Head Coach Matt LaFleur introductory press conference

[pacmaniac]

One weird thing I noticed about him, it's how easy it is to read his lips. If you watch his press conference and leave the volume off, you basically can read his lips and know exactly what he's saying.. Not sure if looking too much into it, but you know the other teams are looking for any edge and could have people read his lips when calling plays if he doesn't cover his mouth

Wait, are we talking about Murphy or MLF?

My brain is reading this as **** and then I have to go straight to the **** sites.

I know, I'm not the most eloquent speaker at times myself, and I am an instructor for a living. there are times when it sounds like i forgot to put my teeth in in the morning(bit of a scottish saying for someone getting a bit tongue-tied whilst speaking



didn't notice that one

I didn't mean to sound like I was bashing him. I'm not the worlds best speaker either. When I first started teaching high school biology you could have gotten pretty hammered if you took a shot every time I said "basically." Luckily most of my students were not into that yet though there were a few I was not to sure about.

Ha ha... I could care less if the new coach is attractive or not. As long as he can coach. But to me it stood out too much that his lips were very easy to read

You posted before me Yooper (I almost said you beat me to it but given the subject matter that probably wasn't the best choice of words)

I actually posted but deleted it.

Matt LaFleur did an interview with Adam Schein of Mad Dog Sports Radio. I haven't listen to the full audio yet, but Schein according to some tweets was blown away by LaFleur.

Said that he was impressive. Loved what he had to say about working with Rodgers, McVay, Shanahans, the Packers brass, and the great fans & tradition.

He thinks LaFleur is going to be great calling the plays for Rodgers.

Schein is also a huge Nathaniel Hackett fan. A small snippet was posted on twitter. He asked LaFleur about him, he says that he is absolutely "on our radar", impressed with his body of work. When asked about Pettine and the defensive staff, he said he had a chance to sit down with Pettine and that they are on the same page, that he's excited to move forward with him, and he believes there will be big strides from year 1 to year 2. Likes the idea of continuity between him and the players.

LaFleur also likes that Pettine has been a head coach in the past, and that at times he might lean on Mike or utilize his advice in certain areas.

Liking what I'm hearing overall. Can't wait to get an opportunity to listen to the interview in its entirety.

When's the last time you saw a coach talking without holding the play sheet in front of his mouth?

Philbin the last 4 games of the season. The voices calling the game made a big deal out of it the first time.

Aha, maybe THAT helps explain their play. Seriously, I always find it a bit amusing, if we're talking about playcalling. I find it hard to believe that somebody could read lips, then get that info to the defenders in time.

my overused word is obviously, i say it way too much in class. i sometimes feel sorry for some of my pupils, then i remember they're getting paid way more than i am, and i get over it

 

[Poppa San]

my overused word is obviously

Obviously McCarthy used obviously quite a bit. Obviously his obvious assistants obviously used it also. Some reporters obviously used it later on too, obviously. I obviously never counted the obvious use of obviously nor obviously did shots with it.
