Player Reaction to Coach Rivera Hire

[ladypanther]

Not sure King can be a #2 on a team that believes TE's are important as something other than O linemen or good for a 2 yd pass.

Found a certain amount of irony in Jeff King being asked...

Could thay not have found anybody else to interview

[Seamonk]

They always ask Jeff King though.. and he always says something..

I hear a lot of people talk about Barnidge maybe being the 1, but I watch every snap of every game and I swear I've yet to see him. It's always Rosario for a big play or King for a short TD. Barnidge? Nowhere to be found. Am I just that blind?

[Eazy-E]

Barnidge had a 50 yard catch in the preseason. I think Clausen threw it as well.

King looks kind of like 'why the f**k are you asking me, I'm a free agent.'

[Mr. Scot]

I just watched it & King looks like Rivera just put him on his poo list. IMO there is only going to be 1 TE out of the 3 that makes it. My guess is barnidge but who knows?

Nothing against him, but every time I've ever seen him talk, he's looked like he just got put on someone's @#%& list.

He just has one of those personas, I think.

Are you guys using King and "shitlist" as a pun???

[Mr. Scot]

Me? No.

(can't speak for anyone else)

I don't recall ever seeing a King interview recently so, maybe that's the case lol

I met King during the off season after his rookie year. In fact, he had just given (sold) 87 back to Moose and was planning the switch to 47. Seemed about the same. We talked about Jake's hurt elbow at the time. Dude doesn't show much emotion, but was polite and didn't mind taking some time to talk. I'm a fan, but since his contract is up I'd be surprised to see him back.

I do think King has a better shot at coming back than Rosario though...but it's more a gut feeling than anything educated I guess.
