Gruden Camp: Earl Thomas


Dpantherman

Recommended Posts

I like the Gruden's QB Camp segment a whole lot. If anyone say today, there was a 1 hour special where they ran through his segments with the top QBs.

I'd really like to see the segment extended into the regular season, bi-weekly or monthly. It'd be cool to see Gruden sitting down with rookies and newer QBs in the league analyzing game footage from their 3 INT 2 Fumble game 2 weeks ago. Plus I'd like to see what he'd say about Moore.

When he was coaching the Bucs, I always had enmity for him. The way he would bark at the refs, the smug look of satisfaction he'd have when he beat us. Every time we played them I wanted to brutally eviscerate a 'Chucky' toy afterwords just to get rid of the ill will he brought out in me.

When I saw he was doing MNF Football, my first reaction was "Great, another asshat making a mockery of MNF".

But wow.... was I pleasantly surprised. Not only is he a good commentator and not hard to listen to... but the guy really does know his sh!t when it comes to Football! The first time he punk'ed Jaworski for making some boneheaded comment, I was almost gleeful.

So Gruden... you're alright man. Hope they give you a show someday, or put you in charge of a primetime NFL game (I'd like it if they ditched Chris Collinsworth on SNF, and put Gruden in Madden's old chair)

    • When Parcell’s said Bryce better “walk on water”…..the implied concern wasn’t that the tiny QB could survive being hit.  It was acknowledging he would have to be extremely special to overcome the handicaps he would face at this level.  Which he isn’t and can’t.  which isn’t just being hit.  It’s being able to play in an NFL pocket and make NFL throws from it….and that ultimately is Bryce’s problem.  He doesn’t play well from a NFL pocket and can’t make all the throws as needed.  He can’t see as others can.  Which impacts the throws he does and doesn’t take.  It also impacts him bailing and killing plays and turning them into scrambles/dead plays 
    • 9:30 kick off here in Scotland, which is better than the 01:20 early hours of Monday that I feared. Will definitely be watching, but probably wouldn't if it had been 0120 as I need to be up for work at 05:45. Falcons Saints is 6pm on the Sunday so will watch that too if it becomes relevant
    • So much revisionist history around the pre-draft Bryce hype. The media was practically united in saying that if he were a couple inches taller he'd be the perfect prospect and it was just a question of whether he'd hold up in the NFL being that small. The Panthers did not create the mythos around him they were just the team that bought in. The team was largely praised for the move after and for surrounding him with what was considered an all-star coaching staff at the time.  Yeah part of the fanbase wanted Stroud but let's be real, we're coming from an oversized franchise QB who injured himself out the league. There was some analysis here on the limitations of Bryce's game but people were mostly just concerned he was going to turn into dust when he got sacked in the NFL.
