Dino's Week 1 Presser 11:30

[GoCuse08]

Who the hell asked about Kaeperneck and the National Anthem? I thought Babers was going to pop a vein.

Did someone really ask him that? Did they also ask him his opinion on Obamacare, Foreign Policy and who he plans on voting for in the presidential election?

 

[JeremyCuse]

Perhaps a kid like Jonathan Thomas can become a safety? He's 6'2 200lbs, and can run... I mean gotta add some more bodies back there stat with the injuries we've already had.

Perhaps Rodney Williams will be available soon which would then give us 5 safeties assuming no other injuries between now and then. Obviously Clarke is thought to be out for the season.

Yep. He stared at the ceiling with a "what the hell kind of question is that" smile on his face for what seemed like 10 seconds or so, and then said "All I'll say is there is a difference between playing in the NFL and playing in college" (or something like that).

 

[Deano]

If it's a class or SAT scores, he can go to Prep school. If it's more than that, it's JUCO.

Let's hope it's a class. Would love to see the kid here next season then.

In fairness, he also said that it was a fantastic question.

It is a difficult issue.

I appreciate Kaepernick's sincerity, but his demonstration will probably not accomplish much, and he has caused himself a lot of grief - personal and professional.

I wish him the best.

He was being measured in what he said. Didn't take that look or smile like that at all.

Babers knows everything he says is under a microscope. Which I, quite frankly, appreciate.

He's not to Marrone levels of dull and boredom, but he's close. And that is perfectly fine.

I thought he showed his experience. You can tell this guy has been a head coach before. I don't know if he's had to deal with this much media, but he's dealt with a fair amount as the head coach of a team for the last 4 years in 2 different cities.

This is not his first time doing any of this. Shafer was way over his head with the media part of things.
