- On the podcast "26 Minutes with Clinton Portis", Redskins TE Vernon Davis reflects on his "Singletary moment" (ie, Coach Mike Singletary's "CAN'T DO IT" rant) from 2008. Vernon talks about how he learned from that experience, and how he rediscovered his love for football by joining the Washington Redskins via ex-GM Scot McCloughan.

It's crazy how much of a turning point this was for Vernon. The very next season, he scored 13 TDs
And bro went crazy ever since
Respect Vernon Davis for dealing with this in the best way possible. Was one of his fans ever since it happened. He’s a good man & a role model for how to recover like a man.
He was a good football player too
@@jamesnightingale2788 Yes he really was a hood football player. So much has changed in the NFL in 50 years. When I was young players didn’t make that much unless they were stars & the NFL & teams encouraged them to become known in media for endorsements & acting gigs because it was good for the league. Now it seems like there’s so much focus on QBs that there’s fewer non QBs getting attention. This model started about 10 years ago when media attacked the NFL every time a player got arrested. The teams found that having a franchise QB making generational wealth resulted in QBs being very buttoned up & nearly everyone else being disposable.
Members of the Legion of Boom got attention but they all had careers of 10 years or less unless we include Bobby Wagner. So few players have 12-16 year careers but they also make a lot more money & don’t need the notoriety that used to bring commercials for income. But like I said, I feel like we as fans lost the opportunity to really get to know these players. Vernon Davis played with intensity & was very talented. So few make the hall of fame & that also appears to be headed to honoring quarterbacks & team owners over the men in the trenches who make it all possible.
I actually have had the chance to sit down and talk with Vernon at my old job on multiple occasions, such a down to earth man and just so damn genuine, although he may of not played many snaps with the Broncos I'm just happy someone was able to get him the Ring he deserved!
Vernon grew up!! Kudos to him!! I love Portis too!!
I think Coach set foundations for that Superbowl team- before Harbaugh came in . At time I thought he was overworked and a bit nuts but mad respect for the total commitment and focus to create men into winners!
Singletary would be a great Defensive Coordinator with how much he knew about the game.
The 85 Bears were so great because of his work in the film room and how he could read the other team's offense like a book.
he was coaching high school football this past season... did not go well for him... like it went all bad.
ANIMALFRIES yup. I like Mike for what he did for the 49ers, but the Ravens defenders (Bart Scott) did not respect him due to his lack of scheme knowledge.
I still think if he had come into the league with the attitude he had at the end of his career, he would be a Hall of Famer. I mean geez, he had a relatively disappointing career based upon the hype he came into the league with... but he still caught for 7562 yard, 63 touchdowns, and a 13 yards per catch average (which is absolutely phenomenal for a TE). That's a great career for a TE, but he only scratched the surface of his potential. Guy was super talented.
Singletary was just moved up too quickly to HC and it didn't work out. I don't think he was even an coordinator yet.
He could easily be a defensive coach on an NFL team and be successful at it.
agreed ascended too soon…kinda like Icarus his legend too him higher than he was prepared for at the time
@@tobia.1281 It's possible. I really wanted to see him succeed, too.
Lets also not forget Clinton was a COMPLETE BACK in his time. Dude was great.
Vernon grew up that day.
One of my favorite coaches.☺
Buddy Ryan was a Defensive Coordinator. Thats what he was. Singletary was his best pupil. I assumed Singletary would follow in his footsteps. He got his head job too early. Bears fan, but Joe Gibbs is the best head coach in my lifetime. 3 super bowls, 3 different QB's.
Pete Carroll is the best coach in your lifetime, without question and there's not a close second either. He turned a mediocre team into a modern-day dynasty and at one point, a literal juggernaut (2013).
ANYBODY could have run the teams that Joe Gibbs had with success. The Redskins were stacked. They were the only team to consistently defeat the Giants and the Cowboys in that era as well.
And a winning race car team too!
He was on the broncos 2015 Super Bowl team
I think Singletary would make a good head coach but he would have to have a strong Offensive and Defensive coordinator running the game. Singletary would be strongest in practice getting his team ready for the game. He learned from Buddy Ryan.
He could run def give him a off coordinator
@@jasonlang1314 He was the captain of the best defense in NFL history. He's overqualified when it comes to defense.
I am a Bears fan I wanted the Bears to hire him when we hired Nagy they did give him an interview but went with Nagy... My Dad is a long time bears fan and he thinks guys are abit to soft now to take his type of coaching because when someone yells at them they get hurt and try to leave and stuff. With that being said I only want guys that can take his coaching style on the team anyways bring him back to Chicago!!! Bears fan since 2007!
@@timbrown5576 which makes him to hard on guys at sometimes; so you really only need a defensive coordinator to nurse his players wounds at time.
I’d say he’d be a good college head coach imo. Where you can develop young players
I've had many fatherly figures in my life...my step-dad was the only one who cared, cuz he yelled, he told me to be better!! The others didn't care what I do or say!!
Vernon Davis was a for real winner.
