Gruden to talk about Cam Pre-Season and Now on ESPN...


KBRed

Recommended Posts

Recap:

Gruden loves how he dresses...'look how this cat dresses', 'those are some fine threads'

Already is a leader and everyone trusts him.

Loves the redzone package the Panthers have placed. I don't know how you stop him.

Talked about controversy with '36'. Play-calling is not a problem. Every series QB coach talks to Cam. They have more formations than most. You know who is coaching Cam...that's Mike Schula. An Alabama guy coaching an Auburn guy...how sick is this world?

Can he make it happen under center? He can execute any kind of pass/play action pass with ease.

You are looking at the certified, unanimous ROTY as long as he takes care of himself.

To quote Gruden: "I think you're looking at the certified, legitimate, unanimous rookie of the year.."

...as long as he takes care of himself.

I was quickly recapping while watching, tried to edit a few statements...but definitely not quotes from Gruden.

Gruden set him up with the playcalling thing... it's funny now that he says it isn't a big deal. Gruden knew damn well what Auburn's playcalling scheme was before he asked the question.

Gruden also knows the purpose of that show was to get people to watch.

Well this is nice and all, but honestly I've never heard Gruden say anything bad about anyone for as long as he's worked at ESPN. He's the most overwhelmingly positive commentator I've ever heard :p

We all know that Cam knew his own offense and that the Gruden segment is meaningless, but Cam DID blow that interview. Gruden didn't ask an unfair question, HE might have known what Auburn's playcalling scheme but Gruden didn't do these things just to get a better understanding of Auburn, he's not a scout he works for ESPN.

He wanted Cam to explain to America what his playcalling scheme was, and Cam didn't do a good job at all. Luckily that doesn't matter on the field.

    • NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing. 
    • The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.
    • Yeah man, that was a catch. I like to imagine the game isn’t rigged but it’s well known sports betting is ruining the sport. Unfortunately, most coaches plan for 3 phases of the game. But there is really 4, offense, defense, special teams, and special occasions. on special occasions the refs can influence the game, leaving you in positions your actively planning to stay out of and how you respond in those special occasions make or break the game. Other times it’s other reasons. But I like to hope that the right team, or right player can extend past those types of setbacks and still find a way. anywho, probably a pipe dream. But it’s how I see it.
