Projekt Spielberg Graz Giants Im Finale Der AFL Projekt Spielberg Graz Giants im Finale der AFL Zum ersten Mal seit 2009 stehen die PROJEKT SPIELBERG GRAZ GIANTS im Finale der Austrian Football League. Der Gegner in der Austrian Bowl XXXII am Samstag, dem 23. Juli, sind die Swarco Raiders Tirol. Der Einzug in die Austrian Bowl ist das Highlight einer überaus erfolgreichen Saison der PROJEKT SPIELBERG GRAZ GIANTS. Mit dem Gewinn der Central European Football League und einem zweiten Tabellenplatz im AFL- Grunddurchgang übertrafen die Giants sämtliche Erwartungen. Der Grundstein zu diesen Erfolgen war vor allem die starke Verteidigung der Grazer. Gespickt mit den beiden Import-Spielern O’Neil Blake und Clint Floyd schnitt die Defense in vielen Statistiken unter den Top 2 ab. Im Laufe der Saison kassierte die Verteidigung die zweitwenigsten Punkte und darf sich als beste Pass-Verteidigung bezeichnen – mit Sicherheit auch ein Verdienst von Headcoach Martin Kocian, dessen System im zweiten Jahr eindeutig von den Spielern verinnerlicht wurde. So stiegen auch Spieler wie Thomas Schnurrer, Florian Probst und Marco Zöchner zu absoluten Leistungsträgern auf. Auf der anderen Seite des Balls nahm Offensive Coordinator Max Sommer zum ersten Mal alleine das Zepter in die Hand. Nach Jobs als Assistenz- und Positions- Coach erhielt Sommer die Chance die Angriffsabteilung der PROJEKT SPIELBERG GRAZ GIANTS zu übernehmen. Im Laufe der Saison stellte die Offensive immer wieder ihr Potential zur Schau. Obwohl man in einigen Spielen die Konstanz vermissen ließ, bewiesen sie in den wichtigen Momenten, dass man auf sie zählen kann. So schauten auch Last-Minute-Siege gegen die Vienna Vikings, die Swarco Raiders Tirol und SSB Vukovi in der CEFL heraus. Besonders in Auge stach dabei Klaus Geier, der nach einigen Jahren bei dem Flag-Football- Verein der Styrian Studs zu den Giants zurückkehrte. Geier ist mit acht Touchdowns in zehn AFL-Spielen auch der beste Spieler der Giants in dieser Rubrik. Am kommenden Samstag werden die Spieler der PROJEKT SPIELBERG GRAZ GIANTS definitiv ihre beste Performance abrufen müssen. Denn der Gegner, die Swarco Raiders Tirol, steht zum siebten Mal in Folge in der Austrian Bowl. Dennoch gingen sie in dieser Zeit nur zwei Mal als Sieger vom Platz. Nach 2011 durften sie auch 2015 den Pokal in den Himmel strecken. Das einzige Mal als sich Raiders und Giants in einer Austrian Bowl gegenüberstanden, war das im Jahr 2008. Damals gewannen die Grazer ihren bislang letzten Staatsmeistertitel mit 31:21. Zudem ließen die Raiders nach dem Einzug ins Finale die Giants bereits wissen, dass man noch eine Rechnung offen habe. Gemeint war damit die 22:21- Over-Time-Niederlage in der fünften Spielwoche der AFL.

  • American Football Players in Finland: the Cultural Differences
    American football players in Finland: The cultural differences Mikael Viljanen Bachelor’s thesis 2019 Summary Author Mikael Viljanen Degree programme Liiketalouden koulutusohjelma (Eng. Bachelors of Business Administrations) The title of the thesis Pages American football players in Finland: The cultural differences 43 + 33 The goal for this research was to discover and analyze the cultural differences between Finnish and American cultures, more specifically between Finnish and American athletes playing American football in Finland. This was done by interviewing American athletes who have played American football in Finland as professional import players. The interview the writer held was a qualitative open-ended question interview and was conducted to five American athletes who have played American football in Finland. The framework for this thesis is earlier cross-cultural research about Finland and United States. The writer uses the cultural dimension theories by cross-cultural researchers Geert Hofstede and Fons Trompenaars to research about the ways in which the two research groups could be culturally different. Despite Finnish and American culture are perceived quite similar to each other in the theo- retical framework of this thesis, this thesis did find out there is distinctive differences be- tween Finnish and American culture according to the research interviews. The cultural dif- ferences are mostly in the cultural dimensions of power distance, individualism, masculin- ity, specificness and affectiveness of the researched Finnish and American cultures. This thesis explains what each of these cultural dimensions stand for, as well as explaining the theory of cultural dimensions in general. An important background difference between the two research groups is that the game of American football is played very differently in Finland and in United States.

