sidelines, etc, etc

i dont care about bs "team" talk and AB getting to know some actor

blah

Glad I didn't click it then. I thought it would be BS.

Whatever Mayoj! How much do I love Michael Vartan right now? "I'll trade an Oscar for a Saints Super Bowl." Damn skippy. I'd trade my first child for a Saints Super Bowl. For those of you who don't know, that means I'm offering up BnB - I'm his daddy. LOL :)

OK, my two cents - AB looked a little strained trying to say and do the right things. That means two things to me: first, it doesn't come naturally. Second, the guy seems to be trying really hard to be professional and a leader and team player. I'll give the man a lot of credit for that, and I hope for everyone's sake, that he has a fantastic year. Make me forget the name Adrian McPherson, Aaron.

... it ain't 60 Minutes... it is the NFL Network... for anyone who's looking for hard hitting sports journalism, the NFL Network is NOT the palce to get it...

... besides, what do you want to hear from Brooks?

"...uh, yeah, I fumble a lot... "
"...uh, yeah, I ain't no top 5 QB..."
"...uh, yeah, I ain't no leader..."

Got to see I agree with you even though not natural I thought AB did a very good job at giving Horn and Deuce credit -- thought he did a good job discussing the defense -- thought his statement that playing as a team was what led to the 4 game winning streak and thought what he said about McPherson was exactly what he should have said (although that is where you could really tell he was stretching his attitude a little). All in all one of the better interviews I have seen Aaron give -- Okay AB -- now that you have my attention make me into a Brooks believer

I agree with the comments on Brooks doing a good job. I don't even think he looked uncomfortable up there. I would just rather here about more significant things. I guess when it comes down to it though, an interview like that is just to get people thinking about the coming season, not to reveal any insight.

As for handling himself well and all that, it just means he passed in the PR department. I'm sorry but that doesn't mean too much to me. If he doesn't know to mention team work and being excited about making the playoffs this season in an interview then he really has had his head somewhere else these four years.

My point: this interview gave no info and did nothing to excite me about the season (not to say that I am not already very excited; I'm going to be at the 9/11 game in charlotte). Whodat, if it really got your motor running, then it doesn't take too much; but I'm glad you got something out of it. I did not.

I think I liked it because it showed a marked improvement over the past years and interviews -- I mean -- who can forget the memorable interview where he said he was a great player on an average team and Delhomme was an average player on a great team --- Or how about the fans are dissin me --- quote after quote it was always about AB -- this time was very different

And yeah -- I think he did have his head somewherer else the previous 4 years --

I'm making two points:

1) Any actor who says that he'll give up his Oscar for a Saints Super Bowl is more than just "some actor" in my mind. :)

2) At least Aaron is trying. I'd much prefer to see this than, "I'm a great QB on an inconsistent team," or "I ain't got much to say to ya'll. Ya'll been talking sh!t on Aaron Brooks."


Performance-wise, this doesn't mean a damn thing, but it's better to see than a lot of alternatives that I can think of.

In the middle of the season interviews with a frustrated team are always different from a preseason interview. He has nothing to complain about right now.

To be honest, this is the one time when a player can throw in a little about himself bc most of the offseason is a personal endeavor. Discuss personal improvements, goals, etc leading into the second half talking about the team as a whole and all that stuff.

I'm just saying thats what I was interested in hearing about. They didn't ask him about that stuff, so he wasn't going to say it. Not his fault (as usual :) )

I will say he handled himself about as well as he could have on the A-mac topic. You could tell he was searching a little for the right words, but its hard to say something PC about that. Unless of course he said, "I'm going to work my tail off and do everything possible to be the qb of this team for years to come." you know something along the lines of i'm going to work for it, not he's not good enough. He did a good job with it though.

I agree, i thought it was a good interview. Said all the right things- Giving all the other guys props, the talk about every one playin as a team was good.
I've always support'd AB, dont think he gets credit for what he's done here, Lets face it untill AB came along we stunk at QB for years (since Hebert, to be honest.) (AB might be the best we've ever had)
The only fault i've ever had in him is when he panic's sometime's (but it kinda hard not to panic when your getting blind sided and under pressure almost every down). Saying that, i also understand he can get better. He's due to explode and be a pro bowl QB and i think he just might this year.

.... guess Blake stunk up the joint...

where's was that button again? We don't have one??? geeezzz...

saintswhodi 06-02-2005 04:24 PM

TR, 7-4 is just not that impressive to some people.

Didn't Hebert and Fourcade lead us to the playoffs though?

WhoDat 06-03-2005 08:30 AM

I'll go out on the limb and say this. Hobert was a good QB. Not great, but he could have been just as good as Hebert was for the Saints, if he had just stayed healthy. The Ankle ultimately did him in - but he looked pretty good to me when healthy. I never understood why Tolliver was the favorite Billy Joe. :)

DJLengai 06-03-2005 06:03 PM

I thought Collins would have been able to be solid for us at QB if he had time to build chemistry with the team and learn the system. He did great for the Giants and the Raiders obviously like his ability.

Blake definitely did a good job before he got hurt. He throws one of the best deep balls ever. McPherson needs time to mature and learn the system which will give Brooks time to prove himself once and for all now that he's got serious competition. With the team we're fielding this season, we should play consistently and Brooks will have time to make his reads, he should have a stellar year despite his goofy personality.

All that matters whether you hate him or like him is that he keeps his poise and makes the right decision to get the receiver the ball. As long as he does that, especially on crucial downs in crucial games, I don't care how goofy he is.

LordOfEntropy 06-03-2005 06:09 PM

And as long as that fumble ratio stops killing scoring drives, that is. That's a pretty critical piece too.

FireVenturi 06-03-2005 08:22 PM

and maybe if we had the defensive scheme that we had in 2000 we would start out every year 7-4. who knows

I guess the organization decided that you can't go wrong with a BJ because they could always pull him out and put another one in. LOL
