Clayton likes DJ

redfan · 08-05-2005, 10:32 AM

On ESPN last night.
He said DJ was the new D player in the NFL that caught his eye. Said he should make a big impact, esp is his rookie season.

I bring this up 'cuz Clayton is one of the few media guys I actually trust.
No pressure, DJ!! Just do what you do!!

I like John Clayton... even though he's a mega wimp.

I don't really see how anyone actually knows how he is a wimp other then his physical appearance. It is pretty obvious that how he interacts with the other guy on ESPN, Salisbury, is just a gimmick. Steve Buscemi looks like a twig, but he is a former NY firefighter, and while other celebrities were fleeing NY after 9/11 he volunteered with his former unit and helped clear Ground Zero.

On the other hand, I really like Clayton too. He usually seems to have good takes that make sense when he explains them.

That's all I was saying.

I listen to Clayton more than Salsbury. At least Clayton is typically right on the money. Salsbury is always wrong with his predictions. Always. And when Clayton calls him out on it, he just belittles him.

I'd rather be a wimp and right all the time, than a bully and wrong all the time.

Salisbury is one of those guys that thinks being loud makes him good. I think he's a complete tool generally.

I love to see Clayton kick him in the nuts one day. I'd pay to see it.

i thought all these talking heads were full of hot air and just trying to get attention?

i guess it depends on whether they say what ya want to hear or not.

I'd say 95% are that way.

But this guy (and his face fer radio) is a pretty straight shooter. I've never disagreed w/ anything he's said.

Poor Laz...it's his worst time of the year.

No, that's just Mortensen , and Hodge that talk out their ass before getting the full story.

DJ's speed and coverage ability give Gun the kind of matchup problems Saunders has with Gonzo on offense. He can take away any TE 1vs1 and, if he learns to use his hands well, could cover a lot of WRs. DJ's coverage ability will allow Gun to use more complicated and better disguised coverages. Same with blitz packages.

Fors sure, Clayton and Jaws are the only two people I actually believe. Especially Clayton, as Jaws can sometimes talk out of his ass as well.

IT'S THE BIG.... FIG.... NEEEEWWWWTONNN!

Yea!

The chopped steak guy (Salsbury) is just so dang annoying. I love how quick he plays the "I played and you didn't" card when Clayton calls him on his carp. I'll take Jaws any day over chopped steak guy.
