Q&A with Corey McIntyre

Corey McIntyre currently a fullback for the Buffalo Bills, who has also had stints with the Philadelphia Eagles, Frankfurt Galaxy (where he won the World Bowl), Cleveland Browns, New Orleans Saints and Atlanta Falcons, has kindly agreed to do a Q&A with us.

So guys if you have any questions you would like to ask him then please post them here. We haven't yet fully sorted the details out as to when we will send him the questions or if we will do it through twitter or in an email but don't worry I'll try my best to get it set up fully and I'll tell you all when these details are confirmed.

Thank you to Corey McIntyre for agreeing to do this Q&A with us.

Do you see the role of the fullback diminishing in the modern game? The focus now seems to be on 5-wide sets instead of I-formation.

Who would you say is the best fullback ever? Gotta be A-Train, right?

As a fullback how do you go about developing your skill set as the game and your position evolves?

Who would you say is the toughest linebacker to block?

If you could block for any running back in history who would it be?

If you weren't able to play American Football professionally, what would you be doing?

Do you believe the NFL needs a developmental league such as NFL Europe?

Other than the Bills, which other teams do you believe are sleepers for this year's Superbowl title?

If you could have played in any era/team what would it be?

What are your plans for the forthcoming season if the Lockout isn't broken?

Are you worried about a backlash against the players over this? (The majority of polled fans in the NHL lockout season blamed the players)

Pr4wn - I can see a career in politics for you my friend.
I don't have a dictionary to hand but I'm pretty sure sleeper doesn't mean 'poor team competing in a tough division with absolutely zero chance of finishing anywhere other than 4th !'

Right, time for a proper question.

Boxers or briefs?

On a serious note.

What do you think of the International Series game? Do you share Urlacher's view of it being "dumb"? Or would you look forward to coming over and playing in one of the World's most iconic stadiums?

I put it in there becuase, if I don't, he's just going to say the Bills and I want a decent answer!

Which position has been your favourite to play in defensive end, linebacker or fullback?

You have played for a number of teams, and therefore worked with quite a few different coaches, which of these coaches would you consider to be the best?

Who out of the players you have played with is the best at the motivational pregame talk?

How have your workouts been going? Have you been working out on your own or been meeting up with some other players?

Out of the rookies you have seen which are you most impressed with?

During the offseason we see a lot of NFL players holding football camps for kids to learn some of the skills they've picked up in the NFL, do you think in the future these camps could ever be held outside of North America?

We will be sending him the questions in an email so we can send him longer questions, and can hopefully get some good answers from him.

What's your favourite film?
What hobbies do you have?
What chore do you absolutely hate doing?
If you could witness any event past, present or future, what would it be?
If you could be any fictional character, who would you choose?
If you could meet anyone, living or dead, who would you meet and why?

Who do you think will be next season's MVP and DPOtY?

Other than Chan, which coach in the NFL would you really like to play under?

Who would you say your greatest roles models were growing up?

Pr4wn - You ever heard of Tom Rathman? Potentially, A-Train wouldn't have been the player he was without Rathman setting the mark. Of course you could argue that Bill Walsh is the architect of the change to incorporating the full back fully into the passing game.

My question - If you hadn't been drafted by the Bills, who would you want to have been drafted by instead?

Don't think he was drafted by the Bills, he was an UFA.

Yup, he was signed by the Eagles after going undrafted.

Which team were you a fan of growing up?

Do you have any plans to visit the UK in the future? I'm sure we could recommend a few good bars...

Stop answering your own questions - its hard to follow!

OK, if he hadn't been picked up by the Bills, who would he ideally have gone to?

Much better skins

Pr4wn - its a good job this is a virtual environment...



(Sarcasm is MY weapon of choice, get your own)

Can I change this too: If you could play for just one more team before you retire who would you want it to be?

Shall I assume you are all done asking questions?

Skins4ever can you please answer the question in my post above.

My question was intended to ask how he felt at being undrafted and where would he have like to go at that tie as #1 choice. Would it have been some where other than the Bills?

Skins could I change that too: How did it feel going undrafted? And which teams were your first choice to go? As the Bills are his 5th NFL team, or do you mean to ask: Before you signed for the Bills in 2008 who were your first choice?

I need to learn to read and write... Sorry, how about this?

You were a UFA - which team would you have liked to go to if you had been drafted?

I have sent our questions to Corey McIntyre, I will let you know when I get the answers.

Just to let you folks know that we've received some answers back from Corey and I'll be posting it up later today. There's also a boxing Q&A that you guys might want to have a look at.

When will you put the Q&A up?

Waiting for free time to have a global announcement. Very soon!

Just chuck Hobo's rubbish into the boxing section?

Haha, trust me I'm trying!!

Surely those who are interested in the link with Primetime and the current competitions will already have seen them and be keeping an eye on the Boxing section, if they weren't already posting there.
