I disagree. SS is more grueling physically than FS is.

i think wing is saying that with dawkins aging and losing a step or two those steps wont be as apparent at the ss position

Pretty much

GRUDEN EYEING RETURN TO PHILLY?

There's persistent talk in league circles that Bucs coach Jon Gruden is hoping to become the head coach of the Eagles if/when Andy Reid packs it in.

And given the current travails of Reid's sons, which are prompting all sorts of speculation that Reid might call it quits, Gruden's opportunity could come sooner rather than later.

But let's be clear.  We're not reporting that Reid is out, or that if he's out Gruden is in.  All we're saying is that the talk in league circles is that Gruden wants the job, if/when the job comes open.

please allah

[Magical_Retard]

oh god if reid leaves i do not want gruden here.

anyway did anyone hear this? some rumor on fox sports about mcnabb and to hugging and making up at some super bowl party?

[Munson]

please allah

Says the guy who uses the fact that Reid took over the team of another Coach in order to have his great defense as a way to attack Reid.

Not like Gruden ever did that or anything. And even if he did, he's had so much success elsewhere.

I'll take neither for 1 Super Bowl, please.

Gruden = massively overrated

Stay away "Chucky". Keep your novelty hard-core stare downs in Tampa.

As for the Lewis v. Considine debate...

I used to be a big time Lewis fan. But there is no question that he was terrible in 2005 and 2006. Did the Pro Bowl berth in 2004 go to his head? Did he see $$ signs in his eyes because of that and thus his play suffered? One of the guys a few of us know on the EMB sat next to Lewis' brother (who is also his agent) on the way to the SB and he talked about how much money Lewis wanted.

If you could fuse Considine's coverage with Lewis' run stopping ability you'd have a perfect SS. But its pick your poison. They need to draft a safety.

[SD_Eagle5]

If Reid did step down I think Gruden would be a great option. He has a Superbowl under his belt and took a 4-12 Raiders team and built them into SB contenders. The Bucs traded away two 1sts and two 2nds to get him so its not like he's gotten a lot of help in the draft. Plus, it's not like we're getting Cowher.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Gruden's version of the WCO is maddening to watch. Tampa fans want him gone because of his continual call of routes short of the sticks, too much pre-snap motion and things like that. They rarely throw deep. He does like to run the ball though. And I'm sure that is what people would focus on. But they sucked last year and those are with his players. HIm and Bruce Allen.

Not a fan at all.

[ice grillin you]

im trying to think what the bigger mismatch is

gruden over reid as a coach

or lewis over considine as a safety


probably gruden over reid....neither reid nor considine has any business doing what they do in the nfl...but reid has at least accomplished something where as considine is just pure garbage
