After that, the media had a chance to catch up with MSW for his first interview of the season back in black….and teal. (Hey, it’s not every day you got to drop in an AC/DC play on words…)
First off, the obvious question: how does it feel to be back in Jacksonville? Sims-Walker1
Mike tweeted earlier this week about returning to the Jags as a “changed man.” Here’s what he meant by that: Sims-Walker2
The Jags decided last season not to resign Sims-Walker and released him. He end up with the Rams, who let him go on Tuesday. Here’s the wide receiver with how those decisions affected him: Sims-Walker3
Luckily with Sims-Walker having been here before, he says picking the playbook back up has been relatively easy: Sims-Walker4
But he’s got a different QB this time around: Sims-Walker5
And he’s already had a chance to catch a few passes from #11: Sims-Walker6
Gabbert will be the third QB in less than 2 yaears that Sims-Walker will be receiving passes f rom. Here he is with whether or not making the transition from David Garrard to Sam Bradford to Blaine Gabbert will be or has been difficult: Sims-Walker7
And Sims-Walker returns just in time for Monday Night football: Sims-Walker8
Mike wasn’t the only one today who commented on his return to Jacksonville. Here’s Coach Jack Del Rio with his thoughts on the situation: JDR on return of Sims-Walker
Hopefully #15 (that’s his new number for 2011) will be able to make some big catches on Monday night against the Ravens…
