49ers Douchenozzle Safety Eric Reid Hangs Up On Dan Patrick For Asking About Getting Toldozed

Was just watching The Dan Patrick Show and he was asking some questions that you could sense were making Reid a bit uncomfortable. Per usual, when asked about players they'd be facing against the Seahawks, Reid gave extremely generic answers as if he might divulge too much if he did otherwise. He continued with generic answers and Patrick kept pressing with uncomfortable questions served with a side of jovial laughter, to loosen Reid up, as Patrick usually does (and does well I might add).

Well, Patrick started asking more pressing questions because the interview was quickly becoming a vanilla trainwreck... he then asks, did Reid close his eyes when he has to tackle bigger guys. Reid says he'd be lying if he said he didn't close his eyes on EVERY tackle. Patrick asked, who was the ONE guy he knew it would hurt when he had to tackle him. Reid's responses started getting more and more delayed and generic. Long pauses before replying... it got to where it felt like any answer Reid would give to the round of questions would make him less manly and look like a punnani to his peers... you could sense it was going bad fast.

So, Patrick says, what about the Tolbert hit? Reid snaps back quicker than before, and with attitude, "WHAT ABOUT IT?!?!" Patrick says, what does that one feel like? What are you thinking when that happens?

...long pause...

As a viewer/listener, you really wonder what's going on and why he hasn't said anything. He paused for a few questions before that were awkward (like asking about Harbaugh's Wal-Mart pants lol), but he eventually responded, albeit generically. So, you still expect him to answer.

The pause is the longest yet...

Patrick breaks the silence and says, "like that? That's what it was like?" It became clear Reid had hung up on him. Patrick's producer scrambled to call him back, and with the phone to ear and finger rapidly dialing numbers, Patrick says laughingly, "Don't... don't... let it go... " One of the other producers humorously quips, "I'm not talking trousers or concussions."

And yet, another victim of the TOLDOZER is revisited.

That's also why I didnt feel bad in the least for Reid when he got Toldozed. What a dick... have a sense of humor about it.

Most guys would laugh it off and say "yeah, I got trucked, it happens"... at least that's the mature way to handle it.

Maybe he has a bit of an ego.

That would be my approach. Laugh it off and make light of it for the sake of public perception. But, it felt like the whole interview he was extremely guarded as though any answer he might give that gives credit to an opponent would degrade himself in the process. It was really weird.

Exactly, I mean it happened and we all saw it - his daddy even wrote the Panthers a note thanking Tolbert for kneeling next to his baby boy after he trucked his sorry ass, so not talking about it won't make people forget it happened. 

 

Kid sounds like a douche, but he plays for the 49ers so none of us should be surprised. 

 

GO SEAHAWKS.

I got blasted pretty good a few times when I played.  Heck, had a guy take a run and spear me right in the chest when a play was pretty much over.  Knocked the wind right outta me.

 

I laugh about those stories now. 

 

Most football players aren't afraid or ashamed to talk about times when they were on the losing end of something,  Heck, you'll hear Hall of Fame guys tell stories like that all the time.  It happens to the best of them.

 

If he's so insecure that he's embarrassed about it, that's on him.

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
