Eagles

Let’s Compare Doug Pederson’s and Bruce Arian’s Speeches

Yesterday, the Eagles posted a 6-minute video – the first in a series, apparently – called The Journey, a sort of Hard Knocks-All or Nothing lite in-house fare. It’s quite well done for a team website video. I’d recommend watching it, specifically the part where coaches work with Carson Wentz. But what struck me was that we got to see Doug Pederson’s first team meeting as head coach, and I thought that maybe we should compare it to the first team meeting held last year by one of the best in the game, Bruce Arians, as seen on Amazon’s All or Nothing: A Season with The Arizona Cardinals. Initial conclusions? One guy demanded to win the bitch and the other stuttered through his opening line with nervous hands that made him look like a tweaked out Mr. Burns.*

The full video is after the jump.

*Just a cautionary tale for you, the reader: I hated Charlie Manuel when he first got here, loved Chip Kelly, and hated the Jeff Carter trade. This bodes well for Crusher Doug, who will probably win a Super Bowl this year.
