-- Singletary explained how he almost made Michael Crabtree cry. Singletary said that he saw Crabtree doing a jog-through on the practice field. Singletary said he hadn't heard that Crabtree was medically clear, so he went over and told Crabtree to get on the sideline and sit until he gets full clearance. Singletary said Crabtree got "teary-eyed" because he wanted to be out there.
"It impressed me because it showed he wanted to be with the team," Singletary said.
-- Singletary said that he isn't just a motivator and a yeller.
"I think that the No. 1 thing that I am about is relationships," Singletary said. "I'm all about relationships. ... You can have all types of styles, but if you don't have a relationship with those players, it's not going to work."
-- Singletary said that he doesn't have different rules for different players. And Singletary said that Mike Ditka didn't give different players different treatment. Singletary said that Jim McMahon got the same treatment ... he just reacted differently.
Singletary made it clear, however, he loved playing with McMahon and he was good for that team.
"I think he's the only quarterback that could play for Coach Ditka," Singletary said.
-- Singletary said that when he was a freshman at Baylor, the philosophy was no water. But that changed during his college career and his coach started using Gatorade and water.
-- Dan asked Singletary the best piece of advice he ever got. Singletary pointed immediately to Bill Walsh, who taught him to have good people around him and to be himself. |
