Pete Kendall

You all think and accurate of the 1011 years we've been doing this how is that possible -- we have not had. Pete Kendall on our air as a guest this is the Quincy guy. He's an artsy guy use of BC standout Archie bunker no archbishop William I'll --

We want to guys are you one. I'm doing great at a little disappointed that this white stuff -- and -- white on white balls fly.

Yeah that's on our -- you know off an awful at eight -- I have to live here want to move so like tiger -- so public. An estate in Florida through -- coastal it.

You think Beckett and get a look at stuff I want you to get it taken figure out there.

you -- you're at the approach day yesterday and beaten the bring back memories of twelve years ago would you approach day sort of like Matt Ryan's pro day twelve years ago.

In that there was some football and called on the field yet and -- about where the similarity that but. Articulate eighty press credentials issued yesterday it was. It must have been really an intimidating seeing a lot of those guys I was I was nervous for those kids yet they were almost people auction.

Do you do you remember -- what it was like for you did you have to run the forty. And vertical leap and on vertical leap to -- do it all those things and and most importantly. Did you do in the wonder --

But I did all of that stuff out -- the confines assault my holiday I only did the you know on the field drills with the coaches. And I did okay I'm almost saying that I guess. The violent conceptual art for a possible linemen right I didn't -- and the forty didn't really need all that much and and vertical jump I don't know where that comes in play that I don't just the one time out at and.

While -- your bench press. That would every time she did to 25 has swirled still insists he -- 51 times which I'd like to see. -- did you break the record.

That is -- I didn't set a record yes for the low low at the bottom restaurant offered a lot of the first round. I I was anywhere in the mid twenties if memory serves me right.

twelve years in the NFL I guess and when you came out of BC or you came Archie. You didn't think you're going to get twelve years in the pros that was your goal like to play one game -- get a pension or just a year oh what was it initially and can you believe it's been twelve years now.

I can't believe -- it's been twelve years has gone by so fast that might Nicole looked -- finished our first contract. You know the five year deal was Seattle aren't quite yet at that point -- are plenty of money and I'll get on -- life should not become a grown up but all that stuff from. Although all the money looked good in Seattle the money -- and Arizona and I'm still not grown up and at this point I'm I'm really looking forward to a so I'm going to keep playing Navarro that there.

no matter what you did in terms of bench presser or dash or any of that stuff you obviously impressed some people my recollection serves me correctly. You epic 21 back in 1996 correct. When he first person -- so when you talk to Matt Ryan doctor and it'll be one -- about draft day and sit around wait for the phone to ring in any advice from the wise old sage.

Driving is distracted that you Dan Connor and I know that attack because it's only your future that's playing out on the television product you -- On the first round is just such a long tedious process with the fifteen minutes between excellent. The committee I knew I was going to Seattle what I didn't know that they were going to trade down twice. Could that was there was there was some ups and downs in the -- out that that.

Garcia and you're -- see element by a large infected almost unanimously these guys that I don't care where I'm draft that I just want to go play and contribute and and and help out a team. They but the fact is. Don't you root for someplace you want to go beat.

Yeah I would think it. You -- our opportunity somewhere on eighteen that was double -- poised compete to win a championship that would be the ideal for a young player coming out. But I really believe -- kid that at that point is -- the draft that is as highly that you can be drafted and make it much money can't get this whole process behind it because it is just. It really want that nerve wracking time from the time you play your last game as a college senior R and -- class it was going to declare. Until the draft -- 45 months and it's just the speculation Volvo order times and then I my guess is that all of these kids will be thrilled -- this thing has really -- from the get to move on the mini camp and get -- business. --

Opening money a cycle obviously the higher Ryan -- draft of the more money he's going to make let's set that aside for second where is the best place. In your estimation for Matt Ryan football wise would -- be under Parcells. In Miami would it be Atlanta number three Herman Edwards in Kansas City apparently has an interest or all the way to Baltimore number rate.

I think Baltimore team that most ready to win right now they have an outstanding the fans that are they get you very good for the next few years where Matt wouldn't be. Expect to command and carried the team. But Bill Parcells obviously has won everywhere he's Batman and if -- not turn around this here you would expect to beat. To see it turn around the next couple years well I would say probably those would be your best to spot form. Well I think he would do well Kansas City -- they have the developing of better get younger and a purple -- like -- that Rick Tocchet and hit it great place and a great tax map.

Does he remind you of Matt Hasselbeck that's one of the comparisons we are often for a Matt Ryan. Does -- Simpson lawyers similarities there that you CP.

Yeah in the opportunities I get to see him play -- what he does support to Matt Hasselbeck is improvise and make plays and that's eat. And an escape them and I extra time in you know the ball but obviously very smart kids. Smart quarterback I think Ryan might have a little bit of a bigger compliment I think council -- Korea because.

Drafted quarterbacks in your estimation Pete Kendall failed in the NFL because of their brain or because of their physical that physically -- up to the task.

I think it's. The brand I think if the quarterback who can figure out where -- go home -- ball not -- quarterback who can understand what the play -- to give him his helmet really means and knowing where the ball supposed to go and been able to make the adjustments. I think a lot of guys can can throw the ball into the field but they can't figure out -- it's volatile and less than three seconds and it doesn't matter how far he can throw it if you're argued back. So and I got a chance to speak with pat Ryan and at least one occasion and to talk for all taxes at all supplement a giveaway really impressed so I think. You don't do very well.

