Merged: The Defensive Celebration? - Page 2

Greyboy · 08-18-2008, 10:16 PM

I really like what Sparano said when asked about the celebration.. He said " We were 1-15 last year.. If a player does something good I have no problem with it".

Great answer.. I have a feeling the players really like playing for Sparano.. He's old school and nothing like the doofus Cam Cameron.

If you RESPECT THE CODE, play tough play hard, then i bet the coaches and the MAN {parcells} have told these players they can celebrate

I think the crank stands for failing forward fast, or something like that, LOL.

I like the celebrations! It adds some Flavor to this D!

Dig those graves! Churn that butter !

elandre · 08-18-2008, 11:29 PM

I agree, nice to see some enthusiasm finally.

i also like how sparano says WE even when reffering to last years team, something subtle but i liked it.

Hero13 · 08-19-2008, 01:37 AM

Looks like they were turning the crank on an old car. Getting something started? winding it up?

I don't mind a celebration of an exceptional play. It gets a little old if they do it after the play they should have made in the first place.
Simple short celebration, that crap that looks choreographed or like they had to practice it is overboard.

I don't mind it. There are just so many new faces, and old faces in new roles, on the defensive side, if it draws them closer together and creates some solidarity, then I'm all for it. And from the story, that's what it seems to be doing. I can understand that sort of celebration.

Yep, supposedly that's the answer. They had a whole report and explanation of a 'fly wheel.' Crack journalism!

Backstory, it was ripped off from Tito Ortiz the former UFC Champion. He used to do the "grave digging dance" after he won his fights.

I dont know about you guys but if I am the coach my team does not celebrate anything after last years disaster. Make it to the playoffs and ok do a little celebrating.

Get back to the huddle and do your job.

Tony Sparano:

(On his thoughts of celebrating after every big play) – "We were 1-15 last year. I'm okay with them having a little bit of fun when they do something good."

It's near the bottom.

nerfball · 08-19-2008, 10:21 AM

I agree with coach, we were 1-15 last year, let them have some fun if they make a play. we need guys to be motivated and willing to play for each other.

we all know how much of a hard *** cameron was, he was all 'jacked up' when we got a field goal blocked. lol.

phins4ever64 · 08-19-2008, 10:22 AM

I recorded the game off NFL Net yesterday and watched last night--I really did not like it-- it was over used and unneccessary--they'll end up getting a penalty sooner or later that will cost us a game.

They were 1-15 last year. They were acting like they were winning a playoff game.
A little ridiculous!

I guess he's never been healthy because he's had only one winning season in 7 years, that included 83 fumbles, 89 INT's, & 249 sacks. That's not elite. Culpepper's like a 7-Up commercial, never had it, never will. Was Culpepper ever Mobile? Culpepper sacked 249 times in 7 years; Marino was sacked 270 times in 17 years. You do the math. P.S. If he's so good why is he still unemployed???
