likeriver Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 (edited) Julio's comment was revealing, but honestly Matt's tone seemed a little wistful. I think he and Smitty developed a close bond. I remember how jubilant Ryan was after the Saints game week 16. At that point it was obvious that Smitty's career rested on beating Carolina and one reporter asked Ryan about the upcoming game and how it might save Smitty's career and he seemed to really care, gave a sincere response, almost a little choked up it seemed. I want to point out that I'm glad Smitty's not our coach anymore but it's interesting to see how close Ryan was to Smitty. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if Smitty was aware the Ryan had a lot to do with his success.

He doesn't talk negatively about anyone, ever. He could get jumped at a club and afterwards be like "Yea, they got some good hits in, they're obviously experienced at that kind of thing and I just gotta be ready in case it happens again."

paulitik Posted September 1, 2015 Author Share Posted September 1, 2015 You know you shouldn't post things like this!!You just need to "let it go"Have you let the Julio contract go?

Game Blouses™ Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Of course he's gonna say thatWhat would you be saying if he were to be honest with you?Did you watch the video?Jay asked what part of your team will surprise people this year and he brought up running the football. He didn't have to mention that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFatboi Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 https://twitter.com/NFLonFOX/status/638753840955691008Be sure to watch the video on the link (It won't embed)Seems like the previous regimes obsession about mistakes took it's toll.I said this for years. Makes you play tight and less instinctive. Is rather a player make a mistake hard than be timid from making a mistake at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtlantaFanatic Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 The level of diplomacy it must take to sound genuinely excited for a whole new coaching staff without indirectly bashing the old one. The ONLY thing you can say is that it's just different every time you're asked....which is exactly what Matt's response is every time he's asked.

allknowing Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Pucker up...come on man dont be a jerk. its a touching photograph. is this franchise really in the position of complaining about how the previous staff could have done better, when before them we had never even posted back to back winning seasons? could Smitty and crew have done better? maybe, and certainly in the final two years, but it was the best run the franchise ever had and THEY are the ones that set the expectations high. all i know is im positive we could have done a **** of a lot worse, and when quinn leads us to a super bowl others might forget the ones that paved the way, but i wont.im honestly ashamed of some of the things i said about smitty in the previous two years out of frustration. we might not could have gone all the way with him, but there's something to be said about how far he's taken us!

You really think I'd be serious about the two of them sharing a Nicholas Sparks style kiss on live TV? No...I certainly appreciate all that Smitty did as a coach, and as a person he's a class act, but it was time to move on. Let it be clear that our remarks about Smith were about Smith the coach, not Smith the person Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
