Coach Deion Sanders on Travis Hunter, Urban Meyer Fired, and Week 15 Picks
We are back on Zoom for the first time in a while because PFT has officially joined the COVID ranks. It feels like 2016 again, and while PFT claims he only feels like he’s at a constant 9:00 AM energy level, the show must go on. We had an absolute banger of a Thursday Night Football game to kick things off, featuring Brandon Staley’s absolute refusal to use his punter and a Chiefs team that might finally be scary again.
Big Cat was ready to declare the AFC West race effectively over after the Chiefs outlasted the Chargers in overtime.
Big CatThe Chiefs are all the way back and the Chargers suck
The Chiefs are all the way back and the Chargers suck. Mahomes looked bad for the majority of the night until he kind of picked it up at the end of the game.
The conversation naturally shifted to Staley’s aggressive fourth-down philosophy. While the analytics community was out in full force defending the decisions, Big Cat offered a counter-theory on why these high-percentage plays might start failing more often.
Big CatThe conversion rate of fourth downs will decrease as defenses get used to teams going for it more often
Will the chances of converting [fourth down] decrease as defenses are used to you going forward on fourth down. It used to be you would go for it on fourth down, maybe once a game, maybe that was your best play in your playbook. Now you go forward on fourth, down four times a game. It has to, it can't be as high of a percentage like it's going to decrease. Eventually.
Speaking of teams getting screwed, the Browns are currently in the middle of a COVID outbreak that the NFL seems content to ignore. Big Cat and PFT are standing with Cleveland on this one, mostly because it feels like the league offices have a specific bias against franchises that don't win consistently.
Big CatThe NFL intentionally screws over non-winning fanbases like the Browns and Lions
The Browns and the lions or the say, well, I guess you could throw in the saints and the Patriots too, for other reasons. But the Browns Alliance non-winning fan bases. They get screwed by the NFL. Feels like an inordinate amount of time. It feels like the NFL essentially says, oh, well, it's the Browns who cares? Like they, like, what is a bunch of people from Cleveland going to complain?
The Fall of Urban Meyer
Urban Meyer was finally fired in the middle of the night, ending one of the most disastrous tenures in NFL history. PFT immediately went into mourning for the content king, noting that despite the losses, Urban did leave the league with at least one untouchable record.
PFT CommenterUrban Meyer has the highest winning percentage of all time for games played in England
Urban Meyer, the number one all time winning percentage for an NFL head coach in games played in England. Yes.
While the Jaguars move on to the Darryl Bevell era, Big Cat isn't ready to say Urban's career is over. He's just done in the professional ranks.
Big CatUrban Meyer is a Hall of Fame college coach but his style does not translate to the NFL
He's a hall of fame, college football coach, everything he did in college football doesn't translate to the NFL. I still think he's could go and win a national title in college football.
Big CatUrban Meyer will be back on Big Noon Kickoff within a year and win another college title in three years
Everyone should be ready for this urban Meyer sliding back into that desk on the Fox, big noon kickoff. I don't even know, might even be as early as this year if they have a bowl game. Pre-show but that will happen. And in like three years, he'll be linked to some big time job. Probably go take it, win a national title, and this will all be like, oh, remember when urban Meyer coach the Jaguars for 15 games.
The guys expect an immediate
