gangreenman Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 New York Post writer Mark Cannizzaro had lunch with Eric Mangini on Tuesday in Palm Beach at the owners meetings, and here is what Mangini had to say - "The thing that's very positive is this year is different, and what happened last year we're going to learn from but it's not going to control what happens this year. It's like the year before didn't control what happened this past year. "I realize that I said that a lot, but it's because I believe in it. I said it right after the New England game [the playoff loss at the end of the 2006 season] that this is a nice year for us, but we don't start at 10-6 [in 2007]. "The natural tendency is to feel like everything is in place and now you take the next step. "I've got to do a much better job. Part of that is continuing to develop relationships with the players and incorporating more of their insight into the process. We have a lot of really smart veteran players and it's important to have that good dialogue. Everyone working toward that same goal." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's GOT to be able to actually listen to his veteran players and use their input. Maybe TC will be a little easier this year. I know Coles would like that.

Arsis Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Bad idea, He has a noodle brain. You know with all the concussions and stuff. Oh I thought it was because his IQ was two standard deviations below the mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McLovin Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 I really like seeing our coach taking accountability and doing what is necessary to improve from their mistakes and make this team better. Say what you will, I really like Mangini. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyCarl40 Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 I don't know if I am more surprised by the fact that Mangini would be so revealing or that Canizzaro could listen and eat at the same time. Methinks he had a tape recorder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
