Why does Gruden love veteran players so much? I can't remember a time when more veteran players were signed in one off-season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holyghost Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 This has been covered. Because he runs systems that are complex and young players are limited in that, thus limiting Gruden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaidersAreOne Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 As Ghost mentioned, his schemes are intense and he demands near perfection. Thus he has signed a lot of players he and his staff are very familiar with. This will get everyone caught up to speed as quickly as possible, then likely shipped off once the younger guys have a grasp of the playbook. Some of the guys mentioned above have already been cut.

Humble_Beast Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 simple... COMPETITION... no everyone will make roster, but guys who are lucky to be In the league won't make a gruden team. a former starter provides better depth then a scholarship player.. a new coach, so expect turnover the first year, and for everyone to earn their spot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

candyman93 Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 What he’s doing is actually kind of smart. Who cares if your roles players are old? Your most important pieces are still young and in their primes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
