Vince Young to be on 610 am at 9am!!!!!

Big B Texan Fan

John and Lance reported that Vince will be on the show from 9-10 tomorrow morning. Now does this mean the whole hour or are they targeting him for a 15 min segment between 9-10? I don't know but I think it's the whole hour.

Let's use this thread to ask him some questions. I'm sure some of you guys/gals out there know Granato or Lance personally so just ask them to visit the MB's and come to this thread for some questions. Heck, I'm not too sure that some of you posters aren't John and Lance.

I'll go 1st: ***(Please try to keep to keep this thread alive by not ruining it with stupid qustions plz)*** Try to avoid the obvious question you know he'll get asked.

What is your 40 time on grass?/Are you planning to do the full workout schedule at the combine?

Thanks for the heads up. I barely get the signal where I live. But I will be listening.:)

They have an online stream: http://www.sportsradio610.com/default.asp

Look on the side: "Listen Live"


And my question: How bad do you wanna play for Houston?
If he answers that with the answer "badly," "i'll give anything," etc., he puts all the pressure in the world on the Texans...
 
I'd ask him:

1) What he thinks he needs to do differently to become an NFL type QB.

2) What are his feelings about being under center compared to all-shotgun?

3) Would he mind sitting and learning for a year or two.

Dang, my work blocks the 610 internet feed. I hope someone will do a nice write-up of the interview afterwards!
 
:listening how about: do you honestly feel the Texans would be upgrading the QB position if you where selected and give reasons why?
 
How about what he thinks of the Rockets taking home town favorite Hakeem Olajuwan and getting two Championships compared to taking Michael Jordan who had six?
 
Would he consider a slash role his first couple of years here while learning the nuances of NFL quarterbacking?
 
Are the following rumors true?
(ignore the fact that the rumors come from another post on this site and that it is meant as a joke)

When Vince Young does a push up, he isn't lifting himself up, he's pushing the earth down.

Vince Young is the first man to ever defeat a brick wall in a game of tennis.

In fine print at the end of the Guinness Book of World Record it states that Vince Young actually holds every world record, and those previously listed are just the closest anyone has ever gotten.

Superman owns a pair of Vince Young pajamas.

Vince Young can set ants on fire with a magnifying glass. At night.

Vince Young has counted to infinity. Twice. (my favorite)

He can't get sick because he is immune to everything, especially a pass rush.

Vince Young was once involved in a head-on car crash, and he was the only survivor. Vince Young was walking at the time.

Vince has learned 23 different languages just by listening to the last words of his victims.

Vince Young can beat aquaman in the 400m butterfly.

Vince Young is the only person in history to break out from wonder womans magic lasso.

Vince Young put sugar in speed racers gas tank.

Hellen Kellers favorite color is Vince Young.

Vince Young is actually left handed, but he is so powerful, if he threw with his good arm he would burn holes through his recievers. So he throws with his weak arm, at only 30 percent strength.

Vince Youngs tears can cure cancer....to bad he's never cried.

Vince Young did indeed build Rome in a day.

In ancient aramaic, Vince Young actually mean "saves bad coaches."

Jesus walked on water. Moses split the Red Sea. Vince Young did both before he came out of the womb, then he roundhoused Jesus and Moses.

When Vince Young picks up a football, the U.S. Terror Alert Level is raised to gold.

When 72 virgins die and go to heaven, they are rewarded with Vince Young.

Vince Young created Himself in the image of Himself.

VY sold his soul to the devil for his rugged good looks and unparalleled football skills. Shortly after the transaction was finalized, Vince juked the devil out of his horns and took his soul back. The devil, who appreciates irony, couldn't stay mad and admitted he should have seen it coming. They now play poker every second Wednesday of the month.

When the Boogeyman goes to sleep every night he checks his closet for VY.

VY can touch MC Hammer.

A Handicap parking sign does not signify that this spot is for handicapped people. It is actually in fact a warning, that the spot belongs to VY and that you will be handicapped if you park there.

The sun doesn't actually rise or set. VY simply claps twice.

Achilles was supposedly the greatest warrior of all time, but he died because of his weak spot, the Achilles tendon. There is no VY tendon. You do the math.
 
