NFL Network: Derrick Johnson on "Taking down the champs "
 

Was very cagey about Haley-v-Crennel and whether Crennel should be permanent HC [mos prob out of deference to management], but had no compunction about mentioning 3x how nice it was for the offense to stay on the field for a while.

exactly....I'd say he was overly happy that we didn't have captain checkdown and the three and out gang on offense to help the d get their rest

Too many "aaahhhh's"

I counted 78 "uh's and ah's" in less than 3 minutes of interview. Holy shit man, you need to work on interviews. You're a borderline star now (just needs to get in the media now.)

Yeah because that's what's important.

I thought he did a nice job. He gave a bunch of credit to GB, which is necessary. He also seemed to show a lot of maturity which he didn't have in earlier interviews.

Good interview. You can tell he's not comfortable talking in front of a camera.

He's always been like that.

I think he just didn't know what to say about the whole coaching situation. It's an expected question, but you don't want to just sell a guy out on national tv. (Haley I mean)

[Sammy Parker] yeah, too many Uhs, no what I am saying, and too many, ahs, you know what I am saying. He just needs to talk, you know what I am saying, like he would talk, know what I am saying. He needs some credit, know what I am saying, for not, uh, saying you know what I am saying like 50 Times. Know what I am saying? [/Sammy Parker]

lol i know people who talk with the uh's alot. Its like their pause for thinking what to say next. lol

No need to be reeruned about this jsp. I'm not saying he should skip workouts to learn how to talk without sounding like an 5 year old describing what she did at school today.

It's an interview. Athletes learn how to give them without sounding stupid. The best athletes practice speaking because they're the ones that are asked to do interviews.

It's a lot less distracting to pause without saying anything than it is to fill the void with an Um or Ah.
