Joe Montana, NFL Hall of Famer

As the NFL season kicks off tonight in the full slate -- this weekend and Monday Nigel and -- on the fault lines is a Hall of Fame quarterback in Super Bowl MVP on three separate times. Joe Montana joins on the phone lines representing sprint NFL mobile live good morning show how -- we're gonna take it to -- with Richard Seymour being traded you know 45 days before the season begins. From -- perennial Super Bowl contender to the Oakland Raiders -- understand his reluctance to come out of his house here in Massachusetts.

I'm not sure that what we talked about -- All I could figure out something else that happened. I don't mean something. Obviously the troops opened that happened this way. Usually there's something else to go on Florida and maybe no record in your pocket usually end up with six.

Well I there's speculation that he doesn't wanna spend as any more time with local many has to admit he's holding out for some sort of -- that they don't franchise in ignored a free agency and and make his last big contract for months from now.

Thank you gotta do in all of those things happen you -- prepare yourself and and so he's probably. You're right I do what you need to do to make sure that. You can continue to do things that that he wants to vote not. Unfortunately you know when you're in this position you don't usually have a lot of say where that where you go on whether you can't go or not but. Would try and make us government shortly there.

Now my math is correct -- you're last season the NFL's 1994 Kansas City correct. I don't wanna have all these years later went opening night rolls around in the NFL. Have the competitive juices gone away has that lust and desire to play this game and -- missed two days. But but will use front of the TV tonight in this weekend ago. Am I wish I were out there.

Vote until I know because of the traveler back home but. I doubt. You know we sit out watch all the time actually -- at this point we were limited Southern California. And has a little out toward physical to a flat screen out there's great. -- And I want to -- you know it's hard to you --

Hey do you think it's time. You're a little closer to the situation that we are here we're looking at from a pace -- perspective but up there. Do you think there it is a movement afoot to take the controls away from Al Davis in Oakland clearly. This trade makes no sense at all from the -- is perspective. Are people grow worried that it's that that that that once proud franchise is just been mismanaged in the ground.

Well. I think it's been really the field -- You know that you just really doesn't. Have to control that used to have in -- in their position that he is being in but. You know. You know history is got a car -- with Gooden and hope the best for the the people and organizations that they can make it through that this transition. And eventually somebody does something or steps and are stuck in a -- And some that are gonna guess -- still --

We'll talk -- Joe Montana Joe I'm wondering if you watched Brett Favre you know changed jerseys yet again. Can you relate to what used drugs nobody is either you know ambivalent about what Favre is all about they're either you know he is one of the greatest of all time let him do what he wants were really tired of the act can you relate to what he's doing an an and his. Desire to to milk out yet another season from the NFL.

Well I. You know can't really hard to give up if you if and when you once you get to it at that level and that level he's been able to apply. It it becomes more difficult -- and you know that once you retire for good news. And you say it's over you you can't compact is -- and it doesn't take -- too much time off some unsure. He -- because still play and most somebody's still wants them to influence I am. You know that I -- you can't because it's it's over at an early -- I mean I would try to put an earlier period. I want to look back on it even know. Physically I'm not sure a lot of dating my blood. -- Sylvia order. Player out my kids put. Still -- however it's unclear what sort --

Holloman and arguing your physical ability to play with -- based on this that the years of wear and there.

Well I know I don't I mean that there were around like simply basketball like if you didn't like to. Nobody will put up there so all but they argued every now that I tested veteran -- it let it do. -- Also states I keep trying and David it's fun I just didn't wanna underscore the view of at least. Do something -- them that I can physically. I don't think couple more and use them mature and.

And you're you're considered the best Clinton Sports Illustrated college of the number one clutch quarterback of all time we got a pretty good one. Here in New England in the clutch did you feel like you've got better. When the moment got bigger projects we feel yourself. A ticket to another level or do you just think you played it it didn't it didn't hurt -- didn't it didn't affect you negatively.

Well I I don't I think -- different and I think what happens when you hear those. In those situations as in order I think everybody -- currency is concentrate a little bit more like -- You know I have pretty good group of people around you and to make it work and all think in the same way apparent on the same page and doesn't matter and you know and the ability to do that really -- for those governments and then there want to do anything accomplished something about it.

We're stuck with Joe Montana John wondering you don't teammates aside in coaching staffs aside. Doing it successfully on the big stage the first time. Does that make it much leisure to do it successfully the second time and the -- to that is if you failed miserably in the first Super Bowl would winning or or competing well the cycle and be tougher.

Well I think the pressure there is a little more pressure about to have a good. You know once you once one of those 300 -- land on you you wake up Chris how. Edgar. If you're still thinking about what you did the year before that in this particular unit struggled input. You know the one thing about. Guys who play well that situation very able forget about what happened -- last play well and you know certainly here for so if you if you struggle that. You're gonna get more opportunities that this thing in there and you're not gonna when all those battle is try to win the majority of.

And it didn't like Clark Pasco right where -- Raymond.

I robot arm's reach of bogus. And I heard the crowd cheer and and everybody was saying what a great technical and you know. That was just the voters -- don't know yet the jump up out of -- white.

I it incidents that's another key to great clutch play is really tall receivers.

After sixteen years in the NFL at the other end of the spectrum Mark Sanchez begins his plate this weekend. What does Mark Sanchez have no idea about that you do when you walked away from. San Francisco in the last two years Kansas City after sixteen seasons what doesn't he know he doesn't know.

Well you can see -- certainly never seen before new life. Especially these days back then it was a little booties or from me but even then we're seeing things that. There are new things happen at all times and you go to those watching -- they have a computer. They're all time for change and by that time you're out there -- here and now you're gonna be here were numbered years. And then those chains will take place slight variance in. Look I can't believe it is -- if I can do that get away with Clinton and yet people still continue to do it because. Until people figure out how to stop dislike the you know the bears swimming and but -- aren't certain. Came up with the defense I don't know where or maybe I don't know -- but it also Volcker stopped for a year then. Periodic -- when you put -- a lot of outside. That was global market.

The -- or somebody could really speak to this based on on your career if your Donovan McNabb. Are you. Privately comfortable with Michael Vick being on the sidelines starting in in weeks three with a boo -- waiting in the stands for your first incompletion.

Well and I think to a certain degree is probably not -- bird but I think a competitive. Aside available kicking and then if it has already in dissent you know. I'm gonna play the best I can put in it and it was in his thinking yes that they problem is gonna keep -- so a lot of closed off -- pretty good for a couple plays here -- there. But the majority come a little put in his all to get satisfied that there's one he continue to play good -- then you'll afterward.

Hey Ron Amadon was a much better quarterback Michael Vick that he at what point did he make you uncomfortable.

I mean it depends who are just so close -- approach at the same ways that. My job was to make sure it stayed behind me hope and that do that I had to prepare myself employee at a -- I -- would keep them there and that was what might. My thought process was -- You know -- way to keep it from being the controversy is not political. -- to play at a level where it doesn't really matter would be.

in your opinion who's the best quarterback playing today.

Well that and I think it's harder very dot com where he hasn't -- any. You know obviously there's some great ones around we'll look at Peyton. You know that's still playing and interpret. What it comes down to it I think. -- pinpoint the.

That's just -- had his poster on your wall. What is a little more boy in San Mateo right and any approached you after the game got an autograph which I'm sure you remember that encounter.

So it just you know it is sort of the thing that he goes and you know it doesn't matter. You know what wide receivers are there. He has protection his firm -- his knees. They're gonna make a long afternoon for somebody these and he's done it you know very quickly to another young.
