Young on Patriots dynasty
05.16.08 | Steve Young says he won't say the Pats' Super Bowl run is tainted. But now he has questions. He said he used to say Charlie Weis was a genius because of his halftime adjustments. Now, he has that seed of doubt. | Andrew Perloff

Young on knowing other team's D
05.16.08 | Steve Young says if he knew what defense was coming "the game would be over." He said getting in the other guy's huddle is the Holy Grail of NFL strategy. Young told a very funny story of when he was on the LA Express and the stadium was so quiet the defense could hear the other team in the huddle. They had to move the huddle back. | Andrew Perloff

Steve Young on Spygate
05.16.08 | Steve Young says the "systematic" nature of the Patriots' taping really bothers him. He says as a player, the effort that went into it bothers him. If it didn't make a big difference, why did they try so hard to do it. Young makes a distinction between gamesmanship and what the Pats did. And he's no Pats-hater. He thinks they reinvigorated the NFL with their team-first mentality

Re: Steve young now on spygate

Steve Young is a moron who forgets:

- Sideline taping is for post-game analysis, impossible for mid-game use.
- San Francisco with Young cheated by violating the salary cap.
- Every team has boatloads of video, to say sideline tape is that much more valuable, is laughable.
- Belichick is maybe the most thorough coach in the NFL, it really is that simple, his systematic approach even to sideline video doesn't mean it was a huge edge.

Young has never had anything good to say about us. He didn't have anything good to say after we got caught in the Jets game and is now obviously grasping at straws. Too many bruises to the cranium for him to notice that Walsh just said he caught at least one other team taping OUR signals. Of course that would never get mentioned because it's not the Patriots. Also, take into account that we are calling the 49ers dynasty into question in response to getting our's called into question. He probably doesn't like that.

Also, I was actually there when he went into the Hall of Fame. I booed him. :rocker:

Re: Steve young now on spygate

One line I keep hearing over and over again is : "Why did the Patriots try so hard to do it?" Let's review how hard the Patriots tried.
Time line:
Tueday before game: Call opponent and ask permission to use third camera
Sunday:Get camera out of box, load film, walk onto sidelines, point camera, film....leave field, extract film, turnover film, put camera in box....stand near coaches and players and feel important.
Diabolical

Re: Steve young now on spygate

all these guys criticize BB and now weis as not being a great coordinator. Why not say brady is an average QB. If he has doubts about weis then why not brady ?
Because they need the players for theirs shows and what not ?

He's one of the worst Patriot haters of all, and should shut up. This is nothing new from him. His SBowl team cheated the Cap to win, so he feels the need to pile on the Patriots. Eff him!

Yeah. I mean since he's so concerned with cheating maybe he should investigate the 49'ers tampering issues. Quite frankly, San Fran. is the team that probably has one of the more extensive records of cheating. I'm not sure why he's so worried about the Pats.

Re: Steve young now on spygate

No, Steve, the game wouldn't be over if knew opposing team's defenses simply because you are the most overrated QB in the history of the game. Don't flatter yourself.

Re: Steve young now on spygate

It's amazing to me that after all of these years even former players don't get BB.

BB will watch hours and hours of tape to get one little thing. Not just tape of the teams he is playing on a given week but the coaching staffs that may have been with teams years ago.

If these guys would read Education of a Coach or Patriot Reign, the wouldn't have to bring up some stupid poiints. It's all there how BB will break down film (tape) over and over again. And will even go back a few years and watch film to try ot get on trendency of another coach or player.

Re: Steve young now on spygate

Steve Young has always struck me as EXTREMELY BITTER of Tom Brady's success. Steve knows Brady is leagues ahead of Steve and will always be the better QB, and he doesn't like it.

Also, it bothers me that Steve Young is a millionaire, but his hairpiece looks like a collection of homeless mens' pubes.

It's very troubling.

In the 2000 preseason, Walsh taped the Bucs defensive signals. The Pats decoded the signals and used that knowledge in their regular season opener rematch. Charlie Weis is on record (per Dr. Z in cnnsi.com) telling one of the Bucs' defensive coaches after the game "We knew all of your signals". Walsh is on record (per his NYT interview) that the Pats QB responsible for recognizing the Bucs' signals and relaying that info to Weis said that the taped info helped them recognize about 75% of what the Bucs were doing.

Well, based on that and what Steve Young said, "the game would be over".

O'RLY?!?

Bucs won 21-16. Bledsoe was sacked 6 times, pressured about 15 other times and none of that includes the times he ran past the line of scrimmage for a yard or two to avoid a sack. The game was an offensive nightmare for the Pats. Warren Sapp spent the entire game in the Pats' backfield.

Chris

Exactly. I have always gotten the impression that Young is jealous of Brady. Listening to Young talk about this stuff I feel that he would like to accuse Brady of cheating but is too afraid of the backlash to do so.

Oh, don't worry. He's definitely forgotten about that game.
