I was able to listen to a bit of it while driving, and there's no other way to characterize this other than TIRED. You could just put the little recorder with last years presser up to the mic, put a cardboard cut out of him at the table, and it would have been just as effective.
For those out there who question WHY this team constantly folds, why we buckle when any form of adversity hits, look no further than this agonizingly sad reflection of what he is made of:
"getting back to those glory years (you know 2018, 2020) were the goal"
Just close your eyes, close them, and play that snippet on loop- I fucking guarantee your tranquil mind will automatically insert Bruce Springsteen waxing poetically as the backing track. You will fall asleep, and you will likely hate life just a tiny bit more when you wake up and realize your dreams of being a wild card team and almost winning a playoff game- those were the times Billy Joe Armstrong was longing for some 30 years ago!
Then this part:
-Latu had a good year (8.5 sacks and 3 picks) and just needs to work on finishing on some plays
-The Front 7 needs help overall though
-Defense needs to be faster
Latu- is JUST A FUCKING GUY! He will sing his praises because he is HIS guy, but the reality is, that dude is just your random 55-60 other dudes at the position in the NFL. He is NOT an impact player, he DOES NOT need to FINISH some plays, he needs to fucking INITIATE some plays- the plays he makes are just finishing when there's like 6 seconds in the backfield because the QB held the ball for eternity. We need someone who explodes off the line and gets home in 2 -2.5 seconds.
So, with him making all those statements, he's implying he will make us faster up front, meaning he will select a DE with the 2nd rounder, which translates to us putting another notch on the wall where he marks the never ending list of ineffective DE's he has landed--- we are so fucked here!
Man, if you listened to this thing and didn't come away feeling like this dude is pretty fucking comfortable with just being middle of the pack, you didn't listen to his words and tone. This dude is the very reason we collapse, because this is HIS culture, this is a cultivator of mid!

He answered every question the reporters asked. He answered them honestly and didn't dodge anything.
Does it sound like same ole same ole? Maybe. But just like you play the teams on the schedule, You answer the questions asked by the reporters
Why are you pissed at Ballard and not the reporters for not asking better questions?
I never listen to anyone who screams there thoughts and can't talk rationally. I dismiss their thoughts as soon as I start reading the tone.
Think about the people in the world that scream their opinion all the time. No one takes then seriously because they are just not ver smart people
