Around SBN: NFL Players Ready To Welcome Gay Teammate

Brodney Pool Talks With SNY


Brodney Pool sat down to talk with SNY's Jeane Coakley recently, and here is what he had to say:

SNY: Your a very physical player, but it's also know that you've had concussions, how do you deal with that? And you are a health risk..

Pool: Na, you know. I keep hearing health risk, but, I'm really not. Before this year, I only really had one concussion. People think it's been concussions but it's not. I have a history of migraines, and it runs in the family....concussions and migraines, there kind of like hand in hand. Last year with the NFL coming down hard on concussions, I was unfortunate to come in at a time like, to have one at a time where there coming down on it. Other than the last 5 games I missed last year, which I could of played, but it was too late, I got put on IR, I only missed one game from one concussion, and that's my very first play ever.

SNY: Does it effect your play, do you ever think in the back of your mind......

Pool: No of course not. I'm not going out there timid, because that's when you get hurt. I'm gonna go out there with the mindset to play like I have been playing, and that's free and just going.

SNY: You played cornerback before, what do you think of the two cornerbacks the Jets have?

Pool: I know I won't have to play it here (laughs), so, I'm fine with that (laughs). It's a great group of guys, those two guys are great, we have other guys who are good too so, the whole secondary as a whole, I'm liking it.

 

You know I think this is one of the better signings we have made this off-season and it has gone under the radar far too much. So it was good to hear Brodney talk for the first time, you can follow the link to watch the interview, but that is the extent of the questions. Still hoping that one of the beat reporters can sit him down and really ask him some questions.

Also, I figured you knew the show was coming on as your timing of the post was so close to the re-run.

I saw it. The link initially went to Cro, then Woody, then Brodney, but i think you could have just clicked Brodney to go straight to the interview. But its totally summed up above so your not missing anything really if you can’t get to it.

Only thing I didn’t get was the whole concussion = migrains thing.

The rest of it...

Brodney said he chose the Jets because he felt he could be a good fit in this defense.

He said Rob Ryan was his favorite coach, and that he and Rex are just like each other.

He said he’ll give it his all every play.

Then the migraine portion.

As a safety the two CBs will free up the safeties. He’ll have to make plays on tight ends.

What the Jets did was not a fluke, it speaks volumes about the coaches and the players.

Coming in to the workouts, the team mindset is geared towards the Super Bowl, working harder than everybody else.

Then the interview ends and Greg Buttle says he understands the migraines cos he gets them from Ray Lucas every Sunday.
