Really good interview.  Said KB reminds him of a young Plexico Burress and that he made some "OMG catches in mini-camp."

A "young Plexico Burress" aint good! He dropped a lot of balls his first few years in Pittsburgh!

definitely.  I hope KB doesn't shoot himself in the leg.

[ZeroZeroSeven]

Maybe he meant a younger NY Giants version of Plaxico. He was pretty darn good.

Double post

Nothing wrong with being a young Plax. He went over the 1000 yard total in years 2 and 3. Year 1 he didn't do much but KB will get alot more opportunities than Plax did year 1, atleast I hope so.

I like what he said about the cap.  We'll be ok sooner rather than later.

[top dawg]

Like Gettleman was making a negative comparison.  Just stop.

I'm not going to be ready to fully judge Kb. If he stays healthy he will be a source for years to come learning from proehl

Plaxxico was a great football player. Even if he didn't have Calvin Johnson numbers, he did a great job for the Steelers and Giants. Even with the Jets he caught TDs.

Minus the stupidity.

Does he mean we will not be giving hardy a massive contract or cutting our rbs or both?

Really great interview. You can't help but root for DG with how open and honest he is about every aspect of his job and our team. His transparency to the public (and of course in-house) plus his scouting talent are a great combination. And it's not that he's the goat GM, but he certainly has all the abilities to be a positive tool vs a puppet for an owner.
