pretty much the same video can be found on every single team's website. what saddens me is the only player he really went out of his way to mention was Quessenberry, who is currently battling lymphoma. it's hard to gauge Macc's influence in the team's draft day decision making, but it would seem Quessenberry was one of 'his' guys. i think i read that he was instrumental in the drafting of JJ Watt too.

I see what people meant about him being "quiet" and "laid back".

If you watched the senior bowl practices a couple of years ago you could see why he liked Quessenberry. Drafting a guy like that in the sixth round was a no brainer at the time, I think most were surprised he fell that far. |

lol, so this is what people are so worried about? The fact that he's an easy talker and has a calm demeanor? Haha, wow. Some you lot have been jaded by Idzik. Pro tip: Idzik being a quiet guy wasn't what made him a bad GM.

Seems like a likeable fella.
We have a personnel guy like we wanted, his demeanour may be a strength, he seems to have a calming character and should be able to have a good proffesional relationship with Quinn.

I really don't give a rats ass if the guy is quiet. That does not mean he will not handle the media well, nor does it mean he is not decisive. If the guy is a good talent evaluator, has a plan to put a team together and is decisive and flexible (something Idzik appeared not to be) -- especially during the draft and free agency, that is all I care about.

Pro tip: Idzik being a quiet guy wasn't what made him a bad GM. I don't mind calm guys. My initial issue with Idzik (before we knew he was a terrible GM) was that he seemed awkward. Mac doesn't seem awkward. I actually like Mac's demeanor. |

Reminds me a little of Mangini(not just because 'process' was mentioned a few times). I liked a lot of what Idzik had to say at this stage too but let's se if Macca can pick out at least 1 decent WR in a draft loaded with them

Only three players remain from that draft. Only three from the 2011 draft as well. Not impressive although one looks to be a potential HOFer.

I see what people mean by their first impression of his demeanor, like he lacks that killer instict you need to be a GM. Not saying it will turn out that way but other people dealing with him may get that same first impression. It will be interesting to see how it works out. |

some things i appreciate about magg - his teams were unafraid of making unpopular picks. Mario over Bush, Clowney over a QB, Watt over a QB, Okoye when they already had a good DL... tons of D though. i hope Jets fans can stomach a defensive player in the first round, because magg doesn't seem like someone to factor need too much into his selections. if no QB, OL, or WR good enough for 6 is available, we will go D

You also got to consider UFA and the latest info is that he had a lot say in FA and player acquisitions. The Texans have had 3 winning seasons in their last 4. He is also endorsed by Wolf and Casserly. That is enough for me. |

Idzik tried to replicate that although he's too much of a piece of shit, pole smoking, Hot guy I'd like to blowed, mongoloid scumbag moron to know good talent from not. |