  • International Nfl International Feel
    INTERNATIONAL NFL INTERNATIONAL FEEL While the NFL continues to grow in popularity across the globe, international players are making an increasing impact on the field. For the 14th time in the past 15 seasons, at least one player who attended high school outside of the United States was selected in the NFL Draft. This year, the Pittsburgh Steelers selected wide receiver CHASE CLAYPOOL (right) in the second round of the NFL Draft. The Canadian wide receiver recorded 150 receptions 2,159 receiving yards and 19 touchdowns during his career at Notre Dame. “When you get drafted to a team like the Steelers, it doesn’t seem real. It’s a super cool thought and idea of me playing for the Steelers,” said Claypool. “Each day it’s going to get more and more real.” In addition, the Dallas Cowboys selected NEVILLE GALLIMORE (below) in the third round of the NFL Draft. The Canadian defensive tackle was credited with 148 tackles, nine sacks, and five forced fumbles during his career at Oklahoma. “It’s one of those things where I didn’t know whether I was going to laugh, cry or scream,” Gallimore said. “It was definitely a surreal moment. It was definitely worth the wait.” This season, seven teams will carry an oversees player on their practice squad during the 2020 season as part of the International Player Pathway program. “The International Player Pathway program is an important part of our ongoing efforts to grow the game globally and provide pathways for international players to make it to the NFL.” -NFL International Chief Operating Officer DAMANI

  • Austrian Football League Startet Am Sonntag
    Austrian Football League startet am Sonntag Diesen Sonntag (15:00 Uhr) fällt der Startschuss für die Football-Bundesliga 2014 mit zwei Schlagerspielen zum Auftakt. In Wien gastieren die Graz Giants bei den Danube Dragons bzw. die Swarco Raiders Tirol bei den Raiffeisen Vikings Vienna. Dieses Spiel ist gleichzeitig auch das Rematch der Austrian Bowl und Euro Bowl des Vorjahres. Der Titelverteidiger Raiffeisen Vikings Vienna geht mit einer „Perfect Season“ im Gepäck an den Start – die Wiener gewannen in der Vorsaison alle 15 ihrer Spiele. Headcoach Chris Calaycay, der eine in weiten Teilen erneuerte Mannschaft ins Rennen schickt, darunter den ehemaligen Florida Gators Runningback Emmanuel Moody, will davon nichts wissen: “Das war 2013, es ist eine neue Saison.” Auch für sein GegenüberShuan Fatah, seines Zeichens Headcoach der Swarco Raiders Tirol, sind die Karten neu gemischt. Der erste Verfolger der Wikinger hat sich mit John van den Raadt mit einem neuen US- Quarterback verstärkt. Mit D.J. Wolfe ist zudem einer der besten US-Spieler Europas von Calanda nach Innsbruck gewechselt. Allerdings sind in der AFL in der Saison 2014 nur der Einsatz eines Legionärs erlaubt. Wolfe wird daher vermutlich nur in der internationalen BIG6 Liga auflaufen, in der die Raiders in der Vorrunde auf Berlin und Chur, die Vikings auf Braunschweig und Dresden treffen werden. Auch im zweiten Spiel werden neue Spielmacher das Feld erstmals als designierte Starter betreten. Die Danube Dragons sicherten sich die Dienste von US- Quarterback Cary Grossart, die Graz Giants geben dem Eigengewächs Christoph Gubisch auf der Position eine Chance. Der zweifache Junioren-Europameister spielte vergangenen Saison eine Partie für die Steirer.
