Chip Kelly won't be as successful in his return to college because his system is no longer unique

Chip's going to... coaching in college football again. You think he's going to be just as good as he was the second time around? Probably not. Think about it. Everyone now runs what we ran in college. We were the first team to do this up-tempo, spread offense... Now everybody does it... So he is not going to be coming into a situation with a brand-new concept.

Eli Manning has plenty left in the tank if he gets an offense that suits him

He [Eli Manning] still has a lot left. Too many injuries, terrible offensive line, especially the tackle position... I think you give him a chance with a full new offense, new offensive line. They have weapons on the outside. He's a very specific type of quarterback.

The Patriots' defense is a problem because they can't rush the passer consistently

I think their defense is still a problem. They're 31st in yards per play on defense. This is not good enough. And they're going to run into a game where they have to stop a team and can they do it? I just think it's not consistent pass rush. It's every now and then, and I think you need to have more of a consistent pass rush to contend in the playoffs.

The Saints' biggest weakness heading into the playoffs is their lack of downfield passing

So this is odd about the Saints, but really it seems like their weakness is kind of throwing the ball downfield now. They don't really do that anymore... They just don't push the ball downfield anymore. Maybe they don't have to because of the running back situation. But they have a ton of explosive plays. They're just not the ball's not thrown deep downfield anymore.

The Rams' biggest weakness is their lack of postseason experience

I guess the Rams to me would just be – haven't done it yet. Like, they haven't done it yet. Jared Goff hasn't had that opportunity... I think for them, it's just experience. Like, I just – they haven't had the chance to be together as this team with a second-year quarterback and do it all.

Converting defensive linemen to offensive linemen does not work in the modern NFL

This idea of drafting guys with a high upside that can grow into your system or drafting a defensive lineman [to convert to OL] doesn't work. You don't have the practice time anymore to mold these offensive linemen. You need to draft guys out of college from, like, the same six schools, Wisconsin, Iowa, USC, Notre Dame, just draft them from these schools that are ready to play.
