That defense wasn’t fucking around
Moment that got to me was when they juxtaposed Ronde’s pick-6 in the championship game with shots of the 1970s fans cheering, Like the ghosts had finally been exorcised.
Rolling in their graves at Todd Bowles
But…..but……now we have a defensive guru as head coach!!
I love in the Doc, when Gruden told Brad Johnson “We’re declaring war on the defense” and called a play action pass during a pure running drill (aka the defense never gets passes during this drill) and the RB caught it for a TD. The defense turned to their new coach “WTF WAS THAT?”. Gruden just snapped back “YOUR ASS BEEN GETTING BEAT IN PLAYACTION PASSES!”
(Goosebumps thinking about Trent Dilfer & Shaun White) Yeah, those defenses were great. Thank god.
The talent on that team was insane.
Did somebody say defense? We had one of those?
Watching Gruden then and hearing him now, idk.. it just feels like this guy should be the coach of the Buccaneers. I was truly against any coaching change and definitely didn’t want a retread on it, but man it just feels so right. I’ll say it. Bring Gruden back.

Remember when players were properly coached!
