Hey Salsa,
What did you think about Tim Brown's comments yesterday about Bill Callahan throwing Superbowl 37?
I heard both Gannon and Rod Woodson say that wasn't true and the comments were ridiculous. But, Jerry Rice backed Tim Brown.
He is also backed by just about every single offensive player BUT Gannon....and Gannon will NEVER, EVER say anything bad about Gruden or Callahan due to the position he has or his very close friendship to BOTH Gruden and Callahan.
"Throwing the Super Bowl" ...?? I doubt it. But to change the game plan, NOT change the key words when they audible calls and basically use the same plays that Gruden HIMSELF institituted.... has to be THE stupidest thing I have EVER seen a coach do. Gruden even played the scout QB for the practices leading UP TO the Super Bowl so they know WHAT Gannon would say and HOW he would call out the audibles. I can see a player
thinking he threw the Super Bowl after that stupidity. You KNOW it has some legs when you see the NFL Films on that Super Bowl, you CLEARLY see AND hear Safety John Lynch tell the defense, 'they are running the exact plays coach told us they would run....!"
So do I believe he did it INTENTIONALLY... no. But based on what was done and NOT done, I can see a player thinking he did that.
This is OLD NEWS anyway. This story has been going around since the day AFTER that Super Bowl...nothing new in the Raider community.
