I don’t think the game is really evolving. Everybody says you got to evolve as a coach. The game isn’t evolve. It’s dissolving. We’re not practicing anymore. We don’t even play. Guys don’t even play. Guys don’t meet. Guys aren’t together. We’re doing less now than we ever did before. You go to Friday night football, you can go watch Chamberlain play late to and you’ll see the same plays Friday night that you see Saturday and you see the same plays on Sunday. That’s why I enjoy watching the Chiefs play. I enjoy watching the Lions play. I enjoy watching the Buccaneers play. They’ll come at you with different personnel, different formations, audibles, a professional system. Some of these offenses I wouldn’t pay Ronda to go watch. Do you want You want to throw any out there, John? You want to throw any out? That’s for another show.

  1. I like Gruden but he was terrible in Oakland. He traded Mack for all those picks and destroyed the roster. None of the guys that he drafted made any contribution and he was making 10 million per year.

  2. ‘It was harder in my day’ has always been the line of has-beens. If it’s easier now why could you no longer keep up?

  3. I always preferred NFL over college until recently. NFL offenses are too similar to college without the atmosphere. Might as well watch college football

  4. Been saying this for years and all the casuals that watch ESPN laughed at me.
    They all Said it's as popular as ever.
    But that Doesn't mean it's better.
    The game play has fallen off a cliff.
    Tackling is terrible, guys taking bad angles. Same with the QB play and the coaching is atrocious? I wonder why that is? 🤔

  5. This Guy is the Real Deal , He should be Coaching Again . I Love Watching and Listening to Him .’

  6. Somebody please force feed this to Kevin Patullo, the Eagles OC! I could be a theee-year-old alien from Mars and know nothing about football and still tell you what play is about to happen on the Eagles offense on every play.

  7. Black quarterbacks have dumbed down the entire league, just like they’re dumbing down society! I’m so fatigued!
