Just a four minute interview of Zach talking about the spring game and what he thinks the team can work on...

Warning: He starts the video off quite douchey but he reigns in his douche level as the interview wears on.

God, that entire video is unbearable. He answers every question with a smart-arse response.

Cliff notes?


"It's a Spring Game...fans and media put way too much whatever in spring games."

Q: What would you like to accomplish?
A: "Complete every ball and execute like we have been executing...our defense is really down right now but that doesn't matter...we need to execute like we are going against the Ravens."

"Getting more comfortable with the terminology and I think that has shown at the last scrimmage."

Q: How important is it for Quantavius Leslie to come in and work with you?
A: It would be huge if he can come in early to work with me and the timing."

No, I thought it was calculated and professional.

frick yeah that was douchey. What did you think it was?

I'm not really knocking him (they could've caught him at a bad time for the interview) but he treated the interview like someone was in Bogie's pestering him with these questions.

It is not what he said, it is how he said it. Again, I am not blasting him but if you can't see that he is taking the interview as a complete joke then you are one dense individual.

Agreed. I didn't listen to the whole thing but I didn't think he was being a smart arse. He obviously wasn't excited to do the interview but I think he was much more respectful than the some here make it sound.

To me I fully endorse us having a douchey/cocky QB. Anything that boosts his self-confidence is a-ok.

He doesn't like the media. I don't blame him and sure as hell don't hold it against him.

And I don't give a shite how he interviews as long as he throw 2-3 TDs a game and 250 or more yards a game.

The sarcasm is a direct reflection of the questions asked, which makes this a "filler" type of interview, AKA a waste of time for the interviewee.

Yes, he does.

Q. We saw the deep balls last year, so?
A. Oh yeah. That really worked out well last year.

Q. Is there going to be some new stuff thrown at y'all in August when you come back?
A. No. We've put in the whoooole offense right now. In two weeks of spring.

Q. (Paraphrasing) Are we going to see things like the RB's shifting out wide?
A. Are we on TV right now? Are we on ESPN? We're not? Oh, then....

I don't need him to sounds like Brees or Peyton. I'd just like him to come across as less of a smart-arse.

Amen, but if you do want to critique interviews, compare it to an Eric Reid, Morris Claiborne or Keke Mingo interview and yeah... douchey might be the impression your left with. Personally don't care, actions speak louder than words so if he leave it all on the field then that speaks more to who he is.
