Interview with Jim Trotter of Sports Illustrated
NFLShouts @NFLShouts Hey Jim let me start by thanking you for taking the time to join us, I am very excited to have you here!
10/9/2009 4:50 PM
NFLShouts @NFLShouts Let me kick things off with Mark Sanchez who has been in the news a lot since the season started. It was good until now.
10/9/2009 5:02 PM
NFLShouts @NFLShouts Was it all hype until now? Or he'll bounce back? His passer rating was 27.0, threw for 138yards, 17/27, 3INT and 1 fumble.
jim_trotter @NFLShouts sorry, trying to work out the kinks on my end. we should be on the same page now.
10/9/2009 5:05 PM
NFLShouts @NFLShouts alright, I know Flacco had a horrible game last year as well but he ended up deep into the playoffs, think the Jets have a shot?
10/9/2009 5:06 PM
jim_trotter @NFLShouts absolutely. any time you can run the football and keep opponents out of the end zone, you have a shot. nyj will be a contender
10/9/2009 5:07 PM
NFLShouts @jim_trotter last week you were at the Broncos game, are they truly a 4-0 team or just luck of the schedule?
10/9/2009 5:08 PM
jim_trotter @NFLShouts denver is for real. sound off'ly, aggressive def'ly. it doesn't beat itself. starting 2 believe in itself.
10/9/2009 5:11 PM
NFLShouts @NFLShouts what abou tthe Giants, another 4-0 team BUT we have the Eli injury now too?
NFLShouts @NFLShouts do you think his injury will affect them at all?
10/9/2009 5:13 PM
jim_trotter @NFLShouts not this week. but if it were longterm, the giants would be in trouble. carr not the answer. nyg might have best DL in league.
10/9/2009 5:15 PM
NFLShouts @jim_trotter did you catch the MNF game between the Packers and the Vikings? Favre had a career game, could he win a a ring as a Viking?
10/9/2009 5:17 PM
jim_trotter @NFLShouts sure he could. having that running game takes a lot of pressure off him. but it's a long season. let's see where he is @ 12 games
10/9/2009 5:19 PM
NFLShouts @jim_trotter another QB who is doing great this year is Drew Brees. Are they Superbowl contenders in your books?
10/9/2009 5:20 PM
jim_trotter @NFLShouts absolutely. all they were missing was a defense. they have that now. they will be tough as long as they're healthy.
10/9/2009 5:25 PM
NFLShouts @NFLShouts a hot topic right now (after the Brady incident) is if QBs are too protected by the league, what's your view on that topic?
jim_trotter @NFLShouts yes, there are too many rules for qbs. but they're considered the $$-makers, so i understand. but i don't like it.
10/9/2009 5:35 PM
NFLShouts @NFLShouts does that take away from the game tho? football is a physical game, everyone loves a good sack!
jim_trotter @NFLShouts there is fear that the game suffers without capable qbs. it does. but it's a violent game by nature.
10/9/2009 5:38 PM
NFLShouts @jim_trotter let me bring this a little closer to home, what do you think about the AJ Smith vs. Shawne Merriman spat? are you on a side?
10/9/2009 5:39 PM
jim_trotter @NFLShouts i'm on the side that says team issues should be dealt with internally.
10/9/2009 5:41 PM
NFLShouts @jim_trotter with you 100% I am still surprised his thoughts were so public!
NFLShouts @jim_trotter which game are you most looking forward to this week?
10/9/2009 5:42 PM
jim_trotter @NFLShouts i'm at indy-tenn. intrigued with broncos-pats and sf-atl. also wondering how big of a train wreck oak-nyg will be.
10/9/2009 5:45 PM
NFLShouts @NFLShouts do we have an Indy - Titans piece to look forward to? when can we look forward to it?
10/9/2009 5:46 PM
jim_trotter @NFLShouts it's more a titans piece. will run next week.
10/9/2009 5:48 PM
NFLShouts @jim_trotter Thank you again for taking the time, I really appreciate it, hope you will join us again soon! Enjoy the game...
jim_trotter @NFLShouts my pleasure!