A year redskin and we all know what that meant last year starting with you forcing the trade from New York was that about the craziest year you've -- The most eventful year -- in the NFL the.

Yeah I would say without a doubt that was that was the most ups and downs last year from the purposely at least as it was that the trade in the situation that led to betray it. We're down in Virginia and then -- America which was just horrible tragedy and and that we lose some games to win some games go on in the playoffs with a lot of ups and downs.

And now Joe Gibbs is -- what what's what are things look like going forward. -- you met James or indeed obviously Seattle you must've.

Yet I worked one year it was -- and in 97 and I spoke with a -- he's taken a job and I'm excited I think Jim is I think he's going to be a good fit for our team -- we have a whole team I think -- ours is so lent itself to veteran players and they kept. Quite a bit of a coaching staff around and so he also have I think I understand the lay of the land before and I really -- doubt that. I just think that it got to make for a smooth transition.

Beat obviously you weren't around your during football season you're in Virginia when you're with the Washington Redskins the unit here the great debate that raged for weeks actually months I suppose. About Belichick running up the score is there such a thing in the NFL as running up the score and what do you think about that -- from your standpoint of somebody who was on the short end of a Belichick big score. Didn't feel like he was that day.

I don't I don't have any problem with said that while playing football I I heard somebody asked the question about brought up the score Boston what was also do kick a field or thats sort of how I feel Edward. We're professionals at -- highest level of the game. And if we're going to lose -- touchdown that data and then -- lose by six touchdowns but what what he ought to do take immediate and it over to Austin and in that condescending -- Probably more embarrassing than get caught the touchdown and and compete and so. I don't have any problem with what they did it that the problem is that we didn't play well or -- it was the end result.

You didn't feel bad for your coach a lot of people including some -- teammates believe said wasn't right grinding this this Hall of Fame coach. In to dust the way Belichick did in that game.

Admittedly are scary it is the players who play all the coaches to call plays it at that point and I didn't. Yes something personal between bell enjoy all of I mean maybe those people most of the more I do but when the games back ago that fire control get that far out of hand. I don't know what the right thing to do at that point has I don't know why anybody would waste time trying to figure out what it is just go play better walk out.

Did you know or any be teammates know you couldn't called two timeouts in a row. That the legal situation.

Yeah I think a lot of guys Nolan. Not not sure what happened Joe has said that he asked the official what he called another timeout then I guess if officials didn't tell those city could put that helmet was going to be a penalty I think guys get over really fast we had many opportunities to win that game until it went through so much. As the face of our organization government through the tragedy which -- To have mental -- like that I don't think anybody blame them I think it's very easy to understand -- something like that may happen.

You're certainly bounce back from what they can you give us cement -- before that you go beat you or in New York with the jets you know Mangini how deep seeded. Is the hatred between Mangini and his former mentor Belichick and how. Heated does this rivalry right now the jets and patriots.

Get beyond that you Jerry had never got the impression that Eric David Bell I think that's -- sort of media creation at least at a level that is now about Eric is the guy who plays called the bat as well also I'm not going to say it. Eighty that he told his deepest darkest -- my impression what he told me it was that this was sort of being made to be more than what it really wasn't as -- the rivalry. I don't think any of that personal stuff carried over onto the field between the players obviously the patriot as. Dominated the series the last 45 years I'll. I guess not much rivalry usually need force teams to win almost equally for the great rival.

Did he didn't -- deepest darkest secrets but did he tell you the ever. Videotaped the opposing defensive coordinator signals.

Oh I know. Peter you impressed with your former team's offseason free agent acquisitions because they're pretty much buying up everything in sight.

They've been very active than and it got themselves some some good football players -- I've watched now -- playoffs element. He's a very good car and just pleasure of playing against Chris Jenkins so I know that differences LP. Other that the great sign for them and I was in Arizona what -- Calvin pace and he started to turn a corner I guess last year I think the system really suited him I think that might pick up forms so. But what does that all mean that it you have to wait until September but it it certainly looks promising for the this far.

He has Pete Kendall offensive -- guard for the L Washington Redskins beat good to catch up with -- thanks for the football talk we'll what we'll talk with a down the road.

My pleasure guys we'll see on a golf course.

Good so it's war. As a member of the very nice place -- The Boston you haven't played him yeah I got invited I assume that against topic topic I couldn't go the day that I was invited in the ointment and a break me the world now. Didn't go and where is it do you know what happens in the South Shore. What's the daily fee open tournament and there will be -- Daly be -- really yeah pretty. Let's put it this way to join this particular place it cost more than your house cost meter. Kept them much this much compete that really -- luxury Donald I don't know him. Preakness and the commitment Guillen -- committing an XI can quit and went right and he's -- he's too smart to coach when he's done you know they'll probably on the public view. Just -- a golf vagabond or in the next thirty years if he's investing with what's the space -- you to Bear Stearns psyched up and don't let it die but it -- I'll try to dusty would buy extra. Sit back and plague all
