CHUCKY PLANTING ANOTHER SEED

It’s called Child’s play when you think the killer is dead at the end of any these slasher movies. Suddenly Freddie is coming for you. Then Jason is a reborn Christian who never gets rid of the hockey mask as he’s still haunting the good citizens visiting Crystal Lake. Now the return of Chucky to the NFL. Jon Gruden was the victim of the tuck rule when he coached the Raiders. Won the Superbowl as Head Coach of the Buccaneers in his sequel versus his old team, the Raiders. Then Gruden’s third Child’s Play movie took him to the broadcast booth. Then the Raiders offered Gruden to come back to coach with a few Brinks trucks for his 4th Chucky, Child’s Play of the series. The 4th Chucky ended very bad with old emails from the Washington Redskins days resurfacing in front of a live studio audience. Gruden steps down as head coach in 2018. Gruden’s reboot of Child’s Play comes with the Saints, being a consultant to help New Orleans implement a new offense. The NFL has no comment. Is it too soon? Should a guy like Gruden be banned from the league for life with his racist homophobic rants on company emails and some guy, the head of the players association, and his big lips. I was always raised on sticks and stones will break your bones, but names will never hurt.

The head coach of the New Orleans Saints, Dennis Allen, and his quarterback, Derek Carr, and “Chucky” Jon Gruden himself have ties to the Raiders organization. Both Allen and Gruden have coached Carr during their coaching career. Allen was around for Carr’s rookie season while Gruden coached the Saints quarterback for few seasons when he came back to the Raiders organization. The stats show Carr performed his best behind center with Gruden’s designed offense. We all know Allen is a defensive minded head coach and the last few seasons, the Saints have been one of the better units in the league. Since Sean Payton left New Orleans, once a high powered offense has turned into one of the worst units in the league. The Saints have not found their replacement for Drew Brees as Jameis Winston and Andy Dalton could not get the job done in one of the worst divisions in the NFL, the NFC South. This off-season, the Saints think they finally found the answer behind center, and they feel Carr could get New Orleans back to the post-season. Bringing on Gruden to help Allen’s offensive staff implement an offense tailored to their new quarterback’s strengths, could be a savvy move if the team gets good results during the season. Every savvy move by one brain trust could follow with dark clouds of some who want guys like Gruden banished from the league for good.

We all know the Washington Redskins organization was a complete mess. When Jon Gruden coached in Washington, he was trying to establish himself in the NFL as a quality assistant and moving up the rungs of the ladder to take his abilities to the next level. Passing notes makes you think of the clowns you knew in high school. It seemed like the Washington organization at that time was the Delta House on campus with just crazies running the asylum. The NFL was investigating the Redskins’ former President of Football Operations, Bruce Allen. The league had multiple data sets compiled up on that regime. The league paid investigators lots of man-hours to not leave any stone unturned. With all the information the league had on Washington, it was the Gruden emails that seemed to leak out to the public. In 2018, Gruden had no choice but to step down as Raiders head coach because he would have lost his own locker room. You would think more stuff would have come out of the closet filled with skeletons, but Gruden Chucky would take the sword and Child’s Play 4: the Bride of Chucky would end. Once again the Killer always comes back in all these slasher films and Chucky finds a window to crawl through to his next gig in the NFL, even if it’s only consultant work.

When it comes to Jon Gruden as a NFL head coach he may be a guy very overrated at that position. How many coaches have won one Superbowl? How many great coaches, that are better than Gruden, have won no Superbowls? Gruden’s superbowl win came against a team he helped build and knew every weakness they had. Can you fault him for beating his old team in the big game? Gruden did not create the match up as his Buccaneers took a different path to the Superbowl than his old Raider team. I think Gruden’s a good coach a middle of the pack type of guy, who does have a great offensive mind. I think he can help Derek Carr get his career back on track. I think he helped the Saints running game use Alvin Kamara and the team’s biggest free agent signing of the off-season, Jamaal Williams, to turn this new tandem into a deadly two-headed monster attack. The Saints have the Swiss Army knife in Taysom Hill. The Saints have some nice receivers in hopefully a healthy Michael Thomas and the speedster, last season’s rookie, Chris Olave. As a consultant in the background, the Saints can avoid anybody that does not like their idea. Plus this may be a limited basis type of assignment for Gruden & once the offense is installed, he can go on his merry way. In and out like a bank robber. This is probably best for Gruden right now to just get the feet wet & see how everything goes before he gets back in the league at a permanent job. Gruden has filed a case against the NFL. Gruden should not have been the only target in that Washington investigation. If Colin Kaepernick got money from the league that they black balled him as a person, not over what he did on the field because he was not very good at it. Gruden is a moron for writing things on an email that stays in the clouds. I will say every nationality in the entire world or galaxy probably has made a comment about another race, creed, or sex for no good reason. Sometimes poking fun is what this could be, poking fun. Don’t get me wrong… some people are haters of everybody, but I don’t think Gruden fits that profile, especially coaching a game that has higher percentage of black players than any other race playing the game. You know football is this guy’s life. The guy should get another gig in the NFL. I would not make him the face of my franchise because of the checkered past. I would take his help on my staff. Everybody does stupid stuff. We all should be out of jobs for our past, even the Saints found a bump in the road at one point. Let’s see if the Gruden offense can put Derek Carr into Sainthood. The Carr was not driven right in Josh Daniels’ Patriot way. Meanwhile Chucky has planted his seed and you know the reboot of the series is just getting into the works… he’ll be back.