OMG Vince just said that Carr needs to move around quicker and get rid of the ball quicker! Note to Cass...Sign Riley to a 5 year deal put him at LT, keep McKinney at C, Wade at RT, draft Young with the 1st pick, and we'll see what he says in 2-3 years...

He said "sometimes" which is true.
 
VY said that its not what you do on the field with your O-line, but what goes on off the field that's most important. He used to hang out with the O-line a bunch and take them out to lunch.

Cambell used to buy Rolexes for his linemen as well. Just thought I would bring that up since we want to bring his name into all of this...

Well Vince needs to realize this is the NFL, he has not played a down in this league. He also needs to realize that he played behind a helluva a line at UT, he had all day behind that line. Let him play behind our line for a season and see what he says.

I think our O line needs to be buying Carr steaks and Rolexes...

I look it as a symbiotic relationship that did not work for either party. The line was not good enough to bail out Carr and Carr was not good enough to bail out the Line. They are both overpaid.
 
Dang, what an unfortunate time not to be a UT grad. This sentimental
journey down memory lane about all the UT games, opponents, gosh
I'm almost in tears. I'd be sobbing, I'm sure, had I gone to UT even a
single semester.
 
I don't mind Vince being drafted...but I don't like the tone of his comments. Until he has ever taken an NFL snap he should reserve judgement...I guess I'm old fashion.

How does a QB "bail out" an offensive line? I thought the purpose of the offensive line was to protect the QB?

I guess before you shell out the dough you should 1st respect the other party...this seems to be lacking. Maybe new lineman or a new...nevermind...
 
I missed part of that, is it right that he is having a relative/buddy of his being his agent?????

Because it is easy to work the contracts in the NFL???

Hmmm, maybe he should talk to T.O. and Ricky Williams about that.

Hope it works out for him.

No penalties, goes the extra "yard" and finds a man to block, Center calls the right audible, picks up the QB off the ground after a sack, run.

I thought he had the same agent as Steve McNair.

I think it's his uncle or cousin who is his agent, and the more I listen to Young the less I want him here...

That's what I thought too.

But then when they introduced him on air, it was a different name. I dint catch it cuz I had other stuff going on.

Thanks Fiddy... from Sunny San Diego!
"VY- from declaring going pro news conference... regaring MONEY,MONEY,MONEY and earning it and not complaining... Would you have your contract be based on incentive goals to show management your potentials, rather then upfront money?

Go Texans!:redtowel:

All great QB's help out their line and help them by sliding in the pocket. Every lineman has their back to the QB and if you don't have a clue where the QB is then the only people that know where he is is the QB and the DEFENSIVE player...not the lineman. Time and time again I have seen Carr move to a spot where it is impossible for the lineman to make up the ground to get between him and the defender.

I have the same urge when I see you post about Carr and hate on Young.

:tv:
 
Vince said he wants to be a Texan. (obvious statement of the day) When asked if the Texans don't take him and if he goes to the Titans: I'll look forward to the Texans games every year! (paraphrase)

Scary! :eek:

That being said, I still haven't made up my mind for the pick. Vince sure is convincing though! He will be a winner in the NFL.

I dunno. He's funny and seemed pretty football saavy.

The problem with having someone inexperienced work on contractual issues is that they often are insecure with what they know and don't know, and can slow things up because they don't want to be taken advantage of.

That being said, teams have taken advantage of inexperienced relative agents before.

And sometimes that sort of thing works out OK.

He and his relatives would make more money (endorsements etc) with a quality agent though.
 
Not that I am advocating VY to Texans, but I was impressed how he constantly said that he has tried to keep himself surrounded by the right people and in the right situations.

I can understand a QB helping out, I just can't understand a QB bailing out an offensive line. I was thinking he meant by picking up a block missed by the O line or something, I think I am just trying to read too much into stuff now on no sleep...:dontknowa

And work hard.

The diference between MJ and other talented athletes is that he kept working on improving himself.

Just about every time he talks, he talks about the importance of hard work.

Andre Johnson did it and I don't think he has been hurt by it.
