I did find it interesting that he had Winslow and TG as immediate locks. Gronk as a slow-rolled 3rd was not what I expected.
He went with the 3 I expected him to, but I was surprised that he seemed torn on Gronk as his 3rd.

I enjoyed the Rudd stuff. I laughed for probably 10 minutes at his throw away line "try harder"
.
The best part about Rudd's part is that he REALLY ****ing cares. The stuff about his kid crying and all the stuff about next year and and all that did a couple things; First it effectively articulated the struggle that other teams might not know. Second it showed how much he really cares, which is for us. You hear about celebrity fans and yeah, maybe, but it's good that he actually cares. And it's weird to me - I know less than nothing about the celebity actor life but there aren't many rabid fans. It's good that we have one.
Rudd worked for me.
The I'm on it thing was good. And that's what I keep saying, they're honest. Hell, in a moment of honesty, most players would overrate themselves, but they've all been coached to pretend to be humble. What makes the thing go is that they're not spewing what3ever the PR guy tells them to.
I too was kind of surprised he threw Gonzo up there automatically. Gronk I get, and when he talked about motivating him to make his transition, that was really interesting. As we get older and have watched a million guys roll out to play football, it's easy to forget how impactful certain players can be in formative years.
I also think him talking about being a shithead was insightful. That can't be easy to sit there and talk about, but it was interesting to listen to.
