Gettleman's post-draft press conference - video

I love Gettleman with all of my football soul

26 minutes of Gettleman.   I love it

[ColumbusCounty]

If this was a two hour presser I would most likely have listened from start to finish. 

All skepticism I had is gone. Might be back two days from now but at the moment I'm good.

P.S.... Keyarris and Cash also filled my draft void although I reeeeeeally wanted Cravens.... Now I'm off to get a Milkshake.

Funny how this one guy has changed our whole belief system in just 3 years.  Wish he was 35 years old.

Go get 'em Getts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

oh man, that "when big people call someone else big, you know he's big" quote is an all-timer.

I have a feeling we're going to eventually sign a veteran punter.

Hope he never leaves. What a brilliant mind.

I really appreciate his honesty when talking about other corners taken before the two we drafted not even being on our board because they didn't fit our scheme.

the nnamdi example he gave was perfect. 

Pundits and some people don't understand that teams' board are a lot smaller because we throw away all the 3-4 defensive players and scheme misfits. But it was educational when he talked about the corners and how he evaluates.

He was throwing some indirect shade to the Giants. They drafted Apple with 10th pick while he's a man corner who struggles in off coverage while they're a zone defensive team.

I laughed at DG saying he doesn't pay attention to the outside noise and the pundits, doesn't read stuff... then he talks about how the 2014 draft got such a low grade, but then in a "re-draft" 4 of them were 1st round picks....!  So much for not paying attention!!!  LOL. 

lol I was just watching that and came here to make a new thread just to point that out.  Glad I checked first :)  Made me laugh. 

Dave really is great at reassuring us amateur GMs that he knows wtf he's doing.  I do feel better about our picks after watching this video.  Making it clear that drafting ALL THE CBs was about establishing stability in the secondary because he recognized that we've just been rotating old guys since he got here was good to hear.

Anyone who has remotely questioned this draft needs to watch this video.

Gettleman knows his stuff, this isn't obvious cliche poo he is saying, he is going in depth.

His point about Nnamdi Asomugha in particular was very important.

"At the end of the day, we're not bringing in dumb guys. We're not gonna do it.  I don't care how talented they are, cuz by the time they figure it out, you know, Ron and I get fired."

I'm man-crushing on da Godfaddah right now... lol.

[SCPantherFan90]

Man, are we lucky to have this guy at GM or what?

[TheSpecialJuan]

Loved this presser.  especially the part in which he gives the reason why Nnamdi Asomugha failed in Philly.

Gettleman talking about his milkshake makes me think of There Will Be Blood. I could see him in a room with the other NFC South GMs and he just says "I take your milk shake and drink it up". We haven't lost the division since he arrived.
