Time to clean house 1.0.

Just listened to the latest Cooley Podcast. The last one was deleted because the newest one is labeled with the same number, 33, as the removed one.

The tone was strange. He didn't hand out any awful grades but wouldn't assigned one to Sanchez, so it was bad.

Most notable he graded most players C- range, but didn't really give individual grades. He really bragged on Payne, Allen, Trent, and kind of on Ioannidis but it was almost a comment on their effort.

He took some veiled shots at the coaching staff, and in particular about the running game.

He noted how players have been missing the LB on running players all year because of not knowing their assignment or just whiffing. He said if you can't figure out who to block or get a good angle, just put a full back and lead through the hole and hit the first guy. Easy fix.

He also mentioned a running play in which Roullier was awesome on an inside zone run, (we don't run stretch zone anymore) and we should run it like that every time but that wasn't the way this coaching staff teaches it.

An interesting listen and a strange tone, softer than expected toward the players, a little harsher, but definitely veiled more toward the coaches.

I'll listen, but the simple fact that they deleted an episode and made him do a new one is beyond pathetic IMO...

Just listened to this "new" 33rd episode... It did feel very strange.
It was so obvious he got some instruction: he finished the previous 33rd by saying as a player he'd count the days till the end of the season... and started the new one by saying the Skins are still very much in the playoff hunt...
He said HHCD should be benched ASAP in the first one... but that he wasn't out of position that much in the new one...

He still took some shady shots at Jay about the missed assignments in the run game, and said this Defense has enough talent to do way better than that, and that there was an obvious lack of passion.

Not to mention that AD ran out of the I formation behind a FB for his entire career before he got here. It's just fucking stupid for Gruden et. al. to keep doing things the same way when it's not working.

Gruden is one hard-headed MF who is more in love with his system than he is with winning football games. He cannot adjust at all and he reached his highest possible level of coaching as an OC.
