Michael Bennett on Seahawks Era, Schiano Man Days, and Sam Darnold’s HOF Trajectory
Week one is officially in the books, and while the Jets might actually have a franchise quarterback, the Detroit Lions have Matt Patricia wearing a backwards hat while getting blown out at home. Big Cat and PFT are already making grand declarations about the season, starting with the realization that Matthew Stafford is the most confusing statistical anomaly in sports history.
Big CatMatthew Stafford will be a Hall of Fame candidate based on stats while being the 'best worst' QB ever
Matt Stafford is going to go down as the best, worst quarterback of all time because his numbers – he doesn't get injured... If he can play on one or two winning teams, his statistics... will be so insane that he will be a legitimate Hall of Fame candidate. And everyone who watched him would be like, that guy sucked.
As for the Lions' new leadership, PFT isn't exactly sold on the defensive genius of Matt Patricia. The optics of the loss were bad enough, but the fashion choices made it worse for the guys in the studio.
PFT CommenterMatt Patricia looks like Romeo Crennel Part 7
Matt Patricia, I'm not sure if I'm ready to call it yet. But he looks like the latest. He looks like Romeo Crennel Part 7.
Big CatYou cannot wear a backwards hat and lose as an NFL head coach
Matt Patricia, you can't wear a backwards hat and lose... You just can't do it. You look like an idiot when you wear a backwards hat and lose. If you win, you can wear whatever you want.
The Return of Pardon My Woke
With Serial Season 3 launching in Cleveland, the guys decided to pivot into investigative journalism to solve the greatest mystery of our time: why the hell does the NFL still have ties? After the Browns and Steelers played to a rainy stalemate, PFT took to the airwaves with his best NPR voice to explain that while soccer fans love a draw, Americans would rather eat horse poop than settle for a tie. The investigation also looked into the Raiders' lack of a pass rush, which Big Cat thinks has a very simple, $141 million explanation.
PFT CommenterSean McVay is a much better head coach than Jon Gruden
I think what it taught us more than everything is that Sean McVay is just a much better head coach than Jon Gruden. The way that he adjusted. Time is undefeated. The first half was classic Gruden football... And then at halftime when the adjustments get made, McVay obviously knows what he's doing.
Speaking of the Raiders, Derek Carr looked absolutely terrified for sixty minutes. Big Cat is officially out on Carr, but he is all the way in on Sam Darnold, who looked like a seasoned vet after throwing a pick-six on his very first NFL pass.
Big CatDerek Carr sucks
Chucky is back. And the Raiders are a hot mess. Derek Carr... sucks. He sucks.
Big CatSam Darnold will definitely be a Hall of Famer
I feel like this is a long time coming, and I'm sure Sam Darnold will be a Hall of Famer.
Michael Bennett Joins the Show
Eagles defensive lineman Michael Bennett stopped by the studio to promote his new book, *Things That Make White People Uncomfortable*. The conversation went everywhere from his time in Seattle to the weirdness of playing for Greg Schiano in Tampa Bay. Bennett didn't hold back on his disdain for fantasy football, arguing that it removes the humanity from the players who are actually putting their bodies on the line.
Michael BennettFantasy football dehumanizes NFL players
I hate fantasy football. I just think it just dehumanizes the players. I think you put somebody in a place where they're not real, they're not human... this guy blew his fucking ACL out. Nobody really doesn't care about him as a human being just about how many points can he bring to his team.
Bennett also gave some insight into the Legion of Boom days, explaining that Pete Carroll was years ahead of the league regarding player safety and tackling techniques. He broke down the psychology of a tackle, noting that most players are actually closing their eyes at the moment of impact.
Michael Bennett85% of NFL players are scared at the moment of contact when tackling
Every time you look at it, it's very rarely that there's a couple guys in the NFL who are really just coming in and they form tackle the right way. But every time people duck their heads, at the moment of contact, 85% of everybody gets scared. If you look at it, people's eyes are closed. They're scared of it. It's human nature.
When asked about his new teammates in Philly, Bennett was quick to crown the new king of the defensive interior while making a bold prediction for the Eagles' season.
Michael BennettFletcher Cox is the best defensive tackle in the NFL
Who's the best defensive tackle in the league right now? And you can't say yourself. Fletcher Cox. Good answer.
Michael BennettThe Eagles will win the NFC and go from there
Give me an official prediction real quick for your record this year... As an eagle. I think we're going to win our conference and go from there.
Hot Seat, Cool Throne and Stay Woke
Hot Seat/Cool Throne featured a discussion on the tragedy of the new Sunday Night Football theme song. PFT and Big Cat are devastated that "Waiting All Day for Sunday Night" has been replaced by a generic Carrie Underwood track called "Game On."
PFT CommenterThe new Sunday Night Football theme 'Game On' is terrible
The Sunday Night Football song... What does NBC think they're fucking doing? I was waiting all day for Sunday night. No, I was waiting all day for waiting all day for Sunday night. And now it's some crappy Carrie Underwood... Game On is the new theme... I don't have room in my brain to learn a new song.
To wrap things up, PFT used the Stay Woke segment to look back at the most iconic first pitch in baseball history. While everyone remembers George W. Bush’s strike after 9/11 as a moment of national pride, PFT is asking the tough questions about the "Presidency Era" of the early 2000s.
PFT CommenterGeorge W. Bush was likely on steroids for his 9/11 first pitch
Greatest first pitch of all time... How come nobody's ever asked? Was George Bush on steroids? It was the height of the steroid era. Did W take PED? ... why wouldn't you rub a little bit of cream on your arm? Absolutely. Put some clear underneath your tongue.
