The man doesn't speak. I know that's partly what makes him ideal. But seriously...that man does not talk.

Kirkpatrick was quoted as saying …"we suck" .
Will say that believe WJIII is going to be a good one and has been the recipient of a couple bad calls.

The ideal player for a football coach. Belichick would probably give up his whole draft for someone like Geno. I know Jim O was happy that he got an interview out of Geno recently, but it was still just one word answers. I don't think we'll ever hear from Geno once he retires.
You can always trust an dishonest man to be dishonest. Honestly, it's the honest ones you have to look out for.

Yeah he's been very intentional about keeping a low profile. Can't say I blame him. Just means he's humble and has his priorities straight. Success hasn't gone to his head. What a perfect player in every way.

Have to go to work but will add that Whitworth was more important than just his blocking.
The offense lined up a few feet in front of me for their final drive down 4 points.
They just stood there somber with nobody taking the leadership role by breathing fire and brimstone to hold players accountable, or at least pumping each other up, or even giving instructions.
Have never seen this before when the game is within reach at such a point of the game.
Leaders do not grow on trees nor do solid LT's.

Geno's one sack was vicious !
Yet enjoyed watching him run down Watson from behind even more.
Just do not see DT's run down a mobile QB like Watson often.

Our QB did that a few years ago and a vast majority of people on the mothership called him a quitter

Yeah, wasn't that great?
One guy isn't enough, sadly even the franchise QB. Now if several players approached management and demanded some changes, then we'd have something.
Pipe dream, I know. But I'd love it
