Robert Griffin III, The 41 Free Throw Challenge, Super Bowl Clean Up And We're Low On Sleep
We start with some Super Bowl clean up and the boys are very low on sleep and borderline delirious. We taped the first 20 minutes of the show at 3 am, left to shoot more free throws during Hot Seat/Cool Throne (-) and then returned after we had finally completed the free throw challenge at 8 am. We go on some wild side tangents to different places in the recess of our brain (-). Robert Griffin III joins us in studio as we talk about his career, how he saved football for PFT, is he too horny online? And tons more (-). We finish with Pardon Your Take from the listeners (-).
Recap
PFT CommenterNFL teams that score first in overtime should go for two
If you do get the ball first in overtime and you score, should you preemptively go for two? That would be the only thing that could save the 49ers if they said, yeah, our plan was to go for two if we scored a touchdown.
PFT CommenterKyle Shanahan is officially the coach that can't win a Super Bowl
This is a label that's gonna wear on him. It is what he is at this point. Like until he wins a Super Bowl, we're just gonna say, yeah, Kyle Shanahan is the guy that can't win a Super Bowl.
PFT CommenterPatrick Mahomes will soon reach AI-like super computer status
He'll soon reach super computer status where he'll know what to do before each play starts. He's just becoming AI. We've got AI Mahomes.
Big CatCaleb Williams is putting up too much bulletin board material before entering the NFL
I do want him on the Bears. But like, you gotta play in the NFL first, dude. You gotta know the pictures. He's putting up a lot of bulletin board material on himself. Well, in the last like full year. Get there and be good for a little bit and then you could do anything you want.
Jake MarshThe playoff overtime rules should be the regular season overtime rules
They need to make that the regular season overtime rule. I, I really don't understand. And the excitement factor and the strategy and the risk involved is it's so different.
Big CatCollege football overtime should have no kicking
Do you know what they should do? They should do college football overtime. No kicking. You just like, it's just score a touchdown from the 25. Everyone can hit a field goal in the NFL from 25. I'm just saying you just only can score a touchdown.
Hot Seat Cool Throne
PFT CommenterThe Taco Bell Cheez-It Crunchwrap will be elite
Let me just say that The Cheez-It Crunchwrap looks elite. Yes. It looks, I without tasting it, I can tell you that's probably on my Mount Rushmore of Taco Bell Foods.
Interview
Robert Griffin IIII can still play in the NFL and am not technically retired
Can I still play in the NFL? Yes. Yes. Are you retired technically? No. I have not put in my paperwork or, you know, signed my anything with like the trust or anything like that. I've done that on purpose because I didn't want to have to do it twice. But no, I, I just train every week like I'm a player and then if I get the call, I'm ready to roll.
Robert Griffin IIII ran a 4.38 forty-yard dash on camera last year
I ran a 4, 2, 5 last year. So you're faster than you've ever been. It was hand times. But then they actually went back and timed it on the camera and then it was a 4, 3, 8. So we'll go 4, 3, 8. I'm cool with that. Listen that, that's faster than I've ever been to be honest.
Robert Griffin IIIThe Washington Commanders will likely change their name again
I think it's a terrible name. Yeah, I think it's an awful name, man. I don't think it's gonna be Commanders long term. Because if you've seen Josh Harris, I kept an eye on this all year. He always wears the Washington hat, right? With the W on it. I've never seen him wear Commanders on his shirts.
Robert Griffin IIII shouldn't have played at all in the 2013 NFL season
I came away from watching that tape in 2013, honestly disgusted. I shouldn't have played at all in 2013. Gave myself a full, a full year of not just watching tape and building those bonds. The bottom line is, I did play, and what you put on tape is how they're going to judge you.
Robert Griffin IIINFL teams shouldn't draft a QB into a split front office situation
If I'm an evaluator, I'm a GM, I'm never drafting a quarterback into a situation where there's a split in the building. Don't do that. 'Cause the kid's not gonna be able to have the best chance to be successful. You can't draft a guy if everybody's not gonna be in lockstep to help develop that guy.
Robert Griffin IIIBrock Purdy played the quarterback position better than anyone else this year
If you just look at Brock Purdy stats from the regular season, you'd say he was the best quarterback in the NFL this year. Lamar was the MVP, Brock Purdy played the quarterback position better than anybody in the NFL. He's a creator. He creates plays for them, not just with ball placement, but with his legs.
Robert Griffin IIIPatrick Mahomes is the second greatest quarterback in history after only six years
Mahomes is either gonna have two Super Bowls in his six years, or he is gonna have three Super Bowls. So he'll already have been the second greatest quarterback in NFL history. In six years. It's crazy. He's on a Brady track.
Robert Griffin IIILamar Jackson and Josh Allen deserve the same grace period Peyton Manning had
It took Peyton Manning nine seasons to win one Super Bowl. And Lamar's going into year seven. So give him that grace that we gave to some of these others. Same with Josh Allen. I hate the fact that they're debating whether he's great on TV every freaking week when he loses a game.
