I really enjoyed this article, goes indepth into his role and his character comes through as it as always has; class act and good man. Touches on things he does, his view of Sheila and a few others. His earning the trust of others in this paranoid industry.
Awesome read. Spielman is definitely a guy you want in your organization.
Love that he wants to learn more about the salary cap. Hey Chris you looking for an assistant.
great article, thanks for sharing!
i wonder if sheila would still get booed for the calvin thingā¦i think not
Discussing the teaching NFL plays and coverages to Ford Field workers, a Football 101 class I think it was called. The class came with one rule/warning, do not discuss what is taught outside of Ford Field, if you do the class will be discontinued immediately. His comment on the running plays with the cheerleaders, we had a blast they loved it.
So basiaclly heās doing what all of us wish we were doing lol
Please tell me thereās a video out there of him running the cheerleaders through tackling drills?! Lol
As I refuse to support the main stream media, I canāt read it.
Same here!
I want to tackle and drill the cheerleaders too
Consensually of coarse
Sorry pal, I donāt think even Aladdin could help you with that wish LOL
I got to the point that I was only going to keep one, then Idid what I did with the Athletic, sunday ticket and more.
I cancelled and took advantage of a 2yr offer that both papers were offering to new subscribers;
two year subscription for $22 total. At that cost, Iām willing; paid up through end of August 2024.
The conversation on linebackers is interesting because Iāve cited Spielmanās conversation with Sears about scouting linebackers in the past. (Specifically, that he didnāt like any of them in 2021.) To me, thereās a contrast between taking Barnes (talked into liking him) and taking Rodgrigo (made plays on tape). That might be a little twisted, but weāre entering year 3 of the regime and Barnes is a backup while Rodrigo is a starter. In the end, Chris was right both times.
LB is like QB in that a lot of it is between the ears. Rodrigo demonstrated that and was picked because of it. I think thatās important to keep in mind entering this draft. If thereās an LB or really any player that is all about football and shows it on tape, you have to know theyāre going to be found out by these dudes.
ETA: I donāt mean to distract from the content of the article overall. God bless Justin for being able to sit down with 54 for an hour. Like, who has time for that, right? But it happened for Justin and I appreciate the quality of the content.
Good point. Really, the 2021 class of LBās hasnāt done anything special, the last time I looked. I was personally a fan of JOK, who has done just OK (pun intended) and Nick Bolton. Bolton is the only one that I regret passing on. I wonder what Spielman thought of him.
Absolutely awesome article!
I love this idea
same
A razor might though
We might not be able to beat the Panthers, but our cheerleaders will kick their ass!
. I think I actually kissed him on his head"
-Chris Spielman
Seeā¦Holmes is so good looking that even Chris Speilman canāt contain himself around that devastatingly handsome freak.
āā¦When Sheila, Dan and Brad hold up a Super Bowl trophy ā this is my No. 1 goal ā and Iām sitting in the back thinking, āIām good. Iām done. See you,āā he said. āIāll be in Sanibel hanging out with a drink.ā
Got chills a few times reading this. Speilman is coach Dan, but in the front offices. Holy ā ā ā ā we have a perfect organization here.
Give Spielman a couple more years to expand & settle into his self-created role, before getting him an assistant or twoā¦so he can train ppl to be what he is being after he leaves. Tough to put a value on that role. It has to be ppl who have it in their blood like speilman ā¦Burleson? Someone like Lomas? Our out of bounds QB that is a sportscaster now (why TF canāt I remember his name)?
Someone who is 100% all lions that blue in their blood & permeating their DNA.
For now, let chris be chrisā¦in a couple of years, try to coax him into training an assistant or 2 that promotes from within.
Love the office linebacker so muchā¦even more than Terry Tate!
