My Interview with Mocking the Draft

Seriously. Jeez, we’re not even in camp yet. Nice interview, very well done. I do have 2 points of contention, though. I think we actually do need to add a veteran running back, for insurance. Shaun Alexander, if Payton’s evaluation of him pans out. Secondly, I am convinced that the Giants asked for Roman Harper in exchange for Shockey. The Saints did not offer Harper, and the deal died when the Saints refused to consider it (wisely). Break a leg tonight!

I listened in and logged on to the show last night. Dave has a calm, measured voice that is good for this format. I’m looking forward to hearing more. They didn’t take any calls, but accepted instant message type questions/comments from the website. Problem is, it is the same each year: We are not the coaching staff (and they don’t talk, even to Kenny W) and we don’t know what they are thinking. I’m sure Coach Payton knows if he needs another running back or not and if so, when he should try to get one. We don’t know that, we can only speculate. All these predictions of who will finish first or last actually mean nothing. It’s fun to do and fun to read other opinions, but it is a long season. Injuries, contract years, year after signed contracts, all kinds of things affect how the season plays out. You think Jason David wants to go out and suck again this year, that he doesn’t care? We’ve heard him talk, he’s a smart guy, he appears to have some pride. I think he’ll have a better year, it can’t be as bad as last year. Anyway, somebody go to camp and tell us what you see. That’ll be something to talk about.
