Jarrett/Merriweather/Julius Jones on Sirius today

[DragonCowboy]

Of course he is well spoken. He went to ND.

Why aren't you then?

 

[Alexander]

I am terrible at recaps but here goes:

Jarrett: Kirwan loves him pointed out he:
1. had a TD catch every 5 catches
2. Played with a bad shoulder and 1 arm last year,and he never complained once.
Jarrett believes he is the best reciever in the draft, works hard is a team player and is anxious to prove people wrong who dont believe him.

Kirwan says it would be a mistake to pass on him,dont let the 40 time cloud your mind,he is calm and just makes plays.

This is not at all surprising if you are familiar with Kirwan.

He stumps for USC players constantly.

 

[burmafrd]

Well maybe because I went to Iowa.

 

[DragonCowboy]

I was ND fan by the age of 10. Long before I went to college. I am first and always an Irish fan; but I am also a Hawkeye fan as well.
By the way, I really did think that Gallery was going to be a top NFL Tackle.
I attended several games at Iowa when he was there during his senior season and he just ate DEs alive. It was only when I look back at it that he really did not play against any top DEs that year.

Meriweather: soloman wilcox and his partner

doesn't regret his troubles because he believes he wouldn't have been able to learn from them otherwise. Says all he wants to do is win and show he can play.

says the coaches kept putting him at corner in case someone got hurt.
he was asked about the comparison between him and E.Reed: he feels Reed is a corner playing safety and he is a LB playing safety.

he said he just wants to be around the ball all of the time,has been working out with Reed and Reed has taught him to study film,believes that what helps Reed be around the ball.
Phila has shown solid interest and he has talked to 11 teams,Wilcox mentioned SD/Carolina

he went on to say if he gets drafted in the second he is OK with it after what he has gone through and what teams may think. He said he will play like a first.

JJ: interviewed by S.Wilcox and partner

he was in NY working with middle school kids,joked and said some of the girls catch better then the boys.

says the offense this year will be wide open,much more relaxed under Wade and staff

has been told The RB situation will stay the same.

responded to trade rumors: if I get traded it's just part of the buisness and he will make the most out of the situation,I'm not a rookie anymore,but he wants to remain a Cowboy.

went on to say he wants to finish his career a Cowboy, he said they are Americas team,great tradition,loves the city.

Listening to JJ was a breath of fresh air compared to Jarrett and Meriweather,he is so well spoken and the other 2 well

sorry so butched up just trying to pass along

Must be that 'Domer' public speaking class he took....

I really hope Julius can succeed he really is just a great guy.

Call me a homer, but I really think Julius Jones will be much better player this year. I just don't think he's the kind of player who responds to Parcells type of coaching. He's young and so are many other of our players and it just possible somebody like Garrett along with Soprano and Wade Wilson will be able to get more out of them in the different atmosphere they can provide.

Remember how well Sean Peyton did at NO and he certainly different type of coach from Parcells. Some players can handle the cold hard coaching of a Parcells but most respond much better to encouragement instead of criticism. It's just human nature. Parcells personality could destroy some young players. But of course we'll see how well Jones does this year along with Spears and many of the other players. lFrankly, I'm betting that Ellis is glad Parcells is gone.