I feel this way about mitchell trubisky.
Kinda stupid. He hasn’t done anything to show he is a “me” first guy. He hasn’t thrown anyone under the bus.
Met Vernon Davis out in Denver at the mall lol he a real stand up dude. Mike was HOT lmaooo
A GREAT MAN! Mike Singletary we need you back in the NFL as a HEAD COACH
Mark Pate yes we do. Not sure what team but we do
Uriah J. The Bears
Brendan O'Sullivan ehhh🤷🏿♂️
good man, terrible coach.
That's maturity speaking,...Move on, forget it, and go forward.
Baker Mayfield NEEDS Mike to coach him
Love cp in the O's jersey
Singletary shows even when your an elite athlete your still not greater than morality and strong work ethic,And being a team member that plays his role,He gets the big picture of at all.
He was a fuckin joke as a coach.
This studio is so sick
This was like Mark Jackson in the NBA. He set the pieces up to make a great reign, but didn't know how to capitalize on their potential. Harbaugh comes in and boom, legit NFC contenders for all most 5 years
When somebody asks me something I know I can’t or won’t do FOR YEARS NOW I ask them if they know MIKE SINGLETARY. If they say no I send them the 5 second clip of...CANT DO IT. The funny part is when I ask people for something and they use it on me!!!! “Adam, can you work for me tomorrow? Ronnie, you know Mike Singletary, right?”
When in doubt blame T.O lol smh
Very funny observation
@@davidborodziuk898 where’s the funny?
Did you really “shake your head”? Next time shake it off your neck
Also Clinton Portis, hang in there!!!
"Can't do it" 😄😁😆😅🤣😂
2:18 So true it’s not about how you start it’s about how you finish
Vernon Davis of the biggest athletic freaks ever
In case you didn't already know. Mike Singletary is FROM THE OLD SCHOOL!
No idea which school he actually attended. But it's definitely an old school!
facts
✊🏾👌🏾✊🏾 grown Man shit
Pisses me off should've kept coach. Harbaugh inherited a gold mine pun intended. So as a Michigan fan as well it kinda made me laugh when he talked about ryan day being put on second base and thinking he hit a double. Not quite the same situation, osu was way more successful than the 49ers before either got in but the potential the 49ers had was huge. Thank you coach singletary! Thank you Vernon Davis!
Vernon seems like a good dude, and portis had good questions... not sure about the silent guy in the middle🧐
That dude is cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. He answered questions in other parts of the interview.
Clinton talking about knucklehead moments as he was simultaneously committing health care fraud 😂😂😂
I cant win with'em lol
Da Bears need Mike desperately. 🐻 👇
You don't get penalized for 10 players.
This didn’t just come from a coach, it came from a Hall of Fame player who did it. And look, he was right lol. Vernon had more success when he let that go.
"CAN'T DO IT"
Lesson: don't use t.o. as a model on how you act as a professional and teammate
TO always came to play every game never took games off so you can STFU!!
Y'all are right, he didn't get cut from training camp as a superstar in Philly for "conduct detrimental to the team" Jeff Garcia, Donovan McNabb and the several teams that cut loose one of the best receivers in that era may disagree. Get off his D
@@stevenrandall8300 I'll side with the Head Coach who called him the best player he's ever coached and the list of players who called him a great teammate not 2 QBs who he made better 🤷🏾♂️
@@anthonygraham3773 cool story bro. Never said he wasn't talented. Just a distraction organizations didn't want on their team
I guess you're right... Garcia and McNabb said it so it must be true. Disregard the slew of teammates who said otherwise. It's always funny.. outside of McNabb (because the only thing I can recall about Garcia speaking on him was his SUPPORT for his HoF enshrinement) none of the "sources" these reporters had have ever been named. 🤷🏾♂️
I’m here because of SpongeBob

Physical with an F 🤣
Team First Sport. Duh.
how are you going to take "click clack" seriously?
He didht learn humility he was humbled against his will.. stop heaping compliments unto celebrities
Kam chancellor knocked the all star out of davis
Mike Singaltary was a horrible coach. All talk no action.
Mike was trash.. all smoke
Singletary is a pisser.......😅
This is why Dione Sanders will never coach in the NFL.
I'm I late for the party? Mike was a bad coach and Vernon Davis was soft! But I still side with Vernon. #pithy! 💯
Singletary just wanted to put on a show for the cameras...He was a "BUM" as a coach
He literally built the Niners team that Harbaugh took to the Super Bowl. Give him his credit.
@@isaiahmarquez9717 can't do it won't do it...he was a clown as a coach pulling down his pants man get this Bozo outta here
bum and Singletary should not fit in the same question... he was coach just not a head coach not enough experience... defensive coach of linebackers or defensive coordinator would have been a better fit especially for the intensity he brought... the intensity might have been too much has head coach but definitely not a bum
@Isaiah Marquez You are 100% correct on that my friend! Than Jim git his ass kicked by John!
@@mailliwnella 34-31 is not an ass kick my boy, that was a great game by two good teams.
