Just watched Gruden QB camp

Are you trying to impress people with your mad typing skillz?

Lol no, just making a point that when typing fast your fingers don't always follow the train of thought going through your mind.

I kinda suspect "long tail" play calling involving dozens of random terms is pretentious, stupid, confusing and likely unproductive. And, more to the point, probably not used all that much, if at all, in games. I think that crap is mostly spouted off to amaze fans.

I know what you mean. I think if you can communicate the play call and have everyone who needs to know on your team under stand it, without the other team understanding, then I don't care what method of play calling someone uses.

Troll thread is trolling.

Exactly. In fact, I'd suggest it's all bullpoo. That crap Gruden rattles off, good Lord.

If that's really what's going on (and I don't believe it for one second), I think I could personally improve any NFL team in a matter of minutes by eliminating unecessarily complex communication.

Why does Gruden even get the QB Camp segment??

Lord forgive me for even suggesting it, but shouldn't that have gone to Trent Dilfer (I really hate that guy) but he is way more qualified to run that segment than Gruden is.

It's still fun to watch though!

There you go. I do too. It's great TV.

All about the ratings. Gruden has a good TV personality imo. If it weren't for him and Jaws going back and forth on MNF, I don't think I would bother watching. Unless the Panthers were playing of course. :D

Jaws should run that segment.

Gruden tells it like it is and is entertaining, thus it's his show.

The only thing Dilfer could say that I would respect would be: I owe my Super Bowl ring and subsequent fame and career to the Raven's defense, one of the greatest ever.

Have Jaws do the show with Gruden lol. That way when they disagree about something they can bicker back and forth like they do on MNF.

[brainless wuss]

Jaws to Gruden: "John, you ignorant slut...."

[stirs]

Andy Dalton looks the most NFL ready of any of the guys

I'll admit that I was drunk last nite when I watched Gruden's segment with Cam. But, what I came away with was......

Gruden: Cam, call out a play like you would at Auburn.

Cam: Duh...............................

Somebody tell me I missed something or just misunderstood his answer.

[stirs]

We are so screwed if we take a QB at #1

I hope ESPN guys are lurking! that was a GREAT idea!
