Around SBN: Leandro Damiao Is Still Really Good

Week Five Monday Night Football- Open Thread

What do you all think of Jon Gruden as an analyst on Monday Night Football? The head editor at SBNation.com, Chris Mottram, thinks he stinks. Then again, Chris is a Redskins fan, and since his team has pretty much been irrelevant for 15 years, maybe all the years of them playing crap football rotted his senses.

For me, I actually like Gruden as an analyst, but maybe that is because he is NOT Tony Kornheiser, who took the phrase "schmuck in the booth" and applied a face to it. Gruden's been pretty good about dissecting plays and trends for the teams they are broadcasting, and I found his nickname for Peyton Manning ("the Sheriff") humorous.More importantly, Gruden has not annoyed me as so many other announcers (Joe Buck, Kenny Albert, Gus Johnson, etc.) have a tendency to do.

I also very much enjoyed some of Gruden's stories about Manning, which NFL.com has available here.

So, do most of you think Chris is right, that Gruden is crap on Monday Night Football, or do you like his addition to Jaws and Tirico in the booth?

This is your open thread for tonight's MNF match-up between the Miami Dolphins and the New York Jets. Enjoy!

add Chris "The Creeper" Collinsworth

to that list of annoying announcers

My feelings on Gruden

As far as analysis and an overall understanding and thorough knowledge of the game, he is teriffic. He has seen and pointed out things this year that Kornheiser didn’t even know were part of the game. He also does not mention the Patriots every 8 seconds like Kornheiser, so that in itself is a major step up.

The only beef I have with him is that he is so intense, it can get annoying at times. He’s like a guy at the gym who not only pumps himself up and grunts before every lift, and enthusiastically tells everyone his routine and what they should do, whether they asked for his opinion or not. Also, it feels awkward with him and Jaws, as they clearly are not on the same page most times. I feel kind of bad for Tirico. I first thought Gruden was going to be a huge Patriots homer after the first MNF game, but then realized he is that enthusiastic about basically every team that they cover on Mondays.

To sum it up, he may not be perfect, but is a huge step up from what MNF football (and NBC, CBS, and FOX) has offered in the past, plus he really knows his stuff. I’ll listen to him, but screw Jaws.

I can live with his analysis as well

but yeah, he should really keep his opinions to himself. But man, him and Gruden just shouldn’t be in the same booth. I like Gruden for his sharp analysis and even the way he presents it, but he also has a habit of overstating the obvious with just as much enthusiasm. Like “Thomas Jones is a GREAT short yardage back!!!” or “Ronnie Brown does an OUTSTANDING job running the football!!!” It’s like yeah, no kidding Jon. It seem like Jaworski gets really annoyed with Gruden, and vice versa.

Cass, Marked Hoosier I'm ashamed in both of you

don’t buy into the raw rushing yardage and TOP = domination line that gets the announcers all a-tingle.

Moving the ball down the field efficiently and converting FGs into points is what makes teams win. Indy had over 10 yards per play on offense and got TDs while Miami ended far too many of those big rushing/TOP drives with long FG attempts.

Gruden as Analyst

I think Gruden has potential but he hasn’t reached it yet.

As a former coach, he obviously has the knowledge to spot things immediately and tell us about them, and he does sometimes, but he still seems more interested in showing off, boasting, outyelling Jaws, and goofing around. (Plus last week he spent the entire damn game openly and blatantly rooting for Favre. Annoying and unprofessional.) As ex coaches go, Billick is better. Which is funny, because I found Billick intolerable when he was a coach. He has toned it down though and now in his 2nd season in the booth has come far.

If Gruden bothers to stick around for a 2nd season instead of going back to coaching, I think he’ll mature into the role and be fine. I don’t like him so far, but it’s only 5 games and he’s getting better.

My biggest problem with the MNF booth so far, Favre aside, is that sometimes it’s hard for me to know immediately whether it was Gruden or Jaws talking. They both sound kind of similar.

by willyduer on Oct 12, 2009 8:58 PM EDT reply actions  

I didn't like his voice

but yeah, he was good, when he could actually talk.

