 Team keep it clean. What's going on the same grave and hit with another video and in this video Pete Carroll? he was on a conference call today and He talked about his dealings with one Colin Kaepernick And he talked about how a team actually reached out to him today To ask about Colin Kaepernick. So before we get into my thoughts, let's see exactly what Pete Carroll said He said so I know somebody's interested and we'll see what happens with that I thought the irony of that was crazy because I knew I was coming on this press conference And you guys are going to ask me a million questions about this. I got a phone call today for the first time He said Kaep called me during the 2016 season before that off season And he called me he called out of the blue to ask me for some advice about where he would go next I was flattered that he would even think to call me because we never talked before other than just You know greetings and so from that point I was kind of rooting for him and hoping that things would work out And so I forgot about it when it came back around and we had a chance to visit with him and it came up I was thinking this is an incredible football player Let's find out if it can possibly fit football wise and all that and then also because he hadn't visited anywhere yet Maybe this would help him and open up doors for him if our thing didn't work out. We had great meetings I don't know that I've ever explained it in much in as much depth But we spent half a day together He spent time with all people throughout the building and he was awesome He just backed up even more of what we had seen in the character and in his smarts in his togetherness And his competitiveness to the point where it was so obvious that he's a starter in the NFL He was a dominant figure as a football player and that's how we saw him the fact that didn't work out I figured he was going to wind up starting somewhere for sure and it just didn't happen So the rest of the story is one that I regret that didn't happen in some fashion I wish we would have contributed to it because again he deserved to play I thought at that time and just in our situation as a backup man I didn't feel it like it was right at that time. So I had to make that football decision It was about our team in the situation We had our starting quarterback and all of that and it wasn't going to be the open competitive situation that I like to think All of our spots are because russell is such a dominant figure and all that that's what happened When you look back, I felt like we missed the opportunity. I wish we could have figured that out knowing what we know now I wish we had given him the chance because I would love to see him play for all these years so uh Pete Carroll Let it be known that he wishes that he would have given Collin Kaepernick the opportunity And it does make sense because again, I think Collin Kaepernick would have been a really good fit in that seahawks offense And russell wilson it would have just been nice to have somebody like Kaepernick as a backup He did mention that he didn't feel like Kaepernick was a backup and that Kaepernick was a starter Okay, understood. But at the same time, he did mention something that was very significant Which is also very true. He says he feels like uh, if he would have signed Kaepernick Even if Kaepernick didn't start then it could have opened up doors For carlin Kaepernick and opened up Possible opportunities for him Moving forward because we've all seen it plenty of times when A qb they may seem like their career is over it may seem like their career is a wrap It may seem like their career is done But then they just get a chance Even if they come on as a backup they get a shot And in a little bit of time even if they don't start the whole season Even if they just start for a little bit they show little flashes here and there They end up getting an opportunity Look at teddy bridge water last year for example A lot of people thought oh this dude former vikings. I think what second round pick Oh man, his legs are shot. He ain't gonna do nothing. Yeah, that's he going to the saints as a backup He ain't gonna do nothing So he went to the saints for one year as a backup and then stayed an additional year as a backup Drew breeze had his thumb injury teddy bridge water went in and then boom Started five games won five games and he was decent in those five games He got more comfortable and got better as each game passed And now he got like a 60 million dollar contract for three years and he's a starting quarterback with the panthers So all some people just need Is an opportunity And p carol says he regrets not having given carlin kapanik that opportunity um, and He also did mention That somebody called him today About carlin kapanik. He said he wasn't going to say who it was So they would remain anonymous Respect that okay cool But the fact that somebody called him About a workout that happened three years ago with carlin kapanik A question keeps coming up if if people think that carlin kapanik is going to get a chance in the nfl again Um, and i'm very torn on it. Um, the reason that i'm torn on it is because I just don't know Uh, if if teams would be willing to do that I don't know but because before um carlin kapanik, I mean either way Both before the time that we living in right now and even before