Film Room Five: Jon Gruden is feeling himself

Five notes from a week of scanning the tape (MP4s, really): Gruden is doing Gruden things; McVay gets creative; everyone is getting Muggy.

Programming note: I hope you’re all well. There has been a big influx of subscribers over the past week, and I just wanted to say thank you. If you’re enjoying the current edition of The Read-Optional, let me know (you can reply directly to these emails, which is nifty). If you have any issues, thoughts, or ideas, please let me know that as well. As mentioned last week, the Film Room Five will be a season-long staple, unloading my notebook from a week(s) of watching tape. Next week, I fancy writing about what YOU want me to write about. So I’m making the FR5 a mailbag special. Send me your questions, ideas, whatever. And those will form the backbone of the Film Room Five. If there’s something you see on Sunday/Monday that you’re interested in, would like explained or are interested in a *shudders* “take”, then send it my way. Thanks again.
