Re: McNabb Press Conference Thread
 

again on Skins vs Eagles.. he's not looking at just 2 games, gotta be ready for all of them

Re: McNabb Press Conference Thread
 

He's not a High/Low kinda guy. He just has fun. I don't think JC ever got to just have fun...

Re: McNabb Press Conference Thread
 

[quote=GMScud;684155]He just said, "I'm a Redskin." It's still so weird.[/quote]

Actually the full quote was "I'm planning to be inducted into the Hall of Fame as a Redskin...thanks for the question saden"

Re: McNabb Press Conference Thread
 

lol joked on lack of run game in Philly.. likes his options at RB and WR here

Re: McNabb Press Conference Thread
 

He just made fun of the fact that the Eagles never ran the ball. Then he said, "we will run the ball here."

Re: McNabb Press Conference Thread
 

Shanahan needs a posture coach.

Re: McNabb Press Conference Thread
 

Shanahan didn't think that the opportunity for McNabb would happen, happened very quickly, Shanahan himself was surprised but excited.

Re: McNabb Press Conference Thread
 

listenin to it on 980, but no vid. Pretty standard stuff so far by McNabb

Re: McNabb Press Conference Thread
 

Both McNabb and Shanahan mentioned the comparison to Elway/age before SB.. Shanny added Steve Young was 11th season

Re: McNabb Press Conference Thread
 

Shanny referencing the fact that Steve Young was in his 11th year in SF when he won a SB with him, and Elway was in his 13th/14th years in Denver....

Yeah not too many electric comments usually come out of these

Re: McNabb Press Conference Thread
 

McNabb on Philly fans: he felt that he was treated fairly, never heard him complain.. nor media, not his concern, blocks it out, so many distractions in football, if you let it bother you you won't accomplish anything

well he has complained about it before but not often.. I think his complaint that I'm remembering was more of a media thing

Re: McNabb Press Conference Thread
 

McNabb compares this to being drafted again, having a team that wants you selecting him

'los in the background

John Thompson in the building, wasn't he just at the National Championship game last night? lol

Re: McNabb Press Conference Thread
 

lol.. McNabb mentioning talks with Snyder

"Well, he paid for dinner.. that was nice" and Shanny chimed in "Thank you Dan!"

McNabb said he talked with him on the phone after the trade, they talked about plans for the organization, etc

Re: McNabb Press Conference Thread
 

lol saden just snuck in following SS's post :rofl:

Re: McNabb Press Conference Thread
 

You sound like you really wanted to stay in Philly

McNabb: "I'm a Redskin now"

some other stuff..

Yeah he would've liked to have finished there but not in his control

asked about if he has great success here would he go into HOF as a Redskins

not a concern of McNabb's right now

Re: McNabb Press Conference Thread
 

Oh snap! He asked the HOF question.

hahahaha

Re: McNabb Press Conference Thread
 

McNabb mentioned that some of his former teammates were there for the press conference. i'm just listening to it now - any idea which guys showed up? very classy on their part and it shows the kind of loyalty players have for McNabb. Hopefully he's here long enough to develop a similar bond with our players, and that it translates into success on the field.

Re: McNabb Press Conference Thread
 

man Shanahan just reminded me of George Bush there for a few seconds.. that scared me

He mentioned former teammates? I thought that he just said some of my teammates are here showing their support.. aka his teammates now

Re: McNabb Press Conference Thread
 

Some idiot just asked if McNabb would consider going into the Hall of Fame as a Redskin. How can a friggin sportswriter not know that in the NFL guys just go in, there is no team affiliation linking to the induction.

Re: McNabb Press Conference Thread
 

Shanahan on JC: had lunch yesterday, Jason was candid.. asked if he could look for starting job, Shanahan said yes he'd give the chance to start elsewhere before draft

if not JC will come back to us.. not sure if he meant that there was a deadline on him finding a starting job or not, I think more just about his tender.. mentioned JC is a classy guy

Yeah but players come back and sign 1-day contracts so that they can retire as a player of a certain team. Monk did it.. recently Elam did

but yeah induction as part of a team question is dumb