Um, carlin kapanik would bring a lot of attention to your team so You would need to have a uh a strong pr Um, and just a strong locker room presence as well if you want to take on one carlin kapanik Uh, then you you best to be be ready for all the cameras Um and all the attention that would come with it and some people would be like, oh, he'll be a distraction We already got our starting quarterback. We don't need any uh any problems or anything like that I don't think it would be anything like that. Um, but at the same time there would be a media frenzy If carlin kapanik does get signed now It seems as if he does get signed This could actually help a team out. Um, it will still be a frenzy But it could actually help them uh PR wise and whatnot and you know again NFL is a business It is a business So they don't care about your personal feelings. They will do things to help them themselves out They will do things to help their businesses out. Um, so It is so a lot of times they don't got anything to do with you personally They will use people in order to uh help their companies out and their franchises their markets Happens all the time But I think that It also does show that uh The fact that this team called p carol and didn't actually bring in carlin kapanik themselves It shows that there is still some fear It shows that there is still uh Some a level of worry To where They had to remain anonymous Because they could have carlin kapanik's a free agent He's a free agent. He's not signed to any team. He's not signed to any other leagues like cfl anything No, he has no obligation to any team whatsoever none So that team could have brought in carlin kapanik for a workout But they didn't They didn't they asked The head coach of the team that worked him out three years ago how it was three years ago Things can change a lot in three years whether for better or for worse Things can change so much So and if you look at a lot of players around the league three years ago A lot of them are not the same player Again for better or for worse So the fact that whatever team it was whoever it may be The fact that they That they asked p carol about carlin kapanik And it may not have just been about on the on the field stuff. It could have been a bit been about personal stuff But I think the the best way for whatever team it was to have gone about that Would have been just to go straightforward carlin kapanik and if it was about just the personal stuff Just do a phone call You can still remain anonymous You could tell caps people a hold it down Don't don't put this out You could tell cap a hold it down. Don't put this out And you could tell your people hold it down. Don't put this out All it is is a phone call Make a phone call if it's about personal stuff make that a phone call Keep it anonymous. Don't let anybody know But if it's about football stuff and you're asking the head coach Of the seahawks. He asking p carol from a workout from three years ago. If it's about football stuff then To me, I think that's it doesn't make any sense If it's about football, you need to work them out yourself Might as well What's the worst that could happen? Well, they probably scared of the blowback They probably uh, they probably worried that people would be like, oh You work them out. Oh, but you don't sign them, especially Depending on your quarterback situation Oh, because it's so many different factors that that play a part in the possibility Of what uh could go on if they brought in carlin cap and it for a workout because again There would be a media frenzy And depending on your quarterback situation Because quarterbacks are sensitive You know quarterbacks are very sensitive So if a team was to bring in carlin cap and it for a workout and they let it be known Then they're starting quarterback. Whoever that may be Depending on his contract depending on his recent play. He could be like, hey What are y'all doing? Why y'all bringing him in? Especially somebody who started before If carlin cap and it had never started a game in the league before okay The the quarterback wouldn't be worried and not even to say that A quarterback who hasn't played in like three four years would cause a starting quarterback to worry But at the same time if that starting quarterback has been struggling If that starting quarterback has not been playing his best football He could think in the back of his mind. Oh, yeah, this dude ain't played in like three four years But in the back of his mind, he's like, oh man Oh I don't know man I ain't trying to lose my job man. And I I'm just uh So it's a lot of different scenarios that could uh that could come from this whole thing Um, but we'll see what happens We'll see what happens um Pete carol It there are some teams that could I mean a lot of teams especially now with everything going on could definitely take Cap and it going and and there would be I think there would be more support For uh for him on a team then there would be blowback, but at the same time there would still be Uh some blowback But anyway, we'll just continue to watch and wait and see what happens team keep it clean I love y'all. I appreciate y'all. I thank you all. Thank you for continuing. It's just stay positive Thank you for continuing to show so much support Um, and y'all just keep being great me y'all are the best seriously I'm out
