RunPortisRun Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 "Aahhh, I just gonna train hard...Aahhh keep the plays in my head and do what I always do." "What was it like on draft day?" "Aahhh..." As a military man I thought he would talk with a bit more confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead Money Posted May 2, 2005 Author Share Posted May 2, 2005 Seems humble by the ah shucks stuff but I would have to agree that he's not what I expected. Doesn't exactly SEEM like the intelligent guy in the middle everyone has been clammoring for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as he's got FOOTBALL smarts, he'll do nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TC4 Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 Ahhhhh, did you guys ever stop to think that maybe the poor dude is just a bit nervous? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet Sassy Molassy Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 You know just because he talks that way doesn't mean he's stupid. He could be really intelligent, just not so great with public speaking. I've met a lot of people like that. Just like TC4 said, he may be nervous.

PortisSkins26 Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 wow some people are just so stupid u think he sucks cuz he sounds bad in an interview wow thats the dumbest thing that i have ever heard in my life. u dont have to be a good speaker in order to knock someone out on the field. so dumb, he will start by week 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sitting bull Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 Look the end of the interview... we can see he was very nervous and anxious (when he looks the camera with his eyes... the last 3 s). :logo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 And some people need to realize the guy grew up in Alabama. The guy's from the friggin South. You guys are confusing his accent with "smarts". The whole "and, uhmm" thing is part of the dialect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walking Deadman Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 As long as he can hit, call some serious adjustments and play football.....that's all that matters. I like the guy already, dude has NO neck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oleskinlvr Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 Well folks, I watched and heard the clip and IMHO he a refreshing breath of fresh air and muscles combined, compared to the likes of TO and all the other "love thyself" types. I hope this young man stays with us for a long time. And yea, I like the "Govenator" too The Elder One Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herrmag Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 Well, let's hope that speech does not equate to football smarts. During the interview played on 980, both Campbell and Rodgers said "you know" about 1,000 times each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDane Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 Dudes, come on, you all know he was acting a bit sheepish because he was mesmerized by the interviewer's [***censored for content***] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstape Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 i cant believe how much judgement is put into the way the players talk! we'lll know enough about these guys in due time no need to jump on any bandwagons now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 Judging McCune based on his speech is like judging him based on the size of his arms: both are meaningless in relation to ability to play linebacker. And people on this board are guilty of both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
authentic Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 oh Lord, i thought you guys where over reacting but he does sound like a bit of a dunce.. you would excuse him for being country but this is rediculous. with all of the Ahhh's and Umms, please he needs to be banned from the media, this is embarrassing.. but he's still a beast.:doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MumboSauce Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 well the "ahhhhs, and uhmmm"' are really verbal crutches, similar to folks that say like all the time, you know like when you like, and like do this and like, etc.. not so much a "southern dialect" He may not be a great public speaker or a man of many words, but so long as he is a good character guy, with a great work ethic and attitude..and has football smarts and bust chops who cares. straight from North Carolina Michael Jordan wasn't that smooth as far as the press was concerened either..but later in life that man became one of the most polished, smooth, charismatic speakers that could handle any question or press person. Some may have it early on and that is a good thing, but others get better with it and learn it over time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruinSkin Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 I'm sorry did you guys want him to take the MCATS or do you want him to play MLB? Get over it. Dexter Manley was illiterate, but he was a hell of a football player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys are confusing his accent with "smarts". The whole "and, uhmm" thing is part of the dialect. .....that what they kept telling you down there in Roanoke? It is OK TK....we still love you... Seriously - I'd rather have a guy w/ uhhmmmms and pauses in speech than have a guy that is hangin' in Miami or is so c0ck-sure speaking "Neighborhood English" that I don't understand a word he says. You know....Gangsta NFL......I like McCune's background. I just hope he has all synapses firing. Granted - I'm one of the whitest people you've ever met....but good lord cut me a little break......I get so lost sometimes. You kids gotta translate that stuff for us old, white curmudgeons. Holler!......oops I mean Holla! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
