Gruden's Preview- Hawks vs Cardinals

[FortWorthSeahawk]

We all have our opinions on Gruden as a person...but I absolutely love when he gets fired up and talks football.

More than X's and O's...he goes player by player looking at offensive vs defense for each team and highlights their strengths/weaknesses in tonight's matchup.

If you have an hour to kill before the game tonight...well worth your time (or just put it on in the background while doing something else...the audio is more important than the video in this case).

Love Gruden. I don't think he's a bad person, just not very smart when it comes to what he puts in emails. There are so many people that have said stupid stuff (myself included), that they are only saying when trying to fit in "with the guys." The only guys that are serious about it are the single ones without daughters.

In fact it reminds me of lyrics from an REO Speedwagon song: Tough Guys.

"Alfalfa, will you swing me before we have lunch? Sure Darla. Say Romeo, what about your promise to the He Man Woman Haters Club? I'm sorry Spanky, I have to live my own life".

The lyrics that follow describe a woman who is unimpressed by aggressive men and prefers someone her own size.

I love a good song lyricist. None better than Jimi Hendrix or Rob Halford. Jimi's lyrics were borderline fantasy, but close enough to reality to actually have a meaning that one could "suss out."

Rob Halford's Electric Eye is genius. Since most of my spine is metal, thanks to Dr Leveque at VMSC(among others), I relate to that song.

I like him.

 

[Dolomight12]

The older I get, the more I realize he's pretty typical.

 

[Chukarhawk]

always loved Gruden. The biggest endorsement are the guys that played for him. They all loved him.

He says Seahawks have outscored opponents 62-9 in the last 6 quarters played....

Can you imagine being universally judged by the worst thing you’ve ever said and/or done in your life?

I like Gruden as well, his passion for the game is contagious. I personally think he had the easiest path to a Super Bowl win ever with Dungy’s team, but who knows? Maybe it was his fire that put them over the top.

Good video. I don’t know why, but the closer I get to kickoff the more worried I get about this game. Harrison Jr. had a similar game last week to Woolen in week one. It was awful and pretty much cost them the game. I anticipate them going back to him early to get him into a rhythm with shorter pass plays.

If we start turning our pressures into sacks, I think we will be fine. Easier said than done with a guy as fast and elusive as the Call of Duty grand champion.

He's a better person than all the people who judged him

I laughed when he was talking about Darnold and called him the "Ice Man" while doing the robot.

We are all flawed people . We all make mistakes . I like him.

Coin flip game, at least on paper. The Seahawks are a 1.5 point betting favourite, which equates to being a 52% vs 48% favourite.

 

[FortWorthSeahawk]

Just to be clear, I like him too...I just know he has his critics as well. That can be said for most of us in life, I'm sure.

 

[tonyseahawk]

I love the dude

 

[Hawkinaz]

Luv Gruden he is definitely a coach most players would like to play for. IMO a HC needs to motivate players he has problems doing that

Good old Rob!! Saw Judas Priest in the Tacoma Dome back in 1984 (or was it 1983) for their Defenders of the Faith tour. Somehow I was able to sneak in a walkman and recorded the whole concert. I remember someone asking me for a copy during the concert. Never reached out to him because I really was not doing it for profit. I still have the tape somewhere.
