Interview with Matt Jones

I just heard an interview with Matt Jones on the radio. I will do my best to re-create the interview.

Q:Are there any tricks to help you catch the ball as a reciever?

A:I think it is just repetiton. You know, its just one of those things. Like when your playing basketball and you miss a layup.

Q:How is it different being in the huddle with David Gerrard as opposed to Leftwich?

A:Gerrard is going to try and make a play with his arm or his feet, so you have to stay open. Leftwich will just stand in the pocket and flick it.

Q:Arkansas lost to the Florida Gators this past Saturday. What are your thoughts on that?

A:It is disappointing. I was watching the game with some friends and we thought they were going to win. We're just happy to be playing the Badgers in a bowl game.

Q:Is it easy to block cornerbacks with your height advantage of 6-6?

A:Yeah, they try to run around you, but when you have Fred or Maurice in the backfield they will just go the opposite direction and make them miss.

Q:Do you ever wish you could play quarterback in the NFL?

A:Yes, I wish I could do the things I did back in college. My shoulder does not let me do that. I am blessed to be able to play another position(reciever)with the talent that God gave me. I am very lucky to be in this position.

That was the gist of it. It took me by suprise when I heard Matt Jones coming on the radio, so sorry I couldn't get the exact conversation.

Thanks for the find!
Good Stuff, I happen to like Matt Jones, but I'm more often than not dissapointed with his effort.  He plays with an aloofness that comes across as not caring and that drives me up the wall..

Where was the interview?

Interview
I think it was a FOX Sports Radio program. They were in California and Matt was in Jacksonville.