It was actually the night he got laryngitis that I had my only “I don’t want to murder Deion Sanders” moment. He teamed up with Tirico and Faulk and did a great job.

I have nothing against the Jets now without Favre and Mangina

but I still want them to lose. I’m not a huge Rex Ryan fan (though I do like his defense), but mostly because if the Dolphins beat them and run all over them, people won’t talk as much shit about the Colts.

The Falcons are the only D so far to keep them from ramming it down their throat, and that was in the first game… Miami looked like the 1-15 team from the year before in Game 1 last year too.

Early complaining:

Peter King has the Colts 4th in his power rankings….

1. Minnesota (5-0). What a week for Jared Allen. Four-and-a-half sacks and a safety Monday night, followed on Sunday by one pass deflected and two fumbles recovered — one returned for a touchdown against St. Louis.

2. New York Giants (5-0). Take it from me. I had plantar fasciitis one summer in the mid-nineties. Stepped on a rock with my bare right foot in July. It still bugged me in December and didn’t go away completely until I did aggressive physical therapy. It’s like going through the day with a toothache. It never goes away. You can live with it by stretching and massaging it, but Eli Manning’s going to feel this ’til after the season.

3. New Orleans (4-0). The Saints didn’t drop from 1 to 3 because they had their bye this week. They dropped from 1 to 3 because of how impressive the Vikings were last Monday against Green Bay and Sunday against the Rams. The Saints and the Giants will have the chance to prove who’s better this Sunday in the Superdome.

4. Indianapolis (5-0). Three road night games in the past 21 days. What team has played three road night games in a four-game span in NFL history? Doubt it’s ever happened. I only bring it up because teams that play early road games return home at 8 or 9 p.m. Sunday. The Colts have returned home from their three road games at about 4:30 a.m. Tuesday (from the Miami Monday-nighter), about 5 a.m. Monday (from the Arizona Sunday-nighter) … and I’d guess they got home this morning about 2 a.m. from Nashville. They’ve got a Week 10 Sunday-nighter at home against the Patriots and a Week 15 Thursday-nighter at Jacksonville, and I expect one of their interesting games in the second half of the season (they host the Broncos and Jets) will be moved to a Sunday night game by NBC.

I’d put NY 1st. Then us or Minnesota 2nd. I know there’s a lot of Favre love, but Jared Allen is a monster.

And I was like, wtf is with that comment? It says absolutely nothing about the Colts. Really? Schedule nerdgasm? That’s the best you could come up with, Peter? Fuck me, he’s a terrible writer.

Tony Soprano has a vagina too!

Running on 3rd down and long when they knew they’d call timeout, giving them a minute of time to get into field goal range.

Are you kidding me?

You were getting 10 a play with wildcat and your QB isn’t totally lost. Show some balls and try to convert. Don’t concede the punt. Now you’re going to head into halftime losing.

I was too

I really liked that he did it. Cause even if they didnt convert Tenn had to go 90+ yards for a TD. And the defense was playing well so I liked our odds there.

Wonder what was goin the Dungy’s mind at the time

The way our defense is set up, it puts me in situations where I'm one-on-one in making tackles on running backs. When I go into it, I think I am going to win. It really doesn't matter the size, height, weight, whatever. I'm not afraid of putting my body in there." - Bob Sanders

I think the Favres are top of my list of “teams I want to see get beat up”. Although Roethlisberger’s going to be lucky to have a spleen left by the time Jared Allen’s done with him.

Funny

“6. Congratulations to Cedric Benson on becoming the first running back to run for 100 yards in a game against the Ravens since December 2006. You might think Benson doesn’t deserve such a distinction, but consider he has rushed for 73 yards or more in his past eight games. He’s pretty good now. Benson got off to a slow start in his career. But now he’s tough to stop. In that way, he’s sort of like a big boat captained by a drunk guy.”

Benson’s really surprised me this season. He can run. I don’t know how, but he can.

He's like the Energizer Bunny

He just keeps going and going and going and suddenly BAM you just got beat up by Cedric Benson. He’s like Turner last year, in many ways, only without the breakout speed.
