“If a Doberman jumped out of a car with a gun, you wouldn’t be stretching,” Arians said. “When the horn blows, we’re practicing.”

Honestly, I am still laughing out loud at that one!

Stay thirsty my friends!

P.S. Everyone passed the conditioning test...BA said Dan Williams "looked sexy" passing it.

P.S.S. I will have my CB/S/ST analyses up tomorrow.

What's even funnier is choosing the doberman as your go-to scary dog reference. I remember those days. When the doberman was the scariest dog around. I think they're extinct now. When was the last time anybody's seen a doberman?

I use to raise Dobermans and I see them often enough. Very defensive dogs opposed to aggressive (meaning you have to get in their space and present what they perceive as a threat to their owner or property) but a gorgeous dog which can actually make for a excellent family dog due to their obedience and loyalty. There are always exceptions to a dog as a human and depends on their environment but in all actuality not as aggressive as a Chow or a Pit

Yeah, Pits have become the in breed with the aggressive mentality amonge the younger crowd.

I suppose Doberman's were viewed as the aggressive breed back when.

I don't remember them ever having a reputation similar to Pitbulls. Maybe it was just because they had better PR but I never thought of them as aggressive. Although that might be because I sat through three Doberman gangs movies back in the 70's.

I believe they were just viewed as very good guard dogs. They had them guarding stores and locked open work area's in a lot of films back in the day.

They were very territorial aggressive.

Bingo, territorial aggressive, protective dogs. I run a lot and though most Dobermans live in a fenced yard or in the house, I never had one run after me past his property if he was out... now again, Chows and Pits are horrible and thank God they don't have Greyhound bred into them like a Doberman has lol

My dad trained German Shepherds in the Air Force, and had a lot afterwards. We had a Doberman, and that was one of the best dogs I've ever been around. FIERCELY loyal and protective, but overall a laid back dog unless a stranger got in his people's space. I was about 7 when we moved from Nebraska to Arizona, and was in the back camper with Harley (the dobe...used to be a guard dog at a Harley shop) when some dude came by our truck and poked his head in the back...Harley blew the guys face off with bark and slobber, the guy almost fell down trying to get away and my dad laughed his ass off. He told that story so many times, patting Harley's head as he did it. You don't mess with a Dob's people. No way, no how.

BEST dog ever...loved him. It was very sad when he passed. One hell of a dog.

The Dobermans I raised came from an Air Force base, because they stopped using Dobermans for the most part since they tend to get attached to one owner and are hard to be directed by more than the person they become attached to. It hurt like hell when the last one I had passed away, the loyalty is amazing. I have a Lab now and my vet said the difference between a Lab and a Doberman is that when a Doberman is three months old he starts to act like he is 13 years old and a Lab at 13 acts like it is 3 months old haha. I sincerely hope our OL has a Doberman character about them and protect Palmer lol

I agree with Arians wholeheartedly. Don't waste practice time with stretching. Furthermore, a lot of research is showing that traditional stretching (static stretching) does nothing to warm up or reduce the risk of injury. Only dynamic stretching (moving stretches) which includes light jobs really warm up.

On the youth level, for pre-game i have ditched all static stretches in exchange for dynamic stretches. There is plenty of valid research on that topic available.

Also, when my annoying as heck Jack Russell mix kicks it, imma shop around for a Doberman!

Cannot think of the place right now directly, but I believe it is in Georgia. They breed Dobermans which have a reduced affliction of hip problems when older. Dobies and German Shepherds are both muscular dogs but with speed and arthritis can be a problem when they hit about 8 to 10 years old. There is good medication a Vet can give them for it which really makes the pain lessen but it is expensive when you get the stuff which has less harmful effects on the liver. Little dogs do bark a lot, the epitome of a inferiority complex... sort of like cornerbacks lol

Eric(Iceman) and I grow up with 2 Dobers. They were the greatest dogs. If you knew them, they would actually lick you to death rather then bit you, but everytime someone pulled into our house and saw Greta or Pepper, they would never get out of the car. So just them sitting there did the trick.

The hip arthritis was a beast on our dobe when he got old. Very, very sad.
