Brian Daboll is a fantastic head coach

Brian Daboll is a fucking awesome coach. I'm gonna say he is a Hoss, he's awesome. I like his entire coaching staff actually like Wink Martindale. No one thought the Giants were gonna be four and one.

The Giants went on to make the playoffs and win a road playoff game in Daboll's first year, validating this assessment.

Daniel Jones might play himself into a contract extension

The Giants are essentially saying Daniel Jones isn't the guy. So we're gonna just basically say we don't really care about his long term health. We'll run him all the time, but he might just be such a gamer that he just runs himself into a contract extension where he's like, Hey you basically said we'll waste his health to try to eek out a few wins and now he's just winning while injured.

Daniel Jones signed a 4-year, $160 million extension with the Giants following the 2022 season.

The Browns are now officially 'the Chargers'

I think that the Browns are the Chargers. The Browns have taken the Chargers label from the Chargers. They're the most Chargers team in the NFL taking that crown from I guess the Chargers.

The Browns finished 7-10 with several close losses, while the actual Chargers also had a classic 'Chargers' collapse in the playoffs.

A coach should be fired once they've clearly hit their peak and started declining

The rule for like cleaning the entire house is you have to, if you can sit there and be like, have we hit our peak? And [the Commanders] covering the spread against the Bucs in the playoffs was your peak. That was absolutely. But when you can, when you can actually say you can point to it, you're like, that was the peak and it's been all downhill from that point. That's fire the coach time.

Ron Rivera was eventually fired after the 2023 season as the team continued to decline from that playoff peak.

Russell Wilson was a system quarterback and Pete Carroll fleeced the Broncos

I think it's fair to say at this point that Russell Wilson might have been a system quarterback. Because Geno Smith right now, if we're grading who won that trade? Pete Carroll is doing the monopoly man's strut and he is like, Yeah, fucking fleece. The Broncos got fleeced, he got rid of Russell Wilson. Like he was bad penny.

Geno Smith won Comeback Player of the Year and made the Pro Bowl while Russell Wilson had a disastrous first season in Denver, leading to the firing of Nathaniel Hackett.

The NFL's new 'wobble rule' will lead to players staying on the ground to avoid being spotted

This is so classic NFL because now every single coach is gonna teach their players: Just stay down for an extra second. Get yourself together and then stand up or have a lineman that goes and picks them up and like holds them for a second so they can't visible wobble.

While hard to verify across every play, linemen helping QBs up quickly and QBs taking a beat to steady themselves became common practice.

I could be a successful NFL coach by 'coaching on vibes'

In my head, everyone's like, thing is so crazy. Why don't we just go for 10 points? Because then they can't beat us with a touchdown and a field goal. If we were rolling we should just keep rolling. [Big Cat: Billy would always coach on vibes].

The math was actually corrected by Big Cat and PFT during the segment, showing Billy's 'vibe' coaching was factually wrong.

The Patriots will make the playoffs if they keep wearing their throwback jerseys

If they wore those jerseys [Pat Patriot throwbacks], they make the playoffs here. [Big Cat: The logo in the center of the field, the jerseys pop, the helmets pop. Bailey Zappy pops].

The Patriots did not make the playoffs in 2022, finishing with an 8-9 record.

The Dan Campbell 'tough loser' era is effectively over

I think that Dan Campbell thing is done. I think it's done. I feel like I've seen the same thing you were saying. They're the most fun team with football. They're fun, but that doesn't mean the coach is good. They make self-inflicted errors every week. I just feel like Dan Campbell leads the league in just doing dumb shit and then getting in front of the media and just being like, that's on me.

This take was spectacularly wrong. Campbell turned the Lions around to finish 9-8 that season and became one of the league's best coaches.

I prefer Bailey Zappy over Mac Jones right now

Currently? As it stands right now? [PFT: Zappy meal or Big Mac?] I, I gimme Zappy meal. Flavor of the week is Bailey Zappy. I'm eating.

Mac Jones eventually took the starting job back, though both struggled. Zappy did not permanently replace him in 2022.

Justin Fields is gonna have 17 completions plus. [PFT: 17 with the overall there?] 17 plus. [Big Cat: That's an insane game].

Justin Fields had only 14 completions in the following game against the Commanders.

The roughing the passer call against Tom Brady was the worst call in NFL history

I think that roughing the passer call sucked. Do you think that was the worst call in NFL history? I think it might be the worst call in NFL history.

Widely regarded as one of the worst officiating errors of the 2022 season, helping the Bucs secure a win they might have lost.

Matt Rhule should take a college job immediately to save his buyout

Gotta end it. Matt Rhule can't sustain more blowout losses. Get that buyout less, let him get a job in college. This relationship... it's crescendoing to that loss. This was a firing type of loss.

Matt Rhule was fired the very next day (Oct 11, 2022) and was hired by Nebraska shortly after.

DeMeco Ryans will be a top-tier head coach within three years

DeMeco Ryans will be coaching in a playoff game within three years of getting a job. I'm going to double stamp it and I'll go one further. He will be way, way, way, way, way above average head coach.

Ryans was hired by the Texans in 2023 and won a playoff game in his very first season (2023-24).

Kyler Murray has zero situational awareness

Kyler Murray situational awareness 0.0. He slide canceled... he starts his slide like two yards before the sticks. It's crazy. And then gets up and thinks that you had it first down. He slide canceled if you're gonna put it in Call of Duty terms.

Kyler Murray literally spiked the ball on 3rd down because he thought he had the first down, ending their chance to run more plays.

You should never trust a muscular kicker; they must be 'little nerds'

You do not want to have a jacked kicker on your team. It's hiring a skinny chef. You want your kicker to be a little fucking nerd. [Matt Ammendola] is just the biceps a little bit. Nobody wants to see that. You want him to be really skinny and just have a big fucking leg.

Ammendola missed a critical field goal to tie the game shortly after this discussion was taped.

The Warriors will struggle to recover from the Draymond Green punch video

I don't know though. I think this is something that it's gonna be hard for them to get over as a team. I don't know if they're gonna be able to come together. This is probably it for them.

The Warriors' 2022-23 season was plagued by chemistry issues and poor road performance; Poole was traded to Washington the following offseason.

If James Madison finishes undefeated, I am declaring them National Champions

If we do go undefeated, I'm going to declare that to be a national championship. Have to. First year five games into playing an actual FBS schedule and James Madison is now ranked 25 in the nation. My hands are tied.

JMU did not finish undefeated, losing to Georgia Southern later in October 2022.
