Orlando Scandrick on First Take

[The Natural]

I thought he came across as a nice guy. You can tell he's a Garrett guy

no wonder he's stuck around for so long.

 

[JoeyBoy718]

He seemed fine to me. Didn't come off as arrogant at all. He was sitting a little too slouched though.

 

[mugsybows]

Orlando has matured. He was so laid back in that interview, maybe too much.

i remember last year after he had his child, Ben Rogers said he used to be scared to go interview him because he was always so combative, but said he noticed after he had his kid he was a lot more welcoming and laid back.

A Smith is such a DB. (not defensive back).

 

[negativecreep]

I was impressed with him after seeing that, he said smart, logical things even though SAS was trying to bait him, I loved how he defended Cowboys fans.

For the record, that was his third child. He has twin girls. Either way, a stable home life can do that for you.

His posture sucks? lol I can't stop laughing at that for some reason

 

[superjoe]

He needs to learn how to quit being a grumpy old man. Dude is an a-hole in real life.

Hahaha. He came into the league with a big chip on his shoulder, he never seems to take that chip off.

Plus I cant remember the incident, but early on in his career he got burned on something he said, some reporter tried to get into it with him on a short response and kept it going through multiple locker room interviews...I think that made him close up even more.

Don't care how he acts really, as long as he gets back to form and playing above his pay grade like he did last year before the injury. He can be as old and crabby with interviewers as he wants.

He gets paid to play football, you can tell that's his main focus. I get a kick out of all these media guys trying to get free tidbits from guys to sell their "inside info" or what not, they get any push back or guys treat them like hanger-on's and they get all bent out of shape.

I always enjoy these offseason threads...

Just posted btw.

 

[T-RO]

Some folks have resting *****/******* face. They look hostile or aloof or whatever even if they aren't really.

Critics here need to lighten up. I thought Orlando conducted himself quite well.

Agreed. He can be chippy all he wants just want him back to his peak pre-injury form. Otherwise, need to get something for him while he still has value. Cowboys are horrible at evaluating their vets and always seem to lose them for nothing.

 

[Frozen700]

The things you grown men complain about....smh

 

[gmoney112]

I thought he was fine.

I've always liked Orlando because he's real and you can tell he's always had a huge chip on his shoulder.

Only time i've ever seen him get annoyed is with Dallas reporters and who can blame him?

 

[stilltheguru88]

Good interview. Somebody really said bad posture?

 

[bonafidebanter]

He is..he came on Jim Rome a couple years ago and came off as a complete major league a-hole

I can't wait until the day when ALL of the players answer the questions like Larry Fitzgerald and Tim Tebow. Then everyone would start complaining that EVERYONE sounds just alike. Robotic.

 

[negativecreep]

I'll never forget the day after we picked him, Chris Peterson came into the Quiznos I was working at, made him his Tuscan Turkey sandwich, I made sure I was the one at the register when he came to pay, asked about Scandrick(my boss was pissed), he just said he thought he needed another year in school...have fun at UW, Chris he turned out just fine. Chris Peterson was pretty rude, reputation in Boise was he was a nice guy. Not that true...good coach though, no doubt.

 

[Alexander]

Wait, what?

 

[CWR]

He was terrible last year, he's losing his speed, and he's getting old.

Well he's no spring chicken and he was recovering from an ACL wasnt he? Guys had a chip on his shoulder his entire career. Going back to being a better player than Mike Jenkins and having to be behind him. I think he will feed off of thoughts of him being washed up and come out firing, although Ive been wrong before.

 

[TRUTH87]

I like oscan. In interviews in our locker room he does seem to give reporters a hard time. Sometimes i feel these guys arent up to doing interviews. And thats totally fine. Not everyone likes a mic and camera in their face.

Zeke seems to not like talking to media too much. Seems distracted and bored. Again nothing wrong w that.
