Charles Grant on NFL Radio today (1 Viewer)

[jackers]

Hey, thanks a bunch for the recap.

 

[NCSaint]

Wasn't Charles quoted as saying he needs to feed his family during negotiations? Hmmm...

Get well Charles, lose some of that fat and come and be a force. You guys couldn't have held the Dome Patrols jocks last year dude.

I recorded the interview and will try to get it compressed and uploaded later today.

This is what stood out to me in that recap (great info by the way bro )

He mentioned how well Will Smith's season was, and went on to say he is going to work hard to get down to 275 and that he should have been there last season.

I think grant will be that much more effective if he was lighter. please stop making excuses about these guys gaining weight to conform to the scheme... that's crazy.

Its not an excuse. It is a fact. People have told you and others repeatedly yet you seem to think a man contracted to make 50mil doesn't have a target weight. Really, its very naive to think that Grant wasn't told at what weight to play.

Just think logically for a second. Meachem and Thomas came into camp overweight and out of shape. Peyton reamed them publicly for it and made no bones about his thoughts regarding their weight. Not one single solitary remark was made regarding Smith or Grant's weight.

Ask yourself why and then realize Grant reads this board and has a publicist that is telling him how he should handle himself. He's packaged and coached to man up and accept blame whether his or not. It makes him look good to say those things and looks are important.

I saw him a couple of weeks ago and he looks very slim.

OK bro... if you believe it then that's fine. I doubt players give a crap about what's being posted on an internet forum. hell.. there's actually a "fireseanpayton.com" website... I wonder how many hits that site get.

Grant wa sin pretty good shape at the beginning of the seaosn... as the seaosn went on it looked as though he had put on a few. Hell I remember all of the talk last offseason about how fit and lean our entire team was from Kenny W.

That's why I say that I don't buy it. Players aren't asked to gain weight DURING THE SEASON... plus he had an ankle injury... which limited him working out... and aided in his added weight gain.

I'm not calling anybody liars here man... I just don't buy it. If you believe it then that's how you feel... you're entitled to believe whatever you want.

We all want the same thing... and that's for the Saints to win the big one. IMHO I think both he and Smith can stand to lose a few.

I can't listen to the file for some reason but was wondering if he really was taking up for pacman jones. Anybody know for sure? I am hoping not.

 

[pukenbowl]

I think he made a comment about the draft as well.
He mentioned "CB from Troy State and the DL, the defensive Tiger"

I think Reggie mentioned something about the draft on his interview as well and mentioned Rivers.

It's interesting to here these things, but I'm not sure how much water these comments hold.

Sorry, he said Defensive Line not defensive tackle

 

[Rod-138]

Yeah CG says this every single season.

BUT

Asides from his sub par DE stats, I think he does lots of intangible things really well. CG chases downs lots of plays from behind and makes some pretty incredible tackles while being blocked.

He overachieves as a tackler and underachieves as a pass rusher!
