This is Gross: Mike Mitchell

Good episode that sheds some light on Mitchell.  

 

 

Topics

 

-Family and upbringing

 

-High school, college, and the draft

 

-Being on the Raiders and lack of opportunities

 

-How the locker room and team environment is like being back in high school... everybody has each others back and feels like a family.  

 

-Talked about developing a relationship with Cam and letting him know as long as he doesn't turn the ball over he's got him ain't no way the opposing offense is dropping points on them.

 

-Rumor that Gross started that he can't return a pick for a TD.  Mike accepted the challenge.

 

-Explains his celebration and compares it to the Highlander when they're absorbing the power.  Says it gets him fired up.

 

 

He also brings up that he tries to keep giving pumping positive vibes on the sideline when things get down, said that some people (who wouldn't be named) had a "Here we go again..." attitude towards the end of games and said we can't have that and pointed to the comebacks we had in the 49ers, Patriots, and Dolphins game.

 

Lol, also said he's gonna start giving interviews like a Ric Flair promo.  Might explain him calling out the Saints and Drew Brees a couple weeks ago and "YOU GOTTA PLAY US!" thing.

 

Looks like Mike Mitch might be a big part of the turnaround this season.  Definitely seems like a huge boost to the locker room.

I liked it!

Personally thought that fact that he says the team feels like it did back in High School... friends, everyone gets along and everyone has everyone's back was pretty cool!

 

The Wrestler style interviews part was funny. But, I hope it doesn't get like that. I feel that might be like Clinton Postris' costumes... and just get old quick. lol

Really hope Mitchell sticks around.

His passion reminds me of Lewis/reed. Glad he's on our team

great interview. "20 years from now I'll have all these awesome recorded conversations with my teammates from the year we won the Superbowl" - Jordan Gross

[SpeedOFLight]

Sweet! I'm glad that we have passionate people on this team and that David G. brought in some new blood. The mentality of this team has changed and I am loving it. Mitchell is definitely a keeper on this team. I loved when he said, " You Gotta Play Us!". Bring it!

This interview alone should give Mitchell an extention.

Oh yeah and bc he is a bad man.

Can't say enough good things about Mitchell.

I'm ordering his Jersey today! (SCP please don't buy his jersey)

Additionally, there were some moments in the Dolphins game where I could have used him in my living room for positive reinforcement, and getting rid of my whole "here we go again" attitude.

This dudes a natural born leader. He'll have a "C" on his chest next year

Thanks guys I preciate the love

Best part was Jordan @ 25 minutes or so in with him talking about how dumb it would be for him to dance or something after a great play vs. the skill guys

[bleys]

sounds like he shouldn't be too hard to re-sign in the offseason...

Really like listening to these.  I liked hearing about Mike.  Sounds like he had a good family - probably contributes to him being a leader.  Gotta re-sign this guy, he's a future captain on that defense.
