00:00:01.340 - 00:00:32.200

Yeah, yeah. We've finalized just this morning the acquisition and announcing the trade of jump Plunkett the 49 ers given up tom Owen quarterback who we, uh, I regret the necessity to give up tom and we wish him luck and every success with New England And we're

00:00:32.200 - 00:00:57.280

also giving up number 2 # one choices in 1976 And a one or 2 in 1977. And we're delighted to announce the acquisition. Our quarterback, Jim Plunkett, Let me see you smile. You have been smiling all time. Didn't look real happy shit. I got in late

00:00:57.280 - 00:01:09.370

last night from Arizona, I was tired. You gotta be feeling good, huh? I think so. I think now that it's over with, I'm feeling much better. I think there's a lot of tension and it was quite trying on me for a while. I'm trying to be

00:01:09.370 - 00:01:22.040

able to make a decision one way or the other. Jimmy have been six years in National Football League coming up and and the six coming up. All right, six years of National Football League coming up and, you know, the guy just doesn't walk in and turn

00:01:22.040 - 00:01:32.400

the situation around. So, you know, there's gonna be a lot of pressure on you that way. A lot of people are gonna expect that. How do you, how do you feel about it? Well, I think, uh, hopefully they won't expect too much, but they usually do.

00:01:32.400 - 00:01:47.390

I think that I'm gonna come in with an attitude that going to work hard to progress to get better, you know, week after week and if necessary, year after year. So we can reach a point where we can compete consistently week after week, uh, make, you

00:01:47.390 - 00:02:05.640

know, make a few commitments to myself and and just try to get this, you know, this ball club running like a good club out to. Uh, can you also, do you think you're strong and what do you think you need to work in? Well, it's hard

00:02:05.640 - 00:02:16.780

for me to say. I think patients is still one of the things that I have trouble with. Sometimes I'm reluctant to stick to a game plan in the sense that, you know, maybe we get behind a little bit, but we still have plenty of time and

00:02:16.780 - 00:02:25.560

I start to put the ball in the air a little bit too soon. I think that's the biggest thing I have. I have to improve in. Some of the quarterback has been around a long time. Always told me the best way to do that is to

00:02:25.560 - 00:02:39.140

take what they'll give you. Is that true? I think so if you can, you know, sometimes I think at New England with one of the things that was, the problem is that, you know, our communication system, you know, getting the defense is red and the place

00:02:39.140 - 00:02:53.510

called sometimes from from upstairs down to the field and fast enough to take advantage of. It was lacking at times and everybody's been inquiring about your health, but you look good. How do you feel? I feel fine. I've been working out hard and I'm eager to

00:02:53.510 - 00:02:54.650

get started.
